For a business event that is quite dressy, this ensemble below would be wonderful. And I particularly like this whole assortment of clothes, because it is all very suitable for those of us who do not have a well-defined waistline. Do remember, this much unrelieved black relies heavily on judicious and generous accessorizing to avoid looking monastic…You may not feel comfortable wearing a black dress to some occasions; I see them more and more at weddings – but of course now many brides dress their attendants in black, which opens up the possibility for the guests also. It’s all about how comfortable you will feel – that’s the only standard that ultimately matters.

Despite my summer ban on blogging I of course cannot resist yours, so devoured "Special Occasion-Black" then this one. Re the "Black", thought, Well of course I could dress like this if I had the cash to buy a Prada coat, and felt little pang that can't do that anymore. Then, read the "White" post with the Bean wardrobe and thought But these clothes don't light a spark in me (except for marinières). What is a woman to do? It's quite a challenge to find interesting, well-made pieces in the mid-range. I'm cheating my special occasion with a few hoarded pieces (original Halston, etc.) and vintage.

Instead of the Prada Coat I would do a wonderful cashmere wrap. More versatile and cost effective and easier to pack. Of course living in Florida, we don't spend for special coats….
The Prada is beautiful though….
