But I see your point and of course think it's a great idea. Who knows? Maybe lightweight summery version with some fun patterned&nbsp;bag is in my future ;-)<br />Btw, Angie coined Magical Mary.</p> <p><b>MsKatieKat</b> :: Then the next copy is in order very soon... next week perhaps?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copying-maryk-1#post-1252898 Fri, 16 May 2014 02:44:24 +0000 MsLuna 1252898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit is great! I really like how you interpreted MaryK's outfit and how you reversed the blue and black! Interesting how MaryK's outfits are so inspiring. I did a MaryK inspired outfit a while back myself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copying-maryk-1#post-1252889 Fri, 16 May 2014 02:30:41 +0000 Jaime 1252889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these colors on you and you sure know how to pick inspiration!&nbsp;I pick 2.2! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copying-maryk-1#post-1252856 Fri, 16 May 2014 02:00:46 +0000 Sara L. 1252856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun pictures! &nbsp;I really like this color combo on you. &nbsp;The yellow bag looks fab with the blue and white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copying-maryk-1#post-1252842 Fri, 16 May 2014 01:25:35 +0000 rachylou 1252842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're right about the jackets. It's so fascinating how it works. How two people need different things to get a similar effect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copying-maryk-1#post-1252812 Fri, 16 May 2014 00:36:34 +0000 Zibbets 1252812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the spirit of sisterly encouragement on this board!&nbsp;</p> <p>Ornella, you look marvelous in all of these. My favorite is the middle one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copying-maryk-1#post-1252807 Fri, 16 May 2014 00:26:46 +0000 Karie 1252807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Double the fun!

I love this both outfits are fabulous!!! I love the white bottoms with the lighter blues and black. A yellow bag is such a nice punctuation. It screams spring and sunshine. No suggestions for improvement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copying-maryk-1#post-1252726 Thu, 15 May 2014 22:48:44 +0000 dustt 1252726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh - there is that yellow bag again...... maybe I'll copy too!! - great interpretation Ornella!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copying-maryk-1#post-1252691 Thu, 15 May 2014 22:07:40 +0000 Aida 1252691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the nickname Magical Mary ^^ What a fun copycat! Your point about switching around the colors in ways that work best for the wearer is a good one. All iterations work very nicely to my eye, but you know me and my colors.. I'd take the middle option for most cheerful. A printed purse would also be fun here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copying-maryk-1#post-1252596 Thu, 15 May 2014 19:54:16 +0000 Debra 1252596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous outfit, so simple......SO FAB </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copying-maryk-1#post-1252562 Thu, 15 May 2014 19:18:30 +0000 Style Fan 1252562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the middle outfit.&nbsp; You look great in the blue colour.&nbsp; I love blue and yellow together.&nbsp; Very FAB! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copying-maryk-1#post-1252557 Thu, 15 May 2014 19:14:51 +0000 Ornella 1252557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One more detail Rachy - the jackets. Just imagine both Mary and me with opposite toppers (she in the dark one and I in the softly coloured one). It would not work as good as the options we were actually wearing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copying-maryk-1#post-1252547 Thu, 15 May 2014 19:02:49 +0000 rachylou 1252547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suberb. I like seeing your blues and MaryK's blues side by side. Sorta how to do the blue most flattering to you, but still be in the same range... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copying-maryk-1#post-1252462 Thu, 15 May 2014 16:39:44 +0000 Lisa 1252462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun, I adore both your and MaryK's looks.&nbsp; I am usually a fan of no more than 2 colors in an outfit and black and white say neutral to me.&nbsp; So that means that the middle one (black, white, blue and yellow) is my favorite of the group. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copying-maryk-1#post-1252397 Thu, 15 May 2014 14:17:38 +0000 Neel 1252397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the first statement. Who needs pinterest when there is Magical Mary :). So true!</p> <p>I love your interpretation and you look lovely in white. I like all three outfits. Not sure if I can choose a favorite! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copying-maryk-1#post-1252386 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:59:50 +0000 Ornella 1252386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>MaryK</b> :: (ABBA-style) #<i>they do, they do,&nbsp;they do, they do</i></p> <p><i><br /></i></p> <i><br /> </i> <p><i></i><b>Sterling</b> :: welcome to&nbsp;the forum.

I enjoy seeing the pop of yellow. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copying-maryk-1#post-1252314 Thu, 15 May 2014 12:19:44 +0000 Astrid 1252314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love! Both the inspiration and your interpretation. I like that one best too, so the middle picture. The two other outfits are also lovely of course. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copying-maryk-1#post-1252312 Thu, 15 May 2014 12:15:35 +0000 Ornella 1252312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Or, who needs Pinterest when you have Magical Mary?</p> <p>In her own words: </p> <ul> <li>"<i>When I saw&nbsp;</i><a rel="nofollow" href="http://funwithfashion.lookfab.com/post/wiw-512-blue-and-white-and-yellow-and-silver"><i>this outfit</i></a><i>&nbsp;I knew I had to copy it...</i>",&nbsp;</li> </ul> <p>and in fact I had copied it instantly as a few minutes after I saw Mary's post I had to get ready for the appointment I had that morning. I didn't post it on the day though&nbsp;because after I got back home&nbsp;I saw that Angie blogged about dramatic outfits, which had woken up my inner Superwoman and I just had spent the rest of that day&nbsp;in the red cape :-D</p> </p> <p>But, here it is now. (Nicely coinciding with today's post featuring yellow and gentle shade of blue...)</p> <p>Although this outfit&nbsp;has much less of my kind of&nbsp;drama, this one still felt like me. Not to mention how special I feel when there's such obvious mental connection with someone who's one ocean and almost 2 contents away, yet is an important part of my every day.</p> </p> <p>And just for fun, the second photo is a collage&nbsp;of&nbsp;outfits for your comparison, &nbsp;interpretations and further analysis -&nbsp;all differing by one detail from the previous photo.&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>You already saw outfit 2.1 in my weekend thread (basically: black, white and yellow bag).</li> <li>Outfit 2.2 has the same colour combination, with the sky blue sleeveless turtleneck layered under the black topper.</li> <li>Outfit 2.3 - yellow colour out of the picture.</li> </ul> <p>Which one of the three is your favourite?</p> <p>Further comments and suggestions welcome, spanners too - of course ;-)</p>
