The red accessories are a wonderful punch of additional color. I love how you play with color and print. You look wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-17-not-quite-a-suit#post-811071 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 20:42:54 +0000 RunnerChick 811071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I try something like this, I look like I got dressed in the dark but you make it look deliberate, professional, fashionable, fun, and FAB - what's your secret? It's a genuine question, actually - is there some secret science to tonal outfits, like some "rule" about how close/ far apart the tones need to be? I'm also loving the turquoise-red combo - Amy did something like this in reverse last week, I think, when she paired her red jacket with a turquoise necklace. And, yes, you gotta love men like Mr.K! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-17-not-quite-a-suit#post-811060 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 20:36:03 +0000 Teri 811060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not quite matching....a skill I hope to acquire! You do it wonderfully and you look FAB! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-17-not-quite-a-suit#post-810873 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 17:17:17 +0000 JuneBug 810873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the teal and turquoise! It's a daring not-quite-match that you've pulled off perfecty. The red accents really bring the outfit together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-17-not-quite-a-suit#post-810825 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 16:36:36 +0000 rae 810825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Better than a suit! Love the tonal turquoise! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-17-not-quite-a-suit#post-810821 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 16:36:05 +0000 Ginkgo 810821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is one of my favorites! Love the turquoise/teal with black and white, and the red accents -- very sophisticated color palette! </p> <p>I have a turquoise cotton jacket for summer, must try this with red. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-17-not-quite-a-suit#post-810818 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 16:35:26 +0000 deb 810818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The tonal look is great and I like the pop of red. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-17-not-quite-a-suit#post-810802 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 16:18:25 +0000 Angie 810802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look Suit-Tastic! I like to "almost match" too. </p> <p>LOVING the red bangle with the blues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-17-not-quite-a-suit#post-810798 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 16:16:46 +0000 kimlee 810798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am really digging the not quite matching look. It has the polished and professional look without being too stuffy or formal. The graphic black and white blouse adds an extra punch to the look - and not something I would have thought to pair with teal. Two thumbs up from me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-17-not-quite-a-suit#post-810792 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 16:13:39 +0000 Amy 810792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, love the turquoise and red combo, Mary. This is fab. The not quite matching works for me I wish I had pounced on that Amber Sun jacket. You and Shannon are excellent models! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-17-not-quite-a-suit#post-810786 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 16:10:08 +0000 Tina.b 810786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Turquoise and red is such a gorgeous colour combo. I too am one who loves things to not quite match. The dissonance really increases the impact of the outfit. And the fit here is just great on you, wonderful outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-17-not-quite-a-suit#post-810783 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 16:07:10 +0000 Transcona Shannon 810783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep - nothing better than an enabling man - lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-17-not-quite-a-suit#post-810782 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 16:04:12 +0000 MsMary 810782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! I have Mr. K to thank for keeping both of them -- I was trying them both on and dithering about how had it was to choose, and he said, "You don't have to choose!" </p> <p>Gotta love that man! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-17-not-quite-a-suit#post-810781 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 16:03:01 +0000 Transcona Shannon 810781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my - indeed I DO love the not quite matching skirt and jacket together! I also like the black/white graphic blouse underneath and how the reptile clutch pattern mixes with the top. Add in some red pumps and accessories and voila - fabulous outfit!</p> <p>I do wish I had gotten the teal Amber Sun jacket too - don't you love them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-17-not-quite-a-suit#post-810775 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 15:55:11 +0000 MsMary 810775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had planned to wear this skirt and jacket with different top, but when I hung it up next to the black and white blouse they all begged to go to the office together, and who was I to say no? And I am super happy because I got my "Princess Diana/Kate Middleton" ring repaired over the weekend and it is back in action.</p> <p>Turquoise pencil skirt: Halogen<br /> Teal trapeze jacket: Amber Sun<br /> Black and white silk blouse: consignment<br /> Red pumps: Madden Girl<br /> "Reptile" clutch: Veronica M (local boutique)<br /> Ring: HSN<br /> Red bangle: YLF swap<br /> Black belt: from a dress long departed<br /> Nude microfishnets: Oroblu</p> <p>I really dig the not-quite-matching, not-quite-a-suit look of the skirt and jacket. What do you all think? </p>
