Strange though, I agree! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-45-and-47-my-custo-barcelona-homage-and-date-day#post-591295 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 03:37:38 +0000 MsMary 591295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Claire! High praise coming from stylish you!!</p> <p>Yes, the skirt is regular size 2, not petite. And as I posted elsewhere, they seem to be making them smaller these days -- I bought the "blue spectrum" in my usual 0P and it was a full half inch narrower at the waist when laid flat against the older ones, so I had to send it back for the 2P, which is the same size as the 0P's in the other colors. Crazy. But the good news is the regular size 2 fits me now, whereas when I tried the regular sizes in other colors even the regular size 0 was too big. And this fab green doesn't come in petite sizes, so it worked out.</p> <p>As I said, crazy... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-45-and-47-my-custo-barcelona-homage-and-date-day#post-591294 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 03:35:53 +0000 goldenpig 591294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW. I was hoping you would do a Custo inspired outfit, because that style is right up your alley! You are the master--sophisticated, colorful, and I love the rich textures. I never get tired of your Kate Spade jacket! And that emerald skirt is perfect on you--I love the midi length on you!</p> <p>And hot date outfit is spectacular! Love the lace and cropped pants. Lucky hubby, and lucky you to have a husband who buys you all kinds of cool shoes! Hope you had a great time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-45-and-47-my-custo-barcelona-homage-and-date-day#post-591289 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 03:22:25 +0000 Anonymous 591289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed the thread on this skirt, but it looks longer. Did you order a different size than usual? Love the outfit, very true to the inspiration. That dotty scarf is delicious! The second outfit is very subtle and sophisticated. I love the lace top and all of your accessories. Those high heels are the perfect way to rock those cropped pants. Very, very fab, MK! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-45-and-47-my-custo-barcelona-homage-and-date-day#post-591191 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 00:53:43 +0000 Transcona Shannon 591191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You keep wearing those Doc Saras in these gorgeous outfits MaryK - it keeps giving me inspiration! I love outfit #1 - I'm drooling over that emerald skirt. And your date outfit is DIVINE!

I think t he longer length is a nice variation! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-45-and-47-my-custo-barcelona-homage-and-date-day#post-591010 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 19:23:29 +0000 modgrl 591010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my! You look just glorious in both of these. What did your hubby say about your date night outfit?! I'm sure he is loving your style evolution these days. Are you going to tailor your green skirt or keep it as is? I'm thinking about ordering a size up and having it taken in so that it sits higher on my waist and will come to my knee cap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-45-and-47-my-custo-barcelona-homage-and-date-day#post-590985 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 18:15:12 +0000 Suz 590985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, may I please borrow your husband? I mean, seriously. This guy buys you the best shoes!!! AND takes you to absurdist theatre. e more could a woman ask for? </p> <p>Actually, my hubby is pretty sweet, too, but you know what I am saying. </p> <p>You look FAB!

Very alluringly chic. And GFY for supporting theater and the arts. Next time I come to LA maybe we can grab some cultchah together.</p> <p>The navy and green combination is flattering and vibrant. This is my 16th month on YLF and even though I don't need one, I feel like I must have a Halogen pencil skirt for myself. They look so good on so many different ladies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-45-and-47-my-custo-barcelona-homage-and-date-day#post-590707 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 05:11:15 +0000 Ana 590707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, MaryK! : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-45-and-47-my-custo-barcelona-homage-and-date-day#post-590705 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 05:10:00 +0000 MsMary 590705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much, ladies!</p> <p>Kari, you NEED that skirt!!</p> <p>Ana, the pants are the Minnies in black wool.

You look amazing, MaryK! I love your first outfit, and your second "date night" look blows me away! Do you mind if I ask if you got those black pants from J. Crew recently? Are they the Minnies or the pixie pants? I've been looking for a pair like that for a while, but I haven't had much luck. Those look stunning on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-45-and-47-my-custo-barcelona-homage-and-date-day#post-590698 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 05:03:56 +0000 fashionista 590698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No comments MaryK, gorgeous as always and not a hair out of place and I mean it.

LOVE how you paired it with the dotty scarf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-45-and-47-my-custo-barcelona-homage-and-date-day#post-590689 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 04:34:41 +0000 MsMary 590689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. Thursday I broke out my new skirt and decided to take a stab at <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2012/03/28/inspired-by-custo-barcelona/">Angie's Custo Barcelona formula from a couple of weeks ago</a>. I think this looked better in person than it photographed, because the scarf and skirt were closer in color IRL -- I think the camera is seeing the difference in texure as a color difference, if that makes sense!</p> <p>Emerald skirt: Halogen<br /> Black tee: American Apparel<br /> Green scarf with white dots: Halogen<br /> Black and white platform oxfords: Doc Marten<br /> Black and white jacket: Kate Spade<br /> Black microfishnets: Oroblu<br /> White tote: eBay<br /> Giant pearl earrings: Drugstore.com</p> <p>2. Today hubby and I went to the theatre to see "Waiting for Godot" (class and culture and HUGELY entertaining!), and also to lunch before and dinner after! Big fun! He bought me these shoes and I love them to distraction! And they look great with the <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2012/03/28/inspired-by-custo-barcelona/">dotted bag from the YLF store</a>!</p> <p>Blush tee:: Veronica M (didn't look this pink in person -- I think this is an artifact of the flash!)<br /> Black open-weave dolman sleeve knit top: F21<br /> Black tapered pants: J Crew<br /> Black/nude stiletto pumps: Boutique 9<br /> Polka-dotcrossbody bag: Aldo (it's on sale right now at Zappo's for $35.99!)<br /> Multistrand necklace: consignment store</p> <p>Thanks for looking! I love your comments! </p>
