Happy Halloween with Pumpkin Orange Parasol and Top, black bats headband and broomstick, Dress of the day 278.


 Happy Halloween.  Pumpkin Orange Parasol and top. A shady Lady. Photo by Trevor Sharot.


Black Bats Halloween headband from London, UK. 

A headband is really handy. It is small enough to go inside a bag so you don't have to travel in your outfit. It shows when you are online in portrait view. I bought  this handy headband in Waitrose. 

For another photo of an outfit featuring a view of the Halloween headband, see dress of the day 270.


'Pumpkin Orange' Top 

The orange top comes from Next. The size is 12, the UK equivalent to European size 40.  

The washing label says, Hand wash inside out. Iron on the reverse. 

The fabric is 96% viscose, and 4% elastane, which gives it the comfortable stretch, and a one size stretches to fit all or most capability. The panel across the shoulders and top back is 100% polyester,

The top is part of a 2 part set, possibly pyjamas,  made in China. I think I have only one part of the two part set, and bought it cheaply in the sale.


That Black Skirt's Secrets 

The black diy converted skirt is made from slit trousers - Americans say pants. In other posts I have described cutting trousers to make long skirts. 

The brand name is uni qlo. Size medium. 100% rayon. 

It was second hand and the elastic is starting to go. But it was good enough to wear at meal times and sitting all day at the computer.


Black Half Slip With Lace 

100% nylon. Made in England.


Pumpkin Orange Paper Parasol

Bought online. From China. I already had a pink paper parasol, and was so pleased with the way it looked in photos that I bought an orange one. 


Pumpkin Orange Shoes

All the better for kicking imaginary ghosts. Or imaginary crocodiles. Synthetic clogs from Crocs, bought from London, UK, but sold worldwide. Bought online in end of summer season sale in 2021.


Orange YSL Listick

Bought at Heathrow Airport, London, Duty free departure side. About twenty five or twenty seven pounds. It would have cost me about thirty five or forty five, depending on location, in Singapore. See my earlier post on lipsticks.


Orange Nail Varnish

I was not wearing nail varnish when the photo was taken, but sat down to add the finishing touch. The brand is Rimmel London. The colour is Coralicious 430. 60 seconds super shine. 

The bottle is small. There was a time when I would have opted for bigger bottles which offered better value for money. But now a small bottle suits me. Less size, space and weight, to carry around in a handbag for touching up chips or when your nails grow, making it last longer with a second coat of coloured varnish.

Welcome Mat

The doormat has a flamingo pattern with the word Welcome. From IKEA.
