The Greek Theme, take 2
Looking over my blog statistics, the Greek Theme gets by far the most views.  I find that highly interesting.  For various reasons. Anything Greek was apparently THE hit this summer.  I had featured a few dresses on the topic and also Michelle Obama who promoted Greek in her fashion. It seems that everything Greek slowly but surely made its way into our neck of the woods.  About a couple of years ago, Trader Joe’s started to carry Greek yogurt.  At first only the type that had fruit puree mixed in, wh
