One a teacher, the other a nurse. Both work full time and go to school at night. Neither live at home now; we're empty nesters!</p> <p>But thank you for your compliment -- I don't hear that as much lately since I hit menopause this past year. IRL and in better lighting you can definitely see my wrinkles more clearly -- as well as the silvering hair. When we renovated I did ask our designer to give us "flattering lighting" all around. Heh. Sue me. LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/irl-pattern-mixing-master#post-1977820 Thu, 29 Nov 2018 01:04:34 +0000 kkards 1977820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sweater and blazer have a touch of NE preppy...but then she takes it in a while different direction. Wow.<br /> And yes to Mariska on L&amp;O—one of the few tv characters who I like dressed “real”. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/irl-pattern-mixing-master#post-1977819 Thu, 29 Nov 2018 00:56:47 +0000 Canada 1977819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No way you have a daughter in college!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/irl-pattern-mixing-master#post-1977765 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 16:25:14 +0000 shiny 1977765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! I've had that hat forever. But "lost" it for awhile as my daughter borrowed it and took it to college. It's getting a bit ratty so I would love to find a replacement. I am also craving a similar hat, in red. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/irl-pattern-mixing-master#post-1977762 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 16:05:10 +0000 Angie 1977762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are SUPER CUTE in that hat, <b>Jennifer.&nbsp;</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/irl-pattern-mixing-master#post-1977750 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 15:12:04 +0000 Angie 1977750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love her school blazer with the V-neck pullover. Nice red pants too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Here are the Blair boots - and already a Fab Find in that colourway </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/irl-pattern-mixing-master#post-1977738 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 13:40:53 +0000 lyn67 1977738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No wonders (if she is an interior designer), LOVE you had the guts to stop her, why not, I would have been flattered!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/irl-pattern-mixing-master#post-1977733 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 11:57:07 +0000 Katerina 1977733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what a great outfit your new acquaintance was wearing - so sophisticated and interesting, and elegant too. Thank you for sharing it.<br />I like your outfit very much too - lovely silhouette and such a pretty clutch. The sweater jacket is super. <br />The gold boots are great, I think they would work nicely with many different outfits and give some more punch to neutrals.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/irl-pattern-mixing-master#post-1977711 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 05:31:17 +0000 shiny 1977711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/member/jnilesdehoff/">Jessikams</a>, YES! I study her outfits all the time. Mariska on L&amp;O has a formula: black pants, V neck blouses/sweaters, dark blazer, fabulous trench coat. Shoes-- never notice them actually and come to think of it...</p> <p>As I said there's a part of me that wants to dress like Mariska, and another part that wants to dress more boldly like this example, yet in a controlled way, like she's done.</p> <p>I am wondering how my outfit might look with those gold velvet Blair's. Or if I'd worn patterned pants with it. I mean I have patterned pants and I could do all this and I might try such outfits on but before I leave I chicken out and change and go more safe.</p> <p>I also love how this woman mixed the sheer blouse with the sweater with the emblem with the striped blazer. So many layers.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/irl-pattern-mixing-master#post-1977708 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 05:14:05 +0000 SarahD8 1977708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the leopard clutch with the fuzzy toque — cool juxtaposition. Can’t wait to see the gold booties in action! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/irl-pattern-mixing-master#post-1977707 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 04:41:39 +0000 rachylou 1977707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cool she was willing to share.

I was channeling Mariska Hargitay ala Law &amp; Order. Huge fan of her style of dress too!&nbsp; I am often so torn between safe capsule dressing in neutrals.. vs exciting pattern mixing!&nbsp;</p> <p>Pic 1--&nbsp;<br />- Alfani sweater jacket with fluted sleeves (last year)<br />- BR V neck merino wool olive sweater (last year)<br />- LOFT 5 pocket ponte pants (last year)<br />- Leopard clutch (hard to see in the photo but imagine)<br />- Naturalizer Blair's in black (yes I duplicated! oh these are so so comfy....)</p> <p>Pic 2 -&nbsp;<br />- LOFT navy/ink peacoat over it all .. you can see the leopard clutch here a little better.</p> <p>Sorry pics so dark. Took them when I came home.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/irl-pattern-mixing-master#post-1977696 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 03:40:46 +0000 Elizabeth P 1977696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic!<br /> And how kind of her to allow you to share. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/irl-pattern-mixing-master#post-1977694 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 03:34:26 +0000 SarahD8 1977694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW.

I love how she blends all those patterns and controls the look with the palette. Great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/irl-pattern-mixing-master#post-1977690 Wed, 28 Nov 2018 03:10:37 +0000 shiny 1977690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Went to a member appreciation party at Harvard Art Museum tonight and met this women. She was walking by and I couldn't help say "I love your outfit!" so she stopped. She allowed me to take a pic of her outfit to share here. I absolutely love everything about this! Such fantastic pattern mixing! Enlarge on your screen to see all the details.&nbsp;</p> <p>Turns out she's an interior designer and gave me her card. If you are local to Boston and looking for an interior designer let me know and I'll ping you her info.&nbsp;</p> <p>My outfit was nowhere near as exciting. Whenever it uploads to the cloud I'll share.&nbsp; </p>
