Later I bought a swimsuit with an attached hood. 2 I always had one tank top in case it turned sunny, or I had a stopover somewhere warm. 3 A brimmed hat or baseball cap. 4 A thermal vest, scarf and gloves for chilly nights, air conditioning, breezy boat trips, or trips to another continent with reverse seasons. 5 A couple of scarves, one with gold to convert a plain black or white tee-shirt into an evening out...

Angela Lansbury wearing turquoise and red and orange dress and matching turquoise jacket from Temu, bought March 2026. Photo by Trevor Sharot. Why Buy A Matching Dress and Jacket Or Coat? I wanted another dress like the matching dress and jacket which I wore on holiday last year, 2025. I had ended up wearing it three nights in a row. It was so easy to just have a matching set, it looked neat and elegant. Dress from Shein / on Ebay. Worn in summer 2025. V neck dress. I needed another. I made a mistake I was looking for a lime, emerald or pistacchio green dress and jacket outfit on Temu.   The Advantage Of These Colours  Blue matches and compliments as well as compliments my eye colour, which is a murky blue. My eyes slightly reflect a bright blue, so they look bluer, better. Red clothes and accessories make me happy. They are cheerful. They co-ordinate with my lipstick and shoes and rouge.  The Spelling of Pistacchio? The Italian spelling is pistacchio. The English sp...

Why Are People In Vietnam Reading My Blog - On Buying, Matching And Altering Clothes? Post 734.

The readership of my blog varies, from zero for a post in the first five seconds after I have written it, to more than 500 by the end of the day. My travel blog got more yesterday, 8,725 in one day for a post on the Canary islands. I can click on the statistics to see which days I got more readers and for what subjects.  But my question is, who is reading my blog? It is in English, although anybody can use Google translate. But why would they?  When I first started writing, I expected to get only readers in London, England, who shopped in my local shops, and travelled to similar places. Then I found that |American readers outnumbered the British readers. I was surprised. My husband, who is a statistician, said the obvious answer was that there are more English speaking readers in the USA.  Today, in March 2026, I tried asking AI why I got more readers for my blog on clothes which mentioned clothes from Temu. My son, who works in Google analytics, SEO - search engine optim...
