Huh. Just realized I have no dressy tops!

So the jumpsuit I posted about the other day was a bust (waaay too short in the legs). DH and I are going out for dinner for our anniversary pretty much as soon as I step off the train, so I won't have time to change clothes, and will probably need to wear whatever I'm wearing out on the train. For me this means jeans.

This should be easy, right? Smart casual dinner = jeans, fancy top, topper, maybe heels and a clutch. Except I seem to have purged all of my "fancy" tops! Grr. Well, I have one, but since I wear it all the time it doesn't feel very special, you know? Grr.

At least now I have something to shop for!

I think that's a good reason to shop! Hope you find something nice.

I'm in pretty much the same boat. I have been improvising with a cami or a tank and a cardigan over the top.

Right now, I think I have one dressy top. And it is sleeveless with a deep neck, so it is not appropriate for every outing! I have been desperately looking for a silk button-down top that doesn't have huge pockets on it and doesn't have nylon or polyester incorporated into the material. I want the real deal!

Aw, too bad about the jumpsuit. If you don't have time to find the right top, you could wear special jewelry for the anniversary dinner. It could dress up your tried and true look and/or lend a sentimental touch to the outfit.

As it turns out I've been instructed to wear a dress but dressy tops are definitely going on my shopping list. I'm not sure what kind I even want, except maybe some sort of beaded or sequinned tank top to wear with a jacket. Yet another one of those never ending quests, I fear!
