Dress of the day 224. Curry colour dress with black jacket and brown shoes: Josef Seibel sandals

This was the brown dress worn with a white jacket which I changed to a black jacket because I would be eating curry at an Indian restaurant.

I was ready for a meal out at Muthu's Curry restaurant. Dress in brown, which I had put out the night before. I added sensible brown sandals for walking from the MRT station Little India to the restaurant, Muthu's Curry. I was glad we went out. Later we had to order curry via a delivery service. In Singapore that could be by foodpanda or ubereats. 

Brown Sandals

The brown sandals are by Josef Seibel, a German company. I have bought second hand shoes on ebay in the UK. You can also buy new.

Next I looked for a blouse to cover my arms. Why? Mosquitos during a walk outdoors. Indoors possibly cold air conditioning.

Gold and Multi-colour Evening Blouse By Asos

Asos, UK size 10, EU 38, US 6.

Black collar and black upper arm with black buttons. Colours:red, orange, pink, purple, grey, black, all semi transparent, with opaque (like paint) gold. Made in India. 100 per cent polyester.

8 front buttons, plus one on each cuff. No spare buttons. two-hole shiny flat buttons. The front centre buttonholes and buttons are concealed behind a double pleated plaquet.

Gosh - I've had this garment for ages, yet until I came to type up the information for you, I had never noticed the concealed front over the buttons, nor the unusual design of the sleeve.

The jackets are cape blazers which show the front of the sleeves of the blouse.

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...

CLOTHES & COSMETICS 1 A swimsuit and swimhat. 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...
