Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessories-scarves-bracelets-brooches#post-2320902 Tue, 02 May 2023 05:23:19 +0000 Zaeobi 2320902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These accessories are wonderfully elegant yet playful! Have you heard of Megan OCain? She was on Next in Fashion's season 2 &amp;, whilst her colours remind me of yours (though sometimes slightly more pastel), your style seems a little more grown-up than her line, whilst still retaining some 'fun' to it. A tricky balance, but it's great to see you pull it off - this is a great direction to see your style evolve into </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessories-scarves-bracelets-brooches#post-2320900 Tue, 02 May 2023 05:16:18 +0000 Bijou 2320900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW - this is a masterclass in having fun with gorgeous accessories. I love the double act of a scarf and brooch and had never thought of doing it myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessories-scarves-bracelets-brooches#post-2320899 Tue, 02 May 2023 05:04:39 +0000 Anonymous 2320899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you. &nbsp;I will have to play with bandanas this summer to see if I can create some cuffs. &nbsp;I twist damp ones to wear in the heat to keep cool, an old Boy Scout trick that can be very helpful. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessories-scarves-bracelets-brooches#post-2320671 Sat, 29 Apr 2023 23:18:44 +0000 Vildy 2320671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice!&nbsp; #9 and 13 my favorites. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessories-scarves-bracelets-brooches#post-2320665 Sat, 29 Apr 2023 22:11:08 +0000 Echo 2320665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#5 is my ultimate fave, from the watch to the necklace. I love how you have combined unexpected color combinations and I just adore your taste in jewelry (especially necklaces, which you did not mention in the title, but kind of steal the show for me!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessories-scarves-bracelets-brooches#post-2320652 Sat, 29 Apr 2023 19:41:23 +0000 Barbara Diane 2320652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE these!

It's so FUN to see you post, and these are amazing accessories combos! I too have been into bandanas lately, but your pairing of them with necklaces is so fabulous! Also didn't occur to me to wear one like a bracelet, but I love that idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessories-scarves-bracelets-brooches#post-2318215 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 16:43:53 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2318215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are an artist, Kari.

I love this. Like Angie, I'm especially fond of #1 and #3, but I also adore the colours&nbsp; and creative pattern mixing of #2 and #6 on you. Amazing attention to detail! You are reminding me that our outfits are seen close up as well as far away -- it's good to add interest for those nearer to us as well as those who only see us at a distance.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessories-scarves-bracelets-brooches#post-2318193 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 14:35:32 +0000 catherine 2318193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, I am grateful that you’re posting outfit ideas and WIWs again.

I folded it diagonally in half and then took the long edge of the triangle to keep folding it down and around, then I took the long flat bandana and wrapped it around my wrist a few times so it was lying neat and flat, and the loose ends were under my wrist. I knotted it once and then manipulated the ends to tuck them in somehow, and it stayed secure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessories-scarves-bracelets-brooches#post-2318140 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 04:01:09 +0000 Anonymous 2318140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! &nbsp; COngratulatons on your fine pieces and finding interesting ways of wearing them. &nbsp;My favorite is #11 followed by #7 and #10. &nbsp;That gReen is attractive. &nbsp;How do you secure the bandana as cuff as in #10? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessories-scarves-bracelets-brooches#post-2318139 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 03:52:11 +0000 avicennia 2318139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely collection of accessories! So colorful, tasteful and lively. I like the layering of bandannas and scarves with the jewelry. I felt happy just clicking through your photos. Yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessories-scarves-bracelets-brooches#post-2318138 Fri, 14 Apr 2023 03:44:33 +0000 Kari 2318138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My check in/catch up post this week was growing so long that I thought I’d break it up into a few different posts as I have time.</p> <p>One of my goals this year was to branch out from the habit I’d been in for several years of primarily wearing necklaces without any other accessories (that is, when I wore accessories at all, aside from almost always wearing glasses.) </p> <p>I felt like I was in a rut during the first couple post-pandemic years and was mostly at home, not working and it’s taken practice to find my groove again. I DO love a statement necklace and I’m lucky to have a nice collection (mostly gifts or fun pieces acquired over the last 20 years) but I wanted some greater variety.</p> <p>• I don’t wear earrings - my piercings are long closed.<br /> • My wedding ring is a single silver band with 10 small inset diamonds. I don’t wear fashion rings often; however, I did find a fun one with a large sea green bead that I wear on my right hand from time to time.<br /> • I often wear a watch with a rose gold band - my smartwatch - but I don’t wear it all the time. I’m used to feeling something on my left wrist now, so if I’m skipping the watch I’ll pop on a bracelet instead. Typically that’s either a leather and wire Sámi bracelet (from the area of Sweden that my grandmother and great-grandparents are from) or a wide metal cuff.<br /> • I have a small collection of brooches that I’m trying to wear more often.<br /> • In particular, I’m enjoying bandanas and scarves, and finding different ways to add pattern and color by styling with them. (As a cravat or neckerchief, as a headband, as a bracelet…)<br /> • An awesome small business that I have a couple shift dresses from (you’ll see more about them in a follow-up post) makes fabric suspenders in beautiful, colorful decorative fabrics that you can swap out on their dresses.</p> <p>Some favorites:<br /> 1. Bandana criss-crossed under collared dress and secured with a brooch - a hummingbird pin made by a Nooksack artist (from Eighth Generation.)<br /> 2. Bandana tied at the neck around a scarf ring/slide.<br /> 3. Bandana worn neckerchief style with layers of faux pearls on top, and a vintage brooch pinned on a denim jacket.<br /> 4. Bandana tied into a wide cuff bracelet. (A dendritic quartz pendant necklace is in the background.)<br /> 5. Double strand leather and wire bracelet (in the background, that blue pendant is one I’ve had since high school - I think I picked it up at a fair in Santa Fe.)<br /> 6. Bandana around head as headband.<br /> 7. Wire work/stone bracelet over a mesh top (with a lavender amethyst pendant necklace in the background.)<br /> 8. A sea green ring.<br /> 9. Salmon hand-dyed ascot with a double strand of beads in nearly the same color.<br /> 10. Bandana tied around the wrist as a cuff.<br /> 11. Bandana worn neckerchief style with a couple layers of black glass beads over it. (I was tickled to find that my dressy robe coordinated so well with the bandana.)<br /> 12. Metal and wire hair comb (made by a friend a few years ago.)<br /> 13. Plaid cotton square scarf tied around the neck and secured with a scarf ring/slide.<br /> 14. Decorative fabric suspenders on a shift dress (also with a marble pendant necklace.) </p>
