You belted the trousers, wore the right heels, performed magic, not sure what, but you look fantastic! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-319-checks-and-flowers-on-a-gray-day#post-882609 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 01:41:19 +0000 Isabel 882609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I remember that shirt. I always loved it. It is so freakin' versatile ! &nbsp;The outfit is great...I especially love how you pulled out the red by adding the red purse and shoes. &nbsp;It was a cold, sleet-filled day here. Very gray too.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-319-checks-and-flowers-on-a-gray-day#post-882586 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 01:26:55 +0000 Carla 882586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You do no wrong, MaryK! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-319-checks-and-flowers-on-a-gray-day#post-882512 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 00:20:13 +0000 Transcona Shannon 882512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love the shades of grey in this outfit and the fit of those trousers is wonderful on you. And I really like how the red handbag pulls out the red in the blouse - very nice. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-319-checks-and-flowers-on-a-gray-day#post-882479 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 23:58:23 +0000 MsMary 882479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, ladies!<br /><br />A, my salon actually has a buy 5, get one free deal! &nbsp;You buy a card for five services and they stamp it each time, then the sixth one is free. Gotta love it! &nbsp;I haven't been able to bring myself to spend four figures up front for five Brazilian blowouts, though! ;)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-319-checks-and-flowers-on-a-gray-day#post-882466 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 23:51:01 +0000 Day Vies 882466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I just love how the bag makes such a happy statement. I love the print on the blouse and the double-breasted jacket. Are those skinny jeans or slim trousers. Either way I love the look.&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-319-checks-and-flowers-on-a-gray-day#post-882460 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 23:46:46 +0000 Jjsloane 882460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great combination of color, pattern, texture, but naturally from the master.

I never skimp on a good haircut and put&nbsp;the time and effort into styling it. Fab clothes do not go with clumsy hair. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-319-checks-and-flowers-on-a-gray-day#post-882316 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 20:59:29 +0000 Lyn D. 882316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love the pops of red here MaryK.<br />YLF! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-319-checks-and-flowers-on-a-gray-day#post-882307 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 20:55:51 +0000 MsMary 882307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ High five!!<br /><br />Between the straightening and the cuts and the every-three-weeks color touchups, my colorist (who owns the salon) recently told me I was in the top five clients of the whole salon.&nbsp; I didn't know whether to be honored or horrified!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-319-checks-and-flowers-on-a-gray-day#post-882305 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 20:54:39 +0000 Tina.b 882305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love how you've paired the subtle pattern on the pieces with the most presence and then added the accent with the patterned blouse red shoes and bag! The shoes especially are such a great colour. Red isn't my fav colour to wear(doesn't work well with my complexion), but I especailly love my red shoes ! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-319-checks-and-flowers-on-a-gray-day#post-882269 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 20:19:45 +0000 Angie 882269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Exactly, Mary. My hair costs a small fortune every 6 weeks too. I'm not going to be penny wise and pound foolish on this, though. My hair is&nbsp;*so* much part of my style. It's my #1 accessory even before my specs. High five!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-319-checks-and-flowers-on-a-gray-day#post-882263 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 20:14:47 +0000 MsMary 882263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks for the boosts, ladies!<br /><br />Yes, Angie, I have my hair professionally straightened.&nbsp; It costs a fortune and it lasts about three months.&nbsp; Totally worth it because it cuts my getting-ready time in the morning to almost nothing!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-319-checks-and-flowers-on-a-gray-day#post-882261 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 20:12:23 +0000 Kalli 882261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ *runs* away with the D&amp;B purse<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-319-checks-and-flowers-on-a-gray-day#post-882259 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 20:10:54 +0000 Debora 882259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Lol, chuckling at Una!

Wonderful outfit, MaryK, I love the 3 different greys combined with your red accessories and then the lovely floral print on your blouse. Also loving the idea of the pattern mixing with the microcheck, subtle and fun. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-319-checks-and-flowers-on-a-gray-day#post-882200 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 19:28:19 +0000 Anonymous 882200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Definitely a thumbs up from me.
