That was fun! Loved your photo. As a semi-retired person, getting more ‘retired’ by the month, your look is mine, too.
Very nice! I enjoyed reading all the posts, yours especially.
You look great! and I’m wearing almost the same thing you are today–long cardi sweater in magenta, black tunic, dk brown ponte leggings, boots and a leopard scarf. Love your cardi by the way.
Nice scarf action!
Very cool! I also always enjoyed dressing for work for the 20+ years I was in the corporate world. I especially enjoyed the times I was seeing clients in Paris (and got to pull out my favorite Parisian wear – and no stockings in warm weather!).
I actually miss the necessity to dress (some of the time) – working from home means you can get lazy. Not necessarily a good thing!
By the way – love the boots!
That looked like a fun exercise…
Eileen Fisher unconstructed and simple shapes look great on you.
P.S. I saw Lisa there too!
I enjoyed reading your section on Already Pretty today. Merci!
gina – thank you! Glad you enjoyed.
Duchesse – seeing the picture up, I’m thinking I may have veered to far into the Casual Zone for a work environment. Still finding my way, I guess. But I do love this look; it’s comfortable, and a great palette to add accessories.
Rita@Goldivas – thanks so much!
frugalscholar – thank you! I really do like this silhouette. The cardi is Eileen Fisher too, and one of my “express lane challenge” pieces. I wear this one LOTS.
Tiffany – thanks! I think there’s such a wide variance these days with regard to what’s appropriate for business. I’m glad we have more leeway, but it also makes getting dressed for work like putting together a puzzle sometimes.
That’s Not My Age – thank you!
BigLittleWolf – oh, what I wouldn’t give to work in Paris and have the option for Parisian Wear! Thanks, the boots are from Frye.
hostess – thank you. I really do feel so much more *myself* in very simple styles. I think they are more timeless and make it easier to highlight favorite accessories.
Cybill – oh thank you; you are too kind!
Terri – thank you so much! I’m so flattered to be included in the same category as Lisa, as I really admire her style.
Great post. I work mostly from home, but occasionally have to work in-house with clients or go to meetings, so I certainly need to know how to dress the part when required.
Wow, that was a great read. You seriously looked about 20 years old in your photograph! Your skin is amazing.
You and Lisa stole the show in my book. I think this is the first time I’ve seen a full photo of you. Looking comfy and sleek.
Loved the full photo shot. You are stunning and a great read!
Wow1 I love the full photo shot, your hair looks fabulous! Are you naturally darker haired? it is really flattering.
Agree you looked super-youuung!
I had to do some quick math there since your references pegged you as a bit older than the barely-past-50 I’d thought…and the baby face staring back at me led to even more cognitive dissonance!
Plus it was a fun read, though I admit I was surprised to see you *that* casual given what you’ve written here. It looked good on you, mind, I was just expecting one of your more tailored + funky (aka “twisted”) looks.
Great job over there, MIss Pseu!
You looked great! Love the boots. And the haircut. And the general svelteness.
chère femme, may I ask you about your opinion on these pearls: Honora is the name of the brand and I fell for a denim-4-strand necklace from them. In Austria this brand is totally unknown. Would you recommend it? … in case you know it at all 🙂
Sal’s “get together” of different bloggers is excellent!
The Style Crone – thank you so much; you are very kind!
Joy – thank you! My natural hair color is pretty close to what you see here, just with a bit more grey!
Vix – thanks so much. I’ll be 54 in March. Actually, this ensemble is on the casual side for me too, and I’ll be addressing that in tomorrow’s post.
Miss Janey – thanks!
Paula – I’m flattered that you ask, but when it comes to pearls, I need to defer to Duchesse, who is our resident pearl expert.
LPC – aww, thanks!
Happy early birthday, then!
I’ll repeat myself to say the number-to-be looks damn good on you even in a crystal-clear photo.
Thank you so much for the tipp, I had NO idea, Duchesse is a if not “the” Duchesse of Pearls! 25 postings on pearls over there. What a pleasant surprise.
