WIW 9/19: Anna's Atlantic-Pacific Challenge at the Beauty Salon

Super excited because I got my Brazilian blow-out today and am loving my limp, lank locks! (Bonus "after" pic #3 with my stylist!)

When Anna posted this link to Atlantic-Pacific last night I was super excited because although I don't have a cognac leather jacket, I do have neon green pieces for the base layer. You can't see it very well, but the belt is purple! And although a tan bag would have been closer to the original, I thought the python bag was too fab with the neon to pass up!

Neon cropped pants: GAP
Neon silk blouse: Ann Taylor
Leopard cardi: JC Penney
Brown gladiator sandals: Payless
Python bag: Elliott Lucca
Purple snake belt: consignment

I'm kind of happy with how this turned out, even though I know it's pretty wacky! As I was walking to my car after the hair appointment, a stylish lady said "I love your colors!" as our paths crossed, which was fun!

What say you all?

That is some sleek, silky hair MK, love it! I just KNEW you'd be able to take the challenge, and look how well you did! Great citron and leopard, and the new snake bag is just perfect. I'm so glad someone IRL appreciated your fab style!

Awesome! I knew you could do it.

Deborah

Well I think you give Atlantic-Pacific a run for her money! This is wonderful. Amazing colors, great silhoutte an perhaps more unexpected elements here than on AP's version. No question you rose to the challenge:)

rae

Yowza! So bright you got to wear shades. What a perfect MaryK interpretation! I like how you used the leopard in your sweater instead of the bag.

Carole

Wow, stunning, Mary. Love it all and the "do" is extra fab. You look so youthful!

Fabulous! Big love!

Great interpretation MaryK. Did you have the color adjusted to remove the red undertone? It looks very pretty.

Jaime

You have met the challenge beautifully and originally - amazing! I have heard of Brazilian blow outs but have never seen what they do in such a clear way. Thanks for cluing me in!

MsMary

Aw, thank you! And I don't know if you can see it here, but I did the mint green fingernail polish like A-P, too!

Same old hair color -- I think the lighting in the salon is just different from the Woman Cave so it looked different!

Transcona Shannon

Totally pulled if off!

This is such a bold look--I really love it!! I can't get over how the two neon pieces seem to match perfectly :). Dazzling style!

Kyle

Hard to get past the fab, TDF hair. But the outfit is awesome, too. Brilliant all the way around.

deb

Love the colors!

Suz

You are AMAZING!!! This is so wild. I think you should send this pic to the Atlantic Pacific girl. She needs to see it.

Pass the sunglasses! I think this must be the brightest outfit I've ever seen here. (Okay, I haven't been here long, but still.)

You are absolutely fearless, MaryK. Such fun!

I have to say, a trip to the hair salon was the perfect setting for this crazy outfit! I went for an eye exam afterwards and I must admit I got a few sidelong glances in the waiting room! LOL

Fabulous outfit. Beautiful hair. And what a great person/friend to go along with Anna's challenge - you help make YLF such a fun place!

People at the eye dr. probably thought you NEED your eyes checked.

MNsara

Well done, MaryK!! You take a challenge seriously - mint fingernails!!

I love your cardi with the neo citron I'll bet you did get some glances - of envy

Your hair looks super fabulous too!

kellygirl

There's just no way you are a clone! Original and fab - you look terrific!

Jenava

I LOVE it. Well done! Love that pop of purple, too.

jayne

You are so much fun! Love those sidelong glances, they tell me I am doing something, right or wrong, something. Nobody looks at me when I wear jeans and a tshirt! I love how you used a cardi instead of the purse...you have such great imagination. and not a little bit of daring either.
