Everyday Blue masks - blue to match your outfit

I have seen these concertina masks mostly in blue, sometimes in white - or the white side worn outwards, and in pink. If you cannot get a mask to match your outfit, try making your outfit match your mask. Pale denim, for example.

I looked for a blue to match an everyday mask.

I shall pack the blue matching outfits for my next trip.  Why would you wear a blue basic mask,  if you already have one? Why take a free mask if you already have a fabric mask?
1 So that you have a spare to use if you washed your mask and it is still damp.
2 In order to have a spare in case you lose it, drop it in the dirt, or can't find it in a hurry.
3 To have a spare to offer somebody else if the elastic on their ear elastic pulls out.
4 To have a spare to offer somebody without one who arrives at a venue requiring masks.
5 To have a spare in your pocket if you leave home or your hotel in a hurry and suddenly reach a place with a guard insisting on it. 
6 If you leave a venue in a hurry, such as a fire alarm in a restaurant or mall, and become separated from your handbag or jacket containing your mask, it is handy to have a spare in a pocket or neck pouch.

 Finally, to go with a blue outfit, when your other masks are black or red. If you cannot find a blue garment to match a blue mask, white works well. The white goes with the white elastic straps and the white top and lower border.

If you have blue eyes, you might wear blue clothes and a mask to match. As a child, because I was blue eyed my mother always dressed me in blue. Blue enhances the colour of your eyes. Sometimes your eyes slightly reflect the colour of your surroundings. I was very tired of wearing blue and perhaps as a reaction to that instintively go for red, any other colour. However, blue suits me. The blue does not only suit my eye colour, it suits my complexion. if I hold my hand agains a colour I can see immediately that some colours look better. I can hold my hands agains pictures of garments in different colours on the internet in on screen catalogues or on Amazon and ebay and other websites.

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

  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...

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...
