Not So Casual Friday
If you read the Blackbird Sisters Mysteries, you know Nora spends most of her evenings out on the town--attending all kinds of social events. On Fridays, she tends to show up at elegant, black tie occasions. What's a down-on-her-luck girl supposed to wear on nights like this? She raids her grandmama's collection of vintage couture, of course. Here's one of her not-so-casual Friday evening outfits. This one, Galliano.

to get jobs for the first time in their
lives. Nora Blackbird becomes
the assistant to a newspaper society
columnist and attends parties
for a living. Unfortunately, Nora
also stumbles over a lot of dead
bodies while she's covering
the social scene on the Main Line.
Follow Nora's amateur sleuthing
as she solves crimes of fashion
as well as aristocratic murder!
