I love the bold pop of colour with the sweater vest and that necklace is amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-413-matchy-matchy-blue-and-brown#post-596127 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 17:10:12 +0000 MsMary 596127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies! I totally got the idea for the vest-over-button down from TX Sarah, who rocks it like nobody's business! Well, she reminded me of it anyway, because I wore this look all. the. time. in high school in the 70s! LOL</p> <p>Zap, the pants are the AT Modern Fit Trousers. I get the petites and have the hems taken DOWN to get PPL.</p> <p>And Denise, I like it better without the blazer, too, but I feel like it's necessary to make it work appropriate. Then I take it off and hang it on a hanger on the coat rack in the corner of my office where everybody can see it! LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-413-matchy-matchy-blue-and-brown#post-596118 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 16:49:42 +0000 Amy 596118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Sarah. I need to figure out how to make the vest+button down look work for me too. This is a beautiful outfit, MaryK! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-413-matchy-matchy-blue-and-brown#post-596111 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 16:33:14 +0000 Sara L. 596111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love matchy-matchy.

You look great in this- it just shows you can do pants outfits just as well as your signature pencil skirts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-413-matchy-matchy-blue-and-brown#post-596106 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 16:28:23 +0000 Sveta 596106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I don't see anything matchy-matchy here, MaryK.

Your hubby should be a shoe buyer, so awesome of him to do this!<br /> Mary, may I ask, which AT pants do you buy? What's the style name? I want to switch from my trusty Editors - There is nothing wrong with them, I have worn them steady for a couple years now and I get bored - to more menswear inspired pants, so I'm on the lookout! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-413-matchy-matchy-blue-and-brown#post-595974 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 13:25:43 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 595974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It doesn't look too matchy to me at all. Another great outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-413-matchy-matchy-blue-and-brown#post-595959 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 12:37:12 +0000 Emily 595959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicely coordinated for sure.

I need to figure out how to make that happen in my life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-413-matchy-matchy-blue-and-brown#post-595911 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 07:33:04 +0000 ManidipaM 595911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That necklace just *makes* the outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-413-matchy-matchy-blue-and-brown#post-595910 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 07:31:47 +0000 CocoLion 595910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RU kidding? I love matchy. In fact any thread with the word matchy in it makes me want to open it immediately. The pants, shoes and blouse are great together and you make them trendelicious by adding the blue sweater vest and statement necklace. I think I like this outfit best in the first and third pictures. In other words, without the blazer. I think the outfit with the sweater vest and the trench is modern, or maybe it's retro, I can't tell. It reminds me of the 70s and Ines de la F. at the same time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-413-matchy-matchy-blue-and-brown#post-595906 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 07:16:25 +0000 Deborah 595906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a matchy matchy girl at heart so for me this is beautifully co-ordinated. Very stylish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-413-matchy-matchy-blue-and-brown#post-595883 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 06:26:07 +0000 rae 595883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wowee statement necklace! Love it - doesn't come across as matchy to my eye, since the print of the top is small scale. I am happy to see I am not the only one who still wears sweater vests. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-413-matchy-matchy-blue-and-brown#post-595844 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 05:19:32 +0000 Anonymous 595844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the blue and shades of brown together. The statement necklace is perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-413-matchy-matchy-blue-and-brown#post-595841 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 05:16:57 +0000 Anonymous 595841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a good match! The woman cave is the perfect backdrop for this as well. Look how the color of that vest and your statement necklace make your eyes sparkle. You look fab Mary Lou! And I need to go thrifting/consigning with you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-413-matchy-matchy-blue-and-brown#post-595835 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 05:08:10 +0000 christieanne 595835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicely coordinated in your usual fab way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-413-matchy-matchy-blue-and-brown#post-595825 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 04:46:49 +0000 MsMary 595825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I couldn't believe how perfectly this top and these shoes matched one another! I know the matchy matchy isn't everybody's cup of tea, but I liked it!</p> <p>Tan pants: Ann Taylor<br /> Off white blouse with blue and tan print; thrifted<br /> Blue sweater vest; Talbots via consignment<br /> Brown blazer: Ann Taylor via consignment<br /> Off white/blue/bronze pumps: Seychelles<br /> Brown tote: Franco Lucca<br /> Brown trench: Gallery<br /> Statement necklace: Veronica m (local boutique)</p> <p>What do you think? Too matchy or nicely coordinated? </p>
