Love the red coat and the size of the houndstooth is bold and modern without being costumey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-110-i-got-houndstooth-on-a-rainy-day#post-814607 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 22:34:05 +0000 Dana 814607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab!

I've had a VERY similar houndstooth suit for YEARS and have never actually worn the two pieces together. But I'm loving what you've done with the opaque tights and patterned top--may just have to replicate this one, MaryK! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-110-i-got-houndstooth-on-a-rainy-day#post-814529 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 21:43:13 +0000 Anonymous 814529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have topped even your own high style line.

The teeth become you, and juxtapose cleverly with the ladylike vibe. This is like "hounds of hell" in a very good way.</p> <p>ETA - Oh, I just got the title of your post, and now I'm singing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-110-i-got-houndstooth-on-a-rainy-day#post-814505 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 21:23:43 +0000 morethanbeige 814505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is vintage MaryK style at it's best and it gets no better than this! Your signature style and just fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-110-i-got-houndstooth-on-a-rainy-day#post-814490 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 21:08:10 +0000 Laurie 814490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's so interesting how the effect builds in each picture -- adding jacket and bag and then.....what blew me away ....the coat (and the jacket and the bag)! Do not take that awesome coat off -- it's so amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-110-i-got-houndstooth-on-a-rainy-day#post-814488 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 21:05:11 +0000 Suz 814488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I literally gasped. I am not joking. GASPED with pleasure. </p> <p>That is so awesome I don't think I will get over it for the next month. And in your honour, tomorrow I am breaking out my houndstooth jacket and red coat. Sadly, I do not have the skirt to match. But OH MY!!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-110-i-got-houndstooth-on-a-rainy-day#post-814482 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 20:59:24 +0000 Day Vies 814482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how the belt toughens up a "ladies who lunch" type look. The red gives it so much energy. I also love the pattern mixing -- the pattern on your blouse is too cute. Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-110-i-got-houndstooth-on-a-rainy-day#post-814411 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 20:13:37 +0000 Angie 814411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How can this outfit - with and without the layers - be anything but KILLER to the power of KILLER. </p> <p>So maximal. So matchy-matchy. So fun. So flattering. And best of all - SO Mary. </p> <p>20 out of 10!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-110-i-got-houndstooth-on-a-rainy-day#post-814390 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 19:59:51 +0000 kellygirl 814390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE it. I especially love it in 1--when you can get the full effect of the pattern mixing. You are beyond fab, MaryK! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-110-i-got-houndstooth-on-a-rainy-day#post-814386 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 19:57:13 +0000 Anonymous 814386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well this is a "lot of look" but I love it on you. I was kind of hankering for more red, and then I saw the coat in the last picture. Pattern mixing perfection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-110-i-got-houndstooth-on-a-rainy-day#post-814320 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 19:08:48 +0000 Jules 814320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I guess I prefer mix to match, because I absolutely love #1 and would never have thought it would work... but it does, oh it does. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-110-i-got-houndstooth-on-a-rainy-day#post-814315 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 19:05:58 +0000 Anonymous 814315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maximal at its best.

Lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-110-i-got-houndstooth-on-a-rainy-day#post-814300 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 18:56:03 +0000 Transcona Shannon 814300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Total houndstooth happiness from me! I love houndstooth and IMO, you can never have too much of it. The blouse goes perfeclty and of course, I adore red, white and black together. You know Natalie and her love of matchy-matchy is going to go nuts over this, right?</p> <p>And you found that fab bag through consignment??? It's amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-110-i-got-houndstooth-on-a-rainy-day#post-814290 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 18:48:54 +0000 Angie 814290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*faints* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-110-i-got-houndstooth-on-a-rainy-day#post-814277 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 18:37:41 +0000 catgirl 814277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No horror from me - it is so you and looks great here with the dark underlayer... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-110-i-got-houndstooth-on-a-rainy-day#post-814275 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 18:36:24 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 814275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty awesome outfit! I love 1 and 3--gorgeous squared! Pic 2 is also great; I guess I do go for less baring of the teeth, just a wee bit better. You pull it all off beautifully. For me, the belt really makes the outfit--it launches it into the "ah, yes!" category. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-110-i-got-houndstooth-on-a-rainy-day#post-814273 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 18:35:25 +0000 Thistle 814273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too distracted by the fabulous bag!! Must focus!!</p> <p>I prefer it with the suit jacket on, but then I am still new to all this pattern mixing. In my part of the country, it still hasn't caught on and people just look at you funny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-110-i-got-houndstooth-on-a-rainy-day#post-814270 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 18:32:17 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 814270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it - fab in my opinion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-110-i-got-houndstooth-on-a-rainy-day#post-814269 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 18:30:59 +0000 MsMary 814269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought this skirt and jacket during Shoptoberfest, and I recall some horrified squeals from my YLF sisters at the very thought of wearing them together. And yet... I am kind of digging it!</p> <p>Houndstooth knit skirt and jacket: Ellen Tracy via Marshall's<br /> Black butterfly print blouse: Comptoir Des Cotonniers<br /> Black studded belt: Target<br /> Black tights: Target<br /> Black platform loafers: Adrienne Vittadini<br /> Black/red ombre bag: consignment<br /> Red raincoat: Burberry via consignment</p> <p>One thing that is super fun about this outfit is that almost all of it was purchased with the help of fellow YLFers! The suit is from Shoptoberfest and I bought the blouse and coat in NYC last winter with the help of Zapotee! SO FUN!!!</p> <p>What do you think? Too many hounds' teeth, or fun and fab? </p>
