I chose a plain black dress by Adrienne Vittadini. The only floofy part was the sequins that were embedded in horizontal seams all up and down the front of the dress. They were inset, so the sparkle was very muted and not at all flashy.
On top, I wore a gorgeously tailored jacket by Thierry Mugler. More details below.
I got my shoes in the TopShop pop-up section in Nordstrom.
Here is the back of the jacket - it even has an hourglass shape on the hanger.
And the front - when zipped up, this jacket does marvelous things for your figure. It also has a high spandex content, so there's a double body shaping whammy.
This costume necklace has every metal tone you can think of, which makes it very versatile.
On my right arm, an onyx spaceship ring and two Austrian crystal bracelets.
On my right arm, a mother of pearl spaceship ring and a freshwater pearl bracelet.
For lunch, we had a pasta bar - for $5.50, you choose noodle (bowtie) meat (sausage) sauce (marinara) and two veggies ( mushrooms and artichoke hearts). You get a parmesan plank and some parmesan on top. Yum.
Today, the wearin' o' the green. This is a Dalia Collection cowl neck silk top and Iman Global Chic slinky pants.
On top, a velvet sporty jacket from XOXO.
As I stretch my chicken neck skyward, you can see my lapis necklace.
On my left arm, two stretchy bracelets and a sapphire ring.
On my right arm, a seraphanite bracelet and another sapphire ring.
