The Jacket has been in previous posts.
Black Jacket with white collar - mystery label

Black Tights
I have the choice of two styles of tights. Solid black with an integrated foot. That means the ankle is covered. No gap above the boots visible with a midi skirt when standing nor with a maxi skirt when sitting with legs crossed. This pair is warmer when travelling.

Another pair ends at the ankles with fancy lace. This is my best pair. For evenings, dinners, restaurants, special occasions.

Red and black boots
I get lots of compliments.

Coast dress
The Coast dress is an easy to wear, quick to put on wrap around dress. The label says it's silk.
For a change, I have covered the top of the Coast dress with a black top. 

I thought two patterns above the waist was too busy. In the old days we would have said that two different patterns alongside each other clashed. Even in one outfit, separated by something plain, they clashed. 

Which version do you prefer? Red top, black top, or the dress au naturel?

Multi-colour Pearls, Necklace Prices & Wish Lists. Dress of the day 838 by Angela Lansbury.

 Multi-colour pearls Very classy. Different. The wearer said she could not remember where they came from. Pearls, and mock pearls, can be the classic white, dark shiny grey, pale silvery grey, or dark pink. She was wearing matching single pearl ear-rings. A single one colour pearl. You can also buy ear rings in drop styles with pearls of two contrasting colours. Years ago, the late nineteen sixties, on a student trip to Japan, I bought a grey pearl bracelet on sale. At that time grey pearls were second class and unwanted by buyers, and cost less. Forty years later, the grey pearls were prized for being different, exclusive, and cost more. Then along came triple colours. Instead of boring plain white. A classic necklace can be all pearls evenly matched in size. Or very slightly different, from the smallest at the clasp, each slightly, imperceptibly different, with the largest hanging down at the centre Budget Buys In Necklaces If your heart is set on multicolour spherical bead neckl...

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....
