Dress 156 In the Pink with Pink August Silk and Why Buy Cat Ear Headphones?

Pink camisole by August Silk. (See post on brands.) August Silk is an American based company. I looked at the garment and wondered, is this silk? The company started producing clothes in washable silk but now sells other fabrics.

Pink Silk Scarf

The scarf is very thin. I tied it together under the neck so it didn't slip off. Then I considered sewing the ends together to make a cape or sleeves. No need. I simply knotted the corners together. Result, a useful top which stayed in place and kept me covered so I was not chilled under air conditioning.

Cat Ear headphones

I was looking for headphones and saw these amusing cat ear headphones. They look amusing when we take group photos for online meetings of Toastmasters International clubs - I am a member of four club based in Singapore and one in the UK.

Big over the head earphones can feel heavy. Wireless ones are useful if you want to stand up to speak to show gestures. You need a built in microphone if you want stand up, so that your face does not disappear when you are standing back from the microphone built into your laptop or Ipad or tablet or mobile phone.

Pearl brooches on hat paired with M & S sweater with pearls. Dress Post 686 by Angela Lansbury

    Sweater embroidered with mock pearls matches my hat pinned with mock pearl brooches.  I had never worn this pale grey sweater  I thought pale grey was a boring colour and always opted for something brighter such as royal blue or bight red. However, as I re-folded warm winter tops to fit them into my crammed dresser unit shelves, this fell out. Was the universe sending me a message?  I thought, I don't remember ever wearing it.  I must wear it once. Just for a change.  Snow is falling outside in London. Now is its hour. I looked  at the decoration. Sequins! I had been searching for sequins to wear at New Year. This thick sweater would not match my red solid sequin evening skirt. However, it would match my knitted hat, which bore brooches with mock pearls. The Grey Marl Sweater M & S Collection. Size 14. a mixture of four fabrics, cotton.  As I had anticipated, the garment had pinned inside some spare sequins and pearls and rhinestones....

Stripey Red & White Socks, thigh high, and tights - outfit 679 by Angela Lansbury

Image
  I bought a pair of knee high red and white stripe socks in St Luke's charity shop. At one pound or under, you can't lose much. (Their charity fundraising shops are in NW London in Hatch End, Harrow Weald and elsewhere.) Why did I buy the long socks, in hard to match, garish, childish, stripes - after hesitation and consideration? The Advantages Of Long Socks The  length was attractive, at this time of year. I often need long socks under a midi skirt. For warmth in winter. And not to show bit of bare legs above socks. To co-ordinate colours. Advantages and Disadvantages of Red and White Stripes I like red. It's fun. White can show dirt quickly.  Red and white is a bit restrictive. It will clash with patterns, only go with plain reds and whites. But under a table at dinner or on Zoom nobody else will notice. Nor will I. I will only feel them. If the socks are too tight, you might feel uncomfortable. At night, when you take them off, you might see red indentation lines acr...
