Dress Of The Day with Angela

I was sure I had bought something in that pattern previously. I searched my own blog and discovered that I already own several outfits.  I also have, somewhere in my clutter of clothes, an assortment of amusing acessories. My low price items include a fun, leopard skin pattern cowgirl hat.   Low Price Leopard Skin Coat & Accessories See also post 527 of Angela Lansbury in a leopard skin pattern coat from St Luke's in London, England. Free Leopardskin Broken Umbrella The cheapest item was completely free, a rescued broken umbrella which somebody had abandoned under a bush after a shower of rain in Singapore.

Enough for a long weekend: one day dress and a change for the evening for a long weekend, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.  Or for a week's stay. Arrive and leave in the same dress.  Wash it on the evening of day one, with a week to dry. On Facebook my long-standing friend Fiona, who I know from Writers' Holiday, an annual event held in Wales, recalled, "You once arrived at Writers' Holiday wearing three dresses!" Did I really? I had forgotten that. I think I vaguely remember taking all my clothes our of my carry-on airline suitcase for a journey by train from London, England, to Wales, in February. I put all my books in the bag and there was hardly any room for clothes. Just shoes and underwear. I opened the front door and the cool air hit me. I needed something warm. I put on a cardigan. On the bed was the reversible dress I had taken out of the suitcase. I tri...
