Warm Winter White Jumper Post 503

 


I was very happy wearing my warm white jumper all day. However, in the evening I stood up and took a photo. What did I find
1 Take photos of yourself. I often hear people protest, I don't like myself in photos. I don't look good in photos. Full length photos reveal the truth, what you look like to other people. Warts and all, as the popular saying goes.
I see from this photo
1 I have put on weight on holiday and need to lose weight.
2 White is revealing. 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 Stuff And White Fluff

 I stopped wearing fluffy white jumpers a couple of seasons ago, because one of my jumpers was making it hard for me to breathe and making me sneeze. Apart from the discomfort, I thought, that can't be good for my dear little lungs. However, with the windows wide open, wearing boots, all wrapped, I am now managing to wear fluffy jumpers for a short time.

Searching for Cinzano Collection

For vintage clothes with the Cinzano brand, sources I found include Ebay, Etsy, Gothift. Search words include second hand, preloved, charity shop (UK), thrift shop (USA).

White Nail Varnish

 The final touch was white nail varnish.

All white, all right! When I go out I wear a shite hat and scarf, following the UK government advice to pedestrians to warn motorists, Wear White At Night!

Blue H & M Dress, dress of the day 393

Image
  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. Useful search words (alphabetically):  A-D absorbent, absorbency adult diapers briefs,  cloth menstrual pads diapers E-K full briefs,  heavy absorbency,  heavy flow,  i...

Marks & Spencer coat reversed Post 409

Image
  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.
