WIW 6/24: New orange blazer - YouLookFab Forum

I have had a wardrobe hole for an orange blazer for a while, and after being so pleased with the Olivia Moon linen jacket in neutral colors, I went back for the rust chili color and couldn't be happier! For some reason I can't seem to "collect" it in this color but it's on sale right now in several colors! And yes, I realize I'm probably the only person on the planet who would have an orange-blazer wardrobe hole! LOL

Print pencil skirt: Halogen
Silk blouse: Emerson Made
Orange blazer: Olivia Moon
Nude pumps: Target
White satchel: Banana Republic

The photo isn't the best but I'm happy with it in real life. I tried gray pumps but I've got a bit of a sore toe so I went for the comfier nude pumps today. I hope it works. What do you think?

You had me at "a wardrobe hole for an orange blazer", LOL.

Having said that, you look fabulous. I adore this shade and you are rocking it. Love the pattern mixing, too. Great job, as always, MsMary

Really fresh!

Yes, definitely you had a wardrobe hole that you had to fill to make this fab outfit!

Yes. Excellent decision to get the orange version too, Mary. And it's perfect with the shirt and fab skirt here.

P.S. I'm still laughing about your comment on Angie's blog post yesterday. I can just picture you inspecting every single potato in the produce section :-))

So incredibly perfect Mary!

I totally LOL'd at "wardrobe hole for an orange blazer", then LOL'd even louder when you commented on that further down. Funny.

A totally FAB outfit. The pairing of hte top with tiny dots and the skirt is brilliant. And the colour is to die for. Good job!

Debra

Looking fabulous, another great addition to your collection

Diana

This is such a happy outfit! The colors are happy, you look happy, and it makes me happy to look at it. =)

I am thinking you will be able to wear that jacket a lot. Cobalt Halogen skirt comes to mind.

gardenchick

Very nice! Love the floral skirt too.

Isn't that Tomato Red?

My favourite Mary-Pencil-Skirt.

Do you have an orchid or citron blazer hole? xo

Tanya

Gorgeous! This is the first orange-anything wardrobe hole i have ever heard of

MsLuna

The blazer looks great with that outfit, wow!

Funny you have an orange blazer wardrobe hole! Such a unique colour too I take it you have a lot of orange items in your wardrobe?

MsMary

Angie, you temptress... they were out of the blazer in orchid in petite, so I just ordered it in the regular size. (It's marked down, after all.) We'll see if it fits...

Love the colors, and the pattern-mixing with dotty blouse and floral skirt.

I have Olivia Moon knit blazers but I thought the linen would be too short, based on measurements listed. I tend to like 23-25" for pants. But maybe I should try anyway? Summer jackets are so hard!

Really a beautiful, multilayered combination.

Jaime

You are a site for sore eyes Ms.Mary!

So fresh!

Isis

Love this! And I also laughed at the idea of an orange blazer "hole".....only on YLF!

Janet

I love that skirt, and the blazer was MADE for it, so yes, it was definitely a wardrobe hole. And how do you manage to look so amazing in every single color of the rainbow? Great look!

I loved that skirt when I saw it before. The new blazer is a lovely match. Also like the subtle pattern mixing.

Echo

I, too, am laughing about the orange blazer wardrobe hole. Only you, fab MsMary! But this outfit is completely fab, and I love the nude pumps with it, too. Oh, and FWIW, the blazer reads more tomato red on my screen, too, but no matter what you call it, it is a great colour!

Suz

Oh, you devil...if the orchid doesn't fit you and you want to pass it along, want to send it to me? I'll buy it. I have been debating on that but it's not worth the cost to me for shipping/ duties, etc.

This outfit is GORGEOUS. I love love love love love it -- and you know my ambivalent feelings about orange. But, well....those feelings are only about orange on me. Not on you! I love the silk blouse with this cotton skirt that has its own more subtle sheen. It's texturally luxurious and lovely with the linen. FAB outfit, Mary.

Alana in Canada

My goodness, you look amazing in orange. So glad you filled the "wardrobe hole" so fabulously. I have to say you mixing that dotted blouse with the flowery skirt is a stroke of genius.

dashielle (Ann)

I'm blown away at how good you look in orange! Not a simple feat at all. Do you find the blazer to run TTS? Am thinking to pick up the white for jeans and skirts.

Adelfa

Oh, you know this is my favorite skirt of yours! Wonderful outfit. I like how the blazer is longer on you. On me it's sort of cropped.

Dashielle, I find the blazer runs small. I ordered both the M and L petite and found the L petite fit just fine.

Ledonna N.

Lovely, oh and pattern and color mixing. Dose the sleeve on the jacket have a sort of bell sleeve? Beautiful color on you.
