My outfit doesn't conform exactly to any of the (amazing) inspo pics from Angie's blog post (all of which I really loved) but it is what I wore tonight for a shared belated birthday celebration (for me) and a big brava for our adult kid, who recently won a literary prize. :).

J. Crew cashmere polo (ink navy, not black, BTW).
Anthro flocked menswear trousers (ink again, with black velvet flocking).
Ecco boots, black patent.
Brave belt.
Save the Duck puffer.
Pom Pom London bag.

Lanterns in Chinatown, where the restaurant is located -- CNY parade here today! The restaurant is also Chinese inflected.

I love these pieces because they are casual yet sooooo luxe in feel. While the outfit is mostly monochrome, the bits of silver, the ponyhair silver/ grey belt, and the pearls plus patent boots (and the contrasting pearlescent oyster or abalone jacket -- when I was outdoors) give it the dynamism I enjoy. Super easy and comfortable and very "me" yet also dressed up enough for a winter night.

Thanks for looking!
