Dress Of The Day with Angela

  Green Wallis top accentuates the green caftan and enhanced the blonde hair .Photo by Angela Lansbury.  Copyright  Green is one of my colours. It goes well with blonde hair, as well as brown hair, red hair and black hair and white hair. Clean green. Choosing to Support St Luke's I bought this from St Luke's charity shop which raises money for hospices in London. Who are the tourists in London nowadays? The latest results say that Americand are are top visitors. Americans are used to thrift stores. I have a lot of clothes. Too many. I just emptied out the shower room so I could use it again as an en suite tolet at night and a shower room. So when I see half a dozen items for only one pound in the cut price box of items which have not sold, I cannot buy them all. I was undeided about this item.  Wallis Brand But Wallis is a well known brand. So I bought it. Style It has a low v neck. A mock crossover style. A bit tight and figure hugging. Will go with a black or white...

 If you are looking for embellishments for an outfit, consider sewing on large buttons with your favourite motif. Elphant buttons are sewn onto Thai clothing. They are on foldover / wrap blouses which fasten underneath with hidden snaps (which in England we call press studs). Here are elephant buttons which I ordered in a large size. You can get elephant buttons in all sizes and designs, as well as owls and other motifs. I ordered these three elephant buttons online. They are bigger than I expected and beautiful.  I have already ordered a blue Thai top with the classic three elephant buttons.  I already have a top in red which I bought years ago in Singapore in a clothes shop in Holland Village.

  Dress of the day 331. Photo by Trevor Sharot. I slit the shorts from the crotch to both knee hems. The turn-up was large, so I let it down to make a longer skirt. The Green Top By Ralph Lauren The man's top was long. I did not like the casual sporty neck with a skirt. So I added a dickey or false shirt front with a collar in  plain white which matched the plain white pattern. Navy blue, or white, would also have been good combination colours. The label is Polo by Ralph Lauren. Size medium. Feel very hot in Singapore, especially when worn under a belted skirt or shorts, instead of hanging loose on top. The Polo Player Logo The logo is tiny, a polo player on horseback, astride a galloping horse. The rider has his stick raised above his head prior to striking the invisible ball. The logo is dark orange. If I had realized that, I would have worn my orange Crocs. Size Medium. White Cotton Half Slip White Cape Blazer Blue and Green Flip-flops For once the casual footwear of flip-f...
