For a lecture early this evening in NYC by actress Judith Light, I put together this outfit. It's unseasonably hot -- 80 degrees -- so I had to go lightweight. You can't see in this picture, but I have a short sleeve, chiffon-edged black tunic top trimmed with shiny black pailettes under the jacket. And I added a flowered necklace of white gold/tiny diamonds to the two strands of shiny black onyx at the neckline. In addition to the pin you can see. Honestly, I don't know if this is minimalist or maximalist. I'm pretty sure if I added my peacock Givenchy Pandora bag it would take it into maximal territory. But if I go with my absolutely plain 35-year-old Coach patricia bag? What do you think? Which category am I in with this one?
