Dress Of The Day with Angela

I wear a lot of scarves. What to do? I have scarf brooches but I loose them. The moral is, a place for everything, and everythign in its place. Maybe keep them in the drawer with the scarves. I watched a scarf tying video. It goes very fast. A good idea  is to pick a scarf and then watch the video. Practice on that scarf.  One easy tip is threading a scarf through the top button hole. This requires a very slender scarf. Thin silk.  You also need a neatly sewn buttonhole which won't catch the threads of your precious scarf.

Seasonal Theme Clothes I have been online on Zoom to several meeting with seasonal themes and dress codes of red, white and green. What to wear? Something with red around the neck. Maybe a white collar. A Santa hat with red and white. Green  If possible, wear something green.

You can also ask everybody in the meeting to wear a Santa hat. Or Take a picture of the hat and distribute this as a photo the meeting members can use as their background.
