The decorative onions. They remind me of sparklers, Mother Nature’s sparklers. It’s a good thing they look great because they smell, well, like an onion.

It’s Friday and bye-bye Spring is here. Have a wonderful weekend!
I can’t tell you how gratifying for someone like me who rarely lets go an acquisition of a stylish nature to finally find a solution to a very beloved dress after purchasing it sixteen years ago. I was a little giddy after getting my Masters in Education at the age of 53 (yes, I was the only grandmother in our Master’s class) and went on a mini-buying spree. One of my “things” was this gorgeous, but sleeveless, velvet dress with large Ibises. I would freeze in it and only wore it twice. However, this year, I decided to put a thrifted lace J.Jill top under it and, wow, it worked for me! I could never give up on this gorgeous dress that I found on the Boston Museum of Fine Arts catalogue (I use to order a lot from them). There’s something about this dress that reminds me of the 19th century Pre-Raphael style and so hunted out all my romantic gold jewelry.
Up to date-I wore this last night when Rachelle and I saw the Lyric Opera’s production of Mozart’s Così fan tutte which was costumed around 1915 which is one of my favorite eras (think Downton Abby) and it was just gorgeous.
And for all you wig lovers out there, my style of choice for this evening is Kendall by Henry Margu in color 8/27/33H.

Hello and happy hump day Wednesday. I was working in the library and it seemed to be a good time to try out my new Norma Kamali swing jacket, which is black, of course, with my “made my me” linen pants. It was raining cats and dogs outside so went with some shoes that I thought could take it; Ann Klein black patent oxfords.
Hair is Claire by Noriko.

Good morning-It's traditional as you go-a LBD and pearls-as least for me it was.

Happy International Women's Day! Can tell what one of my favorite colors is and my favorite dog? Yes to purple and my beloved Poodles. My Bob Mackie silk scarf and mod Poodle pin were both scored on eBay auctions years ago. I guess I go through phases and one of them was collecting vintage Poodle pins and vintage Poodle silk scarfs.
I like to keep my base simple so I can add fun and colorful accessories. This boyfriend black wool jacket has seen its duty this winter because of what I can design around it (plus it just won’t warm up!). Have a great weekend and I hope you have a restful and safe one.
By the way, the hair for today is “If You Dare” by Raquel Welch in Iced Lavender (yep, more purple). Rachelle and I were catching the Napoleon show at the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art again before it leaves this Sunday. It took me three trips to really feel like I saw it thoroughly and I loved this show.
Check out the second photo and see who we saw as we were leaving!
Take care everyone; see you later.
