Dress Of The Day with Angela

  Blue? I bought a one-piece outfit, with the label Shein. The pattern is a mixture of turqoise and blue, or green.  Green? I remember reading that one language, or maybe some languages, more than one, have only one word for blue and green. Which ones. I googled it and got an A1 answer. Vietnamese, Thai and Korean  have one word for green and blue. So do the Pashtun people of Afghanistan and N.W. Pakistan.  Japanese has a word for blue and green but the word for blue is often used for colors that English speakers would consider green such as traffic lights and unripe fruit.

  The Lao costume is almost the same as 'Thai silk' which is not silk but synthetic. The difference is that Thai silk is usually sold with a matching short tank top and or bolero, which the lao version seems to have a plain tank top and diagonally worn scarf which matched the skirt. I have a similar outfit in Thai 'silk' in my next post.
