For the Next Contest

[Manolo the Shoeblogger]

Hello to the Sam!

Yes, there will be the contest next week.  The Manolo was going to have it this week, but his vehicular misadventures had left him feeling weak and unable to cope.  And so he took to his bed for many hours.

You have the Manolo's apologies, and his assurances that on Monday the Build the Outfit contest will return.

Dear Manolo,

 I am terribly sorry to hear of your vehicular misadventures... hopefullly these did not include the 'ghost-riding'... Surely a massage and perhaps a cocktail is in order. Con optimismo the coming week will find you in a relaxed, and well rested state!    Enjoy the weekend!

In the third BTO contest, JaneC commented that the shoes matched a dress she owned, so she based her outfit on that. How about a contest in which at least one element of each designer's outfit is already owned by the designer? It could be the purse, or the earrings, or a watch, or the nail polish, or whatever, it just has to be something one already owns. If an image isn't readily available, one could just describe it vividly.
