Dress Of The Day with Angela

  Angela Lansbury in orange dress from Primark. Outfit 382. Photo by Trevor Sharot. At the Wriers' Summer School in Swanwick I admired two dresses, one was in green. The other was in orange. Plain simple dresses. Clear colours. Bright colours. Years ago, my mother would not have allowed me to buy a dress which was gathered, or anything with rick-rack braid. She would have said, no dtyling, no cut. Tht is what you put on bsbies. For adults women you need cut to make a fitted dress which enhances the curved or th breadst, wais,t hips and bottom. The Orange Dress Oh, well. I saw the orange dress in Lidl. I loved the colour. I had to have it. The size is ten. Slightly small for me. If you wear a long0sleeves thermal vest under it, the arms feel too tight. Esmara The label is Esmara. This is the Lidl brand. They aim to offer a range of staples such as tee-shirt, plus a few higher priced smart designer items but still at discounts compared to other sources. The orange dress was also avai...

  Orange dress from Marks  & Spencer. Other items were gifts to the wearer, including the home made necklace. Photo by Angela Lansbury. I wear a lot of red, white and black. However, the soothing creamy green and orange combination worn by my new friend appealed to me. If you are looking for dresses in Marks & Spencer, in August (the Harrow branch in St Anne's outdoor shopping mall) had dresses for sale. I thought the prices were quite high, some reduced by as much as 70%, others by 30 to 50 per cent, several around forty pounds, others around thirty or about twenty. But tee-shirts included  an atractive one in white wiht a plam tree pattern in the centre, at under twenty pounds.   The sale was in August 2023. I expect that every year August will be the time to look in the sales.

The white lace edging makes it smarter than a normal baseball cap and so it goes with dresses.  Waddesdon Manor, Buckinghamshire, England, UK Useful Websites Waddesdon https://waddesdon.org.uk/

  Why do I wear  a red, pink, orange or leopard skin spots cowgirl hat? I would prefer to wear a cowgirl hat with cowgirl boots. However, whenever I wear a hat, even with the most incongruous outfit, I receive numerous compliments.  They are cheap to buy online. They fit any speech I give about the USA, or American accents. They suit me. The brim protects my eyes from light. If I am in lockdown since Covid-19, or in quarantine, a hat can cover my hair, whether it is merely untidy and uncombed, or needs the roots tinted.  Men can similarly wear hats to cover uncombed hair, grey hair, or a bald spot. Rock and Roll hall of Fame, Cleveland, Ohio, USA. Photo from MusikAnimal in Wikipedia. A cowgirl hat is ideal wear if you want to sing American songs in karoake, dress up for a fancy dress party, or talk to Americans online. One of my contacts on the Polyglot community asked which language I like to hear.  Let's start with American clothes and accents. In New York you...
