OMG, Rachy, that dress is missing in my closet! Please send it to me ASAP. Really! No wonder you've been asked about hot dates, because you look simply gorgeous today.

Rachylou: "I am so quirky that I don't think I could find either in a store that sold nothing but LBDs and pearls."
Truly LOL!
I love your take on the look. You look terrific in that dress, with the pumps, pearls, and sunglasses. Not willowy? Who are you kidding?

Sona, your party dress is beautiful on you! The jewelry is a perfect addition.

I'm posting first before reading others, so I know I have a lot of treats in store for me and can't wait to see 'em!

George Peppard stole my heart in his dapper suits, so my initial take was to combine Holly and George. I donned flats and a ballet top a la Audrey, and vest/necktie a la George. After putting the whole outfit together, I balked a bit at the linen vest, it seemed at odds with the black jeans, like the whole thing was too casual. (However, looking at the photos now, I really like it!)

So I bid George a fond farewell and embraced my inner Holly, adding pink pearls, oversized sunglasses, and a trenchcoat. It's a very comfortable outfit and I got a compliment on the pearls.

A local spa has a restroom done all in "Breakfast at Tiffany's". It has little blue Tiffany boxes around the room, black and white wallpaper, and a large goblet filled with pearls. So feminine and fun!

Thanks, Ornella! Off to read the others now!

Sarah :: for ETA - what a clever trick with the handbag. And I am not surprised you had been showered with compliments.

Firecracker :: I love this type of neckline and I also love reading when un-obvious details such as this become starting point for the outfit. I think I've learnt more about your style in this challenge than on any previous occasion, each outfit is so beautiful, but so consistent. You are our Queen Sleek, I adore your unfussy lines and timeless elegance.

Una :: Impractical it may be, but you have great blingy option to dazzle Keanu if he comes Alaska way. And sooooo clever - CAT-eye makeup, LOL!

MaryK :: my jaw dropped. That first photo. Every single piece is perfect and those pants - omg! I am at a loss for words for the first time for your outfit - ever. My favourite outfit of yours, ever ever ever. This is just spectacular.

Rachylou :: you are a true sport for playing, since the inspiration look did not speak to you. But, this is super and you had me in stitches with the quirky and LBDs/pearls, topped with hot date comment.

Julie :: I adore your inner Holly and totally get why you too got so many compliments today - the pearls and sunnies lift the whole thing to simply glamourous. The soft color of the top suits you so nicely.

Ladies, ladies, ladies, we really need to all get together for a "Breakfast" party. It would be so much fun. I do not own an LBD but I have a wonderful Tadashi skirt so I put it on. Decided to add the hat, well, because Holly wore hats.

Oh, what fun! JulieJohn, I love your different amalgams of characters! And Deb, that HAT! Rachy, you are a hoot as always. Is there a store that sells nothing but pearls and LBDs?

If this thread cannot single-handedly prove that LBD is the best invention of the twentieth century, I don't know what can.:)
Here is my contribution. Again at the end of the day and quite rumpled - sorry!

Oh I love seeing all the interpretations! You gals are so imaginative and dang, I totally forgot about the sunglasses!

I LOVED seeing Rachy and Una in dresses, period! And then elegant ones to boot. Rachy, you have the silhouette nailed!

Ingunn, classic elegance as usual! Lovely but I love seeing how you would really wear the dress. I do mine as a 'under', ie under blazers, rather than over like you. else I never wear it.

Ornella, loving all the ways you can style that look! You certainly played today!

Mary K - tiffany blue? now that is the most original! (love your chair BTW)

Tracy, Caro- well, yup, we are twins...same thoughts! Although I didn't do the trench..and I even have a black one.

Sarah, Amiable - fun to see you gals in dresses....and even black. Don't think i have seen that much before?

Shevia -too much fun! Love those poses, and you look elegant in anything!

Astrid! Adorable! and the same to you Diana!

Van Dies---woman, you put me to shame in that turtle! I was kinda surprised you didn't do LBD? Guess I assumed you had one because you are always so classic.

Joy - I just love the tux look, that is excellent! You and Firecracker do elegant trouser outfit so well!

Hey Deb! Way to find a solution with a skirt!

and JulieJohn! fun to see your thought process in action.. this is so much fun!

"We're alike, me and cat. A couple of poor nameless slobs."

That's exactly how I feel about today's challenge. I'm really struggling with Audrey/Tiffany's - as my schedule and my mood is not "feeling" the LBD and pearls - or any variation/creative inspiration around the LBD and pearls! So, I dressed for what I need to do today - work part of the time at home, and part of the time at the animal shelter. Tux, with tails jacket, tee, jeans, and tennies. I wore black - as a nod to the LBD - and couldn't resist the "cat" tee.

This challenge is really giving a good workout to everyone's creative skills in dressing.Yesterday we were in space today we are fit for Tiffany.
Although most of us opted for the black dress and trench the different interpretations show the different personalities of each member.
I also loved all the other interpretations, everybody looks very classy.
My outfit for Day 3 was actually worn on the night of Day2, thankfully I had a fancier do, otherwise I wouldn't be able to wear a dress.
I am sorry about the bad lighting, the trench is actually a very different shade of pink.

Thank you Ornella for organizing this challenge, it has been lots of fun.

Inspired by the shift, except I don't own a black shift! The lines of the tank top with the straight black skirt aren't dissimilar however...and there is the green in the poster. A bit far fetched? Needed a sweater for work, since the temps today did not get above freezing.

Oh, wow! I can't believe how many more great outfits were posted. You all looked completely awesome! I love this challenge.

Might not get to post pic till tomorrow (I'm on call tonight) but here's the text:

Short sleeved fit-and-flare LBD. Ballet flats with bare legs (can't stand hose) and outside in the cold/rain, heeled kneehigh boots.

For the kitty on her shoulder I am wearing my leopard print cardi with 3/4 sleeves.

Hair in a French twist. I don't do bling, but I was going to wear my rhinestone encrusted hair clip--if I could find it.

Loving this and wish we all could go to breakfast!!!

At mid 80's I didn't even consider adding my trench coat, but wish now I had as I own tan, black & red!

So glad Ornella organized this and so many of us participated to make it so Fabulous!

So many amazing looks and lots of fun is being had!
I went for LBD, although my sheath is a bit tight and it was quite hot today so I went for a fit and flare. I added a khaki BB blazer (for coverage at work and to represent the trench that is not in my closet and would not have been weather appropriate today - oh Burberry why didn't I buy you in NYC??? because I'm too cheap that's why) I added Lifestride black/leopard pumps,an enormous pearl necklace (I am of a certain age so pearls are allowed and rhinestones would have garnered more looks at work than the dress and pearls did) I tried to bump my hair a bit, but was not successful. I added my Fendi black sunnies and Voila. Mommy Golightly. DH felt it was a bit dressy for work, but I didn't care.
My cat would not cooperate, but I'm glad to see other named cats represented today.

Today's outfit was inspired by the white background with stripes of color in the poster. I also color blocked / bookended my black top/ink blue lightweight sweater with black square-toed shoes. My original intent was to wear my black 3/4 sleeve jacket (more Audrey Hepburn-ish), but the jacket is very lightweight and it just wasn't warm enough today. To throw in some Audrey-ness, I added a pearl necklace and earrings. I am also wearing nude micro-fishnet hose.

What fun this challenge is! It's getting me to put together items of clothing that I normally wouldn't have. (Pearls with this outfit? No. Would have been a funky green necklace instead.)

Not more than 2 seconds after walking in the door at work was when I got my first compliment. Happiness factor - way over 100%!

Deb, I love your dress and hat! (It must not have been so windy today!)
Juliejohn, you look so carefree and pretty in that purple sweater, pearls, and sunglasses.
Natalie GP, you look fantastic in the dressed up and dressed down Holly Golightly-inspired looks. You have all the pieces--even the cat mask! Impressive.
Bella, you look so chic, and you even got to have an evening out in the outfit. How fun is that?
Runcarla, I like your take--a two-piece, half-green LBD! You look mahvelous.
Jjsloane, that dress, with the pearls and pumps, is so pretty on you. What a perfect day-to-evening look.
Karie, you look simply elegant. That skirt does remind me of the poster design!
Rae, I'm glad to see you in the cherished cat blouse. It is so pretty; now I see that raw-edge detail on the front placket and the subtle coloring on the cats. Love it!

So many great outfits, how to compliment you all!

I will just say GoldenPig - you were made for those looks! Dang girl, you are Hepburn personified. And your baby is the most amazing accessory!

Ornella, I loved your looks as well, so pretty and so many creative ideas. Plus you have the GLOVES! Sigh. I love your b/w pointy shoes so much too.

Una, what a pretty look on you. Glam suits you as well as scuffed boots. You are a woman of many parts.

Ingunn, I really liked your "color" interpretation, maybe because that occurred to me too. You do rock the LBD like nobody's business, girl! And those orange pumps are so different but you wear them with true panache.

Deb :: you look absolutely wonderful. Your skirt will disappear as soon as you leave it unattended when I come anywhere near your area. And what gorgous top to go with it, this in fact looks like two-piece LBD to me.

bella :: I could wear your look every day, beautiful. And, again, you are right - this thread sings the highest praise to LBD. What confuses me is how come we never explored this specific garment on its own.

Marley :: I knew we could count on you and your take on the kitties. Adorable, all of you.

Natalie :: having fun perhaps? No way I could pick a favourite in this round.

celia :: you showcase why simple is sometimes the best. This is wonderful style of dress on you, and like bella you have me drooling over the red trench.

Runcarla :: nothing is far fetched, our goal is to be inspired by. I love your take, classic and streamlined, with a dash of spring-y green thrown in and gorgeous shoes.

Jjsloane :: *plonk* Spectacular! I think you have this years YLF NY ball outfit covered (you'll organise it, won't you?)

Karie :: such original take on the poster, no wonder you got compliments. I also love the term you coined - Audrey-ness.

Rae :: I knew it! I was waiting for your cat-inspired WIW. What a great blouse.

Everyone looks amazing today. Wow.

It's funny. I put on my LBD with the pearls and heels and felt a bit "costumey." Even though I could see it didn't look that way. It's just that it is so formal for the life I actually live, even when my dress is so much simpler than Audrey's.

Yet looking at the pics, I think -- yup. I could do that. If the occasion called for it, I could do it and feel great.

Here's what I would have worn if I were breakfasting with Audrey, complete with my mother in law's pearl watch and my mother's 1960s gold clutch.

And then there's what I actually wore. Audrey-esque black skinnies (waving to Rae), a Breton boat neck (waving to Ingunn), a scarf that echoes the colours of the poster's border, and a bracelet and earrings that do the same.
