You have such strong innate style, and your outfits are a visual treat. &nbsp;The photos of you running are also so inspiring and uplifting - I know running is not always easy and fun, but you sure look joyous!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-fall-roundup-running-gear#post-2078518 Tue, 19 Nov 2019 12:33:01 +0000 Laura 2078518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This array of photos is so gorgeous in every way and I feel like I not only got to know what you’ve been wearing but got a little glimpse into your daily life, too! The emerald Geneva dress with the pumps is stunning and honestly, every outfit is amazing and well styled. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-fall-roundup-running-gear#post-2078514 Tue, 19 Nov 2019 12:21:43 +0000 Bijou 2078514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari - everything about this post is fabulous - the fashion and sport inspiration! You have never looked better and it is such a treat to see what gorgeous clothes, shoes and specs you are wearing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-fall-roundup-running-gear#post-2078478 Tue, 19 Nov 2019 12:07:34 +0000 Kari 2078478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah! Thank you. </p> <p>The ombré hair was totally accidental. I was between at-home dye touch-ups in September and the lower part of my hair that was salon colored in April retains color (the part that is pink) and the scalp that’s only had direct dye on it (no developer) is oily and too smooth/closed hair follicle to pick up color. Just as I started feeling embarrassed to run around with goofy hair and thinking I really ought to retouch it, I started getting compliments from strangers about it. It has been so funny. I didn’t think of my two toned faded locks as fashionable but I guess it looked like I did it on purpose, so I kept rocking the fade!</p> <p>FashIntern, thanks - it does indeed. I went into running a year ago really trying to recover strength and endurance that I had lost over years, and trying to see if I could love running. I found both of those things in spades. I’m hooked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-fall-roundup-running-gear#post-2078471 Tue, 19 Nov 2019 11:55:54 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2078471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic, all of them. I hope your gear makes you feel strong and capable. You look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-fall-roundup-running-gear#post-2078469 Tue, 19 Nov 2019 11:52:36 +0000 kkards 2078469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i was so&nbsp;distracted by your FAB hair, that i had to go thru the pictures again to actually see what you were wearing! all great, but my fav is the ballet outfit...and i like how it pattern mixes with painting in the backround</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-fall-roundup-running-gear#post-2078452 Tue, 19 Nov 2019 09:39:03 +0000 Kari 2078452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And Sal, I’m so sorry that you were injured and had a rough experience. That’s so hard and disappointing after so much training. </p> <p>I nearly had a similar experience. I got sick just before my taper was due to start, then allergy season started, asthma flared up, and I was throwing up when I’d try to run because pollen was so high. I nearly dropped down to a lesser distance and was scared because up until days before the race, my taper that was supposed to have many low mileage runs had almost NO running or activity. </p> <p>Fortunately I recovered and pollens dropped a bit RIGHT before race day, and the months of training left me very well prepared. But it was iffy, and it’s hard, and having an injury would be such a letdown when you are planning for a run that is like your injury-free practice sessions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-fall-roundup-running-gear#post-2078448 Tue, 19 Nov 2019 08:37:23 +0000 Kari 2078448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks!</p> <p>And AJ, I’m chuckling over your kudos. My iPhone thanks you while berating me for not being as careful as I ought with a pricey phone. Aside from photos at races with a photographer, my running shots involve (while on a walk interval or a warmup or cooldown) encountering something like a fence or a sign with a base and a ledge, turning on 10 sec timer, balance phone and hope it doesn’t fall, run at it, and see if anything works out. LOTS more bloopers where I’m not in frame at all than successful shots. It’s worth a laugh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-fall-roundup-running-gear#post-2078446 Tue, 19 Nov 2019 07:00:10 +0000 Sal 2078446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You really look sensational. 1 5 6 10-12 are all amazing! And all the gear pics.</p> <p>I did a half recently and found it a real battle- I got an injury two weeks out and thought I could run anyway. It was very disappointing!!</p> <p>You really suits all these looks and your smile is infectious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-fall-roundup-running-gear#post-2078443 Tue, 19 Nov 2019 05:56:47 +0000 Barbara Diane 2078443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your style. But the best part is that you look so happy in your outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-fall-roundup-running-gear#post-2078442 Tue, 19 Nov 2019 05:46:09 +0000 AJ 2078442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Shevia said!&nbsp; So many FAB outfits!&nbsp; Fun set of exercise wear too and kudos to your photographer for the great action shots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-fall-roundup-running-gear#post-2078404 Tue, 19 Nov 2019 02:07:07 +0000 Jaime 2078404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari what a totally fabulous set of pictures. You put together colorful and interesting outfits that still look elegant and sophisticated and your jogging pictures are just so cool! Inspo for everything from statement necklaces to statement gear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-fall-roundup-running-gear#post-2078400 Tue, 19 Nov 2019 01:42:54 +0000 Carla 2078400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah! Kari - I tried a pair similar to your #2! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-fall-roundup-running-gear#post-2078391 Tue, 19 Nov 2019 00:41:55 +0000 Kari 2078391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Runcarla, you are so sweet. Thank you. </p> <p>I actually saw they did a model call locally earlier this year, but sadly I’m too short for their criteria. (They were not calling for petite models. I’m 5’5” but I was still below their minimum height for non-petites.)</p> <p>They have a fabulously diverse group of models, though!</p> <p>I wish I could spirit you to Seattle for specs shopping. We are spoiled with a lot of choice in boutiques, even for folks like me with very wide faces. </p> <p>I should add that I have a new pair coming (this time from Warby Parker, as I’ve found a great pair of clear honey-gold tinted specs that I’ve been considering all year) and recently tried on some more expensive boutique specs. I want to take advantage of a generous vision hardware allowance before end of the year. </p> <p>These are 3 almost but not quite specs. I am judging them compared to what I already have.</p> <p> I LOVE #1 and would get them if I didn’t already have both teal/fuchsia and purple/blue titanium specs. They are just too similar to what I have.<br /> #2 is ALMOST there but too heavy at the temples.<br /> #3 is FUN but takes over my face. I want my glasses to draw attention to my face but not BE the only focus. If they were not solid turquoise but had a contrasting lighter color - like white inside - it would add some dimension and lightness.</p> <p>I like looking for specs. I will probably make this part of its own post once my new pair arrives and I can show them to you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-fall-roundup-running-gear#post-2078390 Tue, 19 Nov 2019 00:39:29 +0000 Windchime 2078390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a hard leaving your first outfit to look at the others—it is SO elegant and fab! I’m glad you included the closeup of your specs, too—they are gorgeous on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-fall-roundup-running-gear#post-2078384 Tue, 19 Nov 2019 00:27:33 +0000 Carla 2078384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Let me repeat what’s been said before - you should model for Universal Standard. Heck! I think you should BE a model! Congratulations on embracing the fitness lifestyle, too.</p> <p>PS: I wish you were here to go specs shopping with me. You’ve got the BEST specs collection... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-fall-roundup-running-gear#post-2078382 Tue, 19 Nov 2019 00:18:09 +0000 Kari 2078382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks!</p> <p>Slim Cat, I am! That tee (sleeves rolled up as easier to run with) is from Ratapalooza, our local rat show. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-fall-roundup-running-gear#post-2078376 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 23:40:37 +0000 slim cat 2078376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like you are in Seattle ( or your tank-top in pick#23 is ) - love bright colors on you! Personal fav are #1-4. In truth all outfits look great - fit and style are fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-fall-roundup-running-gear#post-2078364 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 23:12:26 +0000 Suz 2078364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun outfits, Kari -- both the fashion and the running gear ones! It looks as if you are having a great time getting dressed for all your activities. Especially love 1, 3, 5, 12.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-fall-roundup-running-gear#post-2078356 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 22:52:31 +0000 Kari 2078356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! I think part of the reason I’ve fangirled so hard over Universal Standard (in addition to loving the fit and quality) is that it’s really helped me lean into the MODERN part of modern classic. I’m having SO much fun getting dressed now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-fall-roundup-running-gear#post-2078355 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 22:51:10 +0000 Kari 2078355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At the moment, just keeping up on my base training/ running mileage to maintain where I am. I am waiting until I have a bigger budget before I register for more in-person events, but I have two virtual half marathons that I’d really like to earn (if possible, in December.)</p> <p>I ran my first half in June and loved it. I do 5ks a couple days a week and longer runs on the weekend (from 4-10 miles.) I got bit by the running bug a LOT this year, did a marathon relay with friends, and I want to do more!</p> <p>I just jumped over to your thread on off topic about running to add some thoughts and suggestions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-fall-roundup-running-gear#post-2078350 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 22:38:11 +0000 Helena 2078350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab Kari! Are you training for something, or just running for fun and fitness?</p> <p>You wear colour with the best of them and have such a classical vibe with a modern twist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-fall-roundup-running-gear#post-2078330 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 21:52:56 +0000 Kari 2078330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A roundup of what I wore for various occasions:</p> <p>1-2: Meeting family for an awesome wine club release party. Dark resin jeans with side zip, black mesh dress over a black camisole, black gilet, rose gold collar necklace, royal blue and emerald velvet pumps </p> <p>3-4: For a ballet performance. Burgundy ponte sheath with asymmetrical neckline, floral burnout velvet duster (mustard with burgundy and purple florals), glass and rose gold pendant, gold envelope clutch, rose gold wedges </p> <p>5-6: For a family wedding. Teal crepe and satin shift, black glass and gold metal/thread necklaces, royal blue and emerald pumps, gold envelope clutch </p> <p>7-9: Casual wear with a really awesome wildcard for me: an incredibly soft, high quality olive hoodie from Universal Standard (one of two pieces using a discount coupon.) Wore with dark resin of grey jeans, and under an olive moto or black leather jacket with pewter oxfords. </p> <p>10-12: For a family party. The second purchase using a discount coupon. A blue cupro tee (tee used loosely because it’s an incredibly luxe fabric.) Worn with black ponte pants, gold mules, denim jacket. </p> <p>13-15: A friend offered an extra ticket for a really fun theater performance. Emerald satin “Geneva” dress with asymmetrical hem, satin black bomber, royal blue and emerald pumps, black leggings, gold envelope clutch, black glass beaded necklace. </p> <p>16-23: What I’m really spending most of my time in when not in loungewear: running (or walking/hiking/yoga) gear. </p>
