Red outfit For a Red Wine Tasting Evening, dress of the night post 501

I wore a black top with red sleeves, an Anthony Skicari top, and a red Indigo Moon skirt, both in red rather than the white Anthony Sicari top I first selected. Why? Because my evening out was a wine tasting and I did not want red wine to stain my top, nor the skirt.

The red and black combination colour of the top was easy for me to co-ordinate with other clothing items and accessories. 

The Red Skirt
Indigo Moon label red skirt. Has embroidery. No pockets. The thick fabric is warm for mid-season. Although Indigo Moon is a vintage label it is easy to find. I saw twenty or more Indigo Moon skirts, jackets, and complete suits were are available on ebay.

Long Red Jacket
The red cape jacket with open sleeves has the label Be Jealous. I think the open sleeves are elegant. But you have to beware of it slipping off your shoulders. Especially if you buy a large size, which I do in the hope of added length and not finding it too tight to be comfortable. 

Why Buy Larger Size Clothes?
You can often check the length of a garment in the various sizes. I tend to forget to click on the down arrow which shows more details. Sometimes the clothes are longer in the larger sizes and because they use more fabric the price of larger sizes is higher. Occasionally I buy a large size because it appears in a sale. It is cheap because nobody has bought it so they want to get rid of it to clear physical clutter and clutter on the webspage.

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.
