I am invited to lunch tomorrow at an upscale restaurant here in the town I now live in western North Carolina. Small Group of a dozen or so, the person being honored is my son.

I am wearing a dressy black skirt, which I am dressing down. I am wearing a sleeveless lightweight knit top to make it a column of black.

I can't decide if to go for a summer look or early fall look.

-1- I can wear a white burnout sheer jacket for topper and a pair of low heel black and white color block Mary Jane type almost flat shoes or

-2- I have a lace cream dressy bomber for topper and a pair of brown and black Earthies by Earth flats (from last years NAS) in a very smooth suede finish. I don't think they are heavy looking, but would not wear them earlier in summer, but consider them O.K for early fall.

-3- Planning to carry a trendy red handbag with either choice, or maybe a black and white handbag if I wear the white. Planning to wear Ted Baker rose gold watch with red floral band. (Angie recommended this years NAS). And other selected jewelry after I decide which way I am going. Thank you so much. Leaving shortly to get a mani and perhaps shop for hose. Thank you so very much. Make any comment you care to. I am looking forward to your comments.
