All of these are fantastic. I really love the simple outfit in 2, where the top and the booties and perfectly fitting jeans are so chic together. Your self-made dress looks great, too! Nice job. And great to see what you ended up wearing to the graduation--it's just right!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-overdue-some-recent-wiws#post-1497318 Wed, 27 May 2015 17:38:42 +0000 texstyle 1497318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really great outfits all around Karie - I love pants so #1 and 2 are fab to me but you rock your dresses and skirts too. Can't wait to see if your style changes with the big closet edit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-overdue-some-recent-wiws#post-1497293 Wed, 27 May 2015 16:48:10 +0000 abc 1497293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty, the entire lot. &nbsp;But I especially love #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-overdue-some-recent-wiws#post-1497284 Wed, 27 May 2015 16:29:25 +0000 Suz 1497284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing, Karen. In fact, you have never looked better. The longer, darker hair is just gorgeous on you. My favourite outfit is #1, but the others are equally fab. #2 is super.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am also very eager to hear about your closet edit. Curious to know where you will go next.&nbsp;</p> <p>P.S. I think I am keeping the Breeze sandals. I still have heard no word on the Eccos (haven't received them) and I am getting truly sick of waiting. So what the heck.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-overdue-some-recent-wiws#post-1497268 Wed, 27 May 2015 16:13:01 +0000 Karie 1497268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! </p> <p>No Fear of Fashion, I actually am doing something a little more daring with my next haircut in a few weeks. I will be going shorter!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-overdue-some-recent-wiws#post-1497262 Wed, 27 May 2015 16:03:26 +0000 Karin L H 1497262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them all, you look really really great! Love the bomber jacket in #5, and I'm really impressed with you self made dresses! Such skills. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-overdue-some-recent-wiws#post-1497226 Wed, 27 May 2015 15:04:09 +0000 MsMary 1497226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness! These are great!! Your shoes are wowing me in each and every pic! I love them all but my very fave is no. 7. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-overdue-some-recent-wiws#post-1497220 Wed, 27 May 2015 14:53:02 +0000 No Fear of Fashion 1497220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these outfits. You have a very versatile style. Love the fact that you are not afraid to wear contemporary, modern shoes with dresses. I am still quick chicken in that area and choose pumps most of the time. And often such a modern shoe can uplift an outfit, as you are showing.<br />Being a jacket lover, I love outfit number 1, but that isn't really fair on the other outfits. If I may suggest something? You have gorgeous hair, you can do anything with it, how about a dare devil modern style? (This is the envious me speaking. I can only do my hair the way I have it as it is thin and there is not a lot of it. Otherwise I would have an insane hairstyle.)<br />Greetje </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-overdue-some-recent-wiws#post-1495379 Sat, 23 May 2015 15:14:35 +0000 Angie 1495379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aren't you rocking your look, Karie. I love the longer and darker hair. Extra chic. #1, 3 and 7 are killer. </p> <p>Good job on the closet edit too.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-overdue-some-recent-wiws#post-1495367 Sat, 23 May 2015 14:43:21 +0000 Janet 1495367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I especially love #1, but you look great in all of these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-overdue-some-recent-wiws#post-1495358 Sat, 23 May 2015 14:23:17 +0000 jackiec 1495358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love seeing a bunch of your WIWs together! Yay for the closet purge! Good for you! Love seeing your Trina's, aren't they so versatile? And now I really want those VC cage sandals (in brown) after seeing how gorgeous they look on your foot. You are very well out together, always :)!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-overdue-some-recent-wiws#post-1495352 Sat, 23 May 2015 13:59:22 +0000 Karie 1495352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your input, Lun67. I'm not much of a 'statement necklace' gal (mostly because they get in the way with my work lanyard) and I always struggle with them.</p> <p>Staysfit, the closet clean out is huge - I don't know where I ever put all those clothes! RIght now they're in bags in the basement waiting to go to Goodwill. Most are ill-fitting items (I lost about 2 inches off my hips just by cutting back on carbs and gluten). I've been trying to be very picky about new purchases.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-overdue-some-recent-wiws#post-1495348 Sat, 23 May 2015 13:34:55 +0000 lyn67 1495348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, all gorgeous! I love the bl&amp;whites, or high contrast outfits the best, and that bl. dress is beautiful with the ankle shoes! For a matter I would think&nbsp;nr 3 more modern looking&nbsp; without the statement necklace, but&nbsp;this is not a general&nbsp;prefference, ex in nr 4 I would leave the longer necklace in place, as it is! So, questioning my own words..:-) </p> <p>ETA I like the coral dress, too:-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-overdue-some-recent-wiws#post-1495345 Sat, 23 May 2015 13:15:16 +0000 Staysfit 1495345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All look so Fab! Looking forward to hearing about your closet clean out and purge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-overdue-some-recent-wiws#post-1495342 Sat, 23 May 2015 12:48:45 +0000 dakotacheryl 1495342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic !! &nbsp;You are like a chameleon Karie...edgy in one photo and ladylike in the next...love them all !! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-overdue-some-recent-wiws#post-1495331 Sat, 23 May 2015 12:17:29 +0000 Olivegreen 1495331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can certainly pull off bold stripes and pattern.<br /> Ankle straps are good on your legs, and number four really shows them off. That cage sandal is VERY good for your proportions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-overdue-some-recent-wiws#post-1495322 Sat, 23 May 2015 11:58:10 +0000 Karie 1495322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Peri, thank you for the compliment but my sewing skills fall in the beginner range - I've been sewing for a long time, but I just don't do it often enough or challenge myself. I'd love to see your copy of #4!</p> <p>Thank you Donnat! I like the fabric in that dress a lot, and last month when I was in J.Crew Factory I saw one of their dresses with fabric in a similar pattern. Super fun! I put that dress in "finds" below.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-overdue-some-recent-wiws#post-1495260 Sat, 23 May 2015 02:10:44 +0000 Peri 1495260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agh!

Well done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-overdue-some-recent-wiws#post-1495249 Sat, 23 May 2015 01:28:42 +0000 Karie 1495249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carole, I love the silver Trinia's - they go with everything and are super comfortable.</p> <p>Thanks, Ummlila!
