Dress Of The Day with Angela

  Angela Lansbury wearing caftan at speech contest. Colourful Caftan The colours of this caftan are a white background with pale pink vertical edging, and curved darker pink, and touches of black and grey. Summery sunny white and warm pink. The black leaves suggest flowers.  For a speech contest I wore a colourful caftan over my warmer, winter clothes. My idea was to create a suitable costume to fit my subject which was my honeymoon in Morocco. Therefore, something summery. The White Blouse I actually started with a white blouse, thinking of weddings requiring all white, because my opening anecdote was about my honeymoon.  The white blouse covers my neck and forearms. It fills in the V-neck elegantly. No gaps, bra straps, lopt-sided views of a vest. It adds elegance to the simple caftan with more shiny silky look, and the added intricacy of the pleating.

Black is more flattering to fuller figures. 3 Try camouflage. Try wearing a dark skirt pulled up over the tummy area. I wore about this top before in post 438. This is what I said. The Jumper - Cinzano The label says Cinzano Designer Collection. It has a style number DK143. Yes, it is the same brand as the drink, not a fake or copy, but from the 1980s. A web search produces Cinzano objects related to the drink, such as ash trays or angular bowls, and tee-shirt featuring the Cinzano drinks brand pop up on Redbubble.  White St...

Sher in sheer delight white outfit, with boyfriend Kit. Photo by Angela Lansbury. Copyright.  New Zealand Dress Code New Zealanders wear shorts and short sleeved-shirts in their summer, the last of which is February when the schools resume. New Zealanders don't wear short sleeves and shorts only at lunch time. They go out to to utdoor restaurants dressed like that, too. Jandals and Flip-Flops - The Advantages Kit is wearing what the British call flip-flops. The New Zealanders call them jandals, short for Japnese sandals.  We think of flip-flops as footwear suitable for being almost barefoot on the beach. Shake out sand. Wash them off. When walking along the shore you can take them off in a hurry to paddle - and they are light to carry. They protect your soles from sharp rocks and stings. But leave you free to enjoy the sunshine and freedom from enclosure or rubbing. You can wiggle your toes.  Put them on quickly for scorching hot sand, or rough paths. Or bars and restaura...
