Ode to My Fashion

We are off again, relocating to another country, to another undiscovered place. I am not going to tell you where yet. It is way too soon. And those of you who already know, please keep the secret to yourself. Anyway, while my lips are sealed about our new location, I can still let you know what I wore when I was getting there.
