Hmmm...that color doesn't look as crisp as yours. I ve not tried the new style. Did you size up from the original pencil skirt sizing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-426-pinterest-copycat-with-the-color-of-the-year#post-919300 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 08:41:40 +0000 goldenpig 919300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ All Hail Queen Better than the Inspiration! Amazing copy and you totally one-upped the Pinterest girl. Love the grey leopard with emerald green and that you managed to include three different animal prints into the mix without looking OTT. Stylish officewear!

Emerald isn't so good next to my face but has looked so fresh and crisp on several YLFers this week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-426-pinterest-copycat-with-the-color-of-the-year#post-919267 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 04:35:56 +0000 Suz 919267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OOoh! I love the jacket and blouse together!! The texture of the jacket works in such an interesting way with the pattern. And of course you look astonishing in that emerald green!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-426-pinterest-copycat-with-the-color-of-the-year#post-919252 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 04:21:53 +0000 MsMary 919252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Joy, the skirt was available briefly last year.&nbsp; I generally wear this skirt in a petite, but this color was never offered in petite and I bought it in the regular size because I was just that besotted by the color!&nbsp; It's a little longer than the petites, but I think it's an okay variation and a super acceptable trade-off to get the fab green!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-426-pinterest-copycat-with-the-color-of-the-year#post-919249 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 04:19:32 +0000 Anonymous 919249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

I use it too, when I'm short on ideas. Gotta' say I love your take on the inspiration better than the original. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-426-pinterest-copycat-with-the-color-of-the-year#post-919240 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 04:09:12 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 919240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So, so fab! Yes, you do look better than the inspiration photo. I can't believe you even had the brooch. The skirt-blouse-jacket is just gorgeous, and the accessories really make the outfit come alive on you. The burgundy clutch is my favorite addition--scrumptious with the emerald.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-426-pinterest-copycat-with-the-color-of-the-year#post-919232 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 03:41:48 +0000 Caro in Oz 919232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love it with &amp; without the jacket - ylf. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-426-pinterest-copycat-with-the-color-of-the-year#post-919192 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 02:34:52 +0000 Sveta 919192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your interpretation is far better than the source. I especially like it without the jacket - so elegant. Dark grey and bright emerald is a delightful combo. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-426-pinterest-copycat-with-the-color-of-the-year#post-919183 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 02:27:40 +0000 sarah 919183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is a super fab interpretation, Mary - better than the original, if you ask me.

I'd have wrinkled my nose at combining emerald green and red if anyone asked me earlier, but I've completely changed my mind now that I've seen your outfit. Green and red is a great combination in the hands of an expert! ;)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-426-pinterest-copycat-with-the-color-of-the-year#post-919169 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 02:08:29 +0000 Transcona Shannon 919169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love emerald green with any kind of animal print - a fabulous copycat and even better than the original.
