What to Wear: Hat Luncheon

Posted By: KK on 04/29/09 7:29 AM | Categories: What to Wear

A friend called who is going to a hat luncheon next week for the Central Park Conservancy.  She has a suit picked out, but since the temp was 90° last week in New York, she wanted a cooler choice.  We shopped our site and found this floral patterned sheath in our Wedding Page and paired it with a simple but dramatic hat and accessories from our Luncheon Page.  This entry would also be a very good outfit for the Kentucky Derby which is running on Saturday,  May 2, Post Time – 6:00pm. 

Let us know what you think of our choices and don't forget to have a look at our Luncheon Section!

What to Wear: White Before Memorial Day and After Labor Day?

Posted By: KK on 04/20/09 5:25 AM | Categories: What to Wear

White clothing and jeans before Memorial Day?

KK:  I am a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to white in season.  I will wait until Memorial Day to break out the white whites and put them away on Labor Day.    Cream is a different story and a great color for in-between season.

J. Crew Matchstick White Jeans,  $98.00

The perfect white jeans!  We suggest getting a size down from your usual one.

Georgiana:  Love the idea of winter white.  As long as they aren’t bright white, cream colored dresses or skirts in a heavier material are fine by me.  White wool pants or corduroys are also great and once the temperature hits 70 degrees, so are white jeans, even pre-Memorial Day.

Lara: I think it really depends on the fabric and color of the white item in question.  Bright white, summery cottons and linens tend to look out of place in pre-Memorial Day months.  Yet winter creams in cashmere can look quite chic.  Depending on the climate, white jeans are acceptable, year round.
