Your story is fun... Cool photo on the wall "boys".... Alpargata es una palabra muy usada en Andalucía y proviene (como tantas buenas cosas) de los árabes..... As usual, Todo se transforma....

I'm glad you liked it! Has visto alguna vez las colas para comprar alpargatas en las tiendas de Calle Toledo? Es toda un tradición veraniego. Me encanta :-)

Having read this, I have realised something about you as a writer that, now that I've seen it, I realise has always been there in everything else of yours I've read. You are such a hopeless romantic :) And I love it. This was beautiful.

Hehehe, me has pillado! I wouldn't have admitted to it a few years ago, but you are right, I am a bit of a romantic. So glad you enjoyed it <3

This is so beautiful - those yellow shorts stand for so much and clearly hold some dear memories. I love thinking of clothes that I wore in distant memories of my life and I most fondly remember those that gave me that boost of confidence, whispered that I had potential. Sadly, I threw most of them away after I admitted defeat to my burgeoning arse & waist 😂 But wear those shorts this summer! Take photos, videos, keep them alive! 💛

Thank you querida. They really do hold some happy memories... It's true what you say, some clothes really do give us a boost and make us feel like our best versions. Not sure about the photos and videos hahaha, but I will wear them, just for you... that sounded weirder than I meant it to!
