Stay tuned…special guest appearance at the end of this post.

If you’ve hesitated to buy a “le smoking” tuxedo-style jacket because you’re concerned that it could only be worn for dressy occasions, maybe this will reassure. This is the same jacket I included in last month’s “holiday cocktail party style” outfit. I think the jacket works and looks great with jeans too; in fact, I like it best as part of a more casual look.

One of my very favorite style finds in 2014 (thanks again to Karen) was French Kande jewelry. I’m crazy about these pieces! They have just the right combination of beautiful materials (necklaces above include beads of black jasper and labradorite), designs with a laid-back insouciance, and of course a Paris connection. You can layer the necklaces and bracelets, or wear singly. But the best part is of this discovery is Kande herself, who lives not too far from us and has become a friend!

Very similar style but less pricey boots option here.

And now as promised…a special appearance from that fabulous feline….Lars! (Lars is the neighbor’s cat, but he always has to check out what’s going on on “his” block.)

Who’s that sneaking up behind me? | He thinks this is his best side, apparently.

Do you incorporate “dressier” pieces into casual outfits?
