I am a dress and denim skirt&nbsp; lover too, so no wonder love those on you -but my absolute fave look is nr 15&nbsp; (very glam)&nbsp; and nr 2. 4,&nbsp; 8 and the pumpkin culottes&nbsp; are outstanding, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-springearly-summer#post-2207419 Sun, 04 Jul 2021 07:11:30 +0000 Sally 2207419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely photos.&nbsp; I love how you mix the colours and wear such different combinations.&nbsp; I especially love the dresses 10 and 12.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-springearly-summer#post-2207418 Sun, 04 Jul 2021 06:48:34 +0000 Bijou 2207418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favourite photo is #20 - stunning! Your style has a certain consistency but also evolution. The turquoise dress is bombshell gorgeous. You have seriously hit the ball out of the park with #2, it just goes to show that it pays to try new silhouettes and look online for inspiration on how to wear them.</p> <p>I am so glad that you can connect with your family and spend time with your baby niece. It is also lovely to see you and Emma back out in the world.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-springearly-summer#post-2207411 Sun, 04 Jul 2021 05:31:10 +0000 Jessikams 2207411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress in #10!<br /> Are the wide-leg jeans from the Erdem collaboration with Universal Standard?

I have not wore a strapless top since my high school prom and don't see myself every trying. Your use of color is always a treat and I love the variety of your outfits that still remain very Kari.<br />So glad you could see your family and friends again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-springearly-summer#post-2207351 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 23:12:52 +0000 catherine 2207351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, thanks for posting these.

Your outfit posts are a joy to look at. I love the wide patchwork jeans and the way you have styled them - so no 2 and 16 are favorites of this round. But all outfits are awesome.

Longer hair is gorgeous on you. Fably '70s with it pulled to one side with a clip :)</p> <p>You wear wide crops, dresses and mules soooo well! My faves are #1, 2, 4, 10, 11, 12 and 16. But every outfit is fab in its own way, and a pleasure to look at!&nbsp;</p> <p>#2 is KILLER to the Power of KILLER and my absolute favourite. Elegant, pretty, on trend and hip. The juxtaposition of the pussy bow and oxfords is yummy! And the jeans are sublime!</p> <p>In #4 you're ready to step onto the '70s disco dance floor of Saturday Night Fever. I love it!</p> <p>I agree with <b>Jules</b> that the gold mules are glam. And Lucy is very precious :)</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-springearly-summer#post-2207072 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 20:07:48 +0000 kkards 2207072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>those blues and teals are great colors on you!&nbsp;<br />and the overalls, love! and with the metallic shoes, its unexpected and fun.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-springearly-summer#post-2207066 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 19:54:34 +0000 anchie 2207066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful outfit.

The turquoise dress is stunning on you, and I really love the strapless top outfits and the casual dresses. However, my heart is with the overalls and the shorts outfit in the park! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-springearly-summer#post-2207040 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 18:07:09 +0000 Anonymous 2207040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful spring/summer outfits! My favorite is the dress in #10. Great fit and style. Also, love the colors and print. What an awesome peapod necklace </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-springearly-summer#post-2207039 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 18:04:00 +0000 RoseandJoan 2207039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Kari you're looking great.</p> <p>I've been off the forum for a long time but when I saw the peacock blue dress I had to smile as it's a colour I think is distinctly you. </p> <p>Those mules are beautiful workhorses too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-springearly-summer#post-2207038 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 18:00:06 +0000 rachylou 2207038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, you have the best pieces, the best eye for styling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-springearly-summer#post-2207036 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 17:52:24 +0000 Minaminu 2207036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>that blue dress!!! oh wow! all outfits are beautiful and they show&nbsp; your bubbly personality!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-springearly-summer#post-2207034 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 17:47:09 +0000 Kari 2207034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Favorite outfits from the past 2 months (with some very fluctuating temperatures!)</p> <p>Some days I’m still spending all day in loungewear, but there are more and more days where getting dressed in something nicer/more creative feels fun. I’ve also been challenging myself to embrace pieces that I wasn’t sure how to wear - wide cropped pants or jeans, a denim skirt (yes, I know supposedly denim skirts are an easy staple, but it’s stumped me over the past year!) and diving into overalls with gusto.<br /> Also, we’ve had weather that was nice enough to pull out pretty summer dresses. </p> <p>The biggest change since last time I posted was being fully vaccinated and able to really meet and socialize with my baby niece for the first time since her birth last summer. I’m so glad that we can finally be together; she’s a really happy, sweet, un-fussy kid and seems to really be excited to see me. Also, finally was able to hug and be with my family; due to where my husband and I live we weren’t safe to include in any immediate family “pods” until both of us were vaccinated. Being able to be with loved ones FINALLY and see friends who I’ve only talked with online for the past year and a half is such a gift.</p> <p>1. Colors that I’d not combined before, but made me smile: wide crepe pumpkin culottes, a teal knit top with some genius twisting that makes it drape beautifully, Rose gold flat mules, a pendant necklace with turquoise and carnelian details<br /> 2. One of my style challenges: wide, cropped jeans (additional challenge of being shorter than any of the models I saw styling this look; I collected a lot of images from searches of fellow plus size folks wearing jeans and pants like this, brainstorming ideas.) These are wide patchwork jeans with slightly lighter patches and pockets, and I really liked the look of them. Paired with a black floaty blouse with bell sleeves, tucked in, floating pearl necklace, golden-silver oxfords (that’s the official color label on the box.)<br /> 3. Dark denim overalls with zipper detail on the bib, the same golden-silver oxfords, a cerulean long sleeved tee with colorblocked navy cuffs, a labradorite pendant on a pewter chain<br /> 4. Black strapless top tucked into black “harem” drop-crotch pants, rose gold collar necklace, rose gold flat mules<br /> 5. Turquoise long sleeved mesh dress over a turquoise asymmetrical hem dress with short sleeves, low-heeled rose gold mules, double strands of floating pearls<br /> 6-7. Olive knit pencil skirt, teal ribbed tank top, green leafy beaded necklace, yellow suede mules<br /> 8. Basically the same as the prior outfit, just in different colors: forest green knit pencil skirt and ribbed tank, double strand of floating pearls, silver loafers<br /> 9. Black semi-sheer sleeveless blouse with a gold swan pattern on it (and unseen, a big lace panel across the upper back) with black denim below-knee shorts, green Chaco sandals, silver pendant necklace<br /> 10. A multicolored fit and flare midi dress, shirtdress-style except sleeveless; multicolored geometric print primarily in salmon, gold, and burgundy. Worn with flat rose gold mules and rose gold collar necklace.<br /> 11. Dark denim skirt, black camisole, chambray shirt knotted and with sleeves rolled, with silver T-strap sandals and silver collar necklace<br /> 12. Another favorite summer dress, this one with a coral and cobalt watercolor floral print. This sleeveless dress has a deep V, ruched shoulders, pockets, and falls just below the knee on me. Paired with flat rose gold mules.<br /> 13. Resin-coated jeans with zippers at ankles, forest green ribbed tank, black vest worn open, flat rose gold mules, silver pendant necklace<br /> 14. Grey leather jacket (this is the one I finally patched in early 2020, on the sleeve you can see here!) with an unseen teal tee underneath, grey skinny jeans, and sneakers (meeting up with baby niece to explore a farm)<br /> 15. Black fit and flare dress, pewter and purple beaded collar necklace, flat rose gold mules<br /> 16. The same wide patchwork jeans you saw earlier with a burgundy pussycat bow blouse with fuchsia, orange, and white watercolor floral pattern, and the same golden-silver Oxfords.<br /> 17. Black strapless top with the black below the knee shorts, silver collar necklace, silver T-strap sandals<br /> 18. Black resin-Coated jeans with ankle zippers, a black tee underneath a satin black bomber jacket, silver pendant necklace, and sneakers<br /> 19. Wide crepe pumpkin culottes, the same sleeveless black blouse with the swan print and flat rose gold mules, rose gold cuff bracelet<br /> 20. From the same day as #1, me with no glasses and wavy hair. I liked how this picture turned out, and this week when my niece saw it (when I wasn’t there) she got VERY happy and excited, clearly recognizing that it was me. (That felt great to hear!)</p> <p>Hope you’re all well! </p>
