I bought three outfits and several scarves and a ring for ten pounds. This was my best buy. The one item which looks really good, on its own, on the hanger, and on me. The colours are attetion getting. Warm. But not to bristh. Soft and soothing. The wow factor. The now factor. The take if off the hanger and put it on factor.

The Shirt Style

I consider thiis smart casual. Shirt style with a collar and cuffs. Gently curving hem.  

The Colours

A happy harmony. Brighter red whether the horizontal and vertical stripes of red cross each other. Three colours of plaid interwiven to make squares  And oblong. Jolly orange, yellow and a murkey grey blue. 

The Cut

The two front vertical seams curve, to accentuate your figure. Figure hugging. Fitted.

Buttons

Nine almost see through half brown shirt buttons with four holes are down the front. One more button on each cuff. One button on each of the two sleeves for rolling them up. 

Versatile

You can wear the sleeves, or pull the up with the which are inside the sleeves tabs.

The Clothes Shop

 I bought this in a St Luke's chairty shop which raises money for hospices. The cost was one pound sterling. Now that the one pound shop has gone out of business or been bought up, my bargain hunting place is rammaging through the one pound metal basket in St Luke's.

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

  Indigo Moon brown jacket paired with Indigo Moon green skirt.  Skirt. Photo taken and cropped by Angela Lansbury. Copyright. 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 wer...

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...

I read in the news today that the French have issued instructions on preparing a survival kit for householders.  Convenient Carry Bag Your house should have a bag you can carry, or sling in a car. Your handbag or tote bag or holdall should have a few essentials. When hiking I wear clothes with pockets and have a rucksack with have pockets water, food and sting relief, and insect repallent, and maps and phone numbers. I also put the hospital nubers in my phone. Survival Kit Everybody should have a survival kit by their door, as well as a first aid box in the bathroom and a burns kit in the kitchen. Also clothes! Japanese The Japanese are reputed to keep survival kit by the door. Why? In case of earthquakes. Travellers should have a first aid kit. In their suitcase or bag. And in cars. Plus spare clothes. For sitting on wet or dirty ground. Medical Help Many buildings have a defibrilator. Do you have a scarf which would act as an emergency sling? After a car accident, I had broken m...
