Dress Of The Day with Angela

 Angela wearing royal blue Shein dress with split sleeves. The black tee shirt says I am a published author.Ask me about my book. I wore it to the Writers' Summer School at the Hayes Conference Centre, Swanwick, Derbyshire in August 2024. I was wearing it in the queue for coffee. The lady next to me asked me about my books.

I asked if there was a choice of colour of tee shirt.  No. They were all the same. The correspondent sent me a picture of the fron...

I added a black skirt to this tee-shirt and feel that I would not wear it regularly. I need colour near my face. Especially on Zoom. When I travelled as a busy travel writer, the black skirt was good, for not showing stains and in any case was being hidden under the table at dinner. I matched it with various tops. The black skirt and black shoes went with everything.  If you wear black, it could go well with black hair, or make you look monotonous. If you have white teeth and eyes, and they are your good features, you can brighten up a black tee-shirt with a white colour. On zoom you want neck interest. Fancy shoes don't get much attention un...
