Every so often my husband's work has sponsored social events, and I'm particularly excited about tonight's: an evening viewing of Impressionist masterpieces from the Musee d'Orsay at the De Young Museum here in San Francisco. Yes, please! French Impressionism has always been one of my favorite periods in art history... I fell in love with Monet's work in particular when I took an outdoor landscape painting class in high school.
The Magpie by Claude Monet (1868)
Rue Montorgueil, Paris. Festival of June 30, 1878 by Claude Monet (1878)
And of course, what I'll be wearing:
There's something about museums that always makes me want to build my outfits around the color black. Something about it feels so sophisticated and, well, artistic! Also, the weather here has been very misty and foggy and cool, so yes those are black stockings in the bottom corner of the photo. I bought this cardigan from JCrew on super-sale a couple of weeks ago and have been looking forward to wearing it. I love the silvery sequins against the grey of the cardi - I feel like they add a bit of fun, but not too flashy.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Works from the Musee D'Orsay! You're so lucky! Absolutely my favorite museum.
I love the outfit, and could you please tell me where you bought those perfect black pumps?
Sounds like a great event! I saw that cardigan on sale but unfortunately all the ones in my size were gone :( it is very pretty though, and perfect for the occasion!

Have a great weekend
I don't kno how but I feel deep feeling when read your post, thank you and keep writing, I love it..
Perfect outfit for your event. I'm sure you look great. :-)
Oh -- and how is it to say 'my husband' ;-)
Dani - they are Guess, if you can believe it! I bought them in the Juniors' section at Nordstrom a year or two ago. They have a more comfortable two inch heel, which indeed makes them the perfect black pump. :)
SFCA - sorry, we went out of town for the weekend, but that looked cool! Did you go?
Gigi - thanks, and it feels WEIRD more than anything! I feel like I finally got used to saying "my fiance" and now I have to change again. :) We were just exclaiming to each other over the weekend how it makes us feel so old. ;-)
