WIW 10/10: Fall has fallen! Leopard and bees and booties!

MsMary

We have finally got some cool weather around here! Hooray! This started out as a copycat of an outfit from Jessica Quirk that I pinned to my Pinterest page, but then one thing led to another and it ended up as a not-so-faithful homage. But the blouse is the very same!

Tan pencil skirt: Halogen
"Bee" silk blouse: Emerson Made
Leopard scarf: internet flash sale
Black blazer: Comptoir Des Cotonniers
Tan belt: YLF swap
Espresso tote: Elliott Lucca
Brown booties: G by Guess

Thanks for looking! Any input is always appreciated!

Nice! I think the outfit still looks very similar to the inspiration photo. It's just modified to reflect your style and the pieces in your closet. I like how the leopard print scarf ties the whole outfit together.

She sowed the seed:-) I love both looks! You do such a good job of mixing things up and keeping your looks interesting. I enjoy your WIWs a lot.

I'm a fan of Jessica Quirk's blog too! I think you've been properly inspired by her combination here and it works very well on you too!

Pretty outfit, with the colors saying your ready for fall! It's great to see your inspiration photo, too, to see how you played off the original idea. I notice that she dressed up the bottom, with pumps, and you dressed up the top with your blazer. I love your booties and bag. Nice job.

Great interpretation! You look FAB!

Nice interpretation, MK, you are a fall beauty, matching bees with shades of honey. As a web design HTML coding geek, I can say that outfit is "quirks enabled". And I definitely mean that as a compliment.

Fab as always. I may have to copy that photo too -- I suspect it will include my blue pencil skirt rather than yellow, my black leather jacket, and booties like yours instead of her pumps, so you're *both* inspiring me!

This is totally fab, but please tell me it will be warm and sunny.

I want to try a version of this outfit too, now that I've seen your fab interpretation. It looks perfect for fall. Thank you for posting this.

Oh, I find your take much more sophisticated!

Una, the forecast for the weekend is mostly sunny and lhighs in the low to mid 70s. (Lows in the high 50s/low 60s.) Which to me is "fall-like," and to you no doubt qualifies as "warm!"

Janet, I can totally see you rocking a version of this outfit with a leather jacket!!

Great interpretation. I think I have the right items in my wardrobe to copy that look too... wheels are turning.

Yay! That's summer for me, minus the rain and nonstop daylight. Nothing makes me happier than warm darkness.

What a fresh outfit! I really like your interpretation, MaryK. I actually like it even better than the original. Your WIWs are always a pleasure:)

Still looks very true to the inspiration to me! And the bee interpretation is less literal with your tan skirt vs. the yellow.

I just love the way you translate what you see on a model to what you wear. What a great eye for color and proportion you have.

I agree with Moira and I like how you've chosen booties rather than pumps - nice work!

I'm still chuckling that we both pinned and copied the same outfit! Love your version here. That bee blouse is so fab! Love the booties too.
