Because one has, after all, responsibilities, and one has, after all, a deep love for information, here’s what my silk blouse outfit looked like in situ. Or, in medias res, if you prefer. All archaic phrases welcome.
Also, I have blue eyes.
- Blouse: Vince
- Pants: Dries van Noten, 2020
- Shoes: Jimmy Choo, 2013 (similar, with higher heel)
- Necklace: Unknown enamel artist, some century that is not this one. My mother’s, and possibly a grandmother’s but that provenance is lost in the sands of time
- Earrings: Hiding in my hair, decades old, similar here
Pants in a jacquard weave; necklace features a drawing of two people with strange limbs and random headgear. At the very least, for me, the level of visual interest/texture is constant across the whole outfit, flap and sheen, ornamentation, squiggles–like a musical rhythm. Enough. It’s just clothes.
But, clothes that work for me, to use a phrase not yet archaic. Comfortable, casual in construction/luxurious in materials. Such is the way.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend. May we somehow find peace and concurrent justice.

You look great! Perfect blue shirt, perfect black pants, shimmery shoes, shimmery hair – and I’m sure there is a female ancestor of yours somewhere in Heaven exclaiming with delight that you have found a perfect occasion to wear that rococo enamel necklace – and wearing it with flair!
Shine on, silver girl …
Aw, thank you:). We all owe some tribute to our ancestors, right?
You look so sophisticated and classy.
Thank you! Sophisticated might be my fave compliment of all time:)
Pray tell…where is this lovely ensemble taking you???
Ah. A Diwali party, that has now been postponed but not cancelled.
I really love this ensemble! And I love the vintage/antique jewelry with provenance.
Thank you! The concept of provenance runs in such a deep vein.
Beautiful embroidery at the bottom of the silk pants! Very relaxed but chic outfit.
Thank you so much! Relaxé forever!
What a wonderful ensemble and you look fabulous!
Thank you:). I also got a hair cut and had lowlights put back in, so, hair accomplice!
Beautiful Lisa! And the shoes do look great. Like SusanD – love that the jewelry has provenance. I hope your party doesn’t get canceled…..xoxo
I was even going to write in the post, the shoes may still look off but I think they’re OK:). I hope a party, some party, will materialize this year.
Great outfit Lisa! Love your hair and of course the blue blouse.
Thank you, Camilla. I do think of this blue as your color!
Looking very elegant and relaxed…love the details….fabric and embroidery. The antique pendant necklace looks great and adds a nice touch.
Hope you get to enjoy the Diwali gathering soon.
With any luck, it’s the little touches, right? Happy winter holidays to you!
You were right. Those shoes work perfectly – that bit of crystal makes all the difference. Shine on!
Shine on indeed:). Thank you.
Beautiful!
I love dressing up but I don’t really like going anywhere…
Thanks, for the kind words but also for a much-needed guffaw. Have a dinner party and invite me, I’ll dress up;)
