Feeling kinda Green!

"The school of excellence and the forgotten color."



My Philadelphia correspondent and High Brow contributor "Can We Get Married at the Mall" sent me a slew of great additions to the blog which included this fancy little number by Milly in the often forgotten about and underrated color of green.

Each piece is over $250 so I would put this in the high brow category. I love this look completely but as I always say I must stay in my own financial lane and let this be the inspiration for what I wore to work today.  I also wore Green and white in celebration of the first win of the football season for my alma mater Cass Technical High School, beating Birmingham's Brother Rice 25-18.

I was saving this for some special event that would include maybe finger sandwiches and tea at a yacht club or something, but since summer is coming to a close and I haven't been invited to high tea yet I thought "Hey What am I saving this for!" So I just had a Perrier sparkling water in the cafe with my pinky finger extended.

I'm really into bows right now

 
 
Madame's lesson for today.

    Thanks for featuring green MB... Unless its prep school, country club, or high tea it is often forgotten in fashion. Even by industry it seems... With bold hues there is a fine line between amazing style and "what were you thinking". Green requires balance: the solid skirt with black tights / shoe boots in the Milly look; and the solid green jacket with striped white / green dress on MB. Too much and you will definitely look like you take naps on a lilly pad. Go ahead and bring some fun and new dimension to your wardrobe.

    MB your look is FLAWLESS and gives the perfect perspective on green. Indeed very Perrier with pinky finger extension worthy! And representing the Technicians... LOL, I'm such a bad alum!
