Dress Of The Day with Angela

  Angela Lansbury in Canary Yellow caftan and yellow turban. Dress of the day, Outfit Sunshinre Yellow Hat 261.Photo by Trevor Sharot. I love this hat. Here it is in yellow. I matched it with a short yellow caftan. My arms are outspread so you can see the shape. the yellow in the hat draws attention back from the dress and up to my face. The yellow hat is very effective online at meetings.  I wanted to re-order the hat in other colours. COLOUR CHOICE OF HATS  Which colour? White might get dirty. Black would be most useful.

But the necklaces and pendants looked wrong against patterns. The jewellery distracted from the fabric pattern. The fabric pattern distracted from the jewellery. I realized that stat...

The company might have been Color Me Beautiful.  After paying the booking fee, probably through the American women's association attached to the American Club, or the British Club, or the Australian Club, I recall a group of ladies sitting around a table with the trainer. I now understand that a company from the Americas trained trainers who had a franchise. She got us to hold up scarves of our own and hers, against our faces, and asked everybody to say which colours suited which person. We also held the colours against our hands, the backs of our hands, our forearms and our inside wrists. I suited bright colours, summer colours. Royal blue, Fuschia, emerald green, magenta, bright, shiny. I think that the spring colours were gentle pastels, pale pink, baby blue, lavendar. The autumn colours were heavily dark but matt and muted, muddy, earthy, russet rusty brown, olive green, beige. The winter colours were pale and palid, or dar...
