And of course you look so nicely put together and chic in your outfits, as always. Good luck with the job hunt. It sounds very frustrating. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-photos-and-a-couple-cute-rats#post-919924 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 12:24:19 +0000 Isis 919924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Keep the faith on the job front, Kari.&nbsp; Something will eventually come through.&nbsp; It's fantastic that you are getting interviews, so I think it is just a matter of time...<br /><br />Your ratties are so so cute.&nbsp; I <i>love</i> #8!&nbsp; My kids had rats for a long time, and they are so smart and loveable!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-photos-and-a-couple-cute-rats#post-919919 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 11:44:25 +0000 Krista 919919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That peplum top is gorgeous on you - I'm sure you get tons of wear out of it!<br /><br />Hello to Boo and Blinkin! Animals are so cute when they sleep, aren't they? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-photos-and-a-couple-cute-rats#post-919837 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 05:18:42 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 919837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Forgot to say: Hi, Boo and Blinkin! <br />They are adorable!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-photos-and-a-couple-cute-rats#post-919835 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 05:17:40 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 919835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your outfits are gorgeous. Great to see you again! I especially like the cardi and dress in 1; love the colors, the pattern mixing, and how sublime you look in it. The jeans outfits are super sharp, too. You can at least take some comfort I hope in the fact that you look fabulous, and I'm sending good wishes your way for something really, really good to happen in your job search soon! It's great to hear you're getting interviews, so you know your resume and cover letters are working!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-photos-and-a-couple-cute-rats#post-919803 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 03:45:39 +0000 Kari 919803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you. &nbsp;First of all, while it's beyond frustrating to keep slamming against the same wall while job searching, it's helpful to have the emotional support and advice here on the forum.<br /><br />And thank you for the rattie love. &nbsp;I am SO unabashedly biased, but I think that Boo and Blinkin are pretty charming. &nbsp;They are currently snoozing inside my shirt as we speak - to a bypasser I'd look like I have really lumpy, lopsided boobs that occasionally shift position. &nbsp;;) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-photos-and-a-couple-cute-rats#post-919799 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 03:41:55 +0000 Lantana 919799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's marvellous and to your credit that you have a swathe of FFBO to tide you over this period when your creative energies are focussed elsewhere.<br /> I love your little ratties. My sons kept them once upon a time. As a pet, they are clean and clever and, while they don't blow everybody's hair back, we enjoyed them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-photos-and-a-couple-cute-rats#post-919757 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 02:14:48 +0000 Transcona Shannon 919757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Totally understandable about your style taking a back seat with all that you have going on, but my goodness, you look fantastic! Those Jag jeans are fab on you and I adore that green dress on you - such a fantastic colour.<br /><br />The babies are SOOOOOOO CUTE!!! I'm a HUGE rattie lover, having had three of them as pets before our pussycats. Don't you just want to cuddle and play with them all the time? Pic #8 made me say "aaawwwwwwww" out loud... https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-photos-and-a-couple-cute-rats#post-919705 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 01:05:18 +0000 kellygirl 919705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So gorgeous, Kari. I can imagine how fashion can take a back seat when you are so busy. At least it doesn't show. You look smashing in all of these but I especially adore the peplum top. So chic and pretty! Ratties are adorbs too https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-photos-and-a-couple-cute-rats#post-919699 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 00:55:55 +0000 Beth Ann 919699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I've missed your color-spiration, Kari, but I completely understand why your energies are elsewhere.&nbsp; I'm sure that a hiring manager will see the possibilities in you!&nbsp; At least you'll know you're working with a company that looks beyond the "boxes."&nbsp; I'm not sure it would be easy to flourish at a company that thought in "positions" rather than "people" for very long.<br /><br />Love this printed dress.&nbsp; It's rather like a green galaxy print!&nbsp; The suit separates look rich and elegant!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-photos-and-a-couple-cute-rats#post-919698 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 00:54:58 +0000 Day Vies 919698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm looking for a job too -- at least you're getting interviews. I love the b/w outfit very cute with the lace print.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-photos-and-a-couple-cute-rats#post-919600 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 21:44:49 +0000 Caro in Oz 919600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great outfits Kari &amp; very cute rat babies.<br />Sorry about the job search, it is hard not to get discouraged. I'm sure there is something great out there:) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-photos-and-a-couple-cute-rats#post-919597 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 21:42:02 +0000 Lyn D. 919597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ditto re your pair of cuties!<br />You are certainly dressed for ANY position Kari- just have to get your 'foot in the door' so they can see how FAB you are inside as well as outside.<br />Best of luck! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-photos-and-a-couple-cute-rats#post-919594 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 21:35:46 +0000 merwoman 919594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Have missed your posts Kari - your outfits are gorgeous! I particularly like #3 - something about that beautiful black and white patterned top bookended with your shoes really does it for me! Your pets are very sweet!<br />Sending positive thoughts re the job search.&nbsp; Some lucky employer will nab you! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-photos-and-a-couple-cute-rats#post-919592 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 21:31:13 +0000 Niefern 919592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like #2, very professional and elegant, and #3, so nice,&nbsp;particularly the top, I'd love a top like that myself.<br /><br />But let me tell you, those rats are stealing the show! How cute and adorable!<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-photos-and-a-couple-cute-rats#post-919591 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 21:30:21 +0000 Kristin L 919591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Very nice outfits. Good luck with your job search as well.&nbsp;<br /><br />Your little rats look so adorable! Especially with their little arms crossed and curled&nbsp;as they sleep. Awwwww... https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-photos-and-a-couple-cute-rats#post-919521 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 19:17:56 +0000 rae 919521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love your outfits, Kari! The pattern mix in #1 is too fun. And the furbabies! Sending cuddles from me. *squeeze!*<br /><br />I daresay I know how you feel re: the job market. Ugh. The old experience catch-22. I hope you find a company/hiring manager that can see through that and invest in YOU as the fab worker that you are.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-photos-and-a-couple-cute-rats#post-919506 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 18:30:07 +0000 Kari 919506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I've hardly had time to snap any outfit photos over the past few weeks, and what I have photographed has been pretty poor-quality as I've been in a rush. &nbsp;I'm kind of going through a phase where style is not as interesting to me, though I've got good outfits to fall back on.&nbsp;I think that's partly because I've been focusing my energies so heavily on (unfruitful) job searching right now, so what I'm wearing is taking a backseat except for during job&nbsp;interviews.<br />(As for job searching - it's the same story. &nbsp;Resume is doing its job as I am getting invitations to many phone interviews and in person interviews; I interview well; but my actual experience is not deep enough to shine, and I cannot get the needed experience unless I leave my current company.)<br /><br />#1: Black tights and pumps, green and black marbled Michael Kors dress, black and green cardigan<br />#2: Dark JAG bootcut jeans, burgundy patent pumps, burgundy, black, and citron patterned shell, gray jacket from suit<br />#3: Dark JAG bootcut jeans, black and white peplum top, cameo brooch, leopard print pumps<br /><br />However, I also have some cute photos of my sweet Boo and Blinkin to share.<br /><span>The girls are VERY active, but it is so tricky to get quality photos of them when they are awake - instead, I try to keep my camera handy for when they doze off. &nbsp;They are so funny and have grown to be very comfortable with us.<br /></span>Just so I don't over-spam the forum, if you are interested to see my ratties in action, I have a bunch of videos up on YouTube:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/user/177639/videos">https://www.youtube.com/user/177639/videos</a><br />
