Sometimes when I am feeling particularly put-together in a ladies-who-lunch way, I call it my "real estate agent" look! So I think you are on the right track re: lunch companion!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-wear-to-lunch-with-maryk#post-399391 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 18:27:30 +0000 Ornella 399391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My friend is a painter, she started as botanical artist. I never knew such thing existed until I met her. She now does many art forms. Amazing artist and woman, and wonderful wonderful friend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-wear-to-lunch-with-maryk#post-399292 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 15:09:01 +0000 Suz 399292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ornella, that is so sweet! What kind of artist is your friend? </p> <p>Thanks again, everyone, for such cheering! I will certainly be keeping all these items. And looking for more in that shade of purple! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-wear-to-lunch-with-maryk#post-399212 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 10:55:31 +0000 Deborah 399212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, just stunning!! Love that purple on you. The shoes, everything looks fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-wear-to-lunch-with-maryk#post-399207 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 10:38:07 +0000 Ornella 399207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I have to admit one thing - you remind me soooo much of a dear friend of mine (especially that photo on your page), it also helps that you are both artists, so it does not matter what you put on - I love seeing you as it instantly reminds me of one amazing person :)</p> <p>Now, about the clothes... what a score! The shirt is jaw-droppingly beautiful. That color... the fabric. The bag is wonderful. The shoes are fantastic. The jacket looks great. The skirt is also a winner with my only reservation being linen-related, but if you like linen than I think this will be a wardrobe workhorse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-wear-to-lunch-with-maryk#post-399107 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 03:47:57 +0000 Kyle 399107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a very chic, lovely outfit. The shoes are great, and the color of the blouse is just beautiful on you. Red bag is the icing on the cake. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-wear-to-lunch-with-maryk#post-399091 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 03:16:44 +0000 sarah 399091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh that shirt is GORGEOUS on you! And purple shoes - what FUN! I absolutely adore your garden : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-wear-to-lunch-with-maryk#post-399045 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 02:04:42 +0000 modgrl 399045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that purple and white on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-wear-to-lunch-with-maryk#post-399044 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 02:02:07 +0000 Suz 399044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, thank you Yellowgirl and Jonesy and Sveta! </p> <p>Do you know what is really odd? </p> <p>Until YLF, I don't think I had EVER WORN THAT COLOUR!!! </p> <p>Okay - not completely true. I do have a slightly lighter (but same colour family) tee. And I had a DNKY cardi in a heather tone, very similar but softer; it is now too large and worn out. </p> <p>But I rarely if ever looked at purples or "phlox" as a colour for myself. </p> <p>I guess I'll have to do some serious shopping while it's on trend! </p> <p>MaryK, do you know that writer-ladies don't lunch? 'Cause they don't. Those who don't have kids go out to the pub at 4 pm, after the writing day is done. </p> <p>And my MOTG friends would probably fall on their faces if I showed up in that ensemble at our local eatery. I'm all for being dressier than others, but I think I'm going to have to take it in small steps. After all, I wore that same jacket with jeans to a recent lunch and got accused of "dressing up too much." Sigh...</p> <p>The only person I can think of who would appreciate that outfit is our former real estate agent. Guess I'll have to give her a call! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-wear-to-lunch-with-maryk#post-399033 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 01:51:57 +0000 Sveta 399033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I just have to drive to Kingston to see your amazing courtyard and all your fab finds! I agree with Angie - that purple shirt is amazing on you. As for the purple shoes - nothing can beat that - even if they are not that practical for your cobblestones...:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-wear-to-lunch-with-maryk#post-398979 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 01:06:34 +0000 Jonesy 398979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything looks perfect on you!! Love love love!</p> <p>I just need to add that you have the loveliest, most natural smile in your WIW pics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-wear-to-lunch-with-maryk#post-398868 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 22:48:28 +0000 yellowgirl 398868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - that color purple looks AMAZING on you! Definitely keep! And purple shoes? Fabulous!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-wear-to-lunch-with-maryk#post-398836 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 21:30:29 +0000 MsMary 398836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, just call up a friend and schedule a "ladies who lunch" lunch! Easy peasy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-wear-to-lunch-with-maryk#post-398833 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 21:28:21 +0000 Suz 398833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&lt;blushes furiously&gt; </p> <p>Thank you, everyone! </p> <p>Now, I just have to find the right occasion for the outfit, since MaryK sadly lives an awfully long way from me. And as a writer, I can't pretend that I'll be wearing a linen pencil skirt on my work-at-home days. </p> <p>However...it was very, very inexpensive with the sale price, so probably worth hanging onto as a good basic, since it fits well. </p> <p>And the other stuff I will certainly mix and match. I've had the jacket since April and until it got too hot I wore it constantly, with just about everything and anything. </p> <p>The shoes, by the way, are inexpensive Aerosoles. I think they come in red, too, or maybe it was a bright green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-wear-to-lunch-with-maryk#post-398803 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 21:07:22 +0000 greenglove 398803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it all- you are so pretty and polished in all of it. That purple is amazing on you, I love red and purple, I do not see one item that is not a keeper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-wear-to-lunch-with-maryk#post-398798 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 20:54:32 +0000 Aida 398798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great purchases, I like the whole lot! You look amazing in that shade of purple. LOVE the military detailing on the blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-wear-to-lunch-with-maryk#post-398728 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 19:24:20 +0000 Marley 398728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely gorgeous! I love the combinations of the different colors - so well put together! You would do MaryK proud! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-wear-to-lunch-with-maryk#post-398724 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 19:20:48 +0000 Angie 398724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, you look INCREDIBE in that shade of purple. My goodness. Is that your colour or what. Wow!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-wear-to-lunch-with-maryk#post-398713 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 19:15:09 +0000 Inge 398713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW Suz, the colour of that button-down is gorgeous on you!! And who wouldn't love purple shoes, yum!<br /> I'm always a bit worried about linen getting wrinkly quickly, but the skirt looks fab on you, in fact this entire outfit is fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-would-wear-to-lunch-with-maryk#post-398712 Fri, 05 Aug 2011 19:14:00 +0000 Anonymous 398712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely, lady who would like to lunch!

All fashion errors are mine alone. </p> <p>So. I got a few things on sale. Keep or return? </p> <p>1. Banana Republic linen pencil skirt<br /> 2. Cotton sateen shirt in...something that looks a lot like Pantone's "phlox." Looks like it is pulling a bit in the pic without the jacket, but it feels okay on...no gaping. </p> <p>The jacket is Ann Taylor. It's hard to see here but there are epaulettes on the shoulder, and some wrist detail so it has a slight military flair. </p> <p>The shoes are purple, not blue. </p> <p>The bag was thrifted yesterday! I don't know what era it is, but I got it for an amazing price and it appears genuine to me. </p> <p>Comments welcome. </p>
