Since I had just seen her in court the previous day, I didn't want to repeat my outfit. Fortunately, my jacket finally got back from the tailor:
I really should have steamed it... I'm hoping, since we were at a hibachi place, that nobody noticed.
I also broke out my Lane Bryant "Perfect Shirt". I have to say... it's pretty great. Modest neckline but will still show a necklace well, and no need to safety-pin at my check to keep it from gaping. Apparently, the neckline was still low enough for a hot chunk of veggie to land in my cleavage when I failed to catch it with my mouth... youch!
At least the gorgeous aubergine color was perfect for this delicate beauty...
...which I think I've only worn with my "princess shirt". I'm so glad I finally get another use for it! The sleeves are a bit long, but they fold up so nicely:
And a cheap pair of crystal studs to go with, but not overpower, my necklace:
I was feeling a bit festive, so I felt a bit more sparkle was needed:
I'm not accustomed to tucking shirts in, but I should get used to it... as part of my move to brush up my image:
It's really best with the jacket on... and I did keep it on the whole evening. Another pleasant surprise was that the suit works with a pair of shoes that I haven't worn in years:
