Indigo Moon Brown & Green Jacket Paired with green Indigo Moon skirt outfit number 487

I bought these two items from the same label separately and paired them up. I found many Indigo Moon jackets and tops on ebay. Many from the UK, several from the USA. 

Bold Bids For Several Skirts
I had two Indigo Moon jackets and I wanted skirts to match. I saw three skirts, two red, one green. I hoped to win one of them. As the bidding for all ended the same day, I had no chance of waiting for the bidding on one to end before bidding on a second if I failed to secure the first.

The green skirt arrived with two red skirts, same label. I had bid on all three which had low prices. I was pleasantly surprised, pleased to win all three. The price of all three together wasn't so bad. However, add in the postage on three items, the sum was no longer small.

Pleasing Postage Refund
I did not realise until all three arrived in the same packet that they were all from the same seller. I saw I had been sent a refund, which was because the postage for the three was less than for three sent separately. 

Reasons For Refunds
I blinked at that. For a second I thought the refund was because the seller had withdrawn the item from sale. Once that happened to me when the seller could not find the item, and though her husband had taken it to a charity shop. On another occasion a seller claimed that the item had been posted to the wrong person by mistake so it was no longer available.

When I realised the refund was for the postage, not a cancelled sale, I was happy.

Matching Options
When I undid the package. the two red skirts looked the same but the designs were totally different. I wear red a lot so I was sure to get use from them. But they need to be matched to plain tops. 

Clashing Patterns
My existing two brown jackets from Indigo Moon look wrong with the two red skirts. Wrong background colour. No matching. The patterns were over-busy and confusing to the eye and mind, having two totally different total patterns, and stitch shape within each embroidery, and numbers, sizes, and colours of arrangements of sequins and bead assortments. 

Delightful Designs
I suppose that is why you can never get enough on some favourite labels. Every garment is different. A new surprise and delight.

Match Made On Earth
The surprise was that the green background of the heavy cotton skirt matched up with a tiny amount of green embroidery on the brown background of the heavy cotton jacket.

I finally had a matching set of Indigo Moon garments. 

Online I found on ebay 13 Indigo Moon sets, 12 from the USA, prices from about ten pounds, mostly twenty to forty pounds, rising to over one hundred,  with the postage to the UK about 30 pounds. If you live in the USA, or are visiting there, or your family are visitng there, you might be abe to save on postage.

Blue H & M Dress, dress of the day 393

  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. You can also buy leakproof swimwear with the brand name WUKA. Wikipedia has useful worldwide reviews of practices. Wiki picture.

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.
