June 2017 Hydra/Póros/Aegina, Greece
How to survive in both cheap & chic way in island life? Zara Home 100% Made in Italy Straw hat and Sandro 100% cotton
Rubis dress are must-haves, and Vivienne Westwood 100% cotton uneven T-shirt (a
vintage, since I purchased it in 2007, Kaohsiung) for those are very
affordable and practical to prevent the Greek sunburn.
Before American Apparel announced the
second bankruptcy to public, I purchased made in the USA, 90% nylon, 10%
elastane Disco hot pants via its web shop, with over 60% off from the original
price, and this pair is easy and comfortable for the island adventure. With the
open-buttoned Sandro Rubis dress, I can wear as a long tunic, the 92cm length
of the dress can cover slightly below the knees, which gives a certain
protection of legs, and still shows a bit sexier of the hot pants.
Before on the road, usually I would prepare
appropriate amount of outfits to mix & match, while on the road, almost
never do I go crazy apparel shopping. The reason is that an instant decision
normally leads to a permanent regret, and since e-commerce is developing fast
and well, the bargain and choices are attractive and varied. Still, accessories
are my all-time favorite souvenirs. When we walk along at Glyfáda beach area in
Athens, the cute straw hat with black ribbon at the window display allures me walk in Zara Home; therefore, after 15 minutes, I have ideas already on how to
adjust between cheap & chic on the Greek island cruise trip.
The cruise ferry departures from Athens takes 3,5 hours for the
first stopover on the island of Hydra, then embarks to Póros. Separated from
Peloponesse by a narrow strait, Póros offers an enchanting view. The town
constructed on the slopes of a hill, is the center of most activities to look
around. The leisure time on Póros island only takes approximately an hour,
but we got the most exciting high summer street snapshot of the trip. The narrow passages are
hidden behind the taverns or mini yards, once found, they will lead to yet
another world.
The unknown world is full of grey pebble
roads, milky white windowsills, light yellow housing walls and hot pink
blossoms. The colour tones of my outfit-of-day are off-white, pure black and straw
brownie. As for accessories, besides Zara Home straw hat, Chloé round-frame
acetate sunglasses, Miu Miu Madras calfskin sac and Maison Margiela cutout
ankle boots are my best travel mates to keep the journey continue. It’s burning
hot in the afternoon on the islands, but with full cotton tops and lightweight
straw hat, the cheap & chic summer style successfully touches down!
TOP TIP: Wearing the ankle boots together with the super hot pants to make the legs visually slimmer!
