WIW 6/11: An old favorite in gray and green

You've seen this outfit a few times, but it's still one of my very favorites!

Wide-leg gray pants: YLF swap
Apple green top: Talbots
Apple green blazer: GAP
Gray "reptile" pumps: Jessica Simpson
White satchel: Banana Republic
Gray belt: Target
Gray and white scarf: Amazon
White watch: Oniss

I am wearing pants today because I have a meeting this morning where we will all be sitting in chairs in a circle with no table or desks, and I don't want to have to worry about too much leg showing in a skirt! LOL

Mary, that is my whole life--sitting across from people with no table intervening. I hardly ever wear skirts anymore, sigh, I love them for summer!

I really like this outfit on you! I love the cool grays and whites with the vivid green. I love the wide legs with the fringe which seem to announce your inner boho out of the box self!

How fun to see you in wide pants and bright green, Mary. LOVE. And good outfit strategy for today too.

Is the belt black or grey? A silver or white belt would be fab too.

Okay, Adelfa, I have a hilarious story for you: I've been seeing Dr. Shrink for lo, these many years now, and I almost always see him directly after work, wearing my work clothes. And as you said, we sit facing one another in comfy chairs with no table in the middle.

Well. Last week my hairdresser was going to be out of town on the weekend so I went to get my hair done on Thursday during my lunch hour. Seeing myself in the mirror in my pencil skirt, I realized good ol' Dr. Shrink has kinda gotten an eyeful all these years! LOL

ETA: Angie, the belt is gray -- a little darker than the pants!

Love this on you! The bright green pairs so beautifully with the grey. Fab wide leg trousers!

Oh what a fabulous color combo! I would copy except that I don't wear that shade of green. Please repeat so that I may enjoy often ^^ I have a soft spot for that style of scarf, even though I don't wear it.

PS: I adore those wide leg trousers. Soooo fab.

I like that scarf. It adds a lot of sophistication.

Apple green and grey is a great colour combo, btw. (As if you didn't know, lol)

LOVE the apple green! Your top and jacket seem to match exactly but they are from different shops? Well done

What a delicious color that apple green is! It looks fantastic on you, as do those wide legged pants.

I'll bet you're Dr. Shrink's favorite client

Apple green with grey--I love it! And clever You to choose this scarf to finish off the outfit.
So will you continue wearing skirts to see Dr. Shrink?

Cheered me up! Great outfit! Funny anecdote!
Thanks!

Oh my, I never thought about leg issues and sitting with a skirt or dress, haha! I never tire of these trousers. I want to see more outfits with them. Let's see, pink and grey is always lovely (or purple, or blue). Oh, do these work with your new favorite top (the white printed one)?

I love the wide-legged pants! The green looks so fresh and summery.

You all are so funny! Yes, I will continue to wear skirts to see Dr. Shrink. I figure by this time he's seen whatever there is to see! LOL And perhaps it doesn't look quite as alarming in the consulting room as it did in the salon in front of the full-length mirror. At least, that's what I keep telling myself...

How did I miss this outfit before? I love your pencil skirts but it is somehow refreshing to see you rocking wide legs
Grey and apple green - what a happy color combo!

The grey and apple green are beautiful together. Wide trousers=Big Fun.
Your story reminded me of the Friends episode where a guy commando under his shorts reveals too much to whoever sits across from him.
