Your pattern/texture mixing is a very pleasing optical illusion. Nicely done. I dig that sweet little necklace! Adorable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-white-and-blue-beachcomber-inspired#post-661916 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 20:51:29 +0000 Meredith1953 661916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the cute ruffle detail on the LBD! It looks terrific teamed with the cardi and pops of color from the necklace and handbag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-white-and-blue-beachcomber-inspired#post-661863 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 19:34:22 +0000 Lisa 661863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely! I really like how the sandals tie in the ruffles on the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-white-and-blue-beachcomber-inspired#post-661746 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 17:51:18 +0000 cheryl 661746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-white-and-blue-beachcomber-inspired#post-661645 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 15:35:50 +0000 rae 661645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What fun inspiration! The outfit looks great and really does evoke some waves crashing on a coral reef. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-white-and-blue-beachcomber-inspired#post-661643 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 15:17:45 +0000 Kari 661643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Ana!</p> <p>I've only rarely (perhaps never?) used this cardigan for pattern mixing prior to this year. It was sitting in a stack of rarely worn orphan cardigans. Suddenly I cannot get enough of it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-white-and-blue-beachcomber-inspired#post-661604 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 13:59:10 +0000 Ana 661604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit is so pretty, Kari! I love how the graphic ruffles on the dress echo the pattern on the cardigan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-white-and-blue-beachcomber-inspired#post-661595 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 13:40:01 +0000 Kari 661595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Merwoman, I'm going to remember that. This is one of the nicest compliments I've ever received about my personal style. Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-white-and-blue-beachcomber-inspired#post-661589 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 13:30:53 +0000 merwoman 661589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning as always Kari!

I like how you've put your own spin on red, white, and blue. Have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-white-and-blue-beachcomber-inspired#post-661301 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 22:28:29 +0000 Alecia 661301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice, Kari. That necklace was really a great purchase. I think you'll wear it all the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-white-and-blue-beachcomber-inspired#post-661294 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 22:16:42 +0000 Kari 661294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! I was surprised to like this dress so much last summer. I was very skeptical about the ruffles, but they are placed just right and the way the fabric drapes from the bodice section is really flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-white-and-blue-beachcomber-inspired#post-661287 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 22:02:57 +0000 krishnidoux 661287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy fourth of July Kari!

(But keep it over there for the rest of the day if you can!)</p> <p>Our weather usually gets nice the weekend *after* the 4th of July. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-white-and-blue-beachcomber-inspired#post-661207 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 20:53:09 +0000 Anonymous 661207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I LOVE Sabrina! You look amazing. This is a fresh and breezy outfit and your take on red, white and blue is so sophisticated. I LOVE your new necklace!</p> <p>I'm glad you are having a sunny fourth. Believe it or not, we got *your* weather here. It has been cool, cloudy and actually raining cats and dogs all day, believe it or not. And this NEVER happens on the fourth of July here either, lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-white-and-blue-beachcomber-inspired#post-661193 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 20:43:28 +0000 Tanya 661193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful outfit Kari! Have lots of fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-white-and-blue-beachcomber-inspired#post-661190 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 20:42:12 +0000 Kari 661190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now I would never wear this exact outfit on the beach, but being that it's a rare, genuinely sunny 4th of July (seriously, you have no idea how often we get rained out every year!) and yet the holiday occurred in the middle of the week, I had beaches on my brain. The white ruffled lace on this cozy Karen Kane knit dress always reminds me of the caps of waves, and the bone-colored patent sandals make me think of seashells.</p> <p>But the dress is black, so I thought I'd add some bold red and blue colors to brighten it up.</p> <p>Of course, I wanted to wear my new faux-coral necklace. That, plus my freshly dyed hair (brighter than how it appears on my covered porch) and a bold red lip, takes care of red. My cobalt Kate Spade bag covered the blue contingent. Just because there's a chance we may still be outside when it cools down at night, I'm carrying my black and white graphic floral print cardigan that I've fallen in love with all over again this year.</p> <p>My red shades would have been the perfect finishing touch, but alas they went MIA on my Las Vegas trip in December. They were ridiculously inexpensive, though. Supposedly Seattlites buy the most sunglasses in the nation - we so rarely need to wear them that it's easy to lose them in between our lovely but very short summers!</p> <p>B. and I have been lounging around at home today, doing laundry and watching Sabrina, but we'll soon be en route to a barbecue with our friends. B. has decided to inaugurate his <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/mugs/e9d8/">beer boot</a> that I got him for Christmas, and supposedly there's some karaoke in store, so it should be a fun night. </p>
