Dress Of The Day with Angela

  The Label and Seller British Home Stores. We all mourned its passing. Lovely clothes which, like those from Marks & Spencer, stood the test of time. Now in 2026 I can find British Home Stores back online but selling only homeware and no clothes.. The Salmon Pink Top Pink or orange? Lovely neckline. You can buy similar tops from Amazon, Ebay, Patra and Temu. Temu had lots of colours and styles in August 2026. The cost was mostly under ten pounds with a couple of items slightly above that price. Do an image search or Google or AI the colours and words, such as, sleeveless top, orange top, salmon pink top, lacey neckline, women's tops, summer top, cotton vest, silk vest, bamboo vest.  Useful Websites https://www.bhs.com/new-in/all-offers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Home_Stores Lace top https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/800314210839? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/298297833906?_trkparm Please share links to your favourite posts.

  Dress of the Day by Angela Lansbury. But also for the evening. Dress rehearsal for a one act play in which I play a tree-hugging type. So I am wearing peaceful green and white.  The long white dress White is not a colour I like to wear when eating, unless I have a large white napkin or waterproof apron. However, these dresses are made of synthetic material and dry fast. The pattern is dragonfly.  The green colour is very restful. Smart yet casual. Floaty and light, comfortable, The green goes well with my blonde hair. If you don't have blonde hair, a pale yellow scarf or hat or bandanna or headband would create the same effect. The Orange Necklace  The orange necklace is made up of strings of orange beads, with a section of  black and white beads. It adds a splash of colour to the more neutral pale green. |My husband bought it at an airport shop in Indonesia. I asked him which airport and which shop. When I looked up orange necklace on the internet I discovere...

 Red and White Dress Quick to pull on stretcy red snd white dress. I have three similar in reds and oranges, one in turquoise. The red jacket has no ties. Less to dangle and get in the way. I could use a small brooch or one of those safety pin style brooches with fake pearls. Red Sandals Worn with black socks. Please share links to your favourite posts.

A bright eye-'catching tie, so striking that you hardly notice the pale pink shirt. Diagonal stripes. This tie got lots of compliments. The tie is from Samuel Windsor. Regrettably no longer in business. Please share links to your favourite posts.

  I bought a scarf, second hand, pre-loved, whatever you want to call it, which had the label 100%. But 100% what? It felt soft. But not quite as soft as silk. I had hoped for silk. Was it a good modern imitation? I tried googling lists of words for silk in all languages. It was not silk. \What was the language?  It looked like Russian. I worked out from another Russian word that the first letter was L.   What was the E with the two dots? The e pronounced like ay. The last letter looking like an H was N.  Lane/  The French for wool is laine. The word was not Russian for wool. I had invited a friend to lunch with me at a restaurant. I showed her the scarf. She suggested linen. That sounded like the letters L A for ay, N. But the scarf did not feel thick and heavy and tightly woven, like linen suits which are stiff, resembling denim jeans. Linen. An image translate app gave me the answer. However, a search for the Russian word for linen produced a match. So d...
