You sound sorted, Mary. It will be dusty - but manageable. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-821-navy-and-neutrals#post-1337740 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 14:04:48 +0000 Beth Ann 1337740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the way the striping in the shoes echoes the jackets.&nbsp; And the grounding of the whole look with the ........ boxes in the background! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-821-navy-and-neutrals#post-1337716 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 13:51:13 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1337716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely neutral outfit Mary - and the color of the boxes work very well with it too!</p> <p>Wishing all the best for the big move - such a stressful thing, moving. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-821-navy-and-neutrals#post-1337697 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 13:29:02 +0000 Windchime 1337697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your striped blazer, Ms. Mary! I have one on my shopping list. Super cute shoes; great summer outfit!<br /> That's awesome about your yard. I've seen drought-tolerant landscapes which, to my eye, are very beautiful and interesting in an understated way.<br /> Best of luck with the move, and if it gets stressful, just remind yourself of the money you'll have for shopping because you're not making double home payments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-821-navy-and-neutrals#post-1337695 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 13:23:28 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1337695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great neutral outfit Mary.</p> <p>I just did the yard in my house and we have only about 600 square feet of grass in the front. &nbsp;None at all in the back but I do have trees and shrubs. &nbsp;Low maintenance is the way to go. &nbsp;I am looking forward to seeing what you do with the front yard. &nbsp;Nice bonus for the government to pay you to do it too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-821-navy-and-neutrals#post-1337690 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 13:10:19 +0000 lyn67 1337690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know what you mean by&nbsp; taking up residence at a construction site, as we did it earlier in our house, too. No fun, but think a working kitchen and a safe room (with a bathroom) is key. BTW, love your outfit Mary! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-821-navy-and-neutrals#post-1337672 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 12:42:26 +0000 Anonymous 1337672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The navy and white look crisp and cool. Wishing you an easy glitch-free move. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-821-navy-and-neutrals#post-1337006 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 17:35:42 +0000 MsMary 1337006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I will have the guest room and guest bath.&nbsp; Then when the master bedroom and bathroom are done I will move in there and we will re-do the guest rooms!&nbsp; And we're not touching the kitchen (until Phase II, anyway -- maybe 2016?) so I will have a fully functioning kitchen the whole time.&nbsp; So that will be a big help! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-821-navy-and-neutrals#post-1336951 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 16:07:56 +0000 Angie 1336951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blast. Those double payment months&nbsp;are a mare. You are right to <b>not</b> pay rent and mortgage. I'm sure you'll make the camping site work. Do you have a safe haven of a room and bathroom?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-821-navy-and-neutrals#post-1336948 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 15:58:14 +0000 Jaime 1336948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You should be in an 40s style movie and your nickname should be Legs. The house next to ours has been under renovation for months, I can't believe how quickly your new home is coming along! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-821-navy-and-neutrals#post-1336946 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 15:57:33 +0000 kellygirl 1336946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Terrific! Good luck on the move! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-821-navy-and-neutrals#post-1336938 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 15:46:03 +0000 JAileen 1336938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on your house. It's been fun seeing progress in your posts (even if I don't comment). It's going to be wonderful.</p> <p>I love stripes. What can I say? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-821-navy-and-neutrals#post-1336930 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 15:25:02 +0000 AviaMariah 1336930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a cute outfit and I like the idea of pairing cranberry with it. &nbsp;You'll make it living in a renovation; just plan more time at the gym and out to dinner with friends. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-821-navy-and-neutrals#post-1336928 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 15:22:06 +0000 Dana 1336928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the silhouette of the whole outfit, and you look so calm, cool, and collected despite your big event! </p> <p>I'm so envious of your yard coup! We have xeriscape in the back, but our front yard is a mess. My husband has tried everything, and the lawn is still awful. You'll have to post pictures! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-821-navy-and-neutrals#post-1336925 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 15:14:29 +0000 MsMary 1336925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jackiec</b>, the pile of boxes is getting bigger and bigger!&nbsp; LOL&nbsp; Yes, I'm excited about the low-water, low-maintenance landscape.&nbsp; We did a landscape project at The Former Marital Residence some years ago, and I realized after we did it that if I had it to do over again I'd do it drought-tolerant instead of thirsty.&nbsp; And lo and behold, now I do have it to do over again!</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, you are so kind!&nbsp; The skirt is from last year.&nbsp; It's really been a workhorse!&nbsp; I am moving now because I just can't pay both rent and the mortgage.&nbsp; I paid rent in August, the mortgage starts Sept 1, so this way there are no double payments.&nbsp; I had originally planned to stay in the apartment all through the renovation, but that was before the project ended up being 150% over my original budget!&nbsp; ;)</p> <p><b>Quietgirl</b>, great idea about adding cranberry to the neutral tee for fall!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-821-navy-and-neutrals#post-1336915 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 15:05:19 +0000 Quietgirl 1336915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Soooo cute! I would love a cranberry bag with this (for fall) to pull out the colors of the embellished tee. What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-821-navy-and-neutrals#post-1336908 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 14:59:29 +0000 Angie 1336908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulously 11 out of 10. I love the soft flare in that A-Line skirt. Is it new?&nbsp;</p> <p>Mary, why don't you stay in your apartment a little longer?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-821-navy-and-neutrals#post-1336904 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 14:54:47 +0000 jackiec 1336904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look of you in front of the packed up boxes You look great as usual - but lovin' the boxes!</p> <p>Good luck with the move. Never a fun process. That's interesting about the city paying you to lose the lawn. It really is the environmentally friendly thing to do isn't it? Money in the pocket </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-821-navy-and-neutrals#post-1336898 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 14:51:41 +0000 MsMary 1336898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last day of work today before the big move to the new house on Sunday!&nbsp; I'm getting a little panicky about being ready, and I'm wondering why I thought it would be a good idea to take up residence at a construction site, but I'm sure it will all work out.&nbsp; In the meantime, here's an outfit of old faves.</p> <p>Navy linen skirt:&nbsp; J Crew<br />Embellished tee:&nbsp; Target<br />Striped blazer:&nbsp; AT Loft<br />Navy and white pumps:&nbsp; Seychelles<br />White satchel:&nbsp; Banana Republic</p> <p>And speaking of the construction site, the big news yesterday is that the lawn is gone!&nbsp; The city is paying me $2 per square foot to take out the front and back grass and replace it with drought-tolerant landscaping.&nbsp; Big fun!! </p>
