(And yes, I wore pucci lace trimmed leggings and a pucci jacket to the track, with Prada sneakers and sequinned top - it is Vegas after all). Because why not, right?
That Pucci jacket is SO on point for the occasion. Such a “cool girl” look!
Thanks for posting! She looks so happy to be there. After watching the Crown, I don’t look at her the same way. Even though I’m very aware that it was a fictionalization of the past, she feels more personable.

I LOVE this show. It changed my perception of the entire family, especially Prince Philip.
 
Early morning for me tomorrow and work dictates my usual professional attire, nothing too dressy. So contributing early with my dress-up outfit worn for a dinner event, Chanel and DVF silk top.

This is so beautiful on you!!! Love love love it!!!

It’s Thursday somewhere, right? Day and night.

I had the opportunity to ride a couple of laps in a NASCAR race car on a speedway - so much fun!!! I was in awe of the skill of my driver and on the edge of my seat on some of the turns and straight ways.

How cool!!!! That sounds like so much fun (and a bit scary!) loved your Thursday outfits, too. [emoji254][emoji254][emoji254]

Ok a bit of a cheat as I am tired and won't be getting dressed until dinner. Last night Jack and my mom and I went to La Bohème at the Met. (DH was supposed to go but bailed, what a shock). We were meeting a group led by his main voice coach, who teaches at Juilliard and in a previous life played Mimi and Musetta in various productions. She did a workshop on the show last weekend as an Intro to Opera. He LOVES working with her but will not let her touch his pop/rock stuff so he lets her teach him classical.

Anyway, I LOVE an excuse to get really dressed. So I wore my red lace CH Carolina Herrera dress (ugh, I shortened it six inches and it was STILL too long!), rose gold jewelry, Constance wallet and finally got to wear my Jennifer Behr headpiece. My shoe choice was a disaster (kept catching on my dress and I have to put band aids on the underside as they rip up my feet - should find a replacement and toss!) but you couldn't see them anyway. Relieved to find that many people still DO really dress for the opera!

Photos taken after the opera and 1 1/2 hours of traffic. Ugh. Taken at like 1am.

PS the show was great but all the things that were "supposed" to happen artist-wise did not. Not a lot of chemistry between Mimi and Rodolfo. We decided they were extra nervous as it was being filmed.

BBC, c'est magnifique!
I’m skipping the dress up day. We went to a concert last night, Duran Duran. Too much champagne so I just pulled myself out of bed to go to a spa for a massage.

Very chic for a spa day, Sheikha! When I go for a massage I wear leggings, a t-shirt, and put my hair up with no makeup. My favorite celeb/socialite was at the concert last night too according to her Instagram story (sorry not sorry I’m a fan girl). Her name is Caroline Stanbury and I was obsessed with her when I watched her on Ladies of London on Bravo. She has since moved to Dubai for her husband’s job.
 
Another successful dress up day!
@cafecreme, you look so fresh and pretty. The weather was insane yesterday. I still walked around in boots, jeans and a black coat. My mind is not there yet. But at least I was outside with my fur girls soaking up the sun.
@Sheikha Latifa you really are stunning. I’m dying for the shoes. It’s all about simple with added drama. Perfect!
@BBC very glam!! I love that you really, really dressed for the opera and I’m thrilled to hear others were dressed too. I would love to see la Boheme or any good opera but my DH would never go even if he was able bodied. We went as a young couple and he was more entertained by the case of food poisoning going on below our box. :sick: I’ll have to recruit my DD or a girlfriend to see another.

@Genie27 you look great in all your photos. You are so brave to get in the car!! The Vegas outfit is awesome!!!

I had a lazy day at first and spent most of it in my workout clothes. At least I actually worked out. But since it’s Thursday, I dressed up for the remainder of the day in something easy but hope it will keep me in the club. :smile:Basically pajamafication in silk.

Dress-up Thursday!

I was slightly limited today as I had to wear show-blacks for the studio, plus I had to work in the dark so it was a real effort to find somewhere to take pics.

The first 2 are from a janitor/caretaker cupboard I found (no mirror in the restroom).

Nr. 2 because I couldn't get my green python, custom-made (yet little worn boots) in the mirror/pic.

I'm also wearing a black Margiela wool jumper (with 4 sleeves - shame you can't see it) Comme de Garcons skirt, H Tigre du Bengale 90, Nepalese wool hat and my mother's old rex coney jacket from the 1970s - completely unworn until I 'borrowed' it. Jewellery, Gold and tigers eye earrings, large modernist silver and peridot bangle and large silver and onyx Grape ring, all Georg Jensen.

I had to leave really early so make-up was just tinted moisturiser and black mascara.

The last pic is for @Genie27 , my glam shot with car. Although I can't even drive, and am even a very nervous passenger, I can still admire beautiful cars.
