I love the animal print blouse underneath the dress, what a great idea! The dress by itself wouldn't have been nearly as special. I love those flats on you--they do look like Angie's. They are going to be so versatile with your clothes! Another winning outfit from Kari! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-neutral-zone#post-640949 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 13:33:56 +0000 Amy 640949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Classy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-neutral-zone#post-640946 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 13:28:43 +0000 marianna 640946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab!

Love them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-neutral-zone#post-640895 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 06:49:55 +0000 christieanne 640895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those shoes are great! I am replacing all of my Swanns as well (they have served me well) and I like the two tone style of this one for you. It's a good combo of two neutrals.<br /> Nice change of pace to do some neutrals - animal print is so fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-neutral-zone#post-640852 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 04:40:29 +0000 fashionista 640852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in love with your flats both of them. I can't get my eyes off them. That tweed is so colorful and beautiful. And that beige and black is just perfect for that print. Looking lovely in the neutral palette. Love love and more love Kari </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-neutral-zone#post-640850 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 04:30:30 +0000 MNsara 640850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari - You always look so fab in your beautiful spicy colors, and now you look so fab in a neutral palette too! </p> <p>Clever you to layer under the dress! I thought it was a scarf or something, but layered means it stays in place :-)</p> <p>This sort of elegance just recommits me to exploring how to be elegant via neutrals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-neutral-zone#post-640801 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 03:16:32 +0000 rae 640801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those new flats are so pretty! Love patent in spring, and they are perfect for bookending the leopard! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-neutral-zone#post-640800 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 03:16:17 +0000 Kari 640800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christy, we REALLY do need to purposefully meet at the mall sometime, don't we? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-neutral-zone#post-640799 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 03:15:32 +0000 christy 640799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful Kari! I really like the layered top under that dress - looks terrific with the new shoes.</p> <p>We must be on the same wavelength these days - I just tried on these shoes too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-neutral-zone#post-640797 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 03:10:22 +0000 Isis 640797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks very classy.

Great combination. Beautifully done, Kari. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-neutral-zone#post-640788 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 02:59:00 +0000 Kari 640788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! I love how these shoes have just enough black to temper the beige, but still kind of function as a nude shoe for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-neutral-zone#post-640749 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 02:10:54 +0000 Jaime 640749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great - excellent choice of shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-neutral-zone#post-640722 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 01:45:59 +0000 Vicki 640722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've always admired these shoes of Angie's and you've created a beautiful neutral zone of your own with your version of the shoes. Plus, the layering of the bow blouse is so very creative and inspires me, as Jenava also mentions, to do under dresses. Very nice, Kari. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-neutral-zone#post-640708 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 01:37:58 +0000 Kari 640708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've nailed it, Jenava. I loved this dress but struggled with it until I learned how to layer more than a basic camisole underneath. Now it feels so much more versatile! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-neutral-zone#post-640689 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 01:24:45 +0000 Transcona Shannon 640689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so sophisticated Kari - love it. I love those beige/black flats - I'm wondering about something like that myself for my casual+dressy capsule (items that go be worn either way). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-neutral-zone#post-640666 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 01:07:05 +0000 Jenava 640666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love layering blouses under my dresses...mine are often sleeveless so it solves the sleeve problem but also gives a nice depth to the dress. You've capture that same sense in this outfit. the layering makes the dress extra special. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-neutral-zone#post-640659 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 01:02:25 +0000 Kari 640659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! I love it too - I will definitely wear this again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-neutral-zone#post-640656 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 01:01:15 +0000 Jenava 640656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look awesome! I love this combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-neutral-zone#post-640641 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 00:40:05 +0000 Suz 640641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sweet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-neutral-zone#post-640638 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 00:38:43 +0000 annagybe 640638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-neutral-zone#post-640637 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 00:37:05 +0000 Anonymous 640637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh those are so chic Kari! And so are you with the layered leopard blouse and black dress. Those shoes will go with so many of your dresses, too! Love the tweedy-plaid ones as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-neutral-zone#post-640629 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 00:30:08 +0000 Aida 640629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is lovely Kari! You look just as fab in neutrals, they really let your pretty skin and hair shine. Great new flats (the tweedy pair is one of my faves of yours!), and you're right they really echo the animal print nicely. I almost wore this same color combo today, but I couldn't bear to be in that much black once I saw how rainy it was Maybe tomorrow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-neutral-zone#post-640623 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 00:26:51 +0000 Kari 640623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So many of you on YouLookFab have been displaying fabulous neutral-toned outfits lately, and today I couldn't help but join the party. I recently duplicated my Me Too Kaden flats. Originally I had them in black with colorful tweed, which I love and have been wearing all winter and early Spring, and they have been so comfortable that I scooped up this beige and black pair to replace my very old <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chanel-inspired-outfit">Me Too Swann beige and black flats</a>. They also remind me a lot of the Stuart Weitzman flats that Angie is modeling here:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2011/07/08/birthday-shoes-and-lots-of-black/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2011/07/.....-of-black/</a></p> <p>I "remixed" a <a href="http://pencilskirtlife.lookfab.com/post/layering-under-a-wrap-dress">recent favorite combination</a>-a cheetah print pussycat bow shell under a black faux-wrap dress. I liked how the animal print really echoed the neutral colors in the flats. </p>
