For work in particular, a great dress is always a no brainer on 'those' days. You have such a beautiful collection of dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-example-of-my-favorite-fast-fall-back-outfit#post-616490 Thu, 10 May 2012 05:18:05 +0000 Kari 616490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire, I don't know why, but I struggled with dresses until fairly recently (last couple years.) I think it took me a while to learn what shapes and materials are easy for me to wear, vs. something that's constantly going to pose a challenge or feel uncomfortable. I definitely encourage you not to give up. Once you find a winning dress it's well worth the effort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-example-of-my-favorite-fast-fall-back-outfit#post-616488 Thu, 10 May 2012 05:14:02 +0000 Kari 616488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Modgrl, gosh, I think you look fantastic in your dress! I have loved it on you since day 1. It is so easy, isn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-example-of-my-favorite-fast-fall-back-outfit#post-616468 Thu, 10 May 2012 04:43:14 +0000 ManidipaM 616468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, you are the EMPRESS of the Dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-example-of-my-favorite-fast-fall-back-outfit#post-616243 Thu, 10 May 2012 00:04:09 +0000 Aida 616243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari you officially have the Very Best dresses! I always enjoy seeing this one, such a fab and fun print (and spicy colors to boot!). I can see why this is a FFBO for you, I really love this idea. If I had more dresses I would use it, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-example-of-my-favorite-fast-fall-back-outfit#post-616123 Wed, 09 May 2012 20:44:44 +0000 Sarah 616123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you look so good in your fall back outfit. I think of you as this person-colorful, fun and perfectly put together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-example-of-my-favorite-fast-fall-back-outfit#post-616102 Wed, 09 May 2012 20:18:15 +0000 annagybe 616102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is the graphic midi dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-example-of-my-favorite-fast-fall-back-outfit#post-616097 Wed, 09 May 2012 20:11:21 +0000 Anonymous 616097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I wish I could rock a dress like you! Its a formula that clearly works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-example-of-my-favorite-fast-fall-back-outfit#post-616092 Wed, 09 May 2012 20:09:14 +0000 Vicki 616092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see why you love patterned dresses, and this one in particular, because the look and *pattern* in some hard-to-define way make it so complete. Adding your fashion formula takes everything up to give you that fast fall-back success and makes it work so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-example-of-my-favorite-fast-fall-back-outfit#post-616090 Wed, 09 May 2012 20:05:50 +0000 Anonymous 616090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That has got to be the PERFECT dress for you. I also really like the summery looking dress in the last row of your collage. IDK if I've seen that one before (I joined late last summer). I'm glad someone has luck with dresses. They are very hard for me to fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-example-of-my-favorite-fast-fall-back-outfit#post-616089 Wed, 09 May 2012 20:04:27 +0000 jayne 616089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I so agree on dress luv! They are super easy and always feminine and make me feel great. I struggle with lengths though and the dang cold that will never end. Glad I can watch you rock dresses and live vicariously! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-example-of-my-favorite-fast-fall-back-outfit#post-616085 Wed, 09 May 2012 20:01:30 +0000 Anonymous 616085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Printed dresses are my FFBO as well, particularly if they're lined so I don't have to wear a slip. It's so easy to look pulled together in a printed dress, and your dress looks absolutely fantastic on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-example-of-my-favorite-fast-fall-back-outfit#post-616008 Wed, 09 May 2012 17:37:58 +0000 cheryl 616008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great formula. You always look wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-example-of-my-favorite-fast-fall-back-outfit#post-616001 Wed, 09 May 2012 17:20:22 +0000 goldenpig 616001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, you and printed dresses are a match made in heaven! I love you in all of these!</p> <p>BTW I too like printed dresses as my FFBO! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-example-of-my-favorite-fast-fall-back-outfit#post-615978 Wed, 09 May 2012 16:40:10 +0000 nicoleb 615978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-example-of-my-favorite-fast-fall-back-outfit#post-615906 Wed, 09 May 2012 14:54:09 +0000 Transcona Shannon 615906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulicious! I love you in dresses Kari and this one is probably my favourite on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-example-of-my-favorite-fast-fall-back-outfit#post-615901 Wed, 09 May 2012 14:50:09 +0000 Amy 615901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful, Kari! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-example-of-my-favorite-fast-fall-back-outfit#post-615900 Wed, 09 May 2012 14:45:38 +0000 Shu 615900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your formula! I'm a big fan of that one too. The pic is small, but I'm also loving that chevron-striped dress with the cognac belt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-example-of-my-favorite-fast-fall-back-outfit#post-615890 Wed, 09 May 2012 14:30:43 +0000 Angie 615890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of my faves on you! An 11 out of 10 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-example-of-my-favorite-fast-fall-back-outfit#post-615887 Wed, 09 May 2012 14:17:50 +0000 modgrl 615887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!! This dress is a winner for me too. I always feel like a cheap pretender when I wear this dress. It will always be "your" dress because it looks so amazing on you but I love mine beyond reason too. It is the easiest way for me to look put together from head to toe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-example-of-my-favorite-fast-fall-back-outfit#post-615885 Wed, 09 May 2012 14:14:48 +0000 Kari 615885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Back when Angie first blogged about the concept of <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2010/03/16/ffbo-the-fast-fall-back-outfit/">the Fast Fall Back Outfit</a> I was intrigued, and gave some thought to what is quickest and easiest for me to pull on when I'm in a pinch for time, but still need to look and feel put together. This is why I've fallen head over heels in love with patterned dresses - and why, during a very hectic year, I've been wearing dresses more than any other clothing item. Patterned dresses are a no-brainer for me - occasionally (but not necessarily) I'll throw on an accessory - a belt, scarf, or necklace - and a pair of pumps, flats, or boots. Then I'm done and good to go for the day. It couldn't be easier.</p> <p>Recently forum member Elly posted <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-favorite-fall-back-outfitsformulas">asking forum members to share their favorite fast fall back outfit formulas.</a> I was really intrigued by the creative combinations that others came up with, especially Aida's smart idea of tracking personal formulas that work best for her - something that I need to pay attention to! But for now, the dress is the easiest formula for me to pull off.</p> <p>Below, what I'm wearing today: colorful "scribble print" Nine West faux-wrap dress; purple necklace of flat disc-like beads; burgundy pumps.</p> <p>And for kicks, a collage of some of my tried and true FFBO's during the past year. </p>
