I am a long-time lover of peplum and houndstooth so this post is like manna. The black lace with the gorgeous green is lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-ikat-and-houndstooth#post-729305 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 06:34:46 +0000 rae 729305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need to peel myself off the floor from #1. Wow! No wonder you duplicated! Amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-ikat-and-houndstooth#post-729262 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 02:59:15 +0000 Jaime 729262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That black lace and green is stunning on you. And the other two are nothing to sneeze at either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-ikat-and-houndstooth#post-729204 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:17:57 +0000 Beth Ann 729204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look stunning, Kari! I may have to place that black lace peplum on my list, too. It would be great for singing -- covered, but cool and comfortable. Thanks for reminding me how a bright can work as a "neutral." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-ikat-and-houndstooth#post-729203 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:12:05 +0000 soobee 729203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfits and I LURVE that blue bag! Now, please tell me how to use my remote? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-ikat-and-houndstooth#post-729200 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:09:32 +0000 annagybe 729200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is my favorite. Peplums do wonders for you. I'm not so sure about the casualness of the cross body bag with your dressy persona. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-ikat-and-houndstooth#post-729183 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 00:56:31 +0000 Thistle 729183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That lace peplum top looks beyond fab on you! I love all three outfits, but especially #1! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-ikat-and-houndstooth#post-729150 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 00:27:46 +0000 christy 729150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, I absolutely ADORE that black lace peplum top with that emerald skirt!!! Since we are skirt twins, we might become top twins also! Sounds like you are settling into the new place wonderfully. 2/3 are great as well, but #1 really stands out to me as just perfection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-ikat-and-houndstooth#post-729147 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 00:23:01 +0000 Suz 729147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous, Kari! That lace is stunning. And what a fun piece to dress up or down. I can see it with a denim jacket, or with black pencil skirt for a false "dress" look to go out on the town. So lovely. I have serious bag envy, too. And you are Ms. Techie wizard for getting your household all wired. As for iMacs - YAY!! (I have an old one...mine actually died in the winter but I got a new hard drive and it has revived.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-ikat-and-houndstooth#post-729122 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 23:48:54 +0000 RedM 729122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with everyone else that the lace top is gorgeous. As an aside, I really love how you are pairing that peacock bag with different prints and colors and it always seems to look so great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-ikat-and-houndstooth#post-729088 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 22:36:38 +0000 Caro in Oz 729088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My jaw dropped (in a GOOD way) - I think you found a signature look - you look amazing in that black top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-ikat-and-houndstooth#post-729083 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 22:31:15 +0000 Nicole D 729083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the peplum! That style is so flattering and feminine! I have two (one short sleeved royal blue and one 3/4 sleeve lack, both heavy jersey). I LOVE THAT BAG!!! AWesome shape and colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-ikat-and-houndstooth#post-729039 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 20:48:25 +0000 deb 729039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You definitely wear the peplum well. You look fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-ikat-and-houndstooth#post-729024 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 20:24:45 +0000 celia 729024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You and peplum were made for each other.That lace top is gorgeous.<br /> All three outfits are great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-ikat-and-houndstooth#post-728966 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 18:17:45 +0000 Anonymous 728966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh, that lace top is amazing! You look so fab!</p> <p>And I am quite impressed with your techy prowess. My husband and I should hire you to come over and explain The Modern World to us. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-ikat-and-houndstooth#post-728959 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 18:03:15 +0000 Transcona Shannon 728959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WHOA - that lace peplum top is TO DIE FOR on you Kari! Paired with the green skirt, well it's just stunning!</p> <p>And look at you Ms. Techie - you go girl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-ikat-and-houndstooth#post-728955 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 17:59:21 +0000 Kari 728955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know not everyone is a fan of peplum tops, but oh boy, did I ever fall hard for these excellent <a href="http://pencilskirtlife.lookfab.com/post/what-i-wore-today-psa-on-great-ponte-peplum-top">peplum tops by Bobeau</a>. I found the peacock blue top that I originally got to be such a great fit and perfect for pairing over pencil skirts, and decided to duplicate the top in black lace, which possibly has an even MORE flattering drape on my figure. I love it!</p> <p>This was a rather exciting week in B's and my household. After years of B. stressing that I REALLY needed to get a new computer before my old PC kicked the bucket, I finally took the plunge and brought home a refurbished iMac. (My sister has had one for years and couldn't rave about them highly enough; also, since my monitor was also starting to die, I figured an all-in-one desktop option would be best for me.) Given that I've ALWAYS owned and worked on PCs, I'm still getting used to some changes, but the transition has really been surprisingly easy overall. However, adjusting photos in iPhoto (since I take photos when it's dark outside and use an indoor flash, I like to correct the light a bit) is still not something that I'm used to.</p> <p>B. and I have also been living without a TV for the past few years - not out of any specific anti-television principle, but mainly because in our old place it would have been a little challenging to make room for one. In our new apartment, our living room is quite large, so we have finally added a TV to our household. I felt quite crafty for figuring out how to hook our Blu-Ray up to stream from NetFlix, Hulu, and YouTube last night, and it worked like a charm. We're going to see how it goes with those services only for a while - we're reluctant to add the expense of cable TV to our package if we don't really need it.</p> <p>On to what I wore:<br /> #1: Black lace peplum top, emerald green knit pencil skirt, black ECCO pumps, black bead and cord necklace.<br /> #2: Black ponte midi circle skirt, black ribbon worn as belt, black and white houndstooth shell, double strand white pearl and chain necklace, low heeled aqua pumps; peacock blue cross-body bag<br /> #3: Yellow, gray, and white ikat print dress; yellow Second Base demi-camisole; low heeled aqua pumps; peacock blue cross-body bag</p> <p>Also partly visible is the awesome henna tattoo my sister (she's a graphic designer) did on my ankle. The henna ink that she used was a really excellent batch - a week later and it's still very bold and strong! </p>
