Ear-rings to match lace collar with glass beads - how to match accessories and fix fly away hair. 2017c (Selfie, head and shoulders.)

 


Why Add Ear-rings?
Do the ear-rings complement and complete the outfit? Or do they distract?

I thought they completed the outfit perfectly. You have to look in the mirror and keep trying accessories, removing them, replacing them, until you get the effect which makes you feel good and happy and smiling.

Use Your Mirror

The effect when you are seated showing only your shoulders and neckline and cleavage on Zoom or in a head and shoulders portrait is not the same as when you are standing. To see the effect of the selfie, your camera is your own mirror.

Why Add A Necklace?

Does the red and black necklace distract? Maybe. I wore it because with a full length picture the red picked up the red colour of the underskirt and red evening shoes which have glass sparkles. The bulky red necklace also covered the cleavage.

Hope for Fly Away Hair - Moisturizers

My skin has dried out and sagged on my face and my hair has dried and become fly-away. The cure for fly-away hair is conditioner. Ideally, have a shower and wash your hair and add conditioner. If you don't have the time or the energy, just spread some conditioner on the drying ends of your hair.

In a hotel without conditioner, you could use your own hand cream or face cream. If you are in a hotel bedroom. Or carry moisturising hand cream in your handbag. Or use moisturising hand cream in an upmarket ladies toilet in a hotel or restaurant. 

How To Hide - Under Hats

You can also tuck fly away hair into an elastic band or scrunchie as a pony tail at the back. Or hold it in place under a bandanna. Or tuck it into a baseball cap with a neck attachment. Hold it with a hair grip, hair clip, or decorative hair comb.

Or hide it under a hat. You could pin at back and then add the hat. Or put on the hat. Use your forefinger or a comb to sweep or tuck in the stray ends. 

Wigs?

As a last resort, use a wig.

How to repair a torn Mark & Spencer slip and make the hem wider, Post 294

Image
What is this? My repair.  I have a lovely shiny, smart black slip, from Marks & Spencers. It has a slit with pretty lace edging.  But it is slightly tight. It tore from the top of the slit, diagonally.  I looked for another slip. The ones I found onlin were twice the price and not in a satiny fabric. I wore it torn. I repaired it several times. It tore again.  I gave up. I wore it torn. Nobody sees. My husband saw. He complained. What could I do? It is useless to keep stitching it. It just tears again. I needed a new solution. I thought of adding a godet, a triangle of black fabric. I did not have anything to match. tht doesn't matter a godet is often a contrasting material. But that's when you have several godets and they look deliberate. I hunted in my sewing box. Boxes. All I had was teeny scraps of cloth in unsuitable fabrics. And ribbons. I thought about what I could do with the ribbons. They were not wide enough. But I could sew one each side of the slit. t...

Blue H & M Dress, dress of the day 393

  Angela Lansbury wearing a blue background dress from H &M. Photo by Trevor Sharot. The Blue H & M Dress Blue background dress has a white pattern. Blues are hard to match. But I had a white blouse, so I wore this. On the internet and on Facebook you can see lots of videos of how to tie a scarf, but mine is simply hanging, which partly obscures the cleavage.  Cleavage cover I had a choice. To insert a dickey or false front, also called a removable or detachable collar. I have one or two which are plain white.  The alternative which saves hunting for a matching dickey without distracting collar colours and embrodiery, is simply to add a fastening. I decided that a snap or press stud fastener in small size is qhich to fasten and unlikely to pull apart (as opposed to hook and eye. I like velcro but it can scratch your skin, so the press stud was the right andwer. You have to get the two sides exactly measured up from the point of the V neck otherwide you end up with...

Period Pants from Marks & Spencer & More, post 345

Image
Period pants from Savida. Pants, UK. In the USA they would be called underpants. They come in two colours, black or dark blue with a mottled effect. They are triple layer. Could be useful for hiking and travelling. Or when you have a cough.  A pack of three full briefs for fifteen pounds. I then googled period pants and found lots of results.  Marks Marks & Spencer do a pack of three containing three different colours, black, white and pink, for sixteen pounds.  They also do different absorbencies. The options range though light, heavy, and extra heavy. And more styles, such as pantaloon style, like short tight shorts coming half way down your thighs. You can also buy leakproof swimwear with the brand name WUKA. Wikipedia has useful worldwide reviews of practices. Wiki picture. Useful search words (alphabetically):  A-D absorbent, absorbency adult diapers briefs,  cloth menstrual pads diapers E-K full briefs,  heavy absorbency,  heavy flow,  i...
