The chambray shirt dresses down the skirt nicely. I do agree, if you wear denim once to work it may open floodgates that would be very hard to close. This is a lovely weekend outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-sunday-matinee-homage-to-modgrl#post-430396 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 07:43:07 +0000 Aunty 430396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You just look stunning!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-sunday-matinee-homage-to-modgrl#post-430371 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 06:03:38 +0000 Aida 430371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary I LOVE love this look! The black belt is my favorite detail, and snakeskin pumps are just perfectly paired here. The color palette here is superb, monotone (chambray, gray, black) with one deep and somewhat muted color (magenta). My kind of outfit, I would so very happily wear this </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-sunday-matinee-homage-to-modgrl#post-430323 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 02:46:40 +0000 sarah 430323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous, MK, I hope the show was good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-sunday-matinee-homage-to-modgrl#post-430318 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 02:34:21 +0000 cjh 430318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NIce!! The blue chambray looks really smooth with the magenta. ?? That's just the word that came to me... And the shoes and bag are a sort of pewter effect? I like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-sunday-matinee-homage-to-modgrl#post-430304 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 02:14:21 +0000 Erin 430304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW, really amazing.

They suit you beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-sunday-matinee-homage-to-modgrl#post-430261 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 01:25:58 +0000 Angie 430261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You batted for Team Minimalism here - how does it feel, oh so fab Mary? </p> <p>Love this outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-sunday-matinee-homage-to-modgrl#post-430244 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 01:05:07 +0000 MNsara 430244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stay strong on the "no denim to work" personal policy! I agree that it could open some floodgates that you don't want to deal with. Plus, you have pullenty of non-denim clothing to choose from ;-)</p> <p>LOVE this look on you!! The bright skirt is subdued by the soft chambray - perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-sunday-matinee-homage-to-modgrl#post-430217 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 00:25:32 +0000 modgrl 430217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW!! I am so honored to have inspired you! You look amazing! I love those colors on you. I have both of these pieces. I can't wait to try this combo later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-sunday-matinee-homage-to-modgrl#post-430212 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 00:19:25 +0000 MsMary 430212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! We saw a show called "Poor Behavior" and really enjoyed the heck out of it! We went early because we'd heard there would be traffic tie-ups and enjoyed a nice lunch at the patio bar. Big fun!</p> <p>Goldenpig, I could probably wear the chambray shirt to work and nobody would bat an eye, but I have this crazy idea that doing so would say "It's okay for everybody to wear denim to work," and that's definitely not the case so I just don't want to go there. Probably just me over-thinking things, as usual!</p> <p>Makrame, stay tuned! I'm planning the gray Halogen skirt with a bright blouse tomorrow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-sunday-matinee-homage-to-modgrl#post-430194 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 23:39:56 +0000 Kari 430194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! That fuchsia color really adds richness to the hue of the chambray shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-sunday-matinee-homage-to-modgrl#post-430176 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 23:05:05 +0000 Deborah 430176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! Casual but polished. Your hair looks really cute a la natural! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-sunday-matinee-homage-to-modgrl#post-430146 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 21:16:21 +0000 Barbara 430146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FIERCE! Fabulous color combo, MaryK.<br /> Your styling is absolute perfection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-sunday-matinee-homage-to-modgrl#post-430139 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 20:55:26 +0000 Makrame 430139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great (and the inspiration outfit on modgirl was great, too). Nice color combo and wonderful balance of dressy and casual. Makes me wonder if I can adapt this to my grey Halogen skirt (won't be as colorful, but still...). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-sunday-matinee-homage-to-modgrl#post-430134 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 20:44:54 +0000 Anonymous 430134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cute!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-sunday-matinee-homage-to-modgrl#post-430131 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 20:34:55 +0000 goldenpig 430131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MaryK, you are so fabulous! I love your "Inspired by..." posts because even though the idea may have been someone else's, you turn it into a totally MaryK outfit. I totally love copying your style too, can't you tell?</p> <p>I love this outfit...why couldn't you wear this to work? It certainly seems very polished to me! RATE hair or not! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-sunday-matinee-homage-to-modgrl#post-430105 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 19:22:25 +0000 Allison 430105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this combo! I always enjoy polished with casual touches (like the chambray). I guess I have been brainwashed by J Crew </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-sunday-matinee-homage-to-modgrl#post-430104 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 19:17:49 +0000 christy 430104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That raspberry skirt is a gorgeous color! Love the denim shirt with it. Perfect for the theatre! What did you see? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-sunday-matinee-homage-to-modgrl#post-430100 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 18:52:41 +0000 Sarah 430100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this! It looks really good w/chambray. The color is great on you and it's a perfect look for the theater! Don't you have it in another color?</p> <p>I just received this skirt (in same color) on Friday and am anxious to post some pix too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-sunday-matinee-homage-to-modgrl#post-430096 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 18:47:51 +0000 Ginny 430096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect, love the colors on you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-sunday-matinee-homage-to-modgrl#post-430094 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 18:38:46 +0000 MsMary 430094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been dying to wear one of my bright Halogen seamed skirts with the famous Target chambray shirt ever since I saw our own modgrl rock it here: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-80s-fever-pink" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....fever-pink</a></p> <p>I adopted the braided belt idea from her, and added the Jessica Simpson snakeskin shoes in a mashup with another fab chambray-and-bright-skirt combo here: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attn-fellow-raisin-skirt-owners" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....irt-owners</a>, which also had a (now-vanished) link to somebody rocking a magenta skirt with a chambray top. This is the first outing for the purple-magenta skirt and I'm so happy I stalked and stalked until it finally showed up in the petite sizes!</p> <p>I have been thinking about this outfit for weeks but didn't really have an occasion to wear it. Contrary to popular belief, I do have some self-imposed limits on work wear, and "no denim at work" is one of my few rules. And the seamed pencil skirt is generally too dressy for knocking around on the weekend. But today we have tickets to the theatre, for which the combo will be perfect! </p> <p>Oh, and the hair is a shoutout to all you RATE girls out there. If this isn't RATE hair, I surely don't know what is! LOL</p> <p>I'm delighted by how it all turned out! What do you all think? </p>
