I wore this outfit out to a couple back to back events in New Orleans on November 27, 2009. The first event I was going to be in a room full of dignitaries (Senators, Congressman, Mayors, City Council people, etc.) The second event was a “Who’s Who” event with more dignitaries and a few more younger, contemporary business people peppering the room. Both events were super nice, but my dilemma was what to wear to both.
I already had the pants from Target which I love because they have front side pockets, side tabs and button flap back pockets ($25) The blazer came from Walmart’s George line, it’s lined and I only paid $15 for it. The blouse I purchased from Love Culture and I just thought it was cute ($17). I’m a huge sucker for a cute top. HUGE. And the back of the top is the cutest. Too bad it was too cold to take my jacket off. The “shooties” I recently purchased and had never worn them out until these events. In other words, they were hardly broken in. BIG MISTAKE. I was out of them and into a pair of ballet flats before I even got to the 2nd event.
Overall, I thought it was a nice, subtle alternative to a stuffy pant suit.
Love the blouse
