In the beginning, more than fifteen years ago, when she was much slimmer and wore flared trousers, she seemed to enter a magnetic field whenever she came close to Tom. BNCB

flip-flops

vietnamky, gumové sandály

Tourists inevitably end up having to buy either wellies or flip-flops when the weather does something perverse. BNCB

High heels would have elevated it to borderline evening wear but she hadn't brought heels with her so she decided on gold leather flip-flops. BNCB

Her working gear comprised an oversized boat-necked T-shirt which had a habit of slipping off one shoulder, frayed denim shorts and flip-flops. BNCB

He was forced to fly by the seat of his pants when nobody was in the office to help him fix the computer. IC

None of us had ever worked on a magazine before so we were flying by the seat of our pants. CIDI

sledovat módu

Adults follow fashion in clothes and social habits as assiduously as their children. BNCB

I usually follow fashion very slowly and creep in just as it starts to look dated, but then I think that's the way I should do it. BNCB

fur coat
