I think that black skirt is a bit big for me! So off it went to the YLF swap yesterday, and I'm pretty sure it's on its way to Claire. Hopefully it will fit her! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-711-712-713-gary-and-tan-karen-copycat-navy-stripes#post-669388 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 20:51:09 +0000 Melissa 669388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi MaryK. I think you look stunning in photo 3. Love all the elements of your ensemble. Love the rest of your outfits too with the jackets...sassy summery sophisticated. Love the pairings especially in photo 1 of the shoes, skirt, and blazer...love each of them, but sweetly sophisticated together in this ensemble. I definitely can see the verstility of all of your pieces mixed and matched even with denim... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-711-712-713-gary-and-tan-karen-copycat-navy-stripes#post-668689 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 19:09:22 +0000 Scarlet 668689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, I would kind of like to see you turned loose as a window/mannequin dresser. You come up with such creative combinations that totally work. I am such a fan of the shoes in 3/4. Those were a gift from hubs, right? Good man. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-711-712-713-gary-and-tan-karen-copycat-navy-stripes#post-668677 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 19:02:49 +0000 Kiwichik 668677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stylish perfection as always. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-711-712-713-gary-and-tan-karen-copycat-navy-stripes#post-668248 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 02:37:05 +0000 annagybe 668248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-711-712-713-gary-and-tan-karen-copycat-navy-stripes#post-668145 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 01:04:12 +0000 Anonymous 668145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary I'm loving that J crew skirt big time. Hitting it out of the park, as usual! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-711-712-713-gary-and-tan-karen-copycat-navy-stripes#post-668142 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 00:57:48 +0000 Jonesy 668142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all fabulous and summery and chic! Sorry to hear about those beautiful red pumps pinching your feet! I love the bright print top with the crisp white jacket over it, and the pattern mixing in the third look is TDF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-711-712-713-gary-and-tan-karen-copycat-navy-stripes#post-668121 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 00:22:15 +0000 Jjsloane 668121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>4 is my absolute favorite followed by 1. The only thing I'm unsure of is the skirt in 2. A bit long or big? I'm just used to you in more pencil silhouette but I love the rest and the idea of it all (except sorry about the ouchy shoes) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-711-712-713-gary-and-tan-karen-copycat-navy-stripes#post-668113 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 00:16:46 +0000 Aida 668113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely as usual Mary! Great subdued neutrals with bits of brights (I had to re-read that you said it was hot, as I was thinking "hmm this seems like Mary is ready for cooler weather!" ). #3 is just amazing, LOVE everything about it!!</p> <p>(I was also basically wearing Karen's outfit the day that post went up! How fun ^^) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-711-712-713-gary-and-tan-karen-copycat-navy-stripes#post-667675 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 15:43:29 +0000 MsMary 667675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita, that cracks me up! "More conservative than usual" = Leopard pumps/pattern mixing, bright red sky-high pumps/giant red bracelet, bare shoulders/pattern mixing/big shiny gold bag. ROFL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-711-712-713-gary-and-tan-karen-copycat-navy-stripes#post-667674 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 15:43:24 +0000 Anonymous 667674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well you can't go wrong by copying Karen, can you? Pic 4 caused an audible gasp. Just glorious, I love the nautical flavor! Have fun tomorrow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-711-712-713-gary-and-tan-karen-copycat-navy-stripes#post-667657 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 15:37:50 +0000 modgrl 667657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG Must find a way to copycat #3-4! Love the chain ring blouse, I have a Cache one in hot pink and gold. Must wear it soon!! You look lovely in all of these. For some reason these feel a bit more conservative than your usual outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-711-712-713-gary-and-tan-karen-copycat-navy-stripes#post-667633 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 15:32:27 +0000 rae 667633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, 3-4 is my fave, too! That blouse definitely deserves its time in the sun. You would never know the weather was anything but perfect to look at you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-711-712-713-gary-and-tan-karen-copycat-navy-stripes#post-667618 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 15:24:02 +0000 Transcona Shannon 667618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm crazy in love with #3/4! That blouse pairs so well with navy and I really like how the stripes in the blazer mimic the navy piping on your shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-711-712-713-gary-and-tan-karen-copycat-navy-stripes#post-667602 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 15:17:53 +0000 JulieJohn 667602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 has great depth and subtle repetition that I love. #4 unexpected combo that looks breezy and beautiful - and a little bit French. Love those Seychelles pumps. YOW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-711-712-713-gary-and-tan-karen-copycat-navy-stripes#post-667593 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 15:11:50 +0000 ManidipaM 667593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You outdo yourself each and every day, MaryK, but I absolutely adore the advanced pattern mixing of that first outfit. Understated colours by your usual standards, but such a delightful wealth of interest. Brava! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-711-712-713-gary-and-tan-karen-copycat-navy-stripes#post-667583 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 15:03:13 +0000 morethanbeige 667583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All look fabulous, but I am particularly wowed by #3. That blouse looks amazing on you, both fit and color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-711-712-713-gary-and-tan-karen-copycat-navy-stripes#post-667561 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 14:43:04 +0000 MsMary 667561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. It has been super hot here so I have been taking full advantage of my lightweight skirts and jackets. This is a gray St. John Sport skirt and Talbots tan pinstripe blazer from the consignment store, along with an Olivia Moon pinted top and my fave Jessica Simpson leopard pumps. The black studded tote is Coach via eBay.</p> <p>2. I planned this outfit the night before and imagine my surprise when I saw Angie's lovely Karen wearing a <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2012/07/12/karens-summer-style-cropped-pants-fuchsia-flats/">similar formula on the very same day!</a> Black bottoms (skirt handed down from a friend), black printed top (Escada via consignment), white blazer (NY&amp;Co.), black bag (same Coach tote), bright shoes! Unfortunately these new lipstick red Jessica Simpson pumps are too tight and need a trip to the cobbler to be stretched! Yowch!</p> <p>3/4. I wore this Talbots silk blouse for my recent photo session and decided it needed to get out more. Teamed it with my fave new navy J Crew skirt, AT Loft striped blazer, Seychelles pumps and Michael Kors gold bag. I am loving this outfit today! </p> <p>Thanks for looking and commenting! I always appreciate your honest feedback! </p>
