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.

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