Storage of Hair bows 574. Pink, black, white, which colours for different professions or times of day or occasions?

The pocket storage is from Diaso, from the Disney Princess range.

Guess Faith's favourite colour? Pink.

Pink is the modern colour for girls. Pink for girls and blue for boys. I read that the Victorians originally used the reverse colours. 

Previously, pink was considered unsuitable for men. Then it became trendy.

Queen Victoria made white wedding dresses popular. But the Chinese think red is lucky. 

The Indians wear white for purity when burying the dead. They, too, would opt for a bright colour instead.

Is pink the colour for romance, hearts for single hopeful women, dates for the single and date nights for the married.


The Black Dress For Evenings and Businesslike Black In Daytime

At one time the little black dress was de rigeur for evening wear. It was considered elegant, uncluttered, simple, sophisticated.

What about daytime? Work?

Would black and white look businesslike? Would black and white be more suitable for lawyers in court, and musicians in an orchestra?

Is black suitable for Western funerals? Or should you specify colours to relieve the gloom of mourners and celebrate the  deceased persons' happy or humorous life.

Yellow is the colour of safety wear. Yellow can be seen at a distance. 

Red, with green and white, is the colour of Santa Claus and Christmas. It brightens up a snowy white landscape.

Ski wear if brightly coloured, for safety.  A brightly coloured skier is easier to see and avoid on the ski slopes as you hurtle downwards. By wearing bright colours, you can more easily be found in a snow storm, accident, or avalanche.

Blue is a Jewish colour.

Green is a Muslim colour.

The army wears camouflage colours.

Where can you buy pockets? Notions counters and shops. Storage shops. Household goods shops. IKEA - Disney Princess line in pink. Hanging storage items with pockets are sold for storing shoes, whatever you fancy.

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

Image
  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...

CLOTHES & COSMETICS 1 A swimsuit and swimhat. 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...
