Dress Of The Day with Angela

  I think I shall try on this one. I found it at a winery with chairs outside for lunch, on La Palma, in the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean. We flew to Tenerife, hired a car, and took the ferry across to La Palma for a hiking holiday with a group who go every year. My husband and I visited several wineries. This one had wine, food, wine and food to buy, plus these irresistible tee-shirts. Perfect. Perfetto.  Angela Lansbury wearing her wine glasses tee-shirt. I tried on the other tee shirts, but a square pattern of thick paint did not fit well over a curvy chest. This tee shirt with the wine glasses looked and felt the best. So it was the one I bought. Just the thing for wine tastings, wine events, fine wine lunches, fine wine dinners.  These tee shirts cost about 13.5 euros at the winery which offers wine tastings or lunches of pate and toast.  On the internet you will find lots more similar from various suppliers. Or you can take a photo of yourself with your...

Sainsbury's Clothes Prices I used to buy from their branch in Stanmore. Here in Hendon the prices of clothes seem high but now on a discount. A huge amount of clothes. In addition to the discounts of 20% and 70%, there's a rail of discounted mixed up, odd items.  If you are looking for hair bands and colourful clips, look in the children's section.

Next tee-shirt embellished with sequins. Worn by Angela Lansbury. Photo by Trevor Sharot. The Printed Text Printed On The Tee shirt The Next tee-shirt on a table top so you can see the design more clearly. The letters spell out MERRY, a word we associate with the Christmas season because of the phrase used in songs. We wish you a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. God rest ye merry gentleman is in a Christmas carol. The same goodwill message appears on Christmas cards and on greeting cards, Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Perhaps that was why I got it reasonably priced. I bought it on Ebay for under ten pounds, despite the fact that it has lovely sequins, seems smart.  Is it tacky? the annoying way it splits the word merry into ME RR Y. Other Next tee-shirts have the text split up to make a short message or word in large letters fill two columns down the front. On mine the back is plain. Me? Why I Bought Sequins On The Tee-Shirt I bought the Next top for the sequins. I had...

  I bought this Indigo Moon tee shirt on ebay. The Ebay website has loads of Indigo Moon items. I love the bright colours, the sparkly sequins, shiny fabric pieces appliqued on, the teeny tubular beads,, the big , bold lozense shaped beans. The patterns are great. Swirls and curls. Leaves and petals. This one has a butterfly in the middle. It has short sleeves. It was sold as part of a two piece set, with an orange jacket. As the tee-shirt was not photographed separately, I was suspected it was not a matching colour. I was afriad it might just be an odd tee shirt of another brand, but was pleased that it was indeed Indigo Moon.

 I liked the picture symbols, so in any country you can point to a toilet, or knife and fork or aeroplane The prices were about ten pounds for the snmall sixe and about 12 for the larger size, but I didn't get as far as checkout to find the postage cost You can get sign language message for I love you on a tee-shirt.

One of the the Toastmasters International colours. Blue. A specific blue, with a name and a number. To promote the Singapore international Dynamic Speakers online club, we wanted three types of advertising, flyers and posters to put in the media such as Facebook and a webpage, a background at meetings, and templates for meeting posters to go in WhatsApp. We had three ways of doing that: 1 Start from scratch on Canva or Powerpoint or Photoshop and upload the logos and text we needed. Take existing material from toastmasters International marketing and change photos and add dates. Take previous items from our club and update phone numbers and group photos. Take the best eye-catching materials from the top clubs and change colours, shapes, and of course the people and dates.  As soon as we started we realized we needed up to date photos of ourselves, ideally with something showing the umbrella organization, the club, or our awards and activities. We decided to run a quick photo sessio...

  Angela Lansbury wearing a black Toastmasters T shirt and matching black mask. Photo selfie by Angela Lansbury. To get the text the right way round, my husband edited the picture in Photoshop. District 80 is Singapore. The tee-shirt is size XL. It is light weight. The label says Made in China. 100% Polyester. What can I wear with it?  A black head band?  A white dickey collar to look professional? A black skirt would look neat but sombre and funereal and monotone. A white skirt. Something in the Toastmasters colours? Suggestions please. Useful Website toastmasters international shopping page Unavailable until May 8 2022. Available from May 9th.

  Cross-eyed character tee-shirt, with added orange accessories. Dress 315. Silly. Photo by Trevor Sharot. The oranges items are all different shades. But my husband thought that was interesting. On my Samsung mobile phone I used the photo editing app to pasteurize. The white circle echoing the orange parasol worked well. The Tee-Shirt The tee-shirt is the basis of this outfit. I chose the orange skirt to match it. I could have chosen black or white. But I wanted something bright and jolly. The mouth of the character is a bow. The ears are applique, added, standing out from the base fabric. I cannot find it online. A lot of people just wear tee-shirts with jeans, when they could get many more outfits from one tee-shirt. The main lesson for you to copy is how to adapt a tee-shirt, even a discarded child's tee-shirt, or something daft, to create different effects. The accessories are: An orange cowgirl hat.  Order from party suppliers online, from Amazon.  The orange paper ...

  Angela in Las Vegas tee-shirt, bought from there by friend Yenny who was on holiday in California. Photo by Trevor Sharot.  Editing by Angela Lansbury. On a Samsung mobile phone in Gallery mode this photo is edited by cropping to cut out irrelevant background. Then I selected Poster. On previous occasions the Poster mode has ruined the outline of the outfit and the patterns. However, on a white tee-shirt and white wall the random colours and shapes add interest, especially as Las Vegas is not known for elegance but for dressing up in shocking and surprising, dramatic, theatrical outfits.  I could have worn red shoes but I wear a lot of red so to make a change I wore the pink with the blue band which picks up the blue in the tee-shirt design. Yenny asked me what I wanted from the USA. I did not need chocolate. I wanted something to wear. I decided on Medium because although I am now small, if something is larger it is easier to pull it in, than to find ribbon or fabric t...

 Keep calm and speak tee-shirt worn by Angela Lansbury. Photo by Trevor Sharot. Keep calm was a slogan in WW2 UK.  Black short sleeved tee-shirt. I can't see this version. It might have been printed by a local branch. To print your own, you must submit your design to TI international and get their permission. Their logo has to be printed in their colours. A bit like the McDonalds arch. They have a tried and tested colour scheme which is recognizable.  Colour Co-ordination Black and white go with many items in my wardrobe. I expected to be sitting down at a zoom internet meeting. However, I might stand up to show off my tee-shirt. So I looked for a black skirt. Current Tee-shirts From Toastmasters International with their logo. Other versions include one with the wording Pathways. Prices I sorted the garments by price. The cheapest was about 12 or 13 dollars. The was dearest nearer 60. For men or women. Plain or hooded. Short or long sleeved. Tee shirt. Shirts. They seem t...

A Singapore Airlines bride to be with her beau. Photo by Trevor Sharot. Copyright.  In Asia in countries such as Vietnam and Singapore it is the fashion to do a pre-wedding photo shoot the day or week in advance. If you see a wedding couple in a venue, that's probably a good place to show off your beau and your beautiful holiday clothes. For example, the entrance to a scenic point with the signpost. Waterfalls, walkways, bridges, fountains, outside and inside stations, beside artworks and statues.   For example, the USA: Especially if you are wearing a period costume. Los Angeles' Union station is the setting for the Oscars, extending the space needed for social distancing. The station is open as usual for trains, during the ceremony, as well as before and after. You may have seen the station already as it has appeared in numerous films. One more place to put on your visit list next time you are in Los Angeles, as well as the stars in the pavement.

  Orange colour theme: The Tee-Shirt Top The orange tee-shirt's label is No Problem Teen, 100% cotton, made in Thailand.  The tee-shirt has an embossed paint pattern of three pairs of flip-flop (thong) beach sandals. I have reversed the top to show the plain side. Why? Because the two patterns on the top and skirt did not match. I thought, maybe beachwear and fish go. But I looked at it. No. I put the tee-shirt face down on a flat surface. Next the the skirt. The top was plain. I thought, maybe it is cut with room to expand over the bust, and tight on the front. It wasn't cut to fit. It just stretched. What if it is too high or high at the neck. I was prepared to cut a slit below the centre of the neck. I could edge it with ribbon. In a hurry, I could temporarily hide it with a scarf.  I put it on, back to front. Perfect. From the front, as in this photo, I am co-ordinated.  When I am seated at meals, you cannot see the back of the top, hidden by a solid chair back. ...
