However #3-4 are great - and no belt is needed IMO.<br /> I envy your ability to look cool in pencil skirts - I don't feel the same way in them... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-and-13-variations-on-a-theme#post-501192 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 01:44:52 +0000 taylor 501192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FAB x 4...love how the scarf ties it all beautifully together!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-and-13-variations-on-a-theme#post-501186 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 01:32:53 +0000 Aida 501186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was also going to suggest that the tee in #1/2 looks a bit short for pants. For the scarf though, I vote messy instead of draped LOVE #3/4, this is such a gorgeous color combination. I think the blazer looks fine beltless. And have to say WHAT a cool heel on those nude pumps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-and-13-variations-on-a-theme#post-501129 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 00:17:27 +0000 Jjsloane 501129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE #4. Great color combination, fabulous print scarf. Fabulous YOU. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-and-13-variations-on-a-theme#post-501109 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 23:51:13 +0000 MsMary 501109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, I think you're right! I was looking at photos 1 and 2 and I think the top is too short for the skinny jeans! Mystery solved... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-and-13-variations-on-a-theme#post-501081 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 23:26:41 +0000 Lisa 501081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1-I like the colors mixed here. Perhaps the t-shirt is a tad on the shorter side in length and that's what threw off the outfit for you? I'd like to see an inch or so longer. This one looks more skirt friendly with the length.</p> <p>#4-I like this without the belt. The scarf would cover up a belt and the belt could potentially snag the scarf anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-and-13-variations-on-a-theme#post-501048 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 22:59:08 +0000 Ana 501048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both outfits, MaryK! The turquoise bottoms are fabulous and I love the chevron striped scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-and-13-variations-on-a-theme#post-501030 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 22:15:12 +0000 nancylee 501030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous as always. You really look great in turquoise, MK. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-and-13-variations-on-a-theme#post-501027 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 22:12:46 +0000 Sona 501027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just in LOVE with #4.</p> <p>Bookmarking to attempt a copycat some day!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-and-13-variations-on-a-theme#post-500934 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 19:38:50 +0000 lyn67 500934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Delighted of colour pairings in nr 4!!!!! and the white shirt is PERFECT indeed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-and-13-variations-on-a-theme#post-500839 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 17:55:29 +0000 Transcona Shannon 500839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The scarf is beyond fab MaryK! And each time you post an outfit I think it's my new favourite - that pic #4 is AMAZING! I'm really loving the nude shoe - I think I'm going to replace the red pumps on my spring 2012 purchase list with nude pumps - so beautiful and leg lengthening. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-and-13-variations-on-a-theme#post-500838 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 17:52:29 +0000 Jem 500838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of your outfits and really love #4! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-and-13-variations-on-a-theme#post-500785 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 17:12:46 +0000 MsMary 500785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies! I actually felt good at the float viewing but less so when I looked at the photos. Something about the hat (which was a necessity because it was high 80s and SUNNY!) and the way I draped the scarf. </p> <p>Suz -- we watched the parade on TV before going to see the floats afterwards, and when I saw the leopard on TV I told DH, "We have to find that float, and you have to take my picture with that leopard for the YLF ladies!" And he said, "Right. Because leopard is a neutral!" ROFL</p> <p>And Rita!! I love your version and have to copy it verra verra soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-and-13-variations-on-a-theme#post-500765 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 16:57:19 +0000 Suz 500765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh. LOVE this, Mary K. I see your point about a belt over, but it works to my eye just like this as well. Gorgeous. </p> <p>And I actually love your parade look, too! CUTE hat! And the float pic...with the leopard...hilarious! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-and-13-variations-on-a-theme#post-500760 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 16:50:18 +0000 Ginny 500760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do color so well, have you thought about maybe a brown topper , kinda bookened the boots??with the scarf and the skinnies, for #1, A version of fab #4? maybe that would feel better to you. I think you look great at the parade. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-and-13-variations-on-a-theme#post-500755 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 16:48:11 +0000 Heather 500755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Queen of the Rose Parade of Life!!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-and-13-variations-on-a-theme#post-500753 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 16:46:58 +0000 rae 500753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the addition of the bag for the parade outfit makes it perfect - the extra netural and texture adds some interest to the middle. Sorry you didn't like it, though. :T</p> <p>Love #2 and that fab turquoise skirt! I don't think you need a belt because the scarf hangs down over the waistline anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-and-13-variations-on-a-theme#post-500745 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 16:41:45 +0000 modgrl 500745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A variation of the second outfit made my top 2011 looks! I love that turquoise skirt, that is sooo your color!! YLFFFF!! That is all I can say. Love both of these looks!. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-and-13-variations-on-a-theme#post-500716 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 16:12:47 +0000 Tina 500716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look like a pretty fab parade watcher to me. I love #3 and 4 both. I would like steal look #3 but I do not own the famous seamed Halogen skirt (not in this colour or any other). Then there's the shoes, the shoes, the shoes....love, love.love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-and-13-variations-on-a-theme#post-500702 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 16:02:40 +0000 Angie 500702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't stop looking at #4 to look at the rest yet, Mary. KILLER look on you Queen Seamed Halogen Skirt. Wow!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-and-13-variations-on-a-theme#post-500677 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 15:39:17 +0000 Di 500677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outfit #2 is really great, esp. with the blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-12-and-13-variations-on-a-theme#post-500670 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 15:26:59 +0000 MsMary 500670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Monday, January 2, we walked up the street to where they park the floats after the Rose Parade and took a look around. I ended up not being all that happy with my outfit but I did enjoy seeing a "neutral" leopard made out of flowers on a float!</p> <p>Aqua skinnies: Levi's<br /> Coral silk tee: Jones New York<br /> Aqua/pink/brown/olive zigzag print scarf: Veronica M<br /> Cognac boots: Aldo<br /> Straw bag and sunnies: Gap<br /> Hat: Boutique in San Diego</p> <p>Yesterday I went back to work and decided to try again with a variation on the theme of that scarf with a turquoise bottom. Plus I wanted to bust out my new white button-front shirt from J. Crew, with which I am super happy because it actually fits without bustal gappage!! I was a lot happier with this look than with the previous day's look. In hindsight I probably should have belted over the blazer. What do you think?</p> <p>Turquoise pencil skirt: Halogen<br /> White shirt: J. Crew<br /> Same scarf<br /> Nude pumps: Shoedazzle<br /> Camel blazer: Ann Taylor (thrifted)</p> <p>Thanks for looking! Happy New Year, everyone! </p>
