WIW 11/9: Blogger Copycat Preview -- Chambray and Floral

MsMary

I love Allie over at Wardrobe Oxygen, and this chambray top with floral bottom outfit is one of my faves! I have the day off today and have the perfect agenda for putting this beauty into action: mani/pedi, then lunch with a friend! I traded the piles of pearls for an arm party, and because it's a little cool I added the red cardi. And because it's me, I added the leopard pumps! Happiness factor = 1,000,000!

Chambray shirt: Foxcroft
Floral satin skirt: Talbots via consignment
Leopard pumps: Jessica Simpson
Burgundy clutch: Nine West
Black studded belt: Target
Red cardi: Philosophy

Thanks for looking! Can't wait for the challenge to begin "officially" on Monday!

Don't you just love happiness scale = 1,000,000 days!! What a fun combo. I love what you did with the leopard and print skirt. It's kind of a lot of skirt for me... I am still stuck on pencil skirts... but very cute combo.

You really are getting a jump start on the challenge and doing it beautifully! I posted my five picks for the challenge on my blog today and can't wait to do my photo shoot this weekend!

What a great copycat look. I actually prefer yours because the floral skirt is very unexpected dressed down with the chambray top.

Amazing copy! And your title of Queen Always Looks Better than Her Inspiration Outfit is so deserved--love your version so much more! Twirly skirts and leopard and floral makes me smile!

Amazing skirt! How clever to pair with this shirt too!
Sounds like a great fun day ahead, and you won't go un-noticed wearing this stand-out ensemble.

Fun challenge! I love seeing inspiration photos with outfit photos. The skirt is very dramatic and looks good with the chambray top and leopard print heels.

Great interpretation Mary! You look decidedly fun and feminine.

Is the skirt a little big? Looks like it's hanging too low on your waist. Can you hike it up a bit or cinch it with the belt?

Thank you, ladies! I had fun in this crazy outfit today!

Denise, you have a sharp eye! The skirt is indeed a bit big in the waist. I ended up doing a little shopping after lunch and after all the changing-room action I ended the day with the shirt tails out and the belt over the shirt, which disguised the saggy waist of the skirt and looked better, I think!

Great interpretation - love the floral with the leopard pumps.

Super fun Mary! Love the mix of denim with the flowered pattern! ANd the leopard shoes are a perfect touch of MaryKfabness. I too noticed that the skirt is a little big at the waist - but sounds like you got it figured out!

That is a truly beautiful skirt. I love your interpretation. Given how fabulous the skirt is, do you think you might have the waist taken in?

I love, love, love that skirt. If only I had someplace I could wear it to... I have been hankering for a swishy floral skirt, and I kind of thought they were a summer thing. Not necessarily, apparently.

MsMary

Veteran

Wow, Angie! Thank you! That makes my day!!!

JR, this skirt is heavy satin and the background is black, so I feel like it is very winter-holidays-y!

Deborah, I think you have a good idea about seeing if I can get it taken in! Thanks!

And BTW, the friend with whom I had lunch could not stop talking about how "fashionable" I looked! LOL
