Festive wear

Tim took me to a shopping mall on Saturday, the first place I’ve been since the turkey attacked my toe other than the hospital! It was interesting seeing how difficult it was to find ways to maneuver the wheelchair around barriers in the garage, but it was delightful to window shop. I was in search of my annual non-holiday decorations, but the stores weren’t looking too festive this year. Even my favorite shop, which always has stunning seasonal displays, was undergoing construction. So not too many pictures, but an enjoyable time at least.

I adored the bag and shoes here, not that I could ever wear those heels, and see I got an SP in the process.

I am glad you are able to get out. Very glitzy. Definitely a country of contrasts. Very well composed. Great timing to catch the reflection of the man. Nice selfie too. V

Nice SP Helen. I'd break my neck if I tried wearing and walking in those heels!

Some fancy wearables in there and a nice SP of you in your wheelchair.
I'm so glad you at least got out a little.

You blend in really well, Helen! The human element injects life into this interesting shop window view. V.

I like the selfie, not sure about the shoes, they may attack too. V

That store does look lavish, and the shoes; spectacular! Thanks for the SP ... get well soon and just keep shooting. V

Talk about glitz! Those heels would render me immobile! Love the photo however, with its reflections and lights. V

The shoes would not be a very good idea at the moment...
Not that I could walk on them either, even without a turkey attack :-)
