Mustard Polka Dots and a Cocktail Bag

A matching set, a waist scarf, and a bag that matches the evening’s agenda.

Friday finally showed up, and so did this outfit: a mustard polka dot set that feels like a sundress but photographs like a decision, plus the green striped beaded bag with a cocktail on it. If your purse matches the evening’s agenda, you’re doing something right.

The white sweater isn’t decoration; it’s armor against restaurant air conditioning, which has a personal vendetta against summer outfits. Scarf at the waist, cocktail in hand, week officially ended.
