garden party
today’s special occasion alert is a daytime outfit fit for a fabulous ladies luncheon or bridal shower. think cucumber sandwiches, earl grey tea, and scones with butter and whipped cream. the skirt i have on for my ootd is made from ultrasuede, a fabric made famous by Halston back in the ‘seventies. i also have a dress made from this same fabric that i will feature at a later date. my boucle blazer is also tailor-made and is patterned after a classic chanel jacket. nude heels, several layered necklaces (i’m always a big fan of pearls), and a statement handbag bring this look together.

Lovely outfit and so perfect for a spring garden luncheon party. I can almost feel the lovely texture of your beautiful skirt. The soft colors speak volumes of quiet beauty.
Quite loving that wisteria bush as well. Have a wonderful day.

Just found your site and love it. As a woman of a certain age, I am always trying to be stylish, yet appropriate. Am telling my friends to “come and visit you”.
