What does it mean? I see it everywhere--in all the shop windows! Well, it means sale, as in summer sales. They last about 7 weeks and apparently Rome is the last major city in Europe to have theirs. The summer sales here go from July 1 to August 24. There are even rules about how the stores have to display the original price, the percentage marked off, and the sale price. Hmm...I love sales, but this isn't as exciting as it could be for me. Maybe if I was more into fashion I would be more excited about all this.
Actually, I have looked in lots and lots of store windows. We even finally walked down the Via Condotti (where all the big names have their stores--Prada, Armani, Ferragamo, etc.) I've decided that I really don't like most of the women's clothes they sell here. Maybe I'm just getting frumpy. I REALLY like the men's clothes we see in the windows. Wish I could buy my men some of these things! I also like many of the shoes, mens & womens, and the purses have started to catch my eye. However, the ones I like, both shoes and bags, are extremely expensive even on sale. Guess that's one of the reasons I'm not more into fashion.
