A Quiet Afternoon

We put boredom in a box and close the lid. Next, we program a disco groove with Endless Summer: Donna Summer’s Greatest Hits. Now, to the closet! 

Speaking of summer, we’ll want to acquire new lightweight silks from Karma on the Rocks, just arrived at JV. We can frolic out of doors in the Edo Crane Silk Slip in blue crepe de chine with a yellow crane design, or the Tokyo Crane Silk Pajama with contrasting yellow floral print trim.

For indoors, first choice must be the Jardin de la Lune Gown Set from Gilda & Pearl. The happy surprise of a sheer black net gown and panties will start the afternoon on the right foot. In fact, we expect to be chased. And to jettison any idea of washing the car.

Or, we might wear the deceptively demure Noor Aubergine Baby Doll in purple silk from Layalina. The skirt is composed of modest silk panels that alternate with sheer lace to reveal bareness underneath.

Perhaps this is the moment to unveil a new bra set, especially if it is from Karolina Laskowska. The Paeonia Lingerie Set is just the prettiest thing, with its luscious hand-tinted pink Chantilly lace and corded red and pink floral trim. Perfect for reviewing French verbs and sipping champagne.

Thank you to Mother and to Jane’s Vanity, for teaching us to make the most of every precious moment.
