You open your mailbox and pull out a stunning envelope. Really, it's beautiful: light champagne color envelope with your name embossed in black on the front in perfect script. Then, you gently pry open the envelope, trying to rip it in as straight a line as possible to minimize damage. You pull out the card (actually, it's an invitation). You read the first line: Ladies Luncheon.
After you get over the initial shock that people in southern California are actually still doing luncheons (aside from the annual NCL-Luncheon) not just picnics on the beach, you mind wanders over to your closet and a whole slew of questions wash over you, including the most important one: what am I going to wear?
Excellent question. What are you going to wear? A formal affair during the day, the time to look polished and pretty, but not stuffy. What to do? Head straight to Kate Spade! (Neimans works too). Kate Spade always has a lovely selection of luncheon dresses and attire. I've been there on many occasions and always end up trying something on and it always looks fabulous! Here's a few of my favorites:

although this is
only a skirt,
I thought it was
so darling,
I had to put it in
This is one of my favorite dresses.
This is a relative close up of the top half,
with the ruffles and belt.
It was a touch chilly, so I added
a sweater.
This is just a longer shot.
The dress falls at about an
inch below the knee.
I wore it with black
patent pumps.
A pink dress with
black polka dots
a black belt, black headband
and black patent pumps? DARLING!
With a lovely luncheon as this, you need a dress to match. If there was ever such an occasion to "dress to impress" this is it! Show them your personality and sophistication in one of these lovely outfits. Ladies, it's time for lunch.
