Me dressed in Lilly, a fancy mall, my favorite department store, lunch at my favorite department store...a very Prissy Day, yes ma'am!Today I had so much fun...lunch at one of my favorite places--Neiman Marcus. But it was even more special because I dined with a friend from waaay back...over 25 years ago. Gloria and I met when we both worked on the S.S. Norway--back in the day when people actually dressed up for dinner on a cruise ship! Today we had so much fun reminiscing about our ship days and Gloria actually brought along some photos of us...when we were young:)

"Here's What I Wore"...
I was going to get "all decked out," but with the rainy weather we've been having, I decided to go casual. I wore this cute little Lilly skirt--Sweet Blue Crabby Pattern, with the scalloped hemline...just love this skirt. The tee shirt is from Target or somewhere else, I can't remember. I wore a light blue cotton Lilly cardigan sweater, buttoned up. So Lilly...so summertime!

I accessorized the outfit with my pearl necklace and matching pearl stud earrings. My typical ponytail was adorned with a light blue ribbon. My shoes--blue-thongs, Flapper Scuba w/Havana, by Lilly--I bought these in Palm Desert, California about six years ago. I wore my Oyster Perpetual Rolex, my Cartier roll ring wedding band, and my "Return to Tiffany" silver bracelet. My nail polish was Palm Tree, by Christian Dior, and lipstick--Laser Pink, by Chanel. Fragrance of choice...Lilly Wink! Oh, my pocketbook...one of my favorites for the summer...it's by Billie Ross of the Palm Beaches.
I love this little summer pocketbook...
There's the Lilly Pulitzer store...
What a wonderful day! I have always loved dining at Neiman Marcus and lunch today at The Mariposa Restaurant was just beyond delightful. It's a great spot for "Ladies Who Lunch"! I simply must award this fine restaurant with my "Five Silver Spoons Award"!
MISS JANICE'S "FIVE SILVER SPOONS" AWARD--MARIPOSA RESTAURANT, NEIMAN MARCUS, BOCA RATON, FLORIDA!
I hope that everyone has a safe and enjoyable July 4th holiday. I'm off to prepare for a small dinner I'm hosting on Sunday evening. Thank you for stopping by today!
Your bag (and entire outfit for that matter) is to die for! I love all the restaurants in NM! However, I seem to frequent the Mermaid Bar. Glad you had a wonderful day with a great friend!
ReplyDeleteLook at how lovely you look. We don't have a Neiman's near us. It's a complete shame. I know I shouldn't say that because I work at Macy's but, it's just not the same. We used to have a small family owned department store that I worked at and it was wooden floors and a tea room. I loved it. But, they closed and left us with "the mall". I think I need to move to Boca!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you were able to connect with a good friend and enjoy lunch together. Your pocketbook is so cute and you made the outfit look marvelous!

ReplyDeleteOoooh, Miss Janice, the Billie Ross bag is utterly amazing, absolutely TDF! Goodness, gracious sakes alive, your entire post is wonderful! The color of your outfit is what we believe could be referred to as dreamy, and both photos of you two are darling!
ReplyDeleteSo glad the restaurant merited 5 spoons, anytime we're in one we are helpless before the popovers, simply devoid of any willpower.
Cute, cute post!
