Camille Grammer, y'all!

This year on RHOBH, Camille's getting a better edit.
Last year, she was unpleasant but could dress. In fact, I'm thinking about doing this type of look for AKA conference party season. I do need a black evening bag with silver metal trim to keep things consistent. But I do have a black dress, hot pink wrap and hot pink shoes (Ralph Lauren Collection, not Loubous).

Marlo Hampton, werk!

I know she's a semi-RHOA cast member. But the style is fierce. Note the Louboutin pumps and the stylish ge(sic) gents with the Hermes belts escorting her down the stairs for a viewing party.

81 Degrees in SoCal

It's November 26 and a nice, sunny day. So today's outfit is made up of J. Crew lemon pulp featherweight cashmere sweater, Banana Republic aqua maxi dress, Giuseppe Zanotti bronze and crystal toe-ring sandals, Crislu CZ sterling platinum jewelry, my steel AKA watch and not shown, Cobe's Beverly Hills whiskey Birkin-style calf handbag. I do need to work on my posing and firmer shapewear, but on the other hand, I'm in my late 40s. At this age, weight settles in certain areas.

NPHC Salute To Service for Omega Psi Phi

Wearing an Ann Taylor ponte knit dress and slingback evening pumps. Not shown: Pink pashmina sweater and green J. Crew silk evening bag. I decided against going w/a purple dress. Didn't want to look like a groupie.

Catching up

Good day, all.

Lately, I've been lazy about posting but here we go.

This summarizes a couple of 'fits I've worn to occasions.

First one is what I wore to Restaurant Week in San Diego. The dress is Just Taylor Woman from Nordstrom Rack. Accessorized with Christian Dior flat sandals and Ann Taylor silver clutch (not shown).

Second is my birthday dinner outfit. Allegory Forth & Towne lace top, Caslon Nordstrom camisole, Seven7 Luxe jeans, Miss Trish of Capri sandals and J. Crew clutch. Also Kenneth Jay Lane cocktail ring and Nordstrom hoop earrings.

Carmen Lomana

Ms. Lomana is about 65, she is much thinner than I and obviously paler. But I still draw inspiration from her. Elegant, regal carriage. Pic source: The Fashion Spot.

#1 Pink and Green Stunna

A Tadashi Shoji misses (not plus) dress and Ralph Lauren Collection silk satin evening sandals for a sorority get-together. This was actually taken at Suite & Tender at the Se hotel, after the first party was done.

Daytime outfit

First daytime outfit. This is a Talbots Woman Tuileries suit. With it, wearing a J. Crew perfect-fit T-shirt, Manolo Blahnik sandals and Majorica costume pearl earrings. Not seen here is a Saks Fifth Avenue handbag.

Going away party on yours truly.

Here I am on this one. I don't know my measurements. The dress is an Ann Taylor misses 18. AT probably is vanity sized since it is a clothier for women 35+, a demographic that I'm solidly established in. On the other hand, I was wearing shapewear. The ensemble got a lot of compliments.

Birthday party outfit

Good afternoon!

There's a reason why I'm keeping this blog private. For my last outfit of my July social whirl, I have another David Meister Woman dress. Originally $508, I paid $50 and change for it at another Bloomingdale's sale.

Wearing it with a La Regale satin black evening bag and Giuseppe Zanotti satin black kitten-heel sandals.

I'm wearing it to a dear sorority sister's b-day.

Wedding outfit

In mid-July, I have a wedding to attend.

Planning to wear a David Meister Woman metallic dress that was one of my great Bloomingdale's finds. It was originally $500 or so, and I got it for $50.

Accessorizing with J. Crew gold mid-heel sandals and a J. Crew club green silk satin occasion clutch. I got over my phobia by looking at a JCG catalog that showed a model w/this clutch and suede shoes. You can mix satin w/leather.

The proposed outfit picture

July is a very eventful month for me. Last night was the first of five occasions I have coming up during the time.
This coming Friday, I have a going-away party for a friend. My planned outfit includes:
Ann Taylor dark brown silk chiffon dress.
Ann Taylor limelight "exotic" leather clutch bag.
Manolo Blahnik pewter sandals, which will be negotiated with Dr. Scholl's insoles. I am tall so I don't do 4-inch heels all the time.
