WIW 6/4: What's black and white and emerald and multi all over?

MsMary

Me! It was nice and cool so I chose something more covered-up than usual for this time of year.

Multi silk pussy-bow blouse: Catherine Malandrino via consignment
Emerald pencil skirt: Halogen
Black and white jacket: Kate Spade
Black patent pumps: Jessica Simpson
Black tote: Coach via eBay

I always appreciate your input!

That blouse is AWESOME! Almost like the magic dress in rainbow! Love it with the emerald skirt, and love how the jacket is kind of toned down. When you take it off, you get a lovely burst of color!

Lovely blouse. It makes me think of butterflies - gloriously colorful butterflies.

Mary you are back to color again and I love it. I liked your neutrals too but when I see the little pics on the main page and the bright colors, I think of you.

I like how the jacket just shows a hint of what looks like a colorful scarf and then when you take the jacket off...BAM happy butterfly time! (Or is it flowers?)

This is such a FAB outfit, MaryK! I know you say that you have a co-worker who loves fashion too, but I can't imagine her having more fun that you!

Well, it may be more covered up, but it's certainly not quiet and conservative! Brilliant, happy and crisp. Brava!

Now THIS is MaryK live and in color. I'm still sad about the NL jacket, but relieved to see how much color you have in your hot hands already!

This is one of my most favorite outfits on you! Love the butterfly blouse--you can't get any more you than that! Love it with the green and black and my favorite KS jacket on you. So striking!

Bestest, most brilliant pattern-mixing evah! Love the tweed and the carnivalesque pattern together, neatened up with black and juxtaposed against that strong solid emerald. And like AJ said --- I like how it looks conservative all wrapped up, looking like a scarf in the neckline and then, wowza!

Oh god that blouse is just simply AWESOME. Loved it on you. You are one really stylish lady. So chic, so pulled together and so gorgeous. You know fashion really well. Loved the jacket, pumps and that tote. Such gorgeous accessories. Infact perfect.

That is a gorgeous blouse on you! And wow, that jacket is earning its keep. It must be comfortable in addition to all else it has to recommend it.

Is that the petite skirt? I'm eyeing the length. I like this on you; it's just below the knee, right? My black one (petite) falls above the knee on me and while the length is fine, I am wondering if I wouldn't stand to order the regular sized version (plus I'd get my pick of colours...)

Mary, you know I love your legs, but by golly - do I love you in a longer skirt.

Perfection! I love that the jacket is very professional looking (though still really interesting), then you take it off and you have this explosion of color and pattern that is gorgeous (and still very professional looking, of course, just super-jazzy and a feast for the eyes).

Wow, thank you so much, ladies!

I am particularly fond of this blouse because in addition to being so beautiful, it's a souvenir of my consignment shopping expedition with Zapotee in NYC!

Suz, the KS jacket is indeed supremely comfortable and it's amazing how versatile it has turned out to be! The green Halogen skirt is a regular size, not a petite. They never did make that color in petite and I just had to have it so I took a chance and it worked out.

What a gorgeous blouse! Love the pattern and colors. You look amazing in those knee-hitting pencil skirts. It's a fabulous length for you.

You know what's really funny? Before I found YLF this was my standard skirt length, and now it looks really really long to me! It's so funny how our eyes adjust, isn't it?

Thanks, MaryK - that makes sense, and now i know why it is longer than some of your others.

It's encouraging to me - maybe I can order a regular size one, too, and make it work. The colour selection is SO much better!!!

Whoa! I am not ALGO at all in my dressing, but you are making me reconsider! Fabulous blouse. I love how with the jacket, there is just a hint of the butterflies, but when the jacket comes off - watch out! Like you emerge from your chrysalis every time you take off your jacket.
