WIW: Anniversary lunch

Mr. Suz and I are in Montreal this weekend celebrating a special anniversary. We are staying in his son's apartment in Mile End. (Son is away.) 

Yesterday we had a lovely lunch and I wore the new Aritzia top. I decided to keep it even though the keyhole back is a little low and occasionally reveals my bra band. I think I will just buy a pretty blue bra. Or maybe fashion tape will do the trick. 

I don't know if it is visible but I am also wearing the necklace he got for me in Israel. It is a choker of silver strands with a gold nugget in the centre. I can switch out for other beads if I find some that fit. 

Today it is 30 degrees and very humid -- in May! We are so hot and tired that we're cooking fish for ourselves rather than going out. 

I would have liked to do some shopping but it's just too hot! Went for ice cream instead. :)

I would rather be wearing white sandal booties. I hope I find those Franco Sartos to try. But hopefully the black ones work with the ink blue in the top. The top also works with navy or white bottoms but I thought it was fun with the cobalt blue.

    You look amazing.  Happy anniversary to you both.  Montreal is such a beautiful place.

  • Sharon replied 8 years ago

    Happy anniversary - you look gorgeous.  i'm glad you decided to keep the top. It is just beautiful on you.

  • replied 8 years ago

    Great look, and the blue looks really nice on you! You look so put together!

  • pil replied 8 years ago

    Beautifully Suz-like. Happy anniversary to you and Mr. Suz!

  • Eliza replied 8 years ago

    Happy anniversary! You look great and I am a huge fan of that Aritizia top on you. Enjoy Montreal!

  • Sveta replied 8 years ago

    Happy anniversary Suz! You cannot look anything but spectacular in color blue but this top is especially lovely. Black sandal booties work great with this outfit.
    It was humid and hot here too today and then we had a torrential downpour with the wind - the real storm. The rain was so strong that it flooded our basement even though it lasted less than 30 min. I hope the storm passes you by without spoiling your special vacation.

  • Ruth M replied 8 years ago

    Oh, your lovely new top is so flattering - you'll find it very versatile, I'm sure.  And I love your stunning necklace!  Happy anniversary to you and Mr Suz!

  • Caro in Oz replied 8 years ago

    Happy Anniversary to you both, may there be many, many more.

    I love the whole outfit Suz. I have to chuckle at 30 degrees being too hot to shop though :) :)

  • Staysfit replied 8 years ago

    Happy Anniversay to you and Mr. suz! The entire look is beautiful. The Aritzia top is stunning, and I'm glad you decided to keep it. I think it accomplishes your stated goals perfectly. I love the idea of trying a colorful blue bra underneath and making it seem a deliberate choice. Go for it! Fashion tape might work but it might be hard to get it placed correctly on your back without help each time, which for me would create a nuisance. I like dressing to be easy!

  • Olivegreen replied 8 years ago

    Shot of color, really enjoy it. The proportions look right on. My goodness the bag, that cements the color blast. Love it.
    Happy Anniversaire.

    Lovely outfit Suz!  And Happy Anniversary :)  Ah, Montreal in May - what a great idea, despite the 30 degree heat.  Montreal can be a hot muggy mess indeed.  Anyways - the blue in both pieces work so well together - really a sophisticated look and super appropriate for super-sophisticated Montreal *says with an accent* .  I think this is perfect with black shoes like this and think white may just take it into a less , well, sophisticated (there's that word again) look than you'd want.   Beautiful!

  • Joy replied 8 years ago

    Happy Anniversary. You are a vision in blue. I hope that you find the Franco Sartos ( and the blue bra :)

  • Suz replied 8 years ago

    Ah, thank you all! Tomorrow it is supposed to be 14 degrees! 

    Caro, honestly, 30 is more like 45 in Montreal. The humidity is unbelievable. Thank goodness there was a breeze today or it would truly have been unbearable. Also, you know, we go from -40 to this -- so it is a shock to the system. 

  • Sal replied 8 years ago

    On my phone so can't see the some details but you look smashing from what I Can See. Happy anniversary!!!!!

  • DJP replied 8 years ago

    Happy Anniversary Suz! Your entire outfit is lovely and the Steve Maddens kind of balance the darker area of the print around your face. Sort of a bookend but not!

  • Transcona Shannon replied 8 years ago

    Congratulations and Happy Anniversary to you and Mr. Suz!

    Such a beautiful outfit on you - the colours are lovely and the silhouette chic and modern.

  • Kari replied 8 years ago

    Fun! I love this top/skirt combo. An outfit after my pencil skirt loving heart!
    Happy anniversary Suz!

  • shedev replied 8 years ago

    Love the outfit Suz. Happy anniversary.

  • Karie replied 8 years ago

    Happy Anniversary! You look fantastic in that shade of blue. Such a beautiful top too!

  • replied 8 years ago

    What a lovely top! I think the black sandal boots look fine with this too.

    Happy anniversary!

  • kerry replied 8 years ago

    You look beautiful. Happy anniversary!

  • Dee replied 8 years ago

    Happy anniversary! What a fun statement top, and it matches the blue of the skirt and bag so well. I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip too.

  • Jaime replied 8 years ago

    Happy Anniversary! You look gorgeous in cobalt. Enjoy Montreal!

  • SarahTheWhite replied 8 years ago

    Wow, Suz, this is gorgeous! I love everything about it. While the shoes are gorgeous with it, I can completely understand your wish for sandals. This would have been too hot for shopping in my climate as well. But you look amazing!! Happy Anniversary. :-)

  • Ginkgo replied 8 years ago

    Happy Anniversary! You own that shade of blue, but please get cracking on the shopping!

  • tulle replied 8 years ago

    That top--the whole outfit, in fact--looks very chic on you, Suz.  Aritzia was new to me until you posted your finds, so thanks for introducing me to a site with such wonderful silks.  It's been hot and humid here, too, but a nice big thunderstorm came tonight and cleared the air.  Happy Anniversary!

  • Adela replied 8 years ago

    I love this. The top is beyond gorgeous, and you put everything together perfectly. Happy Anniversary!

  • Deborah replied 8 years ago

    Happy Anniversary to you both!  What a beautiful outfit Suz.  That blouse is just stunning.  Gorgeous colours on you.

  • Gaylene replied 8 years ago

    Happy anniversary! And you look amazing in that outfit--cobalt is YOUR colour.

  • Caro in Oz replied 8 years ago

    Agreed humidity makes everything worse :) Suz, you can laugh at me when I complain about our "cold" weather.

  • CocoLion replied 8 years ago

    How lucky to find such a perfectly fitting, perfectly colored top.  I mean, it hits all of your desired notes doesn't it?  Length, sleeve, neckline, color scheme.  Looks great with the skirt and sandals.  Hope it cools down soon.

  • Cococat replied 8 years ago

    I love your outfit Suz.

    Happy anniversary to you and Mr Suz!

  • MTBGirl replied 8 years ago

    Love this outfit on you! I like the black peeptoes with it. Happy Anniversary to you and mr. suz! We have the same weather here, a couple degrees hotter but maybe not quite as humid. The breeze really does help. Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip!

  • carter replied 8 years ago

    Absolutely gorgeous! Give us a close up of that necklace at some point. It sounds amazing. Happy anniversary!

  • dakotacheryl replied 8 years ago

    You looked great for your anniversary date with Mr Suz!!  And even better that you wore comfy shoes and skirt...just FAB

  • replied 8 years ago

    Love the Aritzia top on you Suz! The whole outfit looks fab. Happy Anniversary to the two of you.

    BTW, our weather is a total washout here in UK, May has been cold and windy throughout, and today I have a sweater and cardigan on and the heating is on too! 

  • Angie replied 8 years ago

    Killer to the power of Killer. I'm thrilled you kept that top. Cobalt is your colour. 

    You look absolutely GORGEOUS, Suz. Fashionable, fresh, hip, pretty. happy and radiantly healthy. Wishing you and Mr. Suz many more happy years together, and much love to you. 

  • kkards replied 8 years ago

    happy anniversary! YLF!

  • Suz replied 8 years ago

    Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts. I am glad I kept the Aritzia top, too; it is my first purchase from them and I might make some more in future! ;)

    The gods are laughing. Today it is 10 degrees and windy and cloudy here! Seriously. I do not have enough layers to keep warm. 

    Sheesh!

  • celia replied 8 years ago

    Happy anniversary! You look absolutely beautiful.

  • Helena replied 8 years ago

    Love you in blue Suz!

  • Joyce B replied 8 years ago

    Looking fab as always! Happy Anniversary to you and your husband.

  • texstyle replied 8 years ago

    Really beautiful outfit on you Suz and a very Happy Anniversary to you both!

  • No Fear of Fashion replied 8 years ago

    You look so beautiful in this elegant outfit. Splendid. I love the kobalt blue, suits you so well. I went back to check the necklace. Although it is not that clear to see, it appears to be very good. Contemporary and chic. I hope you will post a close-up too.
    Greetje

  • Summer replied 8 years ago

    Beautiful blues, Suz.  I love the whole outfit.
    Happy anniversary to you both.

  • Beth Ann replied 8 years ago

    What a marvelous outfit, Suz!  I love the arty energy of the printed top.  I cannot, for all that is good, wear that kind of a sleeve --- particularly with a high neck.  I look positively burly.  On you, however, the sleeves and neckline make a perfect frame.

    So sorry the weather is wonky.  Montreal has to be a great city to walk when the weather is nice.

  • Runcarla replied 8 years ago

    Lucky Mr. Suz! The black city sandals work best, and I think better than white, for this outfit. Very modern looking combination.

  • UK Sue replied 8 years ago

    Congratulations! You look stunning!
    How about pale neutral sandals to bookend your hair? Possibly too light?

  • Gigi replied 8 years ago

    Suz, you look fantastic! I love you in that blue.

    As to the bra band, there are converters to make your regular bra into one that works with low-back styles; maybe that would do the trick. I don't know how well they work, since I've never used one, but it may be worth a try. I think they're called backless bra converters.

  • rachylou replied 8 years ago

    The bright is blue is indeed festive!

  • Lyn D. replied 8 years ago

    Congrats Suz!
    I loved this top in your recent post and love it even more on you.
    The sleeve length and shape is perfect too :)
