You really know how to work pattern and color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/under-the-sea-coral-and-aqua#post-620294 Tue, 15 May 2012 15:15:00 +0000 Kari 620294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! I'm presently resisting the urge to pull out that coral dress every day and am limiting myself to wearing it weekly. I get kind of obsessed with new items! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/under-the-sea-coral-and-aqua#post-620285 Tue, 15 May 2012 15:03:33 +0000 Anonymous 620285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are SUCH a sharp dresser Kari! I love the color combo inspired by the sea. And those are yummy new pumps! I love the cut of the emerald dress as well, super chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/under-the-sea-coral-and-aqua#post-620246 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:33:24 +0000 Tanya 620246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful, Kari. That coral wrap dress was made for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/under-the-sea-coral-and-aqua#post-620242 Tue, 15 May 2012 14:30:50 +0000 Angie 620242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So gorgeous, Kari! Love the frock with the retro pumps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/under-the-sea-coral-and-aqua#post-620211 Tue, 15 May 2012 13:08:20 +0000 Astrid 620211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful, despite your allergies! I totally get dressing for a place you'd rather be. I love the different greens in the second outfit with the turquoise. And of course coral and turquoise is just the perfect color combo, for #1! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/under-the-sea-coral-and-aqua#post-620197 Tue, 15 May 2012 12:51:36 +0000 celia 620197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no, allergies are awful,sorry to hear that pollen has been getting to you.<br /> I really really like that new coral wrap dress, you have a gift to find beautiful colors that suit you, and matching it with those shoes was a brilliant idea.<br /> Funny that you and B. chose the same color, in my house it usually happens with blues.<br /> Hope you feel better soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/under-the-sea-coral-and-aqua#post-620082 Tue, 15 May 2012 05:44:15 +0000 Kirti 620082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great combo, I will probably copy it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/under-the-sea-coral-and-aqua#post-620042 Tue, 15 May 2012 04:03:25 +0000 ManidipaM 620042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look super and summery in the coral and turquoise, and I love you even more in that green mock dress, but hope you feel in the pink of health soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/under-the-sea-coral-and-aqua#post-620035 Tue, 15 May 2012 03:48:09 +0000 goldenpig 620035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Coral and turquoise is one of my very favorite color combinations right now and you look exquisite in that dress! I love how everything ties together--the coral print on the dress, the driftwood on the cami, the aqua pumps--so fab! One of my very favorite outfits on you! And you and B look so cute together all decked out in green! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/under-the-sea-coral-and-aqua#post-620012 Tue, 15 May 2012 02:44:44 +0000 Kari 620012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jem and Christieanne, I hope that you find them comfortable if you are trying them!</p> <p>The purple pair is a lovely color too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/under-the-sea-coral-and-aqua#post-620011 Tue, 15 May 2012 02:43:29 +0000 Jem 620011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are great outfits Kari! I'm really happy to see those shoes on you, because I've been considering the purple ones for quite awhile! I like the lower chunky heel, I think they are so cute! I love the green on you, it's such a great color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/under-the-sea-coral-and-aqua#post-620007 Tue, 15 May 2012 02:40:48 +0000 Sveta 620007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Coral and aqua are so cheerful together. I just love how these shoes play against the coral and white dress, Kari.<br /> BTW, I wore the same color flats today too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/under-the-sea-coral-and-aqua#post-620003 Tue, 15 May 2012 02:33:50 +0000 modgrl 620003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally delightful outfits!! I love that coral dress with the green shoes. Wonderful!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/under-the-sea-coral-and-aqua#post-620002 Tue, 15 May 2012 02:33:07 +0000 Kari 620002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, sorry to hear that you and your husband have been suffering too. It's horrible! All week the levels around here are medium-high, except Wednesday, which is forecasted to be extremely high.</p> <p>I can take Benadryl, but only at night - it puts me to sleep quite quickly because it combines with my sleeping meds and makes me super drowsy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/under-the-sea-coral-and-aqua#post-619998 Tue, 15 May 2012 02:29:13 +0000 Kari 619998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, I was thinking that too looking at the pics. When I was looking down, my... erm, camisole area, is pretty prominent so the turquoise beading stood out. I do think the beads looked more noticeable in person than they did in the pictures. However, I agree that it's a little bare on top and that next time I'd probably add a small turquoise necklace, peacock feather earrings, or something to mirror that shade. Good eye!</p> <p>(I often keep the top half simpler these days because I wear a lanyard at work... my nice, thin, unobtrusive beaded lanyard snapped, so I have a big, thick black ribbon now.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/under-the-sea-coral-and-aqua#post-619996 Tue, 15 May 2012 02:23:19 +0000 Amy 619996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great shoes! I like how you've paired them with those dresses. I'd love to see the same color mirrored up top in the coral dress outfit though, either with a necklace or perhaps your cami? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/under-the-sea-coral-and-aqua#post-619973 Tue, 15 May 2012 01:42:18 +0000 MsMary 619973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the coral and turquoise combo! You do patterned dresses like nobody else, Kari!!</p> <p>I also love the not-quite-matching greens in the second outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/under-the-sea-coral-and-aqua#post-619956 Tue, 15 May 2012 01:26:41 +0000 Jaime 619956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great shoe find. You look fab in both pictures. Great picture of you and B too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/under-the-sea-coral-and-aqua#post-619955 Tue, 15 May 2012 01:26:40 +0000 christieanne 619955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore coral and turquoise yesterday - not nearly in this chic a manner though. I like the dress - it has that pretty coral branch look in a way. And green is so good on you (and BF). </p> <p>Shoes are a perfect low heel - I am wish listing those. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/under-the-sea-coral-and-aqua#post-619952 Tue, 15 May 2012 01:23:42 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 619952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the green on green. The skirt is a silhouette that you don't usually wear and it is very pretty as an alternative to the more fitted look. </p> <p>You and B look really cute together. He's a good sport for joining the fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/under-the-sea-coral-and-aqua#post-619945 Tue, 15 May 2012 01:17:57 +0000 Transcona Shannon 619945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the shoes with both of these outfits - they are such a great colour and a fun shape. I know I said it before, but my goodness Kari, you look STUNNING in that coral dress. It may be my favourite item of yours that I've seen - just beautiful.</p> <p>And you and B are fab together in your various shades of green! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/under-the-sea-coral-and-aqua#post-619942 Tue, 15 May 2012 01:14:47 +0000 Aida 619942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The aqua looks fabulous with the coral, and also with the emerald! Antje's Fluevogs were pretty awesome, I'll vouch for that I like the cute floral lining of yours! I think these will go with, like, ALL of the spicy colors you're in the mood for.</p> <p>(I hear you on the allergies, hubby and I have been SO VERY miserable this week &gt;&lt; ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/under-the-sea-coral-and-aqua#post-619937 Tue, 15 May 2012 01:13:06 +0000 K. Period. 619937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the combo of the coral and the emerald. It really does look warm and Caribbean inspired! Lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/under-the-sea-coral-and-aqua#post-619934 Tue, 15 May 2012 01:09:47 +0000 Kari 619934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I chose to pull out a very "oceanic" outfit today - the coral and white wrap dress is in a print that reminds me of coral to begin with, aqua/turquoise shoes, and a camisole with sewn-on beaded details that have always reminded me of beach glass and driftwood.</p> <p>In retrospect I suppose it was a subliminal message that, on a day that *just about* broke 80 degrees, I would rather be lying on a beach - or my porch, even - than stay in an office all day!</p> <p>Unfortunately the gorgeous weather comes with a major downside for me. I'm quite allergic to some kind of tree pollen, and our pollen counts are massively high this week. Nasonex is tamping down the congestion, thankfully, but I have a perpetual cough and stinging, itchy eyes. My state is fighting a whooping cough epidemic right now, and I feel like I should add a tasteful badge to my outfit to avoid making people panic: "This is an allergy attack; I got my pertussis vaccine 6 months ago."</p> <p>YLF members that attended the <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2012/05/10/dressing-fun-at-the-ylf-seattle-swap/">Seattle clothing swap</a> probably know that I was absolutely crazy over Antje's aqua Fluevog pumps, because I'd been looking for some of my own for a while. Miz Mooz has some pretty shoes in this shade, but generally the heels were a bit higher than I'd been hoping for - not to mention the prices. </p> <p>I was pleased to find this simple, low-vamped, low-and-chunky-heeled BC pump instead (a much less expensive option.) <a href="http://www.zappos.com/bc-footwear-thatll-be-the-day-emerald" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/bc-footw.....ay-emerald</a><br /> They are *generally* comfortable; a great shape for my arch and incredibly stable. There is one inside seam that's a little harder than I'd prefer, but a thin layer of moleskin should clear up that problem. Maybe not the shoes I'd bring to traipse all over the city in, but perfectly comfortable for walking around.<br /> I need a simple black pump in a low heel for a wedding in a few months, so I'm thinking about duplicating.</p> <p>I wore the shoes this weekend as well on Mother's Day with a turquoise beaded necklace, kelly green knit shell, and emerald skirt that was a reasonably close color match. B. and I visited each of our parents and had a lovely day spending time with our moms. He laughed when we saw that we'd more or less matched each other by going all out in green! </p>
