WIW 5/10: Minty minty, matchy matchy!

MsMary

I was playing around in my closet last night and look! I found a blazer to match The Cutest Purse in the World!!

Mint blazer with white polka dots: Live a Little (thrifted)
White linen skirt: Calvin Klein (hand me down from a friend)
Black tee: American Apparrel
Black patent pumps: Madden Girl
Black studded belt: Merona
Cutest Purse in the World: Gaya

I am tickled by this outfit, even though I know it won't be everybody's cuppa. But I am having a Fun With Fashion day!

I'm jumping up and down (which is my shoes today is treacherous!) over this outfit MaryK - I LOVE the pairing of the purse with the jacket and with black and white. In my world, this is a 10 out 10!!!

You know if you ever get sick of that cute purse, you can send it to me...just sayin'...

Very fine, Mary K. You give matching such a good name. This is a new color scheme to me -- to fresh and fun!

Squeee! OMG, it's dotted like the bag, too! And O-M-G, the rivets on your belt repeat the dot motif again! And the piping on your jacket echoes the black straps on the bag. And the column of black tee shirt is the *exact same* as the column of black on the bag. HOW could this outfit be any better??

Oooooh Aaaaah...
I'm so glad matchy has found its good name again in the style world, and not even in an ironic way!

Idea -- based on how great this outfit looks against the backdrop of The Woman Cave, I could see the bag and jacket pared with lovely pale blues.

Ooo, I love this. I'd never in a million years think of such a fabulous way to put together these colors. I always so enjoy your outfits.

And that IS the cutest purse in the whole big wide world.

OMG, MaryK you are a star. I think it just shows that you have very well defined taste and that means most of your pieces will work with others.

Great find and cute outfit.

Unbelievable awesomeness! O.O This smells and even looks like couture! MaryK, you've outdone yourself.

Everything Rae said!

And Denise has a good idea too.

You ladies are so sweet!

Angie, you crack me up!

Shannon, I can totally see you rocking this purse (did I mention the designer is Canadian?), but alas! You will have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands! LOL

Denise, you're totally right about the baby blue with the mint! I think probably any pastel would work!!

Rae, love your deconstruction of the outfit elements! Big fun!!

Everyone else, you are so sweet and I appreciate your kind words so much! This thrifted jacket really WAS a find, and when I pulled it out and saw that it matched TCPITW, I about died of happiness!!

How fun is that??? Queen of Color does Chocolate Mint! I will be craving ice cream all day long now of course.
I like the mint and black combo a lot (and mint is not my fave) and the jacket looks sweet with the bag. Hurray for shopping the closet!
