Blue colour suts me. It maches my eyes. It flatters my complexion.  I bought this dress from St Luke's charity shop in London, England. The style is caftan. Just pull it over your head to et dressed in a hurry. The dress is too long. If I take off the belt, I keep tripping over the hem. Should I turn it up, or cut off the hem and use the leftover piece for a matching belt, hairband, or scarf? Sandals The brand name is Toms. Accessories I chose the co-ordinateng sadals with a shade of blue and contrasting warm pink. Umbrella The umbrella is also blue and pink. It is a child size umbrella. I bought one of thse online by mistake. Then I found it really handy. Small enough to stuff in a large tote bag. Just big enough to protect yourself on a druzzly day.

Orange and black Shein dress worn by Angela Lansbury. Copyright Angela Lansbury. I bought the dress and co-ordinating orange jacket together for my summer holiday. When I was notified of sale items I searched for dress and matching jacket. I really wanted a long dress and elegant matching coat, at under twenty pounds.

But it was more inclined to slip than a proper belt. Even though I did not have time to sew two belt retaining loops, nor alternatively risk slitting the...

Close up of neckline embroidery. Selfie photo by Angela Lansbury. Copyright. The Blue Tunic Three Piece Set The tunic is a kurta. The style worn in India and the Middle East. Because a kurta a slit up both sides to the waist it is usually worn with a matching or plainer pant (trouser), usually the fabric without the glossy embroidery. A floor length or ankle length skirt uses a lot of fabric. That raises he cost. So I was very pleased wih y bargain. Oddly, the colour is much brighter blue in sunlight. In the evening I looked at the pale blue under elecric light and it seemed rather epis and wishy washy. However, I decided tha because I have blue eyes, alhough it was not royal blue which maches my skin colour, it might prove a success. I was more the pleased with the resul. If I have no worn the trousers at all af...
