Dress Of The Day with Angela

  I loved the heels on these shoes. The wearer said they were shu shoe. She did not buy the online but in a shop. Did she mean Jimmy Choos shoes?  What did I like about them? The combination of gold and black, to go with a little black dress, and gold or gold colour jewellery and accessories. And the shape, the three balls. Vertical. High heels. You might have to be helped down the steps to a wine cellar. Also from the dining room to the downstairs ladies toilet - but Waddesdon had a big handicapped toilet on the ground floor. When I searched I could not find them. So I asked Gemini. The results came up with heels described as stacked. When I used that word, I was offered lots of choices. Very high. Totally impractical. For me.  But this lady was happy with her heels. She was tall and slim, with short hair. She stood beside her husband with a pose. She had one hand on her hip and her head turned towards the protruding elbow. That attracted my attention. Then I looked her ...

  Black tie dinner. I was wearing a partially black and red outfit, but when I heard the words black tie I thought, the smartest clothes you have, good enough to wear for a wedding. Black Jacket With red. The wide shoulders were eighties style. Vintage. The black scarf has gold colour inserts. The black skirt is silk with pearly buttons. The sandals are gold.

  In the sunny summer I wore white with pretty pink or vibrant red dresses and jacket outfits. No that it is September and autumn in the northern hemisphere I look right in autumn colours. Orange, olive green and black. The label says XXL, polyester, made in China. Three quarter sleeves, below the elbow. I was wondering about adding something to lengthen the sleeve for winter. Maybe cut the black sleeves off a tee-shirt whose pattern I don't like. I could look for a black tee shirt or a black shirt with cuffs. I could sew it on like a lining.  No name on the label but must be from Temu. I bought several of these dress and jacket sets in the summer

  Silver nail polish on nails. Photo by Angela Lansbury. I love red nail varnish.  Why not wear it every day? It chips. It does not go with orange nor pink. It probably does no good to your nails. Co-ordinating Colours Of Clothes & Nail Varnish Regarding co-ordinating, I used to take a lot of travel weekends away. I had a small suitcase and stuck to a simple colour scheme of red, black and white. Then I got tired of constant red clothes. My colleagues complained that I was always wearing red. I switched to oranges and pinks. But that meant my orange varnish clashed. Advantages of White Nail Varnish For practicality, I started wearing white nail varnish. White went with everything, red outfits, pink, orange. No clash. Recently I admired a friend's colour scheme of turquoise and silver. She wore silver nail varrnish. Like my white, it went with everything. But also with silver jewellery. I looked in local shops and supermarkets and pharmacies for silver nail polish. No luck....
