Lovely dress in terms of style and proportions, and the 'eggplant curry' colours compliment you beautifully. The turquoise then adds that extra bit of fun and polish. Say hello to pretty ol' Shadow. Kari on "Purple and orange, and a black and white dog" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-and-orange-and-a-black-and-white-dog#post-637058 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 04:08:30 +0000 Kari 637058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Good wise advice. I'm not very patient about waiting to get well, I'm afraid. But I'm too tired to do too much. I did manage to hike (a short one) for a few hours last weekend before the sinus issues kicked in, and today walked abound Greenlake (about 2.5 miles) with my sister, so I'm moving a little bit at least. christieanne on "Purple and orange, and a black and white dog" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-and-orange-and-a-black-and-white-dog#post-637036 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 03:41:51 +0000 christieanne 637036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look so incredibly put together for a dog walking/watching Sunday especially when you aren't 100% well. The spicy tones are really coming together. Don't overdo it so you rebound from this quickly. Kari on "Purple and orange, and a black and white dog" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-and-orange-and-a-black-and-white-dog#post-637028 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 03:34:57 +0000 Kari 637028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Christy, this late afternoon at least was a little nice- wore this dress (without an over layer, but with a cardi squirreled away in my purse) to walk around Greenlake with my sister. Beth Ann, I totally hear you on the allergy front. I think perhaps singers and wind musicians are especially conscious of it! When I learned the flute I was trained how to make use of my full lung capacity. When I have a respiratory illness and can't use my lungs 100%, I feel out of breath even if I'm taking in enough air to be sufficient. Right now I feel like I'm at 90% when resting and 70-80% when walking fast or hiking for a long period of time, and it's irritating! Thanks, Angie! I'm not totally doing justice to my new cut yet-haven't been feeling well to do anything more than let it air dry-but it's an easy cut and looks much better when styled. Thanks for the recommendation (and referral discount too) for the salon!

You are my dress-piration! I am glad to hear you're on the mend. As a singer, I've gotten really well acquainted with all the havoc a little allergy can cause. I should have invested in Mucinex! Shadow looks like a beautiful and faithful companion! christy on "Purple and orange, and a black and white dog" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-and-orange-and-a-black-and-white-dog#post-636754 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 23:31:35 +0000 christy 636754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Kari, you look so pretty in this purple! It would never occur to me to pair purple and pumpkin. Of course, I'm hardly creative in my use of color! I must admit that I love the dress best on its own in the second set of pictures, but Seattle weather isn't exactly cooperating for sleeveless dressing, is it? Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better.

It took a while for me to feel comfortable wearing bold purple and gold without looking too much like I was trying to dress in my high school colors... I guess growing up being in marching band does that to a girl. But it's a great way to incorporate my favorite "spicy" colors.

The pumpkin cardi also is very flattering. I hope you are feeling better now. Sinus problems are definitely no fun. Cute doggy too! Kari on "Purple and orange, and a black and white dog" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-and-orange-and-a-black-and-white-dog#post-636453 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 19:14:40 +0000 Kari 636453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, Kyle. It took years of practice, trial and error before I felt comfortable in bold color pairings! Several years ago I even balked at pairing multiple neutrals together. I'm starting to feel a touch better. Less pressure in my sinuses, thank goodness! Kyle on "Purple and orange, and a black and white dog" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-and-orange-and-a-black-and-white-dog#post-636438 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 19:04:09 +0000 Kyle 636438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the way you experiment with color and it feels so natural. I feel a bit stilted when I try bold combos like you do. I hope you feel, or start feeling, as great as you look, Kari. Kari on "Purple and orange, and a black and white dog" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-and-orange-and-a-black-and-white-dog#post-636435 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 19:02:11 +0000 Kari 636435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ B. and I had a short weekend away pet-sitting Shadow, my family's much-adored Sheltie. As a very old dog (nearing 14) she's easy to watch; she just is a little clingy and likes to have people home and within view. While she gets excited when I come over, she absolutely adores B., who is a total dog magnet. While B. was out with friends (I was feeling too ill to go out), Shadow and I attempted to take photos together but it didn't quite work out. We had fun trying until it started sprinkling, and then we retreated indoors to curl up with some popcorn. Outfit: purple hi-low hem Grecian style sleeveless dress, pumpkin colored boyfriend cardigan, aqua pumps, turquoise beaded necklace, brown braided belt.
