I'm all for bossing that sweater around, too, if you can prevent it from unraveling. Gorgeous colors! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/karis-seattle-swap-finds#post-614141 Mon, 07 May 2012 16:26:33 +0000 Vicki 614141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, it's so much fun to hear what you brought home from the clothing swap and you did well! Yes, I like your idea of turning the argyle sweater into a sleeveless vest. Those ARE your colors. So cool to get some "Angie" necklaces, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/karis-seattle-swap-finds#post-613887 Mon, 07 May 2012 04:15:26 +0000 Anonymous 613887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those necklaces are perfect for you! I'd love to see that sweater become a vest. I'm after a sweater-vest myself! Uber versatile, I would think! If the armholes aren't cut too deep, you could also wear it as a top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/karis-seattle-swap-finds#post-613883 Mon, 07 May 2012 04:10:10 +0000 ManidipaM 613883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The necklaces are adorable little treasures! Hope you can alter the sweater to a vest --- would really make it uber-versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/karis-seattle-swap-finds#post-613865 Mon, 07 May 2012 03:22:37 +0000 Anonymous 613865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh lord that black necklace is divine. I like the sweater and yes, I think it is a great idea to remove the collar and sleeves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/karis-seattle-swap-finds#post-613828 Mon, 07 May 2012 02:14:38 +0000 sarah 613828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such pretty colors! And how fun to end up with necklaces of Angie's... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/karis-seattle-swap-finds#post-613802 Mon, 07 May 2012 01:36:59 +0000 marianna 613802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool! I'm super envious that you got Angie's necklaces! Love them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/karis-seattle-swap-finds#post-613705 Mon, 07 May 2012 00:01:55 +0000 cheryl 613705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great goodies from the swap </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/karis-seattle-swap-finds#post-613639 Sun, 06 May 2012 21:04:20 +0000 Kiwichik 613639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you'll get more wear if you alter the sweater and the colours are perfect for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/karis-seattle-swap-finds#post-613616 Sun, 06 May 2012 20:43:12 +0000 Transcona Shannon 613616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pretty Kari! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/karis-seattle-swap-finds#post-613580 Sun, 06 May 2012 19:28:11 +0000 Kari 613580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope that it works to alter the sweater to be a sleeveless vest. I'm imagining the possibilities - aside from the obvious layering over a white collared button-down blouse, there's my chambray shirt, or my silk long-sleeved coral blouse... Could potentially work really well.</p> <p>I can't wait to break out Angie's necklaces, too. They actually look pretty sharp together since the black tulle unifies the necklaces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/karis-seattle-swap-finds#post-613571 Sun, 06 May 2012 19:15:23 +0000 Sarah A 613571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the sweater is really great! I do think you would find it gets more use if it is sleeveless and cant wait to hear how the alteration might turn out... and Angie's necklaces will be fun on so many levels! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/karis-seattle-swap-finds#post-613567 Sun, 06 May 2012 19:11:43 +0000 Meredith1953 613567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that cute sweater and the pearls are lovely! I wish I could have come and hung with you all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/karis-seattle-swap-finds#post-613564 Sun, 06 May 2012 19:08:59 +0000 Amy 613564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great finds! It was so much fun spending time with you yesterday </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/karis-seattle-swap-finds#post-613562 Sun, 06 May 2012 19:08:00 +0000 christieanne 613562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun! I can't wait to see the results of your styling. It is so rewarding to have our beloved things go to a friend who will appreciate. The things I swapped last week are already being sported by a cute little girl and her mom. Fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/karis-seattle-swap-finds#post-613556 Sun, 06 May 2012 18:57:45 +0000 Kari 613556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, it would require cutting but seems like it would be an easy alteration, as it's sewn on underneath the sweater and is hidden. May even be able to just detach the threads with a seam ripper. I'm not sure if turning it into a sleeveless garment would be a harder alteration or not - I'll check with my mom, who is my resident alterations expert. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/karis-seattle-swap-finds#post-613553 Sun, 06 May 2012 18:55:21 +0000 morethanbeige 613553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great loot. I love those colors too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/karis-seattle-swap-finds#post-613552 Sun, 06 May 2012 18:53:08 +0000 Laura 613552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super fun loot, Kari! I remember seeing that pearl necklace on Angie. And the argyle sweater is very prep - is the collar detachable, or would it require cutting? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/karis-seattle-swap-finds#post-613550 Sun, 06 May 2012 18:50:29 +0000 Angie 613550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love seeing my necklaces go to the very best home and adorn an uber stylish lass like yourself </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/karis-seattle-swap-finds#post-613545 Sun, 06 May 2012 18:47:54 +0000 Kari 613545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a blast at the <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2012/03/28/save-the-date-seattle-ylf-swap-meet-on-may-5/">Seattle YouLookFab clothing swap</a> yesterday-the second that I've been able to attend. This year I didn't come home with a lot, but I'm quite pleased with what I brought home: an INC. brand turquoise short sleeved argyle print sweater with faux white collar attached, a black beaded necklace with a black feathery pendant pinned on, and a white costume pearl necklace with black tulle. </p> <p>Both necklaces were Angie's from Hong Kong - it's even more fun for me to take home a formerly owned piece that belonged to someone I really like. I don't know who the sweater belonged to, but it makes me think of MaryK. The colors are spot on for my "spicy and greens" color palette. The color looks fantastic with my raisin, turquoise, and magenta Halogen pencil skirts.</p> <p>I'm contemplating seeing if I can turn the sweater into a short sleeved sweater vest and removing the collar as I suspect I'll get more wear that way. What do you think? </p>
