Thanks to Mirjana for the inspiration! I can't do elegant like she does, but her post reminded me that I have these.. Perfect for a slightly cooler day. The top is some kind of crinkly stuff; the pants are comfy tie-waisted.

This is also my first black and white outfit this summer (I have been heavily into the navy) so this backpackish bag worked well.

These pants are short enough to demand flats, which I wore (mint suede loafers), but these are my house shoes in the pic.

I was also emboldened to wear white bottoms by DH's critique of the previous evening's outfit, worn to a concert. I've added the photo of the final version. Originally I had on a full navy skirt. He told me that dark on the bottom always makes me look wider! That surprised me hugely (I've always thought the opposite), but I didn't argue because it gave me an excuse to wear the white Uniqlo skirt. I'm still not convinced. What do you all think?

Bonus view of the bay from my walk this evening: sunset and moonglow.
