Dress Of The Day with Angela

 I bought this through E-bay. What is not apparent in my picture and was not apparent to me from the picture on the website is that the flower has a faint painted teal or dark turquoise background with a scattering of embossed glinting small silver circles. Accessories - Shoes Brand Sport I had thought of wearing white shoes to co-ordinate with the dress. But bright whites make other whites look dirty. If you can get the right match, that looks clean and summery for summer. I am wearing pink synthetic, wide-tied clogs, a bit like Crocs, brand name Sport, in size 38. They have a band which goes forward, for easy access and makes them full size. When the band is pulled backwards the footwear is slightly smaller and fits more securely, with your feet not slipping about. Socks Or Insoles?  I could wear them with socks. On this occasion, I dressed in a hurry to go out, so I am wearing them with fabric insoles.The insoles fit securely, unlike in normal flat sandals, because the Spor...

A bright jolly outfit. I keep seeing these on the websites of Shein and Temu.  Pink And White Dress worn by Angela Lansbury. Photo by Trevor Sharot.   Long Scarf Belt White tight across a full tummy is not a good look. So I hid it with a pink scarf. Short Scarf Neckline I added another scarf to fill the neckline. Saree Underskirt Would my legs be bitten by midges or mosquitos? I added a long Indian underskirt in navy blue. The colour matched my multi-pocket travelling  vest.

Bride Angela. Photo copyright Angela Lansbury. Royal White Wedding Dress - An Enduring Luxury Fashion  White was a fashion set by Queen Victoria's daughter. White and came to signify a rich person who could afford to wear a new, delicate, dress. White Wedding Dress - Pure, not Practical White White is clean. It symbolised purity, virginity. . After getting grubby would never be worn again, not a practical dark colour.  Virginal White Girls who were not virgins, or who were visibly pregnant, or on a second marriage, would wear a pastel colour but not white. Attention-Getting White White was also an attention getting colour. A contrast to everyone else. At a large wedding it helps the photographer, and latecomers wishing to find the couple to congratulate the groom (who traditionally was the pursuer, and compliment the bride. You can find the bridal couple when you want to say goodbye and leave. Alternatives To White Dresses If the bride has set her heart on another dress, or co...

  Angela Lansbury wearing the white dress of the day 551, with cut sleeves. Photo by Trevor Sharot. I bought this dress in Singapore second-hand from the second-hand shop, Refash. Americans call buying 'preloved' items, thrifting. I had looked at the Refash price ranges. If I could not find anything in the lower price range, the best value in the upper price range was a full length dress.  Advantages Of A Full Length Dress A full length dress is quicker when you are trying to decide what to put on, rather than trying to match up tops and skirts of different colours and patterns. The overall effect is neater. You look taller, if you are tiny as I am, in an upright oblong, rather than in two square dice shapes, whether they are the same colour separated by a midriff or belt, or different colours. I found a lovely dress which was small. I had already rejected it on my first spinning circle around the shop because it was small. On second thoughts, I wondered if I could cut it. May...

Jazzy in pink frilled dress with white cape. Photo by Faith.  This is 'Jazzy' wearing a pink dress. Her favourite colour is pink. You can see that her mobile phone has a pink cover. Her cuddly soft toy is pink. Her white shoes have pink pom poms. Her glasses are pinky-red. She is wearing pink lipstick. She has a pink scrunchie wristband. The white frilled tie-on jacket is frilled. The jacket frill echoes the wide double frill hem of her dress.  She is not wearing a mask. A pink or white mask would go well. Pink Is Perfect For Which Occasions? Pink is pretty for playtime, after work.  Pink is for princesses. Her background is a white door. The white door matched the white jacket. The pink of the dress is echoed by the floor and the wall.  She liked the dress so much that she bought another, and a third. Where is this picture taken? Look carefully and you can see her arm reflected in a mirror. Is the mirror on the wall on her left - or in front of her, with the double ...
