| Midnight ritual – French press and dessert |
Valentine's is not a night I usually go out. Alas, when My Man About Town checked his theatre tickets, he discovered they were for that evening. And who are we to turn our noses up at a night on the town?
As much as I love wearing red, I was in a a more understated mood. Well as understated as giant ruffles can be, I suppose. It's a rare night in Charleston when it is cool enough to wear velvet, so I took full advantage. I was feeling very 1975 London Biba in silk ruffles, velvet jacket, and velvet pants.
The first little touch of red came from these vintage glass beads – my mother's collection.
Next to my favorite box at The Dock Street Theatre, MM.
This little clutch is my go-to bag. The color reminds me of a cherry red Chevy. It's just large enough to hold my phone, keys, and glasses.
You just never know where you will make a fun fashion find. Can you believe this marvelous cuff bracelet came from the Cracker Barrel gift shop?
My Man About Town is dashing, and oh so Austin Powers, in his red velvet jacket. As usual, we don't tell each other what we are going to wear; we just show up and are delighted at how well we coordinate.
