Me! I love love love how this top exactly matches the gorgeous bag that Adelfa brought to the Shoptoberfest swap! And I love the matchiness of the houndstooth jacket with the saddle oxfords. Big fun here today.

Green knit top: Amber Sun
Black pencil skirt: Halogen
Black and white blazer: Ellen Tracy
Green bag: Nanette Lepore
Black and white oxfords: Doc Marten
Pendant: H&M

Thanks for looking! I always appreciate your honest feedback!! And I hope you are staying warm! Wish you could all come and visit here in Summer in January!!

That green is super on you, and what a fun bag! I love the oxfords with the green top and skirt.

You look great, MarkyK! The shade of green is lovely on you and the houndstooth jacket + saras = so much fabness.

Gosh I adore this MK!! What are the odds of a perfect match on that gorgeous bag and that beautiful moss green is so your color. Love the saddle shoes with the houndstooth. Just you typical MK amazingly gorgeous only she could think of production!! Love how the saddle shoes just shake up and wake up the whole outfit, that element of the unexpected. PS that pendant is working to excellent effect pulling it together even more. Sigh of happiness!!

I love this outfit, and especially love the juxtoposition of shoes with the skirt. I don't have any pieces like this, but I'm favoriting it anyway!

Nice to see the colorblocked oxfords, I have the Jeffrey Campbell version and was just wondering if I should get rid of them due to lack of wear.

Love the green, so fun!

You look awesome. I love black and white with pretty much anything, but that green on you is amazing.

This is a NLO - Naughty Little Outfit. Your mischief comes through in this look and I love it. Plus, you rock olive green. Which surprises me since your eyes are a light icy blue - but you really wear this shade of muted sour green well. xo

I am chuckling at gryffin's comment, "olive green is your colour."

Well, excuse me, but what isn't your colour?????? Or your neutral? Sheesh! You own them all and we plebs just have to content ourselves with borrowing from you once in a while, Queen Rainbow.

You have such marvelous fashion mojo --- you never cease to find new possibilities in your closet!

Love this, as usual, and I like it best with the blazer this time!

The oxfords just make this for me, and your color wearing ability never ceases to astound!

Oh, I love it! With the jacket off, you are giving me Audrey Horne flashbacks in your pencil skirt and saddle shoes.

Those shoes are just fantastic!

You ladies are turning my head for sure! Audrey Hepburn, indeed!

I do love these shoes, especially with this jacket. Plus they are very comfy -- I walked to lunch and felt light on my feet in my clunky shoes! Plus the olive green does make me very happy! This one definitely goes in the "W" column!

Stunning!!!! The whole outfit is awesome!

I love the way the oxfords work with the houndstooth jacket. I really love those Docs on you and I am trying to figure out why. The high vamp seems to show off your legs even better than pumps, although that makes absolutely no sense. Maybe it's just the sassy-ness of them?

So fun! Love the houndstooth and oxfords together and you look great in that shade of green. Fantastic bag, too.

Denise, I think it's something about the big shoe/slim leg contrast that makes it strangely flattering. It's kind of kooky (sassy) and unexpected and yeah, somehow it works. Crazy, huh?
