Dress Of The Day with Angela

Neck warmer and blouse. Photo by Angela Lansbury. Copyright. I put  this neck warmer over the blouse. But it did not match the jumper. It matched the blouse. It hid the pretty collar. The neck of the blouse was gaping.  I pulled up the neck warmer. It raised the collar. It filled the gap. That moved the collar up to hide my craggy neck. The outfit looked neater because the neck warmer is hidden. You could do this with neck warmers, like short tubes. Of scarves. Use the neck warming  device on top of the blouse but under the collar. Neck Warmer No label. Blouse Shein. I love the colour combination. The background is fresh looking white. The pattern is pretty pink and businesslike gray.

When I was a student I wore a a black watch tartan tunic. The dark colours, black, dark green and dark blue, co-ordinated with black accessories such as shoes. Dark colours looked good with my hair which was then a dark mousy brown.  When I went to Scotland several times as a tourist from England. The shops in Edinburgh and all over Scotland sold tartans in all colours. As a tourist I simply went for the colour I liked. Unfortunately complete outfits were beyond my budget.  I knew that an army brigade wore black watch tartan in the old days. I was dimly aware that on ceremonial occasions different groups of the military, guards, and civilians would march in identifying colours. I wore tartan because I liked the pattern. In Scotland I was offered tartans as a tourist. Now I wear a lot of red. As a child I wore blue to match my eyes. My school uniform was dark green. I liked red to get attention, especially as I am being photographed, travel and am short of sleep and need red to make me

  Angela Lansbury in tartan blouse and Gordon Tartan headscarf. Dress 324. photo by Trevor Sharot. I was looking for tartans to wear when I gave a talk on Scotland, Scots language, Scottish people. I found a blouse but was not sure I could identify the tartan. Then I found a scarf. The label clearly identified it as Gordon tartan. If you buy a kilt, it comes with a white blouse with a jabot (centre front frill in white descending at the neck). Long white socks contrast with heavy black shoes. A decorative sporran.  (A sporran is a fur pouch hanging down on a string from the waist as a purse).

Angela Lansbury in Dorothy Perkins dress with cut hem. Photo by Trevor Sharot Was it a dress or a slip? It was long and black and thin with spaghetti straps. I decided it was a dress. The fabric had a very faint diagonal pattern. The Big Little Black Dress Firstly, the black dress was not little, It was UK size 16. Maybe that accounted for the length.    Secondly, the Little Black Dress was not little, but too long. So I cut off the hem.  The Scarf I was left with an infinity scarf. The scarf filled in the neck of the spaghetti strap dress. The Blouse  Too much black around the face. Funereal. Dull Depressing. So I added a black and white and grey and pink patch geometric pattern shirt from Shein. The Hooded Jacket The blue hooded jacket was needed for warmth.  Boots I had warm ankle length boots.  The material is real leather. At least the stretchy part around the ankle. The sole is synthetic.  With a zip at the back. Bliss.   The Black Dres I had a Dorothy Perkins dress or slip in bl

 You have four options. 1 Use safety pins. Keep the safety pins with the pins. 2 Keep the ends of the pins between the two layers of fabric by sticking the end inside the top layer. 3 Make sure the end of the pin goes in and out until only a tiny piece is sticking out, not a centimeter or even half a centimeter but a millimeter or two and the same in the previous dip in and under so if one dip of the pin end sharp comes out the next one may hold 4 If you have no safety pins, pins, or needles, use brooches.  Please share links to your favourite posts,
