These and my NYDJ ponte pair are the best I've found -at least, for my body. </p> <p>Cjh, had not thought of that. Thanks for the brilliant idea!</p> <p>Vicki, so true!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-blue-period-or-turquoise-to-be-specific#post-680980 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 23:37:40 +0000 Vicki 680980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pairing of your beautiful turquoise blouse with the black pants is stunning and elegant, Kari, and I can see why you were showered with compliments. The filagree pendant is so pretty and I also love the way your glasses play off of the color of your blouse. Both outfits are so pretty and the scarf-knotting blog is amazing (I even found a chocolate cake recipe there, for her DS's birthday party, as I did a quick look. Learning how to tie a scarf in different ways and eating dessert are things to enjoy over and over again!). ^_^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-blue-period-or-turquoise-to-be-specific#post-680951 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 22:49:32 +0000 cjh 680951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful combo of the red/white dress and green/blue scarf! Pattern mixing and color contrast expert you are.</p> <p>Have you thought about pairing the scarf with the turqoise top in #1 (which is another fab outfit, by the way.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-blue-period-or-turquoise-to-be-specific#post-680948 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 22:45:57 +0000 Deborah 680948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari you look awesome in these pants. I'm a tad envious as my ponte skinny pants read more like leggings( I hope to see. I hope to see more pants combinations from you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-blue-period-or-turquoise-to-be-specific#post-680793 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 18:47:07 +0000 Kari 680793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, I'll certainly try it that way again (but it was much too warm to wear a jacket last week!) It was fun, though, to try a very unstructured silhouette because I do so very rarely.</p> <p>Marley, the glasses do match - they are burgundy frames with turquoise on the inside. I was in a "matchy" mood.</p> <p>JR, her tutorials are so easy to follow and are very clean and beautiful. I can't believe I never stumbled across her site before! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-blue-period-or-turquoise-to-be-specific#post-680304 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 17:27:29 +0000 Kirti 680304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in both outfits and it is awesome to see you in pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-blue-period-or-turquoise-to-be-specific#post-680285 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 16:33:48 +0000 JR 680285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, that first outfit must be worn again. And again.</p> <p>MaiTai's blog is great for scarf-folding, isn't it? I ran into it a while back and still go back for pointers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-blue-period-or-turquoise-to-be-specific#post-680253 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 15:20:50 +0000 Queen Mum 680253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful in that pants outfit Kari! Just stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-blue-period-or-turquoise-to-be-specific#post-680251 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 15:19:12 +0000 Scarlet 680251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, you always look so good. It is really impressive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-blue-period-or-turquoise-to-be-specific#post-680234 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 14:47:23 +0000 christy 680234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, how fun to see you in pants! That's a terrific outfit - love that blouse, it's such a pretty color for you. Oohh...pretty Kate Spade scarf - LOVE it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-blue-period-or-turquoise-to-be-specific#post-680232 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 14:43:54 +0000 Parsley 680232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, you look FANTASTIC in that pants outfit! You need to wear pants more often!!<br /> That turquoise is beautiful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-blue-period-or-turquoise-to-be-specific#post-680088 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 03:30:24 +0000 Marley 680088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Kari - your pics just brought a smile to my face! That turquoise top is so pretty on you - and does it match your glasses???? Wow! Also, love the dress and the scarf - such a happy, happy combination - and thank you to that link to the website on scarf tying - I'm going to have to spend sometime over there studying those videos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-blue-period-or-turquoise-to-be-specific#post-680075 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 02:35:45 +0000 Lyn D. 680075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay Kari, you always look so fab in your dresses, but I love you in pants too!<br /> Would love to see this outfit with a structured jacket or belt on top to break-up the long blouse. (B.T.W. As a jeans/pants girl, your dress outfits have inspired me to wear dresses more often.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-blue-period-or-turquoise-to-be-specific#post-680065 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 02:11:29 +0000 Kari 680065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Shannon! I'll try to wear them more often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-blue-period-or-turquoise-to-be-specific#post-680049 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 01:59:06 +0000 Transcona Shannon 680049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those ponte skinnies are gorgeous on you Kari - I love them with that beautiful turquoise blouse - absolutely stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-blue-period-or-turquoise-to-be-specific#post-679962 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 00:52:06 +0000 Kari 679962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, they are Jag ponte skinnies, very high in the rise and with a zip fly and pockets, that I got on clearance at Nordstrom this winter. I've worn them often under sweater dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-blue-period-or-turquoise-to-be-specific#post-679957 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 00:48:36 +0000 Angie 679957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE YOU IN THOSE PANTS! What style are they, Kari? </p> <p>Outfit #1 is KILLER. No wonder you received so much positive feedback </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-blue-period-or-turquoise-to-be-specific#post-679943 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 00:37:11 +0000 Kari 679943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chrizzle, if you're thinking about the blouse, I can't recommend it highly enough. </p> <p>The only downside is that the fabric, though not totally sheer, in thin enough that I need to wear a camisole under it, which I don't mind doing. </p> <p>It is just an all out beautiful piece. My heart flutters a little when I put it on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-blue-period-or-turquoise-to-be-specific#post-679937 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 00:33:42 +0000 Chrizzle 679937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, Kari! Never again say that you don't look good in pants! </p> <p>I got a couple pairs of basic black pants from NAS that I'm not sure I love, and now I'm seriously considering returning one of them and getting that Bellatrix blouse. A good friend who works in Nordstrom's corporate headquarters has the blouse and recommended it for me without knowing I'd already been admiring it because of YLF and you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-blue-period-or-turquoise-to-be-specific#post-679932 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 00:27:31 +0000 Anonymous 679932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks, and I love how your eyeglasses play up the colors in the outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-blue-period-or-turquoise-to-be-specific#post-679930 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 00:12:24 +0000 Kari 679930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Isis. That is very kind! I'm glad that these work because wearing a scarf tied this close to the neck, and wearing a floaty boxy blouse, change up and challenge the proportions that I'm more comfortable with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-blue-period-or-turquoise-to-be-specific#post-679925 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 00:03:22 +0000 Isis 679925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in pants!</p> <p>Love all these outfits, Kari, you have such a developed sense of style and proportion.....YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-blue-period-or-turquoise-to-be-specific#post-679922 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 00:00:50 +0000 Kari 679922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For the last part of the week I laid off of the animal print and neutrals, and embraced brights and turquoise instead. </p> <p>#1-4: OMG Pants!<br /> So I can wear outfits incorporating <a href="http://pencilskirtlife.lookfab.com/post/where-the-wild-things-are">hectic pattern mixing</a> and no one blinks an eye, but I wear pants and EVERYONE comments! (B. included.)<br /> Actually, I got a lot of unsolicited positive feedback on this outfit. A couple colleagues encouraged me to wear this again.<br /> I'm not sure that the photos capture just how fab this Bellatrix turquoise floral-patterned blouse actually is - the fabric is *so* soft and floaty, and it drapes particularly beautiful when you're in motion. And this is by far my favorite type of neckline on a blouse. Worn here with black ponte knit skinnies, low turquoise pumps, and a large silver pendant necklace.<br /> And yes, the hanger strap that I forgot to cut off is sticking out of the neckline, but I swear I corrected it before heading to work.</p> <p>#5-8: Cowgirl scarf and wrap dress<br /> I have to give SO many props to forum member La Francaise for providing me a link to <a href="http://scarfrings.blogspot.com">MaiTai's blog</a> with her excellent scarf-knotting tips. I especially love this <a href="http://www.maitaispicturebook.com/2011/01/cowboy-criss-cross-knot-how-to.html">cowboy criss-cross knot</a> tutorial. This scarf tying technique would look smart over a button-down shirt or turtleneck, sure, but given that it's summer I decided to try it with a light patterned wrap dress instead and indulge my pattern-and-color-mixing obsession.<br /> This is the relatively new Kate Spade patterned silk scarf bought on clearance, red and white coral-patterned Tahari wrap dress, and the same turquoise pumps as in the previous outfit. </p>
