That gorgeous green dress, enhanced by a green mother of pearl necklace. Post 457

The Green Dress
The green dress had no brand label. However, the washing instruction says: Made in the UK. 100% polyester Lining 100% polyester. Size 16. When you wash it, it dries quickly.

Red Belt
This time I wore a red belt, red sandals, to go with my red lipstick, all lively red. I intended this to contrast with other outfits based on the almost monochrome, neat all-green dress, featuring a green belt and brown shoes.

Green Necklace & Ring
The necklace which I have called green mother of pearl is probably abalone from New Zealand. 

I added a green ring. 

White Nail varnish
My nail varnish is white which makes a change from red. I put it on the night before to be sure of being ready..
It comes from Tesco in London, England.  

Useful Websites
You can buy cheap abalone ear-rings, and one size rings, on Shein for under 5 dollars. Just type abalone in Google and see what comes up.

Blue H & M Dress, dress of the day 393

Image
  Angela Lansbury wearing a blue background dress from H &M. Photo by Trevor Sharot. The Blue H & M Dress Blue background dress has a white pattern. Blues are hard to match. But I had a white blouse, so I wore this. On the internet and on Facebook you can see lots of videos of how to tie a scarf, but mine is simply hanging, which partly obscures the cleavage.  Cleavage cover I had a choice. To insert a dickey or false front, also called a removable or detachable collar. I have one or two which are plain white.  The alternative which saves hunting for a matching dickey without distracting collar colours and embrodiery, is simply to add a fastening. I decided that a snap or press stud fastener in small size is qhich to fasten and unlikely to pull apart (as opposed to hook and eye. I like velcro but it can scratch your skin, so the press stud was the right andwer. You have to get the two sides exactly measured up from the point of the V neck otherwide you end up with...

Period pants from Savida. Pants, UK. In the USA they would be called underpants. They come in two colours, black or dark blue with a mottled effect. They are triple layer. Could be useful for hiking and travelling. Or when you have a cough.  A pack of three full briefs for fifteen pounds. I then googled period pants and found lots of results.  Marks Marks & Spencer do a pack of three containing three different colours, black, white and pink, for sixteen pounds.  They also do different absorbencies. The options range though light, heavy, and extra heavy. And more styles, such as pantaloon style, like short tight shorts coming half way down your thighs.

Marks & Spencer coat reversed Post 409

  Angela Lansbury wearing a black Marks & Spencer coat reversed. Photo by Trevor Sharot. The magenta lining was such a pretty colour that I preferred it to the black outside. If a coat has a label at the neck which shows, or one on the side seam, you could either cut it off or cover it with black ribbon sewn on. Some people, such as the royal family, are reputed to always include a funeral outfit in their packing in case it is needed. (I always pack a swimsuit, so as not to miss out, and an evening outfit, in case I get invited to a party or wedding or smart restaurant for dinner.) An alternative is to have a reversible coat or jacket. Useful Websites https://www.marksandspencer.com/ Please share links to your favourite posts.
