WIW 3/29: Black and white and green all over

Somehow this outfit wasn't doing anything for me until I added the green shoes, and now it feels like spring!

Black midi skirt: thrifted
Black and white silk blouse: consignment
Black and white jacket: Kate Spade
Green pumps: Kate Spade
White tote: eBay

I ordered a white bag from Banana Republic but in light of some recent unexpected expenses I think it's going back and I'm going to use this one for another season. What do you think? Has it still got it?

Love this outfit! The crisp graphic of the black and white top appeals to me, and the pop of green is lovely!

I love the pop of springy green in your outfit! The purse looks like it could go for many more seasons, it's beautiful.

You're right - those shoes make the outfit! Completely wonderful. (And how thin you look in this!)

I think the purse is fantastic.

Anything you wear with that jacket is right in my book, but thumbs up to the bag. The pop of green really is lovely and unexpected.

Good morning MaryK, Yep, there you go again. Green=new life. Bag is very much alive. Give it many outings.

The white bag is gorgeous - no need to replace it Mary. I love how the white bag and green shoes completely "springify" this outfit. And there's something so classy about green with black/white. Love it!

That tweed jacket is gorgeous!!! And now you have me feeling the definite lacking of green shoes in my closet. The white bag is a great classic shape, definitely hang on to it!

The green shoes are so fab with this. But honestly, that jacket is one of my favourite pieces of yours and when you wear it, you can do no wrong in my eyes.

This bag looks pretty darned good to me, but then Angie has spoken, so I vote listen to her.

This is perfect and elegant. You look like a million bucks. One of your best!

ETA -- I haven't seen the BR bag so I can't compare it to this one. I think the one you have still looks current and in good condition, at least from a distance.
