It was such a sweet celebration and I really hope the family felt honored and supported. </p> <p>I’m very glad the ruffle and bow shoes weren’t too much. I have a simpler pair of mules, the buttercup yellow suede ones I just got from NAS, but against the blue and with my bright red hair it felt like too many primary colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/life-celebration-and-fast-fallback-outfit#post-2047468 Thu, 25 Jul 2019 02:08:51 +0000 fathenry 2047468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That outfit is beautiful in you, so sorry for your loss.

The shoes really compliment the ruffle bottom of the sheath - interesting and pretty combination. This is such an appropriate outfit for the event you describe, celebratory and respectful. Cheers to wearing a bridesmaid dress again.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/life-celebration-and-fast-fallback-outfit#post-2047183 Wed, 24 Jul 2019 01:39:57 +0000 Kari 2047183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you. It was a sad loss, and someone I’ve known since I started seeing my now-husband but didn’t know as long as many who were there. I enjoyed hearing so many stories about before I met him. It was a sweet and moving celebration of a person who touched many friends and family. </p> <p>Funny thing, once we had already left home, we learned that the service was a lot more casual, but we weren’t the only people dressed up. </p> <p>This is seriously the only “bridesmaid’s” dress that I’ve worn again (probably because it wasn’t made as a bridesmaid’s dress.) At the time I’d debated between this and another Eliza J dress with a beautiful back detail, but this one is a lot more versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/life-celebration-and-fast-fallback-outfit#post-2046965 Tue, 23 Jul 2019 13:12:30 +0000 Anonymous 2046965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress is fabulous and the blue looks just as amazing on you as green does. Love the scarf and light gold to lighten it up a little. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/life-celebration-and-fast-fallback-outfit#post-2046926 Tue, 23 Jul 2019 08:56:53 +0000 Cee 2046926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My deepest condolences, Kari.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/life-celebration-and-fast-fallback-outfit#post-2046898 Tue, 23 Jul 2019 02:28:36 +0000 Karie 2046898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so sorry for your loss.<br /> The outfit is gorgeous- I love the color on you, and the scarf is a perfect addition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/life-celebration-and-fast-fallback-outfit#post-2046739 Mon, 22 Jul 2019 17:08:39 +0000 Anonymous 2046739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so sorry for your loss-but love those colors on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/life-celebration-and-fast-fallback-outfit#post-2046658 Mon, 22 Jul 2019 14:19:11 +0000 Anonymous 2046658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look very beautiful here Kari, and I too am sorry to hear of your loss. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/life-celebration-and-fast-fallback-outfit#post-2046614 Mon, 22 Jul 2019 11:52:12 +0000 Preppy Pear 2046614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry for your loss.

I like the idea of celebration of life rather than mourning over death (of course that is part of it too). <br />Sorry for your loss. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/life-celebration-and-fast-fallback-outfit#post-2046561 Mon, 22 Jul 2019 06:20:25 +0000 Jane 2046561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a super outfit, fabulous colours. Sounds as if it was an uplifting celebration. </p> <p>Well done with the quick change. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/life-celebration-and-fast-fallback-outfit#post-2046550 Mon, 22 Jul 2019 04:36:46 +0000 Kari 2046550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have not been active here for a while leading up to the anniversary sale, and thought I’d share what I wore to an event this weekend celebrating the life of a special person we recently lost from my in-laws’ family. This was truly a life celebration with so much laughter amid the tears and beautiful stories and memories shared. </p> <p>It was a bit of a scramble to get ready for this memorial. We had got our dates wrong, remembering next weekend as the day it would be held, but just before leaving the house for a more casual gathering we learned that it was THIS weekend. We had enough time to adjust plans. Thank goodness for easy fallback pieces that just work.</p> <p>I realized that today, trying to balance respect and comfort and celebration, I wore something very similar to what I’d chosen for my grandma’s celebration of life 11 years ago. Back then, I wore a light gray A-line sleeveless dress and a light paisley silk scarf.</p> <p>Today I chose a crepe navy sheath (Eliza J) with a ruffled panel on the front, which I originally wore last year at my sister’s wedding, and rolled an oversized colorful geometric square scarf diagonally into an oblong scarf shape. (The scarf was strategic as it was hot today, but often quite cool with air conditioning indoors.) I wore pale gold flat mules, a tiny aqua pendant necklace, and carried a pale gold clutch. Hair worn pinned back into a short ponytail, because that’s the way it was when we learned about our date mixup. </p>
