WIW 6/14: Apple green and watercolor blue

MsMary

Veteran

I'm in full "uniform" mode this week -- skirt, top, topper, pumps, lather, rinse, repeat. I got this skirt last year and it's been a real summer workhorse!

Watercolor print skirt: Halogen
Navy tee: Royalton
Apple green blazer: GAP
White/navy/gold pumps: Seychelles
White satchel: Banana Republic
"Pearls:" J Crew

Thanks for looking. Do you think I'm in a rut?

Ooooo....juicy. Love that color --apple green--on you.

I love your work uniform.

Never a rut - a rut is when it is boring and does not give you satisfaction. I like the different top shape here and the pearls are a fun touch!

You have so many permutations of the same silhouettes, but the patterns and colours and accessories make each iteration unique. So, no, not a rut at all.

You look fabulous.

So pretty! I love the apple green blazer. No rut at all - you know what formula works for you and you work this formula to perfection!

Beautiful summery outfit. And I love the aqua chair that co-stars with you!

Fabulous! and what a rich green. No rut from where I'm standing. Each outfit is unique and I wouldn't have it any other way

I don't think you're in a rut at all. You mix it up from time to time, and you're never boring.

No possible rut with a punch of color liek that bright green blazer! You look vibrant and ready to tackle your day!

I love the color of your jacket - it's so vibrant and summery. The necklaces look great against your navy top.

SO not in a rut. If it's fabulous (look and feel), no need to fix it.

You wear this work uniform like no other. You have refreshed it this season by:

adding new accessory accents - this year it was all about white
wearing your items in new combinations - this year there was less pattern mixing and more neutral application
wearing pastels

There you go, lady with the KILLER Biz Bombshell style

Angie, thanks so much for this insightful and encouraging post! I'm not very good at style analysis and it's so awesome that you are keeping track of my style and can see that it's evolving rather than stagnating! XXX OOO

You might be in a gorgeous rut... That's not so bad.

Mary, I'm positively swooning over the jumble of pearls on the navy T. Swooning, I tell you!

Far from being in a rut, I see you as one of the lucky ones who has developed a true signature style. And as Angie says, it's ever evolving. Rock it girlfriend!

You look stunning MaryK, so far from being in a rut. Angie has put everything in words so much more eloquently than I ever could. Your outfits always make me smile.

I don't know you well enough to comment on if you're in a rut (obviously not according to Angie) but even if you were its a really really nice rut! I'd be very apply with a rut like yours Absolutely delicious colours!

Ooh, the pearls and the shoes really make this sing! Man, I love that watercolor print.

ETA: just saw your question - I don't think you're in a rut at all! You are using your FFBO formula during a stressful time. And even though YOU know it's a uniform, I can assure you that no one else out there does!

I want that skirt! Oh that skirt! Ahhhhh!

Mary - I think one of your best colors is blue - it is just gorgeous against your skin and your eyes absolutely are stunning when you wear blue! I love this outfit best without the jacket. I think the green takes away from the beautiful calming "watercolory" pattern of the skirt - I would just want that skirt to shine - no need for a bright color to disrupt the flow of that beautiful pattern.

I ditto what Angie said - no rut at all from my perspective. You have demonstrated very aptly what and how to take a signature silhouette and keep it modern, up-to-date and current (with a little bit of trendy thrown in there!) Also, as long as you feel good and are having fun with you outfits, then no way you're ever going to be a rut!

I fell in love with that skirt last year and I still love it. I get to enjoy it vicariously on you!

Not a rut at all. I would say a gorgeous groove. You are looking very Tory Burch too. Which is a high compliment from me, even though I don't consider my style preppy. However I admire this style very much (it just doesn't fit my lifestyle).
