Outfit #3 is great!<br /> Edit: I had to laugh at your Church Lady expression!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-415-and-416-st-john-gets-a-workout#post-598119 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 21:37:36 +0000 MsMary 598119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, Jonesy!

Seriously, I love you in the springy pastels, and I think your third look is awesome, Quintessential MaryK Goodness (TM). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-415-and-416-st-john-gets-a-workout#post-598096 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 21:17:59 +0000 Aida 598096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh I LOVE these soft color palettes Mary, SO YUMMY! You look lovely in all outfits. Loving the mixing going on in #3, the tonal soft colors make it look a lot less ALGO than it would be in brighter shades. Man I need to get a leopard belt!</p> <p>(*giggle + coffee snort at Una*) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-415-and-416-st-john-gets-a-workout#post-597984 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 19:16:01 +0000 Heather 597984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, isn't that speeeeeeeshullllll! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-415-and-416-st-john-gets-a-workout#post-597982 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 19:14:20 +0000 MsMary 597982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, isn't it funny? Sometimes I have to spend a full hour to get an outfit in which I'm willing to leave the house, and sometimes the fashion gods (or demons, Una!) are just with me and it just happens in a flash!</p> <p>Suz, I resisted getting these shoes in this color scheme, but Hubby insisted they would be very versatile, and boy was he ever right!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-415-and-416-st-john-gets-a-workout#post-597976 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 19:05:34 +0000 Meredith1953 597976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look absolutely lovely in all three! I love how you switched up from outfit #1 being so ladylike and demure to the more laidback feel in #2. #3 is classic pattern mixing from you. I love you in pastels as much as I love you in color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-415-and-416-st-john-gets-a-workout#post-597941 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 17:57:55 +0000 Sarah A 597941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You just threw together #3?! Now I am in even more awe... WOW! Love it... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-415-and-416-st-john-gets-a-workout#post-597935 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 17:52:58 +0000 Suz 597935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto what Krish said. It was a delight to see you in the pastels for a change; you wear those just as well as your signature brights and your new love, neutrals. </p> <p>LOVE #3, but of course anything with those SHOES is bound to be a hit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-415-and-416-st-john-gets-a-workout#post-597866 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 16:25:41 +0000 catgirl 597866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Who helped you put together these devilishly amazing outfits? SATAN, MAYBE? </p> <p>The church lady outfit is lovely, but my heart is with the last outfit - so perfectly coordinated it could be the subject of a college course. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-415-and-416-st-john-gets-a-workout#post-597865 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 16:23:55 +0000 MsMary 597865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much, ladies!</p> <p>#3 was thrown together out of desperation on Monday morning and I was tickled pink with how it came together! I am so. in. love. with the striped jacket and those gifted-by-Hubby shoes!! And I think it's so interesting that the pinkish-nude-and-black polka dot bag plays so nicely with the brownish-nude-and-navy striped jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-415-and-416-st-john-gets-a-workout#post-597843 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 16:07:27 +0000 Anonymous 597843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You continue to amaze, MaryK!

I am amazed by people who can do both like this. #3 is TDF, and I'm drooling over the striped jacket with the shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-415-and-416-st-john-gets-a-workout#post-597807 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:21:27 +0000 Anonymous 597807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 and 3 are my favorites! You are a treat for the eyes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-415-and-416-st-john-gets-a-workout#post-597781 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 14:51:10 +0000 Carole 597781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, all stunning outfits, but 3 is over the top. That bag is perfection ith the outfit! Love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-415-and-416-st-john-gets-a-workout#post-597758 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 14:24:54 +0000 Ana 597758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That jacket is amazing! I love how you can go full Church Lady and look just as chic and comfortable as you do full color, bold bright MaryK! I love your style. All three outfits are beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-415-and-416-st-john-gets-a-workout#post-597751 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 14:12:25 +0000 Anonymous 597751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you wake up and those St. John pieces are missing you'll know who has raided your closet! Hey, I just got that: St. John goes to church, lol! Love these fabulous understated looks on you Mary Lou. You can do it all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-415-and-416-st-john-gets-a-workout#post-597723 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:07:02 +0000 Transcona Shannon 597723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Church lady" does not equal boring in MaryK's world, that's for sure! This is a lovely outfit. I can't believe you got these gorgeous pieces through consignment. </p> <p>And the outfit in pic #3 is STELLAR! I love the pattern mixing of the striped blazer with the polka dot bag (don't you just love that little bag?) and those shoes are so dreamy. </p> <p>Like Dianthus, I'm seeing more neutrals on you lately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-415-and-416-st-john-gets-a-workout#post-597718 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 12:14:06 +0000 modgrl 597718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They should pay you to wear their clothes. You should send these pictures to St John. How do you manage to make church lady clothes look hot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-415-and-416-st-john-gets-a-workout#post-597705 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 11:36:18 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 597705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them all but that isn't surprising. Mary are you converting to neutrals and softer colors? I think I've seen a bit of a trend away from the color blocking and brights. I really love the brights on you but the softer colors are gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-415-and-416-st-john-gets-a-workout#post-597701 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 11:30:12 +0000 harmonica 597701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look awesome as always! Love the springly and fresh feel of #1 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-415-and-416-st-john-gets-a-workout#post-597692 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 10:25:19 +0000 krishnidoux 597692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with everyone. outfit #3 is sublime. </p> <p>But I also really like your church outfit, as it is completely cute and appropriate. Even the jacket is modestly buttoned up. Yet you are not contrived. The baby blue and layering is very Spring and young. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-415-and-416-st-john-gets-a-workout#post-597687 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 09:53:16 +0000 Jjsloane 597687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your church lady is classy and elegant, but I'm blown away by #3. ALGO, but you make it work. Gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-415-and-416-st-john-gets-a-workout#post-597684 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 08:45:40 +0000 jayne 597684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved #1, it was so soft and spring and delicate! And then you rocked it in 2! What a great switch.</p> <p>I think 3 is perfect, I must be getting blind to ALGO! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-415-and-416-st-john-gets-a-workout#post-597640 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 04:42:14 +0000 Beth Ann 597640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This must be the SoCal version of the church lady! Very sleek and chic, and why not! I've always love the pairing of blue with natural, and you do this beautifully.</p> <p>#3 is my favorite of the lot, which is surprising, because I think of myself as a color girl. Expert pattern mixing and proportion. Yummy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-415-and-416-st-john-gets-a-workout#post-597624 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 03:41:50 +0000 AJ 597624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dana Carvey had nothing on you!! : P</p> <p>Luv all three outfits! Luv the mint silk tee with that first jacket! I envy your magic stores! YLF X 3!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-415-and-416-st-john-gets-a-workout#post-597614 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 03:17:14 +0000 sinead 597614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is one stylish church lady look- but- Wow!! Today's outfit is so killer, I am in awe! Seriously, I have been looking at your outfits for some time for style inspiration- and this is another gorgeous one. LOVE those shoes... Love the jacket, the purse, the skirt. Okay- I'm gushing now. I'll stop, but really, I'm taking notes here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-415-and-416-st-john-gets-a-workout#post-597609 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 03:05:56 +0000 MsMary 597609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sunday I paid a visit to a new church in town (new to me, not new in town!) and decided to go Full Church Lady! St. John Knit skirt and sweater jacket, Eileen Fisher silk tee, all from the consignment store. Gray "croc" tote from Talbots via eBay, Madden Girl nude-to-me patent pumps. I felt very appropriate! LOL</p> <p>Later in the afternoon I had some running around to do so I swapped out the skirt and pumps for my black DKNY skinnies and Life Stride ballet almost-flats.</p> <p>Today I wore the same St. John Knit skirt with an Old Navy ruffled tank, AT Loft striped jacket, Talbots animal print belt, Aldo polka-dot bag, and my new Seychelles off-white pumps with navy and gold trim. There was a lot going on here but I really liked it! </p> <p>What do you all think? </p>
