It’s getting to be that time of year…
She LOVES a Party…
Which is a good thing because she goes to quite a few! This year, she’s keying all of her party outfits around her new bracelets…
She’s including navy in her plan because she can include jeans and navy pants that she already has! But she collects evening bags and is a sucker for a beautiful dangly, sparkly earring…
Her travel outfit is pretty restrained – as much as she likes to dress for a party, she also doesn’t want to be terribly gaudy and inappropriate in transit!
Cardigan – L.L.Bean; earrings – 1928; flannel shirt – L.L.Bean; bracelets – Fierce Lynx Designs; weekender bag – Baggallini; jeans – L.L.Bean; boots – Rockport
Packing is such a joy – this is what she’s taking with her:
Burgundy sweater – J.Crew; green earrings – Genevieve; malachite green cardigan – Boden; blue earrings – Genevieve; dotted sweatshirt – Boden; silk scarf – Jessie Zhao New York; bow earrings – Talbots; burgundy necklace – Talbots; burgundy evening bag – Nina; navy wool trousers – Boden; paisley cotton blouse – Boden; burgundy scarf – Elizabetta; blue evening bag – Nina; green bag – Patricia Nash; burgundy pants – J.Crew; navy velvet loafers – Bandolino; wine velvet flats – Kenneth Cole Reaction
She collects everything together the night before she leaves and is just a bit giddy at the thought of her upcoming long weekend of fun!
She ponders what she will do with this delightful assortment – everything from a “kind of relaxed” party after a football game (no, she’s NOT going to the game – she’s going to stay with the hostess and help prepare) to cocktails at a lovely restaurant that just opened:
Nothing over the top – just warm, bright, cheery holiday dressing!
I could do this…

Janice
p.s. Ten years ago, we looked at red coats – never a bad idea!

It made me smile:) A nice start to a cloudy day.
One precaution (from a woman with more Fierce Lynx bracelets than she can count): Backpack straps can rub the bracelet when you take the pack on and off. I’ve stopped wearing the bracelets in transit because I don’t want to break one.
Ardyth (and anyone else who experiences a break), I will happily restring any of my bracelets free of charge if you ship them back to me. I just ask that you cover postage, or I can ship them with a new order if you make one. I know that despite our best intentions, the stretch cord can break. It is the downside of not using clasps, but not having to fiddle with clasps is more than worth it in my books.
That is very kind of you to offer!
So pretty and so wearable. Just the right balance.
I just love this! It’s a festive ‘on the casual side’, but clearly festive. All pieces look cozy, practical and yet incredibly fun. That polka dot sweater from Boden may be a must need for me! I love that it screams holidays, but I could see myself wearing this for St. Patrick’s Day too!
Well done!
This is such a clever approach to travel + party dressing. The clothes aren’t specifically party clothes but they are party-ready with the accessories. Also, I love that the colours are jewel tones but are slightly muted.
That blue paisley blouse is so lovely as are her accessories!
On the housekeeping side, I followed many of the links and noticed that the Macy’s items all have a “not available” note on them. Perhaps their site is undergoing technical issues now. Hopefully, they’ll get it fixed quickly today.
I wear very little jewelry, but I always admire these bracelets. Always an excellent combination of colors and stones. And, of course, this little set of clothes is also great, if also not quite my style. Except for that flannel shirt! 😍
