I don’t always wear head-to-toe black and pale pink and carry a Kate Spade bag, but when I do…I just own it. I’m a sophisticated lady, dammit. Now make me a gimlet and bring the car around. (How great would it be if I dressed up really fancy and hired a chauffeur for the day to drive me around in my 10-year-old Nissan? I would also wear giant sunglasses and hold a candy cigarette.)

I know you all visit this blog because you want to learn to be a classy broad like me, so consider this your master class for the day. Bows. Chauffeurs. Candy cigarettes.

This was my very first time wearing ankle boots with a maxi dress. I know. Such an exciting life milestone. I really wanted a springy Sunday Funday outfit to wear to brunch and to the new beer garden at the art museum’s greenhouse. But I also knew it wasn’t going to be that warm, plus all my wedges are still in storage. I wasn’t sure how it would look, but I think it’s pretty cute! Flowy with chunky – who knew? Well, the other woman I saw at brunch who was wearing almost this identical outfit. She knew. She will take over my blog starting tomorrow.

Speaking of firsts, you’d think Sunday was my first time being out in the sun, because later that night I discovered I was sunburnt on just the bottom three inches of my forearms. Super sexy.

So what did we learn today? Ankle boots can look good with long skirts, and I am completely inept at life.
