Dress Of The Day with Angela

 What do your posts say? Is there a consistent message? Who are you aiming at? Let's look at two pictures of me. One shows me with a glass of Prosecco. If I am reminding myself of what to order, that is fine. I have another glass of a pint of water melon juice. This has entirely different messages.

Red roses with white, navy background, plus pale blue parts. Blue scarf top with flat blue buttons linking the two halves. Photo by Angela Lansbury. Copyright.
