Reasons Not To Buy A White Tee-shirt in February I was searching online on Ebay for clothes with sequins when up popped the tee-shirt. I hesitated. I was not looking for  summer clothes but long sleeved jackets, coats, and maybe a dress or suit. It was the wrong time of year for tee-shirts. I also did not like one pocket. Lop-sided. Reasons Why I Bought It However, it had sequins. Also it was by usually reliable Marks & Spencer. Plus it was reasonably priced. Under two pounds, plus postage, in total about five pounds.

I thought most shops had seasonal clothes, except black and white underwear from Sloggi which is available for replenishing every season. Novelty is what fashion is, what ...

  Marks & Spencer M & S Collection. they say. M & S for Marks & Spencer. We often say Marks and Spencer's. But Spencer is singular. M & S Collection is one of their labels.  The Grey Marl Jumper I looked up grey marl.

Sequins seems suitable for New Year's Eve.  The Top The top is labelled atmosphere, which is a Primark brand. Size 16/44. The sequins are on the front. I found a similar vest tank top on Amazon in blue for only about ten Singapore dollars eighty six plus delivery. I saved it to Pinterest. The Jacket The jacket style is very smart. A wide stand up collar. Wide cuffs. The fabric has a gold thread.  On both sides of the collar and on each of the two cuffs are three five petal roses, with spirals of stand up satin ribbon surrounded by sequins. Six Chinese knot closures, each fastened by a loop of ribbon, are down the front. A placket ensures no gap. Both cuffs are fastened with similar Chinese knots.   The Jacket label is ROSEs. XXL. Made in China. Possibly from Mustafa's in Singapore, where I have spent hours trying on different colours and styles and sizes of C...
