How to enhance your plain top with a black skirt and black belt

  Angela Lansbury in lime green tp with black belt to match the black skirt. The purpose of this photo was to show off my new white collar, a detachable collar or dickey. I had a lime green t-shirt. I wore the green-t-shirt over the black underskirt (a long Marks and Spencer slip with lace godet or triangular inset at hem level). The lime green and black were not a real match. I decided to add a black belt.  That was perfect. Next I looked for black shoes, and black bows, slip-ons, for my hair. Lime green top with white dickey, black belt and black skirt and black shoes and black hair bows. Selfie by Angela Lansbury to show the collar close-up. Black shoes by Bally. Photo by Angela Lansbury. The black shoes are by Bally. Pointed toes. The base says Made in Italy and the symbol for leather with the words vero cuoio. These must be vintage shoes because at first most shoes were all leather. Then all plastic came in. Then half and half and the sellers put leather on the sole when ...

  Orange colour theme: The Tee-Shirt Top The orange tee-shirt's label is No Problem Teen, 100% cotton, made in Thailand.  The tee-shirt has an embossed paint pattern of three pairs of flip-flop (thong) beach sandals. I have reversed the top to show the plain side. Why? Because the two patterns on the top and skirt did not match. I thought, maybe beachwear and fish go. But I looked at it. No. I put the tee-shirt face down on a flat surface. Next the the skirt. The top was plain. I thought, maybe it is cut with room to expand over the bust, and tight on the front. It wasn't cut to fit.
