I was in Chicago a couple of years ago for a friend's wedding. We were staying at The Four Seasons and went down to the bar for a Bourbon tasting, which was really fun. I wore my new summer dress and my husband and I sat in a corner, chatting and sipping Bourbon. ("like a lady" -that's for you Guidi)
A couple of weeks after we returned from our trip, I went shopping for some new pajamas. As I was going through the jammies and nightgowns, I saw my "dress." I saw several of my "dresses." When I asked the clerk in so many words...." what the hell?" She said: "Oh, a customer must have put one of those nightgowns in the dress section. But, yes that is definitely a nightgown!" So, uh, yes, to my horror I apparently wore a nightgown walking all along Michigan Avenue, to Ralph Lauren for lunch and then to a bourbon tasting at a swanky hotel bar. classy.
Despite my treacherously embarrassing faux pas, at least I didn't find out until after the fact and AT LEAST I slipped the cocktail menu from the Four Season's bar into my purse for future liquid enjoyment.
So, viola, this is one of the creations I tried to mimic from their menu while vising my friend Virginia in Santa Cruz last weekend. She and I drank one on her deck, talked and enjoyed the sunset, in our nightgowns.
