tasteful and understated

I am wearing a shirt with sequins on it. It also has large embroidered flowers, shiny beadwork, and hanging tassles on the cuffs. I bought it here in Yemen. This is easily the most tasteful, sedate article of clothing I was able to find anywhere in Yemen, and instantly upon purchase became the most garish thing I own. All day long I received compliments on how pretty I looked. I don't know why this type of thing continues to suprise me.

    Howdy neighbor, I'm a woman from Lehigh class '05 living in Oman. I can relate with your shirt experience, I had a similar one trying to find a hairclip that wasn't covered in jewels and feathers, hee hee. I have a blog at wowlv.blogspot.com in case you want to check it out.
