WIW 8/20: More black and white - with aqua this time!

Counting down to the big move on Sunday, wearing the outfits I left out when I packed up all the rest of my clothes. This one features yet another awesome shirt sent to me by the awesome Carter. I love the color, and look! It matches my chair and ottoman!

Black and white skirt: Halogen
Aqua shirt: Lady Hathaway
White blazer: Olivia Moon
Black pumps: Target
White satchel: Banana Republic

I always appreciate the most honest feedback you care to give!

House news: Moving inside, here's the layout of the new master bath. Clockwise from top left, it's shower, clawfoot tub, double vanity, toilet. It kind of looks like a crime scene photo at this point! Multiple fixturecide! LOL

Yep! I knew that would be my favorite on you! Great size on the MBA. Can't wait to see it done!

JayS

Wow..that aqua loves you! And I love that jacket!
Will the bath be ready when you move in?

Your outfits always look great - so fresh and sassy. You have the slimmest, most gorgeous ankles I think I've ever seen!

I'm really loving your house reno updates.

MsMary

Thanks, ladies! I really appreciate your humoring me on the renovation updates!

JayS, I'm moving on Sunday so the master bath will most definitely not be ready. I will be camped out in the guest room and using the guest bath. We are on the tear-out-one-bathroom-at-a-time plan. Fortunately we decided not to touch the kitchen this time around so I will have a functioning kitchen. And the fridge and washer and dryer are being delivered on Saturday.

Love this. The print of the skirt is wonderful and plays so well with the aqua.

I'm very impressed at how fast your renovations are moving along. You must have hired the only non foot dragging contractors on the planet.

Great outfit

Suz

Wow. I cannot BELIEVE your awesome house.

I also adore that skirt and think it is perfect paired with the generous and lovely Carter's top.

Janet

I love seeing the updates on your house -- and it's making me want to redo our master bath SO bad. It really, really needs it.

But more importantly, you look fantastic as always. Awesome Carter's awesome top looks amazing on you. Is there any color you can't wear?

You are the BEST dressed Remodel Biz Bombshell. xo

Marley

Great outfit Mary! Can't believe that you're able to look so good when there is so much chaos around you! You must have really planned out the clothes that you were going to keep out this week. I like the looks of your bathroom. Claw foot tub sounds wonderful!

Zibbets

Oooh, that aqua and white with black is a delicious combo! As Marley said, you look so polished and put together even with so many irons in the fire. Well done!
I have some cropped pants in a near-identical print to your skirt. Maybe I should try them with aqua??

Jaime

Gorgeous! And I love a clawfoot tub!

Thanks so much for the encouragement, everyone! I know I've said this before, but this house project is absolutely a dream come true for me! I was telling my contractor the other day that I've done smaller projects before (bathroom, landscaping, decorating), but this one is for sure my master's thesis in House Projects!

We're thinking of painting the outside of the tub silver...

I've always loved your aqua chair and how fun to have a shirt that matches.

Besides being amazed at how fast your contractors are working, I'm impressed that you know exactly what you want, no dilly-dallying -- guess the whole process goes so much faster when you don't have to come to an agreement with anyone else. Yay for Queen's Landing!

Gingko, that is the best part!! The only one who has to agree is ME!! And also, I am utterly convinced that the reason it's gone so quickly and smoothly so far is that my contractor is a woman. We just communicate really well and oh my gosh! She knows how to keep things moving!

And Marley, yes. I planned out my outfits for this week before I packed up the rest of the clothes. Makes the mornings a lot easier!

Oh my--you have plumbing in your exterior walls? You must live somewhere warm. We can't do that here for fear of the pipes freezing (and thus bursting) in winter.
Love the tape outlines!
Oh and the outfit is terrific. I am going to remember this when my aqua T-shirt comes. I cannot believe how good you look given the chaos you are living in!

Neel

Count me as another one who is loving your house updates! We are working on our dream house and it is so hard to come to an agreement! (Contemporary versus modern!). I have almost given up

You look lovely and manage to look composed and cool even in the moving mayhem! Awesome!

fuzzylogic

I am so impressed that you manage to stay looking completely sharp with everything else going on!!!

LOVE the bathroom layout- looking forward to completion photos, too!!!! (my voyeuristic tendencies emerging, there.... )
