The Lost Art of the Luncheon

  • Wear all your rings—that’s totally fine
  • If you wear other jewelry, that’s bad, unless the jewelry in question is a single strand of pearls
  • You should wear mid height heels—high heels are just too much for lunch
  • Your bag should be huge, and alligator if you have it
  • You should be wearing some wool or silk, or linen, depending on the climate and temperature
  • Do all of the above while maintaining an air of casual, breezy, just-did-whatever-with-my-outfit-and-now-I’m-here sort of vibe
  • If you were ever curious as to why things seemed so much simpler back in the day, it was because the luncheon squashed anyone’s motivation to make things any more complicated than their outfit.]]>
