The Best of the Year: Is This Is Really It?

by

 
It’s time to take a look back and see how far we’ve come this year. What have we worn? What have we learned?
 

 
 
In my opinion — and you are free to disagree! — these are the best business casual posts of the year:
But this is the cleverest thing I've ever done jan

These are the best casual posts:

I firmly believe that it is better to be smart than pretty and so I submit that these are the best posts of the year because they are the funniest:
Normalcy
Vulcan Cocktail Waitress
An enormous bug
Kafka’s Muse

The Jellyfish
Utility dress
Mogambo Again

Looking ahead, I expect to spend a lot of time with my current obsession in 2018:

And finalmente, my legacy. The most useful posts of the year are The Key Set, Parts I-IV.

  1. An incredible body of work, Directrice, for which we are all grateful – and better dressed!

    P.S. Iā€™d like to let your readers know that the title of this entry contains an intentional typo which refers to a funny college story which I of course cannot remember but which the Directrice, with her excellent memory, probably can.

  2. Thank you for sharing another year of fabulous outfits with us. I had missed that lovely saffron Marni top from January. Divine!

    Best wishes to you in 2018.
