Website buying hints on misleading low prices post number 263a by Angela Lansbury, author, traveller, fashionista

 I saw a a tee shirt I liked on Etsy.  There was a half price offer on Etsy. Reduced from about 12 to 6, dollars or pounds, it doesn't matter. the important thing is that when I went to checkout I was asked to choose the size. the smallest size was for a baby. When I went to choose my adult size, the price was double the full price which had been shown on Etsy. You need to watch the top price offered as well as the lowest. the system tells you the lowest price for all sizes.  The result was that I was disenchanted with that item, that seller, that website, and shopping online for the day.  I had wasted 20 minutes of my time and not found anything at my price which was 10 to 15 dollars for a a tee shirt or blouse or shirt and 20 for a dress. Ebay and Etsy This is how it seems to work currently on ebay and etsy in 2024 January. For a long time I was puzzled on Ebay, which was my favourite site. I thought that certain sellers had set out to lure me in and mislead me by ...

Dress 177 Blue with cream orchid. How to use ribbons as hatbands, belts and more

WHERE TO BUY RIBBONS I have three spools of satin ribbon bought from Daiso the Japanese budget one price store.  大創 ( daiso ) = large creation. WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH RIBBONS They are in blue, red and green. I looked at the blue dress and wondered, what have I got that's blue to go with this. My eyes discovered the spool of blue ribbon.  I cut a piece of blue ribbon to tie around the brim of the hat to go with the dress. A shorter piece of the blue ribbon tied around the pigtail helps to co-ordinate.  A further piece could be added to the wrist. Another ribbon, longer, can tie around the waist.  It is a trick you could copy with a length of ribbon. Black and white would be the most useful. If you wear a lot of a colour, such as red, blue, turquoise, or silver and gold for evening, a length of ribbon on a spoon or loose would come in handy.
