Dress Of The Day with Angela

  I went onto the John Lewis website searching for leopard print or animal print items from the label KAFFE. I instantly found two long skirts, one at about fifty pounds. Another at sixty pounds.

Finally, best of all a complete outfit, a sale price dress. I clicked on 'sale', and there it was. Animal print in brown/multi, at 79.20, reduced from 99 pounds, a 20% reduction.

What with my age, which I cannot change, my height, which I can only vary with high heeled shoes, and my weight. But now that I have lost a lot of weight I can wear outfits which never fitted or suited me before.  For the photo, to continue the green theme, I picked up a glass with a green lid (saved from aplastic bottle) which is used to keep dust and fies out of my water glass. To echo the orange pattern on the tee-shirt, I added an orange belt, made from tying on a large, orange thin scarf. I shoe orange open toed sandals to complete the orange and green summery look.  For the background I had some green plants, rather than a white wall. I dream of cropping the photo and adding a miniat...
