Dress Of The Day with Angela

Photo by Trevor Sharotl Copyright.  Oops - I was invited to a Hanukah party and I did not have a hanukah outfit. I had a Xmas jumper, with rheindeer. What to do? Add a star of David necklace. The six point star of David is known as the seal of Solomon to Muslims and the Star of David to Jews. Its origins could be a good luck symbol of six points to trap the devil or the evil eye, the enemy.  You can buy star of David jewellery in many jewellery shops and the shops in Jewish Museums. I bought a colourful star of David necklace with matching ear-rings made by Eva at Changi airport. I thought the necklace in red and green was just right as to wear for both Christmas and Hanukah.  The jumper is label George, which is from Asda. I thought the reindeer design was childish and cheap looking but when I teamed it up with a red skirt, and orange-red velvet  track suit bottom...

I am on the mailing list for Crocs but I still look at all the similar style and cheaper brands, especially for the deals of 20 dollars or 20 pounds or less and the colours which I want.  I wanted a darker blue to go with a towelling robe which I wear for swimming.  The Towelling Robe The towelling robe is neater than carrying around a bulky towel. I can manage with a tiny face flannel size to dry off my feet but often forget even that. (Which increases the risk of athletes foot if you don't dry your feet and leave them all day in wet shoes, so I dry my feet and change into another pair or Crocs or Croc style colourful synthetic clogs.) The towelling robe was originally a wrap around. I found that a nuisance. It constantly came undone. Even when done up, it could be too revealing. It tended to hang sideways. The hem was always a different length on t...

Angela in dress 275, Orange reversible dress with matching scarf. Photo by Trevor Sharot. Dress The orange dress is reversible. Two for the price of one.  Matching Scarf The matching scarf has fringes on the short ends. I used the scarf as a belt to shorten the dress. The dress seemed too long. I needed it to be shorter on public transport and when walking to be sure of not tripping over. I also wanted to avoid getting the hem dirty.  The scarf pattern matches only one side of the dress, although the colour matches both sides. The scarf matches this side which is my favourite.  If I were making a reversible dress, I would make a reversible scarf from the same two dress fabrics sewn back to back. Would that make it too heavy? I can try out this idea, by pinning together two similar scarves and check the effect. I used to look on eBay for reversible dresses. The Cape The cape was listed as a cape coat on Shein, a successful selling online Chinese fun fashion business. It is...

  On ebay and Amazon. The brand leader are Crocs. I have a second hand pair of Crocs in yellow. The real deal - Crocs. You can wear the strap at the front or at the back. It rotates on a circular fixing. The Yellow Sandals In this picture I have matched up the yellow shoes with a yellow swimming ring. I found them abandoned. I washed them off. Because they were dirty. And somebody else had worn them. This was before Covid-19. For several months I did not wear them. They looked big and clonky. Then my other shoes were wet. So I tried them on. The Crocs soon became a regular alternative shoe, until they became my everyday shoes. I wear my yellow shoes all day indoors around the home. The shoes, or rather, sandals, look rather clompy with smart clothes. However, they are comfortable and quick to put on and off for photos or when jumping into the shower to cool down in Singapore. And when you come out of the shower with wet feet. The latest Crocs were on sale at a store in Orchard Road...
