ANYONE can cook up a killer smart casual outfit once the ingredients are in place. For most it will be as simple as dressing up jeans, but you can also be creative with dressy/casual contrasts.

I wanted to look professional and polished, yet playful and trendy, so this is what I wore when we visited to Karen Kane.

These coral jeans found me last week and I am thoroughly enjoying pairing them with other bright colours.

An hour of fascinators, wedding gowns, dressy frocks and lots of beautiful embellishment came our way last Sunday afternoon.

I’m kicking off the week with a detailed review of three Karen Kane items: shorts, blouse and frock. Giveaway to follow.

We at YouLookFab wish you and your Mothers a very special day on Sunday.

Warning: Colour contrast ahead. I’m as bright as a traffic beacon and enjoying a very sunny Seattle day.

This is what I wore for a day of closet editing and outfit creation with one of my clients.

Spring in Seattle is still cold, but at least its sunnier than it was last week! Here’s an outfit that keeps me warm and bright.

I enjoy wearing this colour combination in the Spring because it lifts my mood on a cold and grey Seattle day.

A bright and sentimental 70’s inspired outfit brightens up a rainy Seattle Spring day. Good thing we can pop white jeans into the wash after one wear.

I probably adore formal suits because I don’t need to wear them very often, and when I do I can dress them up and down as I please.
