WIW 5/27: It's easy being green!

Today I am leading the opening song at my Rotary Club meeting so I wanted to look a little more put-together than usual. I love this not-quite-a-suit not-quite-matching green skirt and jacket together!

Green pencil skirt: Halogen
Olive blazer: Theory
Cream silk tee: Jones New York
"Reptile" pumps: Vince Camuto
Scarf: gift
Taupe bag: Target

In other news, it's been a little over three months since I broke my ankle and I am cautiously trying out a pair of my not-super-high high heels. Hopefully I will get through the day without any mishaps!

Thank you, as always, for any honest feedback you care to give!

You look very together in this ôutfit, and your attitude in the photo shows it.
Green and white is very fresh to my eye.

You look very well put together. very professional, perfect for getting up in front of people.

I love these shades of green together (not what I was expecting at all from your post title either - for some reason I was thinking kelly green). The muted greens look great with the scarf. I hope your ankle is still feeling okay.

Congratulations on getting back into heels! It must feel good to be able to get into some of your old shoes again. Love that scarf and skirt combo!

Well don't you look put-together! You look fab. Always so elegant.

I didn't know you broke your ankle -- yikes. Good luck with the heels today. I know how much you like wearing them!

Thistle

You look amazing!! Super fab outfit!

Good luck with your ankle today. Here's hoping its okay with your heels

Love your outfit! And be careful! I hope you fare well and can start wearing more of your favorite shoes! Sometimes it's best to alternate in the beginning between a low heel and flat as your muscles and tendons get accustomed.

Deb

Well you look the part Mary....ever stylish! Good luck tonight. You'll be like a duck to water in your heels.....

Suz

You look gorgeous! I love this combination and how wonderful to see you back in shoe-action!

Rotating in style!

Love the sharp, down-to-business vibe of this outfit!

Joy

I was expecting an outfit of autumn tones, but this fab styling looks like spring . Fresh as a spring peeper:)

Love the mix of greens, and the proportions work well together.

So..... what did you sing?

My Dad plays piano for his Kiwanis group weekly. I can sing their "Smile Song" in my sleep!

Janet

I thought the same thing as Sara (envisioning kelly green!), but I love the mix of muted greens on you. Sophisticated but also interesting. Good luck with the meeting, and with your ankle in the shoes! I guess I won't say break a leg.

Love the not quite a suit!

MsMary

Thank you, everybody! I am pleased to report my ankle did just fine in the heels. I swear I think all the subway stairs and walking in NYC last weekend was therapeutic!

Beth Ann, our guest speaker was the owner of a startup company, so we sang The Impossible Dream in his honor! LOL Firtunately he had a good sense of humor!

Well, Mary "Impossible Dream" is an example of the "go bold or go home" mentality so needed in a startup. It has that long slow build to the upper register that requires some good breath and chutzpah, too!

This is a great example of a 'suit without a suit'. I think it puts people at ease rather than at attention. Nice work.

It's easy being green when you look this gorgeous!!

Looking good! Nice to see that Halogen skirt still in action!
