Yes, the Marine is very sweet about my outfits and was very patient with the outfit photos and a bit of outfit dithering during our trip!</p> <p>And yesterday I had my annual performance appraisal, which went spectacularly well (the new job assignment is a really good fit), and my superior started out by saying "Wow, you look really nice today!" LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-227-and-228-back-in-sunny-so-cal#post-553470 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 15:33:33 +0000 Angie 553470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary! Does your fab Marine comment on your beautiful outfits? I bet he does :)</p> <p>You are like a gorgeous wild bird who sings her tune with her head held high, smiling at the world, spreading charm and merriment :)</p> <p>Love the hose and new jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-227-and-228-back-in-sunny-so-cal#post-553432 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 14:26:11 +0000 Ana 553432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both of these outfits are gorgeous! I needed a little color boost today and I knew I'd get it with your WIW posts! The first blouse stunning, I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-227-and-228-back-in-sunny-so-cal#post-553428 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 14:24:13 +0000 Transcona Shannon 553428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pink skirt outfit is DELICIOUS!!! I think this might be my next purchase - a bright colored pencil skirt. You are inspiring, as always MaryK! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-227-and-228-back-in-sunny-so-cal#post-553422 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 14:21:29 +0000 teri 553422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love, love, love the polka dot hose!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-227-and-228-back-in-sunny-so-cal#post-553420 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 14:19:38 +0000 Lisa 553420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is such a fun and happy top in #1 and of course I adore the butterfly print. I'm not sure why you think outfit #2 is a miss, I like this. Pink and grey are lovely together. And I also like the leg lengthening you have here with the grey hose and pumps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-227-and-228-back-in-sunny-so-cal#post-553369 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 11:01:35 +0000 Mander 553369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great jacket! And a leather jacket and scarf with flip-flops would go down well in Colorado too, I think. At least, when I was younger, the uniform for men especially seemed to be cargo shorts and sandals, regardless of how cold it was, whether you needed a coat, or how much snow was on the ground. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-227-and-228-back-in-sunny-so-cal#post-553342 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 08:38:43 +0000 Aunty 553342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic as always. The skirt outfit is stunning, I don't know why but it makes you look taller??? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-227-and-228-back-in-sunny-so-cal#post-553324 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 06:50:51 +0000 AJ 553324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back, MK! I see your NY respite hasn't turned you into a neutral gal! : P</p> <p>No misses that I can see! Great pedicure! Luv the grey and pink office bomshell combo! Nicely styled! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-227-and-228-back-in-sunny-so-cal#post-553302 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 05:23:42 +0000 christieanne 553302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That work look can't possibly be considered a "miss", Love the pop of pink ad the blouse. </p> <p>Seems like the lighter wash jeans are always my last to come off the stack as well but i like them with your print top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-227-and-228-back-in-sunny-so-cal#post-553289 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 04:58:32 +0000 Beth Ann 553289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you had such a magnificent trip! You look casual and fab in #1, and tangerine is such a great California color! I'm particularly fond of the hosiery in #2 and the open V in the pussy bow collar -- this makes the tie more modern to my eye. And why am I the only YLFer who looks hideous in the Halogen pencil skirt? At least I can enjoy it vicariously through you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-227-and-228-back-in-sunny-so-cal#post-553280 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 04:48:43 +0000 goldenpig 553280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love how you bookended the orange scarf with your orange toes! Both outfits look great! Love the pink skirt and polka dot tights. I don't notice any puffiness. Even your "misses" are hits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-227-and-228-back-in-sunny-so-cal#post-553273 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 04:41:38 +0000 Anonymous 553273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Squeeeee! I love the tangerine toe nail polish! Is that *the* color for 2012? Inquiring minds want, no NEED to know. Getting ready for vay-cay next month and all.<br /> Ahem, back to your outfits! Love the bright shirt and scarf with the faded jeans, you're right VERY SoCal. Fun! I'm crushing on that jacket you thrifted in NY. Super with the hot pink skirt and dotty tights. *sigh* Welcome home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-227-and-228-back-in-sunny-so-cal#post-553251 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 04:10:06 +0000 san 553251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So good to see you back in So Cal. That's where you belong. I'm a long time So Cal misser. I grew up in San Diego and I miss it so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-227-and-228-back-in-sunny-so-cal#post-553243 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 04:00:35 +0000 modgrl 553243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back MaryK! I really like the pink skirt outfit and the jacket is great. It seems a bit big maybe compared to your usual bombshell looks. Perhaps throw a belt on top to define your waist? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-227-and-228-back-in-sunny-so-cal#post-553223 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 03:38:12 +0000 taylor 553223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are FAB! I love pink skirts...they are just super versatile and seem to go with everything! Welcome home:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-227-and-228-back-in-sunny-so-cal#post-553214 Wed, 29 Feb 2012 03:33:37 +0000 MsMary 553214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesterday, Monday, was my first full day home after the fab trip to NYC with my son, and I spent most of the day laying around the house. I did finally bestir myself to go to the gym (which outfit I will spare you) and then for a mani-pedi with a friend. Note the 2012 Tangerine toenails and ignore the lack of makeup! And I promise I wore the flip-flops only to and from the nail salon! The leather jacket, scarf, and flip-flops combo felt very So Cal-ish after a bundled up week in the frozen northeast! And these were the only jeans that weren't in the laundry!</p> <p>Today was my first day back at work and I broke out one of the jackets I bought at an Upper East side consignment store, along with my old faithful Halogen pussy bow blouse and pencil skirt. I fell in love with warm and cozy tights while I was away so I wore a pair to match my Madden Girl gray pumps. I felt like this outfit was kind of a miss, perhaps because I look a little puffy and worn out from too much vacation!</p> <p>Thanks for looking, and I always appreciate your comments! </p>
