Coral Pink Top
The coral pink vintage top is by Comfy clothes of the UK
This coral pink top was the anchor piece or starting point of the outfit. I knew it would be hard to match up the coral pink so I opted for accessories and co-ordinating clothes in white.

White Skirt 
The white skirt is a lace hemmed Laura Ashley slip. The fabric is cool and the loose style is comfortable. Easy to walk in. 

White Jacket
The white cape blazer is by Missguided. The open-front jacket sleeves show the sleeves of the coral top. The vertical lines help me look taller.

White Necklace And Ear-rings
I keep this matching set together. I have a two compartment jewellery case for costume jewellery, with one section for white items. No longer do I hunt around trying to match up a necklace and ear-rings. I find it better to have one set ready when rushing out, rather than hunting for a new combination.

The ear-rings are clip-on. I do not have pierced ears. 

White Toe-Post Shoes
The white toe-post shoes are cool in summer and in the tropics. They look summery. Nothing around the toes to rub. When you sit at a dining table or desk you can lift your heels out of the shoe to feel cool.

The heel is a transparent globe. This gives you a little height. More elegant than the usual white flip flops (which Australians call thongs.)

The size is 38. I am 37. But with open toes you can slide your feet forwards. 

White Shoes
White is not suitable for outdoors. Poe-post in puddles in the rain?
White sneakers would be better. Some people dare to wash them in a washing machine (if the washing instructions suggest this is ok). Toothepaste is another possible remedy for restoring white. I used to restore black shoes with black shoe paint. White shoe pain can restore white shoes.

However, these shoes are fine for indoors. Just wear them for dinner at home. And sitting under a desk. 

White Nail Varnish
I have white nail varnish on my hands. Matching white nail varnish is perfect on toenails when wearing open-toed shoes or sandals.

I had considered wearing a cream colour baseball hat. But neighter the style nor the colour co0rdinated. Fortunately I had enough white clothes and accessories to create a co-ordinated look.

White Umbrella
Completes the look.

If you want a white cape blazer, there are many online. I prefer those by Mango and Missguided which have a lining. When shopping look for lining and read the reviews from other buyers.

How to repair a torn Mark & Spencer slip and make the hem wider, Post 294

Image
What is this? My repair.  I have a lovely shiny, smart black slip, from Marks & Spencers. It has a slit with pretty lace edging.  But it is slightly tight. It tore from the top of the slit, diagonally.  I looked for another slip. The ones I found onlin were twice the price and not in a satiny fabric. I wore it torn. I repaired it several times. It tore again.  I gave up. I wore it torn. Nobody sees. My husband saw. He complained. What could I do? It is useless to keep stitching it. It just tears again. I needed a new solution. I thought of adding a godet, a triangle of black fabric. I did not have anything to match. tht doesn't matter a godet is often a contrasting material. But that's when you have several godets and they look deliberate. I hunted in my sewing box. Boxes. All I had was teeny scraps of cloth in unsuitable fabrics. And ribbons. I thought about what I could do with the ribbons. They were not wide enough. But I could sew one each side of the slit. t...

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 Marks & Spencer & More, post 345

Image
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. You can also buy leakproof swimwear with the brand name WUKA. Wikipedia has useful worldwide reviews of practices. Wiki picture. Useful search words (alphabetically):  A-D absorbent, absorbency adult diapers briefs,  cloth menstrual pads diapers E-K full briefs,  heavy absorbency,  heavy flow,  i...
