Saturday included shopping, late lunch at Jakes, people watching, new spider wearing, and looking bored in a suit...ing.
I always try to wear a suit when I go to into the city for shopping. It seems inappropriate not to, even though I look a little out of place. But I feel like going into town is a special occasion. Shopping for pleasure is something to work an afternoon around. Lunch, shopping, drinks, sightseeing. Special afternoons deserve more than the usual capri pants :)
I really love those brogues - I was wearing a grey pair today that is very similar. Would love to find a sweet grey suit to complement them like you have here!
I have those same gloves in navy! Love them. I have to agree that lunch and it's potential what have you's after words, need special treatment. You look divine.
I always dress up when I go shopping too though not in a suit (usually just a '50s dress). Lovely spider brooch and hat and I'm drooling a bit over the mac 'n cheese.
You look gorgeous, Solanah! I'm loving the hat and pin especially. ;) It's funny, but when I plan a weekend afternoon out shopping, I tend to dress up too. It just seems more fun if you're going to be leisurely window shopping and such. ;)
I think it is so lovely that you put on a suit to go shopping. I am not a suit wearing person typically but I love to dress up. I like treating special days like they are special and dressing appropriately. I would put on a pretty dress and red lips for a day of shopping. Those gloves are perfect.

Beyond gorgeous!
I have a very similar suit, but in beige - and also, that hat is brilliant.

One day I'll found the perfect suit for outings like this, one day... You look so elegant, and the spider is so cool.
