It's the first thing that struck me. I can picture it with a simple white shift dress, big hoop earrings, bright bag, and a groovy pair of heels! And don't forget your "That Girl" hairdo. You are the fabbest of the fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-421-angies-column-of-denim-formula-turned-upside-down#post-601622 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 22:41:38 +0000 annagybe 601622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the jacket is great for you. The styling is less than stellar. How about a silky blouse, ie Equipment and white skinnies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-421-angies-column-of-denim-formula-turned-upside-down#post-601612 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 22:26:03 +0000 nicoleb 601612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice find on the blazer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-421-angies-column-of-denim-formula-turned-upside-down#post-601609 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 22:21:18 +0000 Anonymous 601609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the jacket is a great fit to your happy, extroverted persona. I think the issue *if any* is on the buttoning of the blouse and necklace. Since the jacket is so playful and relaxed, I think an unbuttoned blouse sans necklace, is a more congruent choice. But then again, there is beauty in the juxtaposition. </p> <p>I like it though:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-421-angies-column-of-denim-formula-turned-upside-down#post-601604 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 22:01:24 +0000 CocoLion 601604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dating Game or not, I love the jacket! I had some sheets with a print like that in 1970 (said without any irony btw).</p> <p>I like the outfit. What about pairing with skinnies to make it a little less retro? Like white skinnies suggested by AJ. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-421-angies-column-of-denim-formula-turned-upside-down#post-601454 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 18:35:41 +0000 harmonica 601454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary, I absolutely love your style, but this time I'm with AJ and JJsloane. The jacket is really fun and the shoes bookend it very nicely, but I'm sorry to say that the print gives me bed linnen associations (SORRY!). I fully believe your hubs that the outfit is better in RL. And I really envy your bold and bright style and how you do ALGO like noone else! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-421-angies-column-of-denim-formula-turned-upside-down#post-601383 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 17:41:41 +0000 Meredith1953 601383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to add....would the jacket work with either your yellow raisen halogen skirt of a white pencil also? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-421-angies-column-of-denim-formula-turned-upside-down#post-601382 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 17:41:03 +0000 Meredith1953 601382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with AJ that white denim would be totally awesome with that jacket! It really needs to be the focal point. The yellow shoes bookend it beautifully. Like Deborah I wouldn't have looked twice at the jacket on the rack but then I'm sort of chicken and still taking baby steps towards more bold and fashion forward looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-421-angies-column-of-denim-formula-turned-upside-down#post-601358 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 17:20:12 +0000 MsMary 601358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, AJ! You say "Laugh-In" or "The Dating Game" like it's a BAD thing! ;)</p> <p>I do think maybe the necklace might be a little much. Should have gone with a groovy pendant instead, I think! </p> <p>Hubby says it looked better in person than in the photos, and I kind of agree. I love this jacket and you will definitely be seeing it again, and I will absolutely try it over white or light next time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-421-angies-column-of-denim-formula-turned-upside-down#post-601336 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 16:53:52 +0000 ironkurtin 601336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so confident and elegant, MK! I'd personally like the jacket more over a lighter base color, I think the denim top makes it pop too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-421-angies-column-of-denim-formula-turned-upside-down#post-601260 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 14:33:49 +0000 Scarlet 601260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, I am actually kind of having trouble with the jacket, but maybe I am just not fully embracing the floral trend. Since it is so bright I would be interested to see it with more of a light/white based outfit rather than dark blue. Oh, I see AJ said something along these lines too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-421-angies-column-of-denim-formula-turned-upside-down#post-601241 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 14:10:02 +0000 nancylee 601241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice, MaryK. Cute jacket, and your legs look long and lean in those jeans. This is a look I might have to steal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-421-angies-column-of-denim-formula-turned-upside-down#post-601237 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 13:54:43 +0000 Janet 601237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I think AJ is onto something. I think this would look great with white denim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-421-angies-column-of-denim-formula-turned-upside-down#post-601124 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 05:59:06 +0000 AJ 601124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Luv your adventurous spirit as always, MaryK. However, the print of this jacket makes me think of "Laugh-In" or the set of "The Dating Game."</p> <p>I'm wondering how it would look with a column of white instead? I do like the yellow shoes to bookend the jacket. You probably have a pair of shoes to match any color in the jacket. THAT is FAB!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-421-angies-column-of-denim-formula-turned-upside-down#post-601029 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 02:02:43 +0000 Suz 601029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You slay me with your fabulosity every time!

Maybe the necklace is throwing me off too? You know I love you, I just think this jacket with one of your usual professional color bomb outfits would thrill me more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-421-angies-column-of-denim-formula-turned-upside-down#post-600947 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 23:07:24 +0000 modgrl 600947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab!!

This looks great. And you have made that jacket work. I wouldn't have looked twice at that jacket, but you have really worked it. The denim makes it look very current and of the moment. I can see you working quite a few combinations with this jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-421-angies-column-of-denim-formula-turned-upside-down#post-600935 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 22:48:12 +0000 rae 600935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, you and Shannon are *killing* it with the fab thrift finds!

I have to be honest and say I'd probably leave off the necklace though. Somehow it seems unnecessary with those fabulous pieces.
