WIW 8/27: Black and white and cobalt, again

MsMary

Veteran

As I adjust to living in the construction site, I find I am reaching for my very favorite tried-and-true outfits. So please excuse all the repeats. I just realized this is an upside-down version of something I wore a couple of weeks ago! LOL

Print pencil skirt: Halogen
White shirt: Kirkland (Costco)
Cobalt jacket: Eliza J
Colorblock tote: Steve Madden
T-strap pumps: T.U.K.

House report: They cut the hole for the patio doors a couple of weeks ago but yesterday I popped in at noon and it was the first time I got to see the opening when it wasn't boarded up! Big fun!!

Oh, coming back to say I always appreciate your critiques and outfit input!

Fun!
Both the "right side up" and the "upside down" versions look great.
Congrats on the progress of the house...cool to see it slowly coming together.

I love that skirt so much on you. It can do no wrong. Paired with cobalt it really sings.

I LOVE this color combo! The floral pattern mixed with the purse & shoes is just fab!! I've also really been loving your hair in your last few WIW's; hope you're feeling more "you". Keep the house pics coming. It's so fun to see someone else's renovation especially when I don't have to be the one living in it!!

Good luck with living in a construction site. I can't wait to see the way it all turns out.
Regarding your outfit, I love cobalt with black and white -- it looks so crisp. I definitely understand the value of recycling tried and true favorites. It's the primary reason I'm so glad I used to post regularly. I can just wear what looked good before

Let in the light and you look great.

Count it as a major victory when your workers come consecutive days for days and days on end!!! [versus working on multiple jobs semi-simultaneously] Ask me how I know. . .

And your outfit looks so fab and FRESH. I love the crispness.

I am still amazed how you can live in the house under a ful reno and look so well put together EVERY.SINGLE.TIME! As usually - glreat outfit.
I see you are putting in a big patio door,no? We have replaced our 3' patio door with huge 12' sliding double door and this was the best decision ever (even though fiarly expensive but worth every penny)

You are my hero! Isn't dressing well the best way to impose a little order on the chaos? Outfit is fab as always, but maybe even more style points for the cucumber coolness of high contrast black and white, with a shot of colour.

You ladies are so kind! You make me blush!

Sveta,I bought this house so I could put the big slider in that room. When you walk in the front door at the other end of the house, you will be able to look down the main hall through the new big opening and into the garden. Totally So Cal indoor/outdoor awesome! And believe it or not, it was originally just a plain wall with two medium-sized windows. Crazy, says I!
