WIW - for a festive bestie dinner

Impromptu dinner and drinks with my two oldest & dearest friends tonight. Half price martinis and poutine -- yum!

I wanted to dress up just a little. Went with my faux leather jeans from Anthro, BCBG cobalt blue tunic, and Topshop booties. I don't wear this top very often, but I love the color.

Finished it off in a matchy way with the necklace I brought back from Italy for my mom 25 years ago, my Missoni scarf, blue backpack bag, and my leather-tipped grey coat. The coat is a little thin for how chilly it is, but I'm not out in the cold for long tonight.

Feedback always welcome!

Beautifully casually chic! The color of the blouse is smashing with your eyes and complexion.

Fabuolous, Janet. You wear cobalt sooo well. Were you warm enough in a blouse?

Loving the sentimental Missoni.

Great smart casual outfit. (and wow - it is 31 years since I had poutine just the once, in Quebec city - I didn't know it was sold outside Canada!)

Never had poutine but looks like it was Murano glass (?) you brought back for your Mom and it's lovely. You look great in this and the bag and scarf are perfect.

The blues are so perfect on you. Scarf is brilliant in itself too.

The cobalt blue is so gorgeous on you! And you are only the second person I've known who admitted to liking poutine.....the other is mr chris's bff who lives in Bangor Maine and grew up in Paris Maine.

I can see how you'd want that jacket, even if it wasn't quite warm enough. It has such a stunning profile, especially how you've styled it. My kind of outfit. And yes, cobalt is one of your epic colors.

Martinis and poutine, haha! Could life getting any better?
I love how you've accessorize this outfit. Very nice slightly dressy outfit.

Gorgeous! The cobalt blue is such a great pick for this outfit, it really pops.

I've never had poutine, but I've heard it's pretty tasty! It's a French Canadian thing, right?

The cobalt is a beautiful color on you. I prefer to pair cobalt and black too. I love the scarf and bag together.

So beautiful, Janet! You look amazing in cobalt. And the jacket is so sharp.

And I am so jealous...it was -12 C here yesterday and I was bundled in thermal layers, puffer, snow boots, scarves, hat....

I'm not sure why you don't wear that top more often, it looks stunning on you. I love these colours on you and the leather pants are very cool.

Hi Janet,
That blue top looks so beautiful on you. I have a top like that I would surely pair it with my Agolde black luxe jeans.
I have brought it from Denim Story.
