By MARIAN CHRISTY "Out In the morning!" sing-songs New York fashion designer Carol Horn, the saucer-eyed, frlizy- haired, 40-year-old divorcee who is one of America's most successful women. "Out to lunch! Out of the office for a meeting! Out to an evening of fun!" She pauses to let out a sigh. "And," she laments in pseudo-sadness, "we're out of time!" The rush-rush, speeded- up lifestyle of American women is the thing that has made Carpi Horn a fashion locomotive. Her fall forte is the greatly simplified, multipurpose fashion that goes from one event to another with nary a change. "Too many things in a woman's life are stress- says high-strung Horn, who travels to Korea to get fabrics and Hong Kong to get sweaters.

"The last things she needs are constructed clothes that inhibit her sense of movement," she adds. "Clothes should be nice and easy." Horn's fashion collection, sold under the Carol Horn's Habitat label, is now in 800 stores. She's rich, getting richer. And all because of understated, reasonably priced clothes like: A mid- calf silk skirt dress. A go- everywhere blazer suit In muted pastel plaid.

A bare dress that wfaps on eight ways. She goes one important step further. All the fall '77 colors are pale pastels or gray or beige. "One good boot or a sensational shoe in a neutral tone should be the major accessory," says Horn. "Why lots of boots? Why lots of shoes? Who has the time to shop?" Even Horn's pantsults have a twist.

Horn layers a bias wool skirt or kiltie over the pants for the office. At night, she suggests ditching the skirt and, voila, an evening "pajama" look. "This is the year of the independent woman who can make her own style," says Horn. "There are no fashion rules anymore." Where does she get her resourceful fashion ideas? "From my own instinct," she says.

"And sometimes it's a bummer. I've made mistakes. But I've learned from those mistakes." First "mistake" of Carol Horn's life was to drop out of Boston University and, later, Columbia, where she was studying fine arts, to marry sportswear manufacturer Irwin Silver. "Irwin," she says, "is a nice guy who introduced me to his friends as 'My Park Avenue One day, when I was serving him drinks and dinner, I panicked because I felt jailed. So I said to myself, 'Carol, get out of here! Find What she fouid was one job after another.

Clerking in Igor Cassini's office. Answering telephones at Satire magazine. Picking models for Advance Patterns. Decorating display windows for Macy's, where she locked herself in and had to be rescued by an incredulous boss. "I never liked I Jobf," she said.

"Moat of all. I never liked the clothei In the stores I looked at the fashion map- rines and said, If so-and-so can design, can When she was 31, Carol Horn, who had never designed before, created her first fashion collection. "It was the only time In my whole life that I felt creative." She thanks her ex-husband for inadvertently influencing her passion for fashion. "He'd come home, open Ms briefcase, throw fabric swatches on the floor, ruffle through sketches and say, 'Look at I looked! Boy did I look!" "I wai a frustrated wife," walls Horn. "I subconsciously told mystlf that someday I'd show That Man what I'm capable of doing." When the fashion world's coveted Coty Award was given to Carol Horn In 1V75, her ex-husband offered to put her in business.

"He says he had no idea that I could do all this," As ssyi. "1 guess I showed him." Carol Horn knew she wanted to design but she didn't know how. She had to learn to sketch, to make patterns, to pick fabrics, to conduct fittings. Malcolm Starr, an evening gown manufacturer, hired her to work in the background. Eventually she moved on to Bryant and Benson and Partners, two sportswear houses, where she developed real clout.

"I was in my 30s and bent on being a career woman," she sighs. "Everything 1 learned was by trial and error." Horn, an innate rebel, designs dresses that project the casualness of sportswear. It's what is making her a fashion force in middle age. "All I know is that women want to be comfortable," she says. "And I make comfortable clothes." She gamely pooh-poohs classic fashion problems like lengths.

"Oh," she says about yo- yo hemlines, "lengths are an individual decision. It's far more important for a woman to ask herself the question of questions: 'Do I have Indeed she does. McNicoll-Nutini Vow Exchange St. Robert's Catholic Church in San Bruno was the setting for the marriage of Sharon Ann McNicoll and Robert James Nutini who are making their first home in that city. The couple, who exchanged vows during afternoon rites, were honored at a reception at The Franciscan in Colma before departing for a honeymoon i to a i in the Hawaiian Islands.

The new Mrs. Nutini is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George McNicoll of San Bruno, and the sister of Barbara Kirsten of San Bruno, who served as her matron of honor, and Jerry McNicoll of Pacifica. Robert is the son of Mr.

and Mrs. Patrick Nutini of San Bruno and the brother of Pat Nutini of San Jose and Mark Nutini of San liruno who served as best man and usher respectively.
