Kim & Co Clothes - light pink vests - Dress of the Day 762 by Angela Lansbury


 I was hunting for Kim & Co clothes. I have stretch suits which are not smart but neat and fit all the time. I hunted on ebay and up came the offer of what looked like two pink vests. They are not the heavy stretch fabric, but very light, like underwear. 

I had hesitated to order the two pink vest tops from Ebay because of the size. They are soft and comfortable to wear.

Then I looked up the company online and found lots of interesting information.

1 Kim is not the family name but the first name of female designer Kim Mendelson. 

2 Although the clothes are designed in Montreal, Canada, they are marketed through online clothes channels in the UK and Germany.

3 Designer Kim produces not just two seasons of clothes, summer and winter, not just four seasons, but a new collection every month for the online shopping channels.

4 Their unique selling point is designed for women by women, why not for a woman by a woman. Thinking about it, with that much designing required, she needs a team. Hence and co. I imagine she sets the overall philosophy which they follow. For example, crease-free clothes. That is very important to me. I don't iron. When travelling I don't have time to iron. I also don't want to unpack and find my dress for dinner tonight is unwearable.

5 The only drawback to their clothes which I bought is that the label advised wash before first wear. I shall deal with that in a following post.

On the other hand, maybe you should was all new clothes before wearing them. But Kim & co is the only company with that on the label. Ii

t is the first time I have read it. In May 2026. I am wondering if this is a sign of increased consumer and manufacturer awareness, or existing or forthcoming legislation in some.

So, there you have it. For more information, go to the websites of Kim & Co.

The Waistcoat With Palm Trees & Parrots From Shein (and straw hat) post 582 from Angela Lansbury

  Angela Lansbury wearing at waistcoat with palm trees.   Photo by Angela Lansbury. The Shein Waistcoat The waistcoat came from St Lukes charity shop. The label is Shein. Made in China. As you might expect  The St Luke's price was £3. I googled waistcoat, Shein, parrot, and the exact sme garment appeared immediately. The Shein model was wearing it over a white crop top with short denim shorts. The price was ten pounds plus three pounds postage. But as a new customer or returning customer (eg after a gap of several weeks not ordering) you might get offered free postage.  I like the fact that the patterns on the right and left mirror each other as if the parrots are about to speak to each other. Useful search words for the same or similar garments would be beach scene, colourful, multicolor, palm trees, sleeveless jacket, tank top, top, Travachic, tropical print, vest, waistcoat.  The Straw Hat  The straw hat was free, a promotional gift.

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

Image
    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...
