WIW 8/19: Black and white and apple green

I'm afraid I may have to say goodbye to my beloved apple green blazer soon because it's pilling pretty badly. But it had an outing today with a black pencil skirt and this season's fave new tee. Just the thing for a lunchtime meeting at the job site!

Black pencil skirt: Halogen
Print tee: Ted Baker
Apple green blazer: GAP
Black pumps: Target
White satchel: Banana Republic

And here's a shot of my lovely new stamped concrete patio and driveway. It will dry to a lighter color, but I couldn't be more thrilled with how it turned out!!

Thanks for looking, and for your honest feedback!

Apple green is one of my fave colours (don't you know!) and I've been crushing on that Ted Baker T ever since you got it. Love your look today.

...and, congrats on the new home. I can't believe the speed with which it is shaping up!

Ooh - so sad when that one goes. You definitely need to replace it. I love the way it "unsweetens" the tee. Beautiful on you.

I can't believe how fast they are moving at your place. It must be so satisfying to see the changes day by day.

You look gorgeous, truly.

Jaime

The jacket is so perfect with the tee that you may just *need* to replace it. Congratulations on the driveway, hope you are driving on it soon!

Debora

Love the apple green blazer on you and hope you can find an equally fab replacement. So pretty with the printed tee. Congrats on the new house. Love the driveway and patio!

Joy

The apple green blazer is special. I hope that you can find a replacement. Wonderful outfit.
The stamped concrete looks great. You will have a wonderful spot to relax and unwind.

Gigi

The color of that jacket is really gorgeous on you, MsMary! I sure hope you can find another. I like how the black really sets off the green.

Marley

Oh my - this is great Mary! I really like the bright green with the darker print. I have the "cousin" of your Ted Baker tee. Mine is the lighter "prettier" colors - and I really like it too.
I love that stamped concrete finish - such a smart and inexpensive way to get a really great look!

Did I send you the blazer? Or did you send one to me? Good grief the clothing exchange confusion. In any case it's a great combo. So sad it is pilling! And I want that tee!

Alexandra

OMG, my favorite color combination! You look fabulous in it! Bummer that the blazer is on its last leg. I hope you can find the perfect replacement.

The outfit is very nice. I like the top and would never have thought to pair it with the apple green. You have great instincts on color Mary.

I love the stamped concrete drive. I considered stamped concrete for the patio but with our winters, there is too much risk of cracking and shifting. It looks beautiful.

You definitely need to find a replacement -- it is such a good colour for you, and looks lovely with the T. Your driveway and patio are gorgeous.

Thistle

Sad about the blazer. Here's hoping your budget allows you to replace it!

It pairs so beautifully with the drapey tee, adding structure and amping up the whole outfit. You look terrific.

jackiec

Oh so sad about the blazer - it looks fantastic on you! Can I add that I love your hair here?!

Fantastic driveway - looks classy - well done.

Transcona Shannon

Oh no! Too bad about that apple green blazer. Will you look for a replacement? It's such an amazing color on you Mary and pairs so fabulously with black and white.

Your patio and driveway look incredible. I'm sooooo excited for you and your new house. Yay for fab new beginnings

I LOVE the straight but bouncy hair. It has body and movement - that's key. Your best hair look yet, Mary. Really. It suits your style, face and persona to a tee.

Gorgeous colour palette and outfit. Your apple green blazer had a good run. Onto the next killer item. And fab new driveway. xo

Once again, I love your outfit. As usual, my eye is drawn to the purse most of all.

MsMary

Thanks for the great feedback, ladies!

Marley, I'm giggling at your comment about the concrete. I'd call it less expensive than the alternatives. Turns out nothing in a big remodel job is truly inexpensive! LOL

Una, no, I thought I had bought this in the store, but now that you mention it, maybe you did buy it and ship it down here. Or maybe I bought it online in two sizes and sent you the other one! So funny! But yeah -- seems like there was something about that...
