Friday Lunch Outfit: Trying To Fix A Matchy Matchy Disaster (Continued From Yesterday)

I have now deleted yesterday's post, in which I was originally quite happy to post this outfit:

I was quite chuffed with the amount of coordination achieved, right down to the blue and white lines on the Parker Thatch tote.

And I got a compliment a mere minute into lunch:  "I love your outfit, you look like that French lady, ehm, Fressange, the one with short brown hair"

And another one right after that:  "yes her too, but I was thinking of that show with Jane Fonda where the husbands turn out to be gay?"

So I think my friends are saying this outfit would really suit a 60-year old French ex-model or an 80-year old American actress with a really good facelift.

  

Either way, I am not wearing that ever again.

I suppose a pussy bow top combined with mary jane shoes might be too much?   What if I swapped the shoes for boots?  Not sure if that's made a difference, I think it's the pussy bow...

Right then, pussy bow swapped for a grey T-shirt and mary janes gone, and suddenly I am back to a rather basic outfit, but one that I am fairly sure will not make me look 80.

Which do you prefer?
