Today's outfit was a bit of a challenge as I wanted to debut my new white blazer and my new silver/bone sandals. However, it is also our hospital's staff barbecue today and I'm volunteering at it and will be serving hotdogs while standing on grass. So how to keep greasy stains off the jacket and grass stains off the shoes?

So I am wearing the white blazer, which I'm already loving. It's a fairly tailored and crisp piece which gives me the structure that I like. The sleeves scrunch and stay put nicely thanks to the arm fit and useful three buttons on the cuff.

I've popped the jacket on top of my simple black sheath dress and added my white leather clutch. This is a direct copycat of an outfit Ingunn showed us with her sheath dress and white blazer. I love the simplicity and boldness of it - thanks for the inspiration Ingunn!

And I'm debuting my new silver and bone shoe-sandals. I'm falling more and more in love with these each time I pop them on my feet. So glad I got these.

Then when I head out to the lawn for the barbecue, I will take the jacket off (it's going to be quite warm today) and switch the shoe-sandals to my cream/black quilted flats.

How do you like the white blazer? Does the outfit work? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.
