Mark & Spencer Silver Sequin Skirt. Dress of the Day 701.

 I loved the rose embellishment of multi-size sequins on this skirt.

I saw the skirt on sale at Marks and Spencer in Harrow. But didn't buy it. 

When I went back the sale rail had gone. I spent a week hunting all over the internet for it. 

I finally found it at a higher price. I bought it. 

It has a zip.

The Sequin Skirt Lining

The skirt has a lining. In grey. The lining is needed, not just to keep the stretchy fabric in shape. Importantly, the inside of the sequin fabric feels rough if the skirt rides up.

I have not yet found the perfect top to match it.

I ordered the skirt from Reskinned Resources, London, through Ebay.

A pop-up questionnaire asked for feedback and I wrote

1 Have the manufacturer's number of the garment, so I know which of several silver sequin skirts I am buying. 

2 Photograph distinctive  features in detail, such as inside pockets, sequin embellishments, lining, measurements with a ruler across the bust and hips and small items such as ear rings. I might want to buy the same garment in the same colour, another colour, or to avoid buying the same twice.

3 Put tracking numbers/colors /A-Z letters on boxes so I know which item has been delivered.

The Next Vest

Next. Size 10. From ebay.

I searched for clothes with sequins and bid on three costing under five pounds. Add the postage and it comes to about 5 pounds. 

I was considering cutting the patches off the clothes. because the cost of patches could be more than five pounds including postage.

Pearl brooches on hat paired with M & S sweater with pearls. Dress Post 686 by Angela Lansbury

    Sweater embroidered with mock pearls matches my hat pinned with mock pearl brooches.  I had never worn this pale grey sweater  I thought pale grey was a boring colour and always opted for something brighter such as royal blue or bight red. However, as I re-folded warm winter tops to fit them into my crammed dresser unit shelves, this fell out. Was the universe sending me a message?  I thought, I don't remember ever wearing it.  I must wear it once. Just for a change.  Snow is falling outside in London. Now is its hour. I looked  at the decoration. Sequins! I had been searching for sequins to wear at New Year. This thick sweater would not match my red solid sequin evening skirt. However, it would match my knitted hat, which bore brooches with mock pearls. The Grey Marl Sweater M & S Collection. Size 14. a mixture of four fabrics, cotton.  As I had anticipated, the garment had pinned inside some spare sequins and pearls and rhinestones....

Stripey Red & White Socks, thigh high, and tights - outfit 679 by Angela Lansbury

Image
  I bought a pair of knee high red and white stripe socks in St Luke's charity shop. At one pound or under, you can't lose much. (Their charity fundraising shops are in NW London in Hatch End, Harrow Weald and elsewhere.) Why did I buy the long socks, in hard to match, garish, childish, stripes - after hesitation and consideration? The Advantages Of Long Socks The  length was attractive, at this time of year. I often need long socks under a midi skirt. For warmth in winter. And not to show bit of bare legs above socks. To co-ordinate colours. Advantages and Disadvantages of Red and White Stripes I like red. It's fun. White can show dirt quickly.  Red and white is a bit restrictive. It will clash with patterns, only go with plain reds and whites. But under a table at dinner or on Zoom nobody else will notice. Nor will I. I will only feel them. If the socks are too tight, you might feel uncomfortable. At night, when you take them off, you might see red indentation lines acr...
