Dress Of The Day with Angela

I ordered four outfits from Temu. Temu is a marketplace, not one manfacturer, a sort of shop online. However, they sent all four items together inside one larger bag. I was pleased to have them all at once. Temu sends clothes in bags. When I order from Amazon it tends to be household goods or shoes which come in cardboard boxes. Their logo shows what they sell, clothes, accessories such as shoes and bags, toys. I was interested in clothes. The items were for warmer weather. I wondered whether to leave them neatly folded and compactly packed. Then I decided to open them. I wanted to check I had been sent the right items, sizes, colours, nothing missing, nothing I needed to return.  I would be able to give feedback if I wished to do so. Why give feedback. As a thank you. to encourage buyers to do so since I find the feedback helps me. Sometimes you have saved feedback and can check what you said about a supplier or an item. But the website might  not save your feedback forever. ...

Red shawl for dinner. Photo by Trevor Sharot. I was wearing a white silk night dress, brand Patra. I had an aftrnoon nap and decided not to crease and crumple my day dress but to get back into my night dress   I transformed it in half a minute into an evening outfit by throwing on my red evrning shawl. I had had the foresight to hang the shawl on a bedroom hanger in order to dress quickly. On a previous evening on my long  weekend trip to Thailand I had left the same shawl either in the suitcase or a bedroom drawer and when we left the bedroom in a hurry to join the family for dinner I could not find it in a hurry  They say you learn by your mistakes  I did  Theory is to have the evening's outfit all on one hanger in one place such as the far right of your bedroom wardrobe at home or on holiday. I remember somebody gave me a whie hanger painted with the words mother of the groom (I think they bought a set of six for bride and groom and parents of the...

Angela in striped apron with arrow accessory. Photo by Trevor Sharot. We were packing to move home. We filled 225 boxes, almost our entire container. I found this large bow. Too big to pack. Not used for years.  However, I wanted a record of it, to use it to illustrate a speech or talk with the theme of take aim. So, before throwing it away, I used it for a photo.  The bow symbolises moving forward, focussing on the future. Having an aim in life. 

The overflowing Suitcase I had been packing for weeks The suitcase was full with extra items in piles either side. I kept taking things out, putting new things in, and starting all over again.  The Multiple Lists I kept trying to make a list. The red dress on day one, the green on day two, the red shoes, the yellow shoes. I needed five outfits if I wore the same dress on the journey down and the journey back. I wanted a day outfit and an evening outfit. I could take two reversible dresses. But did I have the right colour bras and slips?  Each time, I started a new list. I ended up with four lists and could not tell which was the latest. Chaos The whole room was a mess. I had so many tops and skirts and could not decide.  Urgent Solution Needed But I needed to tidy the house for family and visitors. I had to get everything into the suitcase and then put the spare clothes back in the wardrobe. (Americans say closet.)  It was a nightmare.  Count The Days I took eve...
