Two weeks ago, I showed you my studio sandals. When I returned to Hong Kong in 2004, I grabbed all the black pairs and an assortment of the other colors from a vendor on Cat Street.
purple: 2004, 1992
I really wish I could find them in the states.

Here is her description of what she wore (I have translated her abbreviations):

Elvis tee totally American. 
Purple skirt across the amber waves. 
Red hat. 
Flag shirt.

Oh they stare as if I am in the Zoo and not real! 
Argyle socks equal American to me
