Dress Of The Day with Angela

I tried knotting the top but prefer the way it looks loose. I  searched on ebay for a three-piece skirt suit. I found several. Most were dull classics, boring fabric, dull designs.  Advantages of Long Sleeves Then I saw the green outfit. I wanted long sleeves, not short sleeves. Long sleeves protect you from cold weather and cold air conditioning, and insects, or sun's rays. They hide any imperfections of arms, freckles, age spots, wrinkles, veins, elbows. Longer sleeves are useful when visitong temples requiring you to cover up. I bid from very little. Bidding Wars & Strategy I was outbid. I was bidding against one other bidder. I did not want to keep bidding up every day, driving up the price for me, and for my rival if I lost. But I did not want to forget and lose out on the last day. So on the last day I bid early in the morning then later in the day. Would I still be outbid?  I decided I really liked the colour and kept bidding. Perfect Price, plus postage The se...

I looked at the outfits from Laos and thought, I have something similar to that. I have Thail so called silk skirts, wrap around, with matching tops. I have some with elephant pattern, which is typically Thai, as the elephant it their national symbol. (Elephants are also popular on Indian cotton prints.) To follow the Laos article I though an outfit without the Thai elephants would be more suitable. I have enough spare skirts and tops to cut one up and make a scarf. To show off a scarf you need a pale colour contrasting top. The style should be like a tee-shirt, ideally white with short sleeves for the heat. To match the fabric choose silk. I am wearing a white knitted silk Patra top. But online you can buy inexpensive satiny tank tops.
