Anthony Sicari vintage dark pink top with an extra blouse for winter warmth Dress of the Day 617

I needed an outfit to go out to a wine tasting. I would be seated all night so the skirt was not important, only the top.
I would be drinking wine, white, orange, and red wines. So I needed a top which would not get stained. Synthetic fabric. Not white. Preferably patterned.

I have several Anthony Sicary outfits, mostly tops, a few with matching skirts, one of two with the matching scarf, and one red jacket. Most have some red or pink. One or two are mostl black or navy.

Warm Colour, Warm Fabric
 I wanted to wear a different one. And not the dark colours. Something in a warm colour. But not bulk sleeves. Why? Because I was wearing a black woolly cardigan. Why? Because I was going to be sitting in a large hall which was unheated and cold last year.

The sleeves of the Sicari top were thin fabric, not knitted like the bodice. So I wore a blouse underneath. Another layer.

The White Blouse

The white blouse with the pussy bow is vintage. Size 12. 100% polyester. I tried wearing it with the bow tied. I had trouble making a neat bow.

I tried it with the two long white pieces folded back around the neck. Very good. Hides a double chin Does not obscure the pink pattern across the top of the the top. Warmth around the neck. No draughts.

I have edited out the background using the lassoo feature on my Samsung mobile phone.

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...

Survival Clothes and Kits For Holidays, Home & Away post 510

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...

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.
