Thank you.

International Women's Day is not until 8 March.

I will have to mark my calendar to wear an outfit with those colors

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!!!



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.

I am selfie challenged. Sparkles thanks to Missoni are the theme. Isabel Marant wool peplum coat in garnet, black perforated and fringed booties.
Ladies, I need help with the terms again; perforated is oxford? Or wingtip? You taught me and now I forgot! Fringed along the top of the foot is called kiltie?

Thank you! I seem to either have to choose an “upper half” photo or “lower half” photo unless I can find a mirror. I have to mention that I really adore the boots/sink photo. There’s something very cool about that shot. Of course the green boots themselves need no words, I am very happy to see them after hearing of them and imagining.

You look good no matter what you wear. Those shoes are fabulous. Omgosh, Duran Duran, you're too young to know Duran Duran.

Are you joking?! I’m turning 48 this year, Duran Duran was my teenage years

Thank you for the nice words ladies. I’m relieved that someone likes my shoes because my family hate them. I love the soft fox lining, they are so kind to my feet and so comfortable

Dharma, love the coat. Will need to look closer at DVN
PT, I always admired people who could put together outfits in such a stylish way. I could never do this

I think your family must be just teasing you, they look magnificent. Who are they by?

and thank you, I was actually going for 'elegant conceptual' in my mind but rather ended up 'Arctic Sevie Nicks' in practice, still felt really happy. Off to play some Tusk.

Really? Very proud you think so.

On the way to work a Russian insisted and gave me his seat.

Horrible man pushed me and tried to trip me on the way home at the station. He was even more upset when I was too quick for him and jumped over his leg. So he called me a 'female dog' and once at a safe distance (coz I was feeling this guy's crazy vibes) I went "woof, woof".

Looking a certain way affects others in strange ways.

I am laughing at the thought that he might have actually yelled "female dog!" LOLOLOL. People should start doing that.

The experience with the horrible man sounds scary. I love your pluckiness with the woof woof.

One of the most brilliant things I ever heard was "When you see crazy coming, cross the street." Of course the person who told me that did so because he thought I was crazy, but it was been real wisdom for me in terms of trying to avoid people who are crazy in any way.
