Great color combo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-47-olive-black-and-navy#post-1216679 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 23:45:06 +0000 catgirl 1216679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like something is off here... It may be the proportions of the jacket in length or width. Or it could be me. I am just not feeling the groove though. I want to feel the groove! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-47-olive-black-and-navy#post-1216677 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 23:43:22 +0000 Aida 1216677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the skirt option with the blazer done up. I like the pants but the non-chunky shoe gal in me wants something a bit more refined with the pants. Your ankles look super tiny this way to me (is a good thing maybe I dunno?). I do love the light belt mimicking the skin sliver ^^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-47-olive-black-and-navy#post-1216676 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 23:42:56 +0000 Caro in Oz 1216676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it with the pants.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-47-olive-black-and-navy#post-1216673 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 23:39:04 +0000 rabbit 1216673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh yes, I like it with your pants best. &nbsp;The saddle shoes, on both you and the model are a great example of dorky cute/cool in my book. &nbsp;Very hip to be square.&nbsp;&nbsp;:D &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-47-olive-black-and-navy#post-1216667 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 23:32:55 +0000 MsMary 1216667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, changed the bottoms and added a photo above.&nbsp; Better? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-47-olive-black-and-navy#post-1216417 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 17:25:38 +0000 MsMary 1216417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Phatgranny!&nbsp; What a lovely comment!&nbsp; Seriously, you made me laugh and made my day, all at the same time!&nbsp; :)</p> <p>I really wish I had a navy pencil skirt so I could wear the blazer open, because that would be much better, but one works with what one has.&nbsp; And I hope you will all forgive me for not showing a sliver of belly at the office!&nbsp; LOL </p> <p>ETA:&nbsp; I just realized that I totally blew it -- should have used my navy ankle pants instead of the a-line skirt!&nbsp; Curses!!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-47-olive-black-and-navy#post-1216411 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 17:23:00 +0000 Inge 1216411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always think of you as MaryK with the "magical closet", because you always seem to have just the right piece to re-create an outfit from inspiration photos. And I love it:-)</p> <p>I agree that the proportions are a little off with the blazer open, but buttoned-up it's great. The white accents make it work to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-47-olive-black-and-navy#post-1216398 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 17:16:27 +0000 Thistle 1216398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun!&nbsp; And, you are not in a pencil skirt!!!&nbsp; :)</p> <p>Seriously, though, a fab interpretation that makes it work appropriate. You really are Queen Copycat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-47-olive-black-and-navy#post-1216390 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 17:10:59 +0000 Phatgranny 1216390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary, following you on YLF is so enlightening!&nbsp; I feel as though you are in a laboratory cooking up all kinds of sartorial formulations for us to assess.&nbsp; Some days the formulation result is more predictable, some days surprising, and some days we have an EXPLOSION in the laboratory, during which we shake our heads and murmur, "Who knew . . .?"&nbsp; Today you cooked up a surprise -- a very interesting concoction and I like it, especially with the black and white shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-47-olive-black-and-navy#post-1216327 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 15:30:26 +0000 pil 1216327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a perfectly business-y interpretation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-47-olive-black-and-navy#post-1216311 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 15:12:15 +0000 Adelfa 1216311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love dark neutrals thrown together.
