I love the top over black too. I soooo nearly returned it a couple times and am very glad I finally figured out how to make it work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ink-and-emerald-for-brunch#post-1623101 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 07:21:55 +0000 Cerinda 1623101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so wonderful in those deep colors. &nbsp;And the sweater is luscious over black like that! &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ink-and-emerald-for-brunch#post-1623040 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 03:47:17 +0000 Kari 1623040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! I know the texture is hard to see from the full body shot, but the blue in that sweater pops nicely against the black in person like in the close ups. I was thrilled to find that scarf as I love bright green with dark blue. </p> <p> I never really thought I would be a perfume person, but I am having every bit as much fun with this hobby as when I started getting into style and youlookfab years ago. Strangely, I think that focusing on fragrance has also made me have more fun with my clothing wardrobe. I think a lot about the image and vibe I want to create between my clothes in my sen I think a lot about the imaging vibe I want to create between my clothes and scent. I want to wear something that feels like me, that doesn't feel like the clothes or the perfume is wearing me instead, but I also want to be playful and have a lot of variety. As far as perfumes are concerned, this is very easy to do through samples- purchased for a reasonable price online, given for free from department stores, and a large generous gift with tons of samples from a kind benefactor that I didn't know at the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ink-and-emerald-for-brunch#post-1622764 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 16:18:13 +0000 Anonymous 1622764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari you look great!

Fabulous all round, Kari.

I really enjoy the descriptions of your outfits and then your perfumes. I love the blues and green in your outfit....so vibrant and your perfume sounds gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ink-and-emerald-for-brunch#post-1622656 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 05:33:26 +0000 Kari 1622656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>L'Elephant is utterly pretty and delicious in my eyes but it's not necessarily going to please all. The cardamom and cumin are strong, and it's not a subdued floral. But if you love that sweet, ever-changing scent you get while walking into a spice shop or market, sniffing one canister here or there, this fragrance absolutely nails that experience. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ink-and-emerald-for-brunch#post-1622652 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 05:26:40 +0000 Kari 1622652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! Anna, I do wear square scarves bandana style often, but don't like to when I'm eating (especially something with potential to splatter/stain like eggs Benedict.)<br /> And yep, Lucy plopped down right next to my brand new (used) scarf while I was getting the box out to put it away. I couldn't resist a pic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ink-and-emerald-for-brunch#post-1622642 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 05:03:36 +0000 Tanya 1622642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous outfit, and such a pretty scarf.&nbsp; Lovely colors on you.<br />Lucy steals the show though, look at those brig brown eyes... melting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ink-and-emerald-for-brunch#post-1622625 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 03:36:10 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1622625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic in this outfit, Kari! I don't think I've seen you in jeans before, and you are dynamite in them. Perfect fit, color, and length. Your dog is cute with your scarf. Now I'll have to go find some of that Kenzo Jungle L'Elephant to smell. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ink-and-emerald-for-brunch#post-1622622 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 03:21:06 +0000 annagybe 1622622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you considered wearing your scarf bandana style, might make it more modern </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ink-and-emerald-for-brunch#post-1622620 Mon, 29 Feb 2016 02:58:00 +0000 Anonymous 1622620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My goodness, is Lucy curled up on a Hermes scarf?

I like this sweater-I got it in 2014-but it was only this past year that I figured out how best to wear it. It's best worn in summer when I need only minimal coverage over my arms, and the first year that I tried it I felt seasonally confused, but managed to break it out a few times in summer 2015 with an ink pleated skirt or black culottes. The rest of the year I like it best layered under a jacket as it adds far more textural interest than a basic black or blue knit top. </p> <p>Wore basic ink bootcut jeans with low black booties, and let the accessories take center stage-green and navy patterned scarf, emerald specs and cobalt cross body purse. </p> <p>(Edited to add pic; I keep finding Lucy with my accessories while I'm getting undressed!)</p> <p>Smelling:<br /> I am wearing Kenzo Jungle L'Elephant. This was one of the scents I had considered at the beginning of my scent exploration journey. It quickly rocketed up to become a favorite. It's quite spicy but sweet, not heavy or bitter. It's like that heady smell you get opening a high quality spice drawer, a rush of flavors. I crave chai and cardamom, clove and cumin when I wear it.<br /> Check out the tantalizing review from my favorite perfume blog:<br /> <a href="http://boisdejasmin.com/2012/10/kenzo-jungle-lelephant-perfume-review.html" rel="nofollow">http://boisdejasmin.com/2012/1.....eview.html</a></p> <p>Listening to:<br /> Said the Whale, via The Vinyl Cafe podcast. </p>
