Samsonite suitcase, gray, black and fuchsia outfit, 519

Image
Angela Lansbury with a Samsonite four wheel carry on suitcase. Photo by Trevor Sharot. Silver-Gray Sandals I matched the suitcase with silver-gray shoes. (The British spelling is grey.) I bought the shoes at a reduced price in Mustafa's. I was looking for touch and close and these are firm across the toes. However, the ankle strap is adjustable and I find them comfortable. When I went back, I could not see anything like them again. The moral is, if something is cheap, buy the bargain in both colours. You have little to lose and lots to gain. Samsonite Suitcase Samsonite suitcases are named after the strength of Samson in the bible. Supposedly strong and sturdy suitcases and good quality. This one is Samsonite Lite. Somebody left it in the bin area. The inside was okay, the outside a little bedraggled with some stickers.  However, there's often a reason why something is discarded. I soon found out why. The suitcase was leaving a trail of little black bits. The outsides of the wh...

Reversible dress and jacket, dress 423, turquoise and leopard skin reversible dress, turquoise and black jacket

Image
Photo by Trevor Sharot. Reversible Dress This side is a diagonal print with two patterns. One is a blue background and a dusty orange and greyish white. The other pattern is a larger band of leopard skin pattern in black, charcoal, pale grey and greyish white. I have about ten reversible dresses. I used to sit looking for reversible dresses on eBay and bid on the ones that started at 99p.  Sources of Simple Style Reversible Dresses At first I bought the simple style like a tunic with a wide shoulder strap, from the major catalogues such as J D Williams. These are a firm weave and practical for travelling, less likely to snag or fray. At the end of the summer season the catalogue companies reduce them. Since they are stretchy and one size, they are likely to fit you around your girth. Smarter Dresses With Scarves Some are sold new for quite high prices.  Usually these have a fringed scarf. Extra frills. A designer label. I liked the ones with a matching scarf. Much more elegant...

Image
  Photo by Trevor Sharot. Bossini Top This stripey and grunge top is vibrant, hot, fun. The skirt is the same as in the previous outfit, 324. But, in outfit 324, an orange skirt with a white top, a plain white top, looked cool and cute, sweet and simple, prim and proper.    The Skirt The skirt is a saree underskirt or petticoat from Mustafa's. The waist is drawstring. Mustafa's is in India and Singapore. Footwear The dark orange sandals are Crocs. Crocs are from the USA. They are sold in Singapore stores, cheaper in London, and online worldwide. Amazon sells a lovely pale orange colour sandal, similar shape to Crocs, with the movable bar, but without the important holes which enable your feet to breathe and the water from the shower or swimming pool or sea to evaporate. the brand is Sport. i saved a picture in Dress of the Day in Pinterest.  I shall be showing more outfits with this skirt. The Bossini Top I love the colours of this tee-shirt. The stripes in darker co...
