Am I the only one feeling the tennis or cricket sweater in a crisp white cabled cotton? It's fab quality and is an iconic classic. Comes in navy. I don't wear V-necks well, but thought the shallow shape could work if I filled the gap with a pile of pearls. I'll let you know.

If you like voluminous shirt dresses with an architectural flavour, this is an option. Comes in navy and emerald green. It's a LOT of dress so consider yourself warned. I have my eye on the navy.

This interesting navy lace beauty made it into my wardrobe as a more relaxed formal piece. It looks fitted, but it's fluid and A-line in person. VERY comfortable. It's also longer on me, which is my preference. The straps of the slip dress can be adjusted, which means you can wear it with a regular black bra. It has the daintiest and most refined lace collar, and pretty rouleau loop buttons on the sleeves. I shorten the straps of the slip dress so that there is a broader sheer lace edge at the bottom. I wear it with low-heeled gold loafers and big gold vintage Yorkie brooch. I LOVE it, and know it will come in handy when I need a dressy dress that isn't that formal.

I love the look of these refined mule-esque clogs and ordered them for Summer. They were too wide on my low-volume feet. But gorgeous and fab nonetheless, and I had hoped they would fit. The extra side coverage is a more secure fit on the foot. Comes in other patterns and neutrals.
