WIW 7/31: Summer White & Brown and bonus house shot

I think this must be one of my favorite Angie ensembles ever! As usual, I was able to shop my closet for a look I would never in a million years come up with on my own. Because today is a work day, I wasn't able to do the slouchy casual pieces in the original, but I look forward to trying out a more relaxed version on the weekend!

White pencil skirt: Halogen
White shirt: Kirkland (Costco)
White linen blazer: Olivia Moon
Brown belt: Target
Brown pumps: Jessica Simpson
Cognac satchel: Banana Republic

Happiness Factor: Very high! Thanks, Angie!! You've done it again!!

Oh, and bonus shot of the new house with the overgrown landscaping torn out! Big fun!!

Love this look on you. I like that it's sharper actually.

celia

Love the look on you. Very summer business look, imo.
I also love the photo of the house. Will you share interior decoration also(in off topic, of course :))?

MsMary

Thanks, ladies!

Celia, I will definitely be sharing the house saga in Off Topic. I am so stinkin' excited about the whole thing I can hardly contain myself!! (Although I must say we have a lot of demolition and construction to do before we can start with the interior decoration!!)

You look very nice. I often wear this colour combination and felt quite individual since brown has been out of vogue for years. Mixed neutrals ......divine. So much more classy than brights and fluros. I can imagine this outfit would look well with one animal print accessory in the mix too. Well done, you really do look fab!

Lookin' fab MsMary! Love the crisp white tailored look with the pops of rich brown. Your house is so cute, too!

This outfit is fantastic - nice and crisp and "snappy" looking!

Your house looks lovely Mary and what a beautiful looking neighborhood.

Gorgeous outfit--you do the white out well. I like how your brown accessories keep it fresh.

Love this outfit! And can't wait to see your house decorating adventures in off topic - I'm near to being able to decorate our new house too, and would love ideas....

Sveta

I think you created a perfect business casual interpretation of the ensemble. Are there belt loops on the skirt and if not - how are you keeping the belt stay put?
I knew you were looking for a house but did not know you already bought it. Congratulations! I am sure you will make it as beautiful as oyur Woman's Cave was. I love that this is not a new subdevision and there are huge old trees around..

Squee! The house! I missed that you found one. Congratulations!!

The outfit is fresh and beautiful on you as always. Looking forward to the weekend version.

I love this crisp and gorgeous version for work. And yay for the house purchase!

Really cute house!
I like the white with brown accents in your variation. I am on vacation this week but that outfit gives me inspiration for back to work looks.

Neel

Super crisp and gorgeous!! How do you pull such fab pieces out of your closet?!!! Just wow!

And the house looks fantastic!
