WIW: French Dinner. Ink and Black.

AM

Veteran

We're headed out to a French restaurant tonight. This will only be our third time there but we might have to become regulars. The last time we were there we dined at the bar. And I'm still thinking about what I ate:

Baked Snails in Snails’ Shell with Garlic Butter
Endives, Arugula, Beets, Walnuts and Blue Cheese
Fish Soup with Medley of Shellfish, Fish, Fennel, Saffron, Garlic & Rouille

Enjoy your evening. And eat well!

I included a PowerPoint Slide of this look. Ink and black are impossible to photograph (and my photos are never very good.)

Comments and suggestions welcomed. Of course...

I really like how you combined the ink and black...I am never sure how to do it to make it look intentional, but you have done a great job.

The last time I ate at a real French restaurant, it was in high school. I was scared to death to try snails, though some of my classmates were brave enough. You are making me want to try these dishes now that I am older!

Have a great time.

You look gorgeous! Love you in ink and black. Très soigné. That menu looks scrumptious.

Navy and black classics are perfect for a French dinner.
I hope this meal was as memorable as the previous one.

I went for the bouillabaisse... and it was divine.

Ruth M: Thank you. And I'm looking forward to exploring their entire menu.

Gigi: Thank you. And yes, you should definitely try snails...and keep trying new things. You never know. You might just discover a new favorite treat.

carter: Thanks. And I didn't even think of this as my signature look. I think of that for working from home/casual. But this is definitely a dressier version. Great food for thought.

Ceit: Thank you. Ink and black are staples in my closet (I don't feel comfortable in color). I just became okay with blue last fall.

Deborah: Thank you. I felt pretty elegant too!

Daria: Thank you. I'll take chic! And dinner was wonderful

Aliona: Thank you. Merci.

Sveta: Yes, memorable meal! Thank you.

I am a big fan of ink&black and your version is gorgeous. I have that same turtleneck in berry color and it is one of my favorite sweaters. Hope the dinner was delicious!

I agree with Ruth: tres chic! Understated elegance, and it's gorgeous on you. Sounds like a wonderful place for a dinner to savor.

Angie: Thanks. I've got BIG LOVE for ink and black, too.

Tanya: Thank you. And dinner was delicious! And I am really enjoying this asymmetrical turtleneck.

Firecracker: I like the "understated elegance" -- I'll have to remember that. And thank you.

It's a very French combination, isn't it. Also with the addition of white.

Angie: Would you add white? Scarf with some white in it?

I'm a little intimidated by this. But I must admit my wheels did start to spin. My photos stink. But then I was thinking I could have DH take some pictures outside. Okay. Okay. I'm in. I'll try for two next week. Yikes. Did I just commit? Yikes.

OH, dear sweet AM. You don't need to take pics outside at all. In the mirror at home is fabulous. Most participants do it that way, or stand in front of a tripod indoors. It's all good.

I really want to have better photos. And after spending all day of more purging, totally capturing another small bedroom closet for my clothes, and cleaning out my small-walk-in...well, it's time for the next project. Photography!

And wow great that I captured a small closet. I'm feeling very victorious!
