Dress Of The Day with Angela

  I went onto the John Lewis website searching for leopard print or animal print items from the label KAFFE. I instantly found two long skirts, one at about fifty pounds. Another at sixty pounds.

That's better priced if you are on a budget or love a bargain. You could choose the short skirt style animal print, or a brown animal print which I would call tiger, curved stripes, rather than ovals or leopard spots. Another option is the black and white animal print which co-ordinates well with your other black or white jackets, tops and accessories such as belts, bags, shoes and hats and tote bags, ear rings and jewellery. Finally, best of all a complete outfit, a sale price dress. I clicked on 'sale', and there it was. Animal print in brown/multi, at 79.20, reduced from 99 pounds, a 20% reduction.

You might recall the phrase, a leopard cannot change its spots. Style As for the style, it has no buttons. Just a fold across.  You can use a belt. But that makes it look bulky. Adding Fastening It is warm and attractive, almost seductive, if you hold the collar together or folded over slightly. To keep it done up attractively, wtihout having to hold it, I am considering adding some kind of closure at the neck. I would like something small and inconspicous, such as a snap or hook and eye. Maybe it would look good with a fancy button on top f...
