WIW 6/9 and 6/10: White skirt and blue blazer times two

I only realized after work today that I basically wore the same thing to work two days in a row: White skirt with blue blazer. Whoops! LOL

1/2. It's been a while since The Cutest Purse in the World (TCPITW) had an outing, and it had a grand old time with mint, black, and white and a dash of cobalt.

White pencil skirt: Halogen
Mint shirt: Jones New York (it looks light blue in the photo but it's light mint)
Black studded belt: Target
Cobalt blazer: Eliza J
Black pumps: Target
TCPITW: Gaya

3. I liked this outfit, and I wasn't the only one -- as I was entering an office building on a lunchtime errand, I ran into a 20-something young lady on her way out who squealed "You look so cute! I love your outfit!" Big fun to get compliments from strangers!

White midi: Zara
Striped tee: Merona
Navy linen blazer: Olivia Moon
Studded belt: Streets Ahead
Yellow tote: TIgnanello
Yellow pumps: Madden Girl

Am I the only one who's accidentally worn almost the same thing two days in a row? Do you think it looks odd? Inquiring minds want to know!!

I am virtually squealing with your complimenting 20 yr old, these are so polished but fun. I don't know how you do it! The buttondown in 1/2 looks so pristine and TCPITW is always fun. The second outfit looks completely different. I can't imagine anyone thinking that you were wearing the same outfit . It is just as fab to my stripe-loving eye.

MsLuna

The colour combinations on all outfits are fab, though I'm really liking how you styled outfit #1! The colour of that shirt combined with white is gorgeous! Love the silhouette and stripes in #3

Gracie

Happy to see a button down getting some love - the mint color is gorgeous combined with the white pencil skirt, you look super fit and polished. The purse is indeed the cutest. The outfits have completely different lines, so I think you can keep alternating them this week

Hah! What a terrible fashion faux pas(ref.blue blazer 2 days in a row:-)).

Esp loved nr 1 but the young girl was also right! YLF Mary, feel like men are lurking around:-)

I have done this before with outfits! I think yours are different enough that no one would notice - and even if they did, both outfits are fab anyway! I love that mint button down in #1.

Neel

Ummm .. What similar outfit?! MsMary you are kidding right? :). Different silhouettes, different blues and different vibes! Nope I wouldnt have noticed you wore blue and white two days in a row. And I would like to join the squeeling 20 something girl :D. You do look cute!

I think although the colours are similar, they are entirely different outfits! Gorgeous.

Windchime

Wow! I never would have thought you were wearing the same outfit; I would be too busy taking in the awesome details of each one and squealing along with the twenty year old! What a gorgeous button down in #1, and I love the suble nautical vibe paired with that beautiful buttery yellow in #2.

I love both outfits and they look very different and not like repeats.
The 20 year old was right, you look fab!

Laurie

I would have stopped you, too!
Love both of these outfits 110%.

Lisa

I would not have thought these were similar outfits two days in a row because the blues are very different in shade. If the shades were closer together, maybe it would be more noticeable. Nothing odd to me.

Transcona Shannon

Wow Mary - you are launching me into orbit with these two outfits! Both absolutely GORGEOUS. I don't see them as similar actually because of the different tones and silhouettes. And of course you were complimented

#1 takes the cake for me! Subtle sheen, studs, fab!
I'm sure I wear similar things 2 days in a row. Probably on casual days with jeans.

LACeleste

2 super outfits that I will copy! Looking gorgeous!

I especially love the fist outfit; pale blue & white. Very pretty and crisp.

Nebraskim

I so love that mint blouse. Both outfits look so fresh. I actually sometimes try to do "outfit" duplicates with little twists. For instance, I will wear denim skirts several days in a row...day one is a dark wash hollywood waist skirt made of denim; the next might be a five-pocket denim skirt in mint; the next day, a white denim five pocket; then a dark chambray gored a-line; and finally, a full on jeans skirt. It's kind of a little mind trick I play. It's a riff on your wearing halogen pencil skirts, where the line and style is similar but you are changing up the color and accessories. To others, it looks like new outfits every day (and it is) but it's riffing on a common theme.

Aida

I do this too Mary. It is especially almost inevitable when you have preferred silhouettes and colors, which I know neither of us has hehe ^^ But I do wear lots of white, so it happens to me there. These two outfits are quite different in silhouette and even in color saturation that they don't read similarly at all. Both fab! Nice to see TCPITW come out to play

Zibbets

Both gorgeous and I don't think it's the same outfit at all. The cut of the skirt and the hue of the blazer are different enough, plus the bold stripe.

I'm in love with the mint/white combo, and with that belt?? Fierce. #2 is bold and graphic and fab in a whole different way.

ElleH

Wow, just wow! So crisp & polished for Summer! Love the white on you.

Sara L.

I love the studded belt with the light colors of your outfit. I'm going to copy outfit #2 sometime very soon. I love the yellow shoes with the blue stripes!

Same formula but completely different outfits - which you rocked like A Brilliant Business Bombshell. xo
