OOTD....what I wore to the market.

Today I am off to the Market as we have company coming for dinner.
I plan to serve steak, sauteed mushrooms, baby potatoes dressed with butter and freshly chopped mint, steamed asparagus, and a homemade rhubarb pie for dessert.
Fall is on the horizon...
there's a chill in the air and some of the leaves are already turning their autumnal shades of orange and sienna.

I adore my Hermes scarves but every so often I like to mix it up.


Love the dab of orange.

    I really like your navy and orange. It's one of my accent combos for travelling. Navy, orange and brown go well together. Your dinner sounds delicious. I made ratatouille tonight as this is squash season.

    Once again - perfect dinner ( one can always skip the meat ). Two portions of dessert for compensation ( this time only ).
    Did you go to a special store to do the shopping ; I mean - dressing up and all ?
    You should see me buzzing around here locally dressed in my regulars. If I " must " go to the store, I wear my riding pants and it is totally ok over here.
    I´m sure you had a wonderful evening!

      No special store. I shop mostly on Oak Bay Avenue, a neighbourhood close to where we live.

    I love your outfit and your menu.

    I went to a black and white party the other night. Wouldn't that be right up your alley? Hostess, it was so funny. Everyone complied except for one lady. The guests of honor were wearing true red so they would stand out. It was a surprise for them. The one lady had on all black with a brilliant blue jacket. Boy did she stand out!

    It surprises me when people say they can't wear black or white because everyone looked fantastic. My girlfriend's red dress was AMAZING. There was lots of dancing.

    I know your friends will love your dinner party.

    You are one of the fabbest marketers I know!

    And dinner sounds delicious - I'm only surprised by the asparagus as I am in the habit of saving that for spring. I suppose why not eat it as we approach fall?:)

      I harvested the rhubarb from our back garden. It is a hardy plant and seems to go forever. I love it with coconut bliss ice cream too, just a wee dollop though.

    Very nice... and perhaps a suggestion: the logo front and centre would not be so chic for a Parisienne as tucked to the side or back, Someting to try if you wish.

    The Lanvin scarf looks fabulous! Hermes is not the be all, and end all in scarves; although I have more than my fair share of them. lol.
