You know I love her. But -- and you know this is coming.....BUT:

Things I am confused by:

- ....is that...a scarf?
- Or is that part of her shirt?
- If I keep making this face I'm making right now trying to figure this out, will I need Botox sooner?
- Are her shoes....?????
- WHY?
- ...spats? Maybe? Or....????????
- Or is that top like some kind of...poncho scarf cape wrap?
- differential equations.

At least she made up for it later:

This, I think, is so very cute. It's a little Casual Expensive 60s Housewife, but that's one of my very favorite Ensemble Inspirations, after Sexy 70s Mom On a Yacht, and Betty Draper Cocktail Party. So carry on, Blanchett! (Like you'd listen to me anyway, and thank god for that.)
