Dress Of The Day with Angela

 Get lots of complimenrs. Sahara Dresses Ladies who wear Sahara dresses are delighted to report they get lots of compliments. Dresses With Pockets What's is special about Sahara dresses, from the wearer's point of view? Two ladies at lunch sitting beside each other, discovered they were both wearing Sahara dresses. Dresses with pockets. Pockets are useful to the user. Pockets can take a hanky. But even when empty, pockets are a place to put your hands. Hands Off The Table In England We discussed hands on the table. In England you don't put elbows on the table, nor your hands. You might be tempted to extend your arm. Why not. Firstly you obstruct the view of the VIP at the head of the table, their speech, or the person toasting them. You exclude the person on your right if your right arm is on the table and you are half turned with your back to the person on your right. You don't include them with your eyes, or see if they open their mouth, trying to speak and join in.  ...

  I asked my husband, 'Does it matter that I'm lopsided?' He replied, 'Only to you. Everyone is lopsided .'

 Multi-colour pearls Very classy. Different. The wearer said she could not remember where they came from. Pearls, and mock pearls, can be the classic white, dark shiny grey, pale silvery grey, or dark pink. She was wearing matching single pearl ear-rings. A single one colour pearl. You can also buy ear rings in drop styles with pearls of two contrasting colours. Years ago, the late nineteen sixties, on a student trip to Japan, I bought a grey pearl bracelet on sale. At that time grey pearls were second class and unwanted by buyers, and cost less. Forty years later, the grey pearls were prized for being different, exclusive, and cost more. Then along came triple colours. Instead of boring plain white. A classic necklace can be all pearls evenly matched in size. Or very slightly different, from the smallest at the clasp, each slightly, imperceptibly different, with the largest hanging down at the centre Budget Buys In Necklaces If your heart is set on multicolour spherical bead neckl...

  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...
