I love this shape on you! And pairing the leopard flats with this blouse is extremely clever.<br /> What nice, interesting shots from the web. The pattern it creates is indeed inspiring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birds-bees-and-big-cats#post-817079 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 13:38:53 +0000 Suz 817079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That honeycomb blouse is sensational on you. That outfit seems to combine all the qualities you referred to on your thread about your current style. It's just lovely on you and you really shine. I also like the second outfit a lot. Gorgeous skirt! </p> <p>Love those beautiful spiderwebs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birds-bees-and-big-cats#post-817001 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 05:38:05 +0000 ManidipaM 817001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun outfits and such a fun read! </p> <p>(Thanks for reassuring me about the spiders being tucked away up the waterspout --- I'm the original Miss Muffet, though those webs are awesome!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birds-bees-and-big-cats#post-816957 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 04:41:52 +0000 AJ 816957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you had fun putting those two lovely outfits together!

Charlotte where are you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birds-bees-and-big-cats#post-816804 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 01:43:16 +0000 Amy 816804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, I really like what you did with pattern mixing in these outfits. Just lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birds-bees-and-big-cats#post-816729 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 23:05:28 +0000 Day Vies 816729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a big fan of blue and gold and I love that honeycomb print. You wear it so well! I am riveted by the cheetah print tights such a wonderful unexpected touch -- it kind of nods at the print in the blouse but not an exact copy. (Though you will have to excuse me if I copy some time soon!) I am also a big fan of full skirts. And I love how the cheetah print in your shoes nods to but does not copy the print in your blouse. I love how you mix your patterns and textures so deftly. I am a fan. Bravo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birds-bees-and-big-cats#post-816672 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 22:11:48 +0000 Kari 816672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also found this Etsy seller who makes animal-shaped brooches with text from animal themed books - Of Mice and Men, Black Beauty, Moby Dick, etc.</p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/houseofismay?ref=seller_info" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/shop/house.....eller_info</a></p> <p>I quite like the Charlotte's Web pig brooch. Loved that book. And To Kill A Mockingbird is my favorite book ever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birds-bees-and-big-cats#post-816503 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 19:24:52 +0000 Kari 816503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, it was like being in some kind of icy fairyland. They didn't look real at all!</p> <p>Angie, I'll have to keep my eye out. Or perhaps a brooch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birds-bees-and-big-cats#post-816469 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 18:52:03 +0000 Anonymous 816469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look effortlessly stylish Kari. I've never seen animal print hose, I think they are great. Two fab outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birds-bees-and-big-cats#post-816467 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 18:50:21 +0000 Angie 816467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aren't those webs amazing!! We have Halloween decorations year round in Seattle. </p> <p>Your thought process with respect to the pattern mixing was a fun read :). You need a mouse printed blouse.</p> <p>You look as lovely as ever, Kari. So fun to see a fared skirt amidst the pencils! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birds-bees-and-big-cats#post-816453 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 18:32:31 +0000 Tina.b 816453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That blouse is stunning, just love the retro print and style. You look gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birds-bees-and-big-cats#post-816440 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 18:20:41 +0000 Mona 816440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes, the honeycomb blouse is more than gorgeous on you. The colour and pattern are just so beautiful and the leopard hose is sassy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birds-bees-and-big-cats#post-816434 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 18:17:14 +0000 Transcona Shannon 816434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That honeycomb blouse is beyond stunning on you Kari - love the colour, pattern and fit. Just beautiful and I can see it working with several of your gorgeous skirts.</p> <p>Love the tonal full skirt look in the second outfit.</p> <p>Those spiderwebs are amazing! They don't even look real, do they? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birds-bees-and-big-cats#post-816411 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 18:06:18 +0000 Kari 816411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Zapotee. The blouse in #1 is VERY new, just a few days old. I couldn't wait to wear it. I'm very much on Team Wear.</p> <p>I think that, for me, the key to #2 is that the skirt doesn't have a lot of bulk/fabric around the hips and tummy like some other midi circle skirts that I've seen. Those that do make me look even MORE heavy and short-waisted! This one just happened to fit the bill. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birds-bees-and-big-cats#post-816396 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 18:00:49 +0000 Anonymous 816396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love, love, love that blouse in #1, is that a recent purchase? Beautiful.<br /> I am in awe too of how beautiful you look on that full skirt on #3. That is a very hard skirt to pull off, believe me, I have tried. Looking beautiful as always!<br /> Those frozen spiderwebs are so much fun. I hope the owners are safe and sound from the cold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birds-bees-and-big-cats#post-816360 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 17:36:40 +0000 Kari 816360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got a kick out of both of these outfits this week because the patterns seemed to represent a clash of nature. Both times, I chose to pair leopard print items with a pattern of something that a cat might conceivably want to chase - abstract honeycomb representing bumblebees, and a bird-patterned blouse. Even if no one else noticed it but me, it was enough motivation to get out the door on very chilly mornings.</p> <p>#1-2: Black and yellow "abstract honeycomb" silk blouse; black pencil skirt; black leopard patterned hose; black pumps</p> <p>#3-4: Black bird-patterned blouse; black midi circle skirt; wide black belt; leopard print pumps</p> <p>Just since I brought up the animal theme anyway, I'm also including photos of two frozen spiderwebs because they are just so incredibly cool. It looked like someone wove them out of fine thread and sprayed them with glaze!<br /> No spiders in sight, though - I assume they wisely found some very cozy waterspouts to climb up. </p>
