Today I am going back to my regular posting with the outfit that I wore last night to a girl's night out to celebrate my best friend's birthday.
We were going to a nice restaurant in Soho (100 acres, that I really recommend if you are looking for a casual place with a very good NYC vibe and delicious food) and it has been so long since the last time that I went out with friends downtown that I actually don't know anymore what people wear.
Anyway, I knew that I wanted to wear my moonbeam blazer from last year, that I got after the holidays and didn't get much wear. It looks great with the curator pants but I was going for a more casual outfit so I wore it with jeans, a la Jenna.
This is the first version of the outfit as I tried it on (I apologize for the blurred and grainy pictures, I used the twilight setting):
My husband used the words "horrendous from head to toes", which didn't discourage me because I wasn't going out with him anyway. Strangely he didn't comment on the cleveage exposure, which is the reason why I ultimately changed my top for a chaster one:
I also changed my shoes at the last minute because I was taking the subway and I had to walk a few blocks and the heel of the crackled mary-janes was too high to walk comfortably. I also added a sparkly necklace and asked my husband what he thought and he said that it didn't make the outfit worst than it was already, which I took as a compliment. I personally loved the outfit but I know that it is not his style, he loves more classic stuff.
In any case I had a lot of fun and we joked all the evening about "taking a lo-ver" because my best friend who spent Thanksgiving in Paris met a French woman, married and with three kids, that was bragging about her new lover. These French women, they can take a lover without regrets and they don't get fat (maybe that's the real secret of their not getting fat)!
I also want to share a cute the outfit that I wore this morning to volonteer at the book fair at school. The top is the silk polka-dots tee (that I bought recently from a JCA for cheap) and the sweater is the cashmere shawl sweater in navy:
I thought it was a little bit dark, so I added a necklace for a bit of sparkle (I don't remember how it was called, crystal ball necklace maybe?):
I thought it was really cute. I gotta go now!
Are you taking a lover?
I literally LOLed at your husband's commentary and about "taking a lover." I kind of love the easy going attitude.
ReplyDeleteI like both of your outfits.
Don't you hate it when husbands are so brutally honest but so very wrong?! My husband will at times make a face and say, hmm, not too good. Horrendous from head to toe, I disagree! I love your girls-night-out outfit.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely not as I only have eyes for my husband! My first husband was a very bad husband which makes me really appreciate the good one I have now.
ReplyDeleteBut LOL at that French woman, I bet her husband also has a lover so why not, is this the norm in France?
Your husband really doesn't hold back with the comments and once again he is cracking me up!
Of course I think you looked smashing.
