Trendy Octogenarian Couple Sports Stylish, Eclectic Garments Left Behind at Their Laundromat in Taiwan

Many of us fret over the loss of a beloved sweater or discovering a lone sock, but we can at least find some solace in knowing that the garments abandoned at Wansho Laundry in central Taiwan are being worn to their full potential. 

The laundromat’s owners, 83-year-old Chang Wan-ji and 84-year-old Hsu Sho-er, have been fashioning the skirts, blouses, and trousers left behind into adorable, eclectic styles.

 Just last month, their grandson Chang Reef began sharing photographs of the octogenarian couple modeling their fashionable outfits—which often include matching shoes, graphic tees, and a range of accessories like hats, big sunglasses, and small leather pouches—on Instagram, where they’ve since gone viral.

To see Chang and Hsu’s backstory (they got married in 1959), see the New York Times profile. 

In yesterday's blog, here, I mentioned that I used to work with clay and porcelain in my garage. My dear friend, Irene commented and it brought back a funny story. 

One time I was sitting on the wheel throwing pots, when my eye caught movement. We always left the walk-through door from the garage open for our dog. I looked to where I thought the movement came from, and sure enough there was a little grey mouse. I picked up a wad of clay and threw it across the garage to scare him, but it hit and he didn't move. I was amazed at my aim, but I didn't mean to kill him. I knew I should dispose of him, but I decided to wait for Dave when he came home. When we got home, I told him and he said, "if you were able to hit it, it must have been half dead already! ;op When he got something to pick it up, it ran away!
