Maybe you can convince her to join YouLookFab too. </p> <p>Lena, thank you. I am feel VERY fortunate that pencil skirts are in style and so easy to find right now. For years I felt like I didn't know how to dress to flatter my figure at all - that is wonderful to hear that it's begun to click. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/v-neck-challenge-kari#post-123545 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 06:25:03 +0000 Lena 123545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really can't pick a favorite outfit, Kari, I like them all! I love how you combine color, shape and accessories to flatter your shape and coloring. And you look killer in pencil skirts, no wonder you're addicted ;-)</p> <p>Hee, and now I'm getting a craving for that shade of green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/v-neck-challenge-kari#post-123498 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 01:27:39 +0000 Maya 123498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You totally have a twin Kari. Her name is even similar to yours, which is why I think I keep making the slip up! But she has your taste in clothing and your body type, and a whole assortment of cute shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/v-neck-challenge-kari#post-123228 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 04:58:26 +0000 Kari 123228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Taylor, Rute, Louise, Tricia, Angie, Vani, Marianna, Carole, AJ, Kristine, Kim, and Maya!</p> <p>You know, I thought Angie's idea of a pussycat bow blouse with a v-neck sewater sounded cute and felt inspired to try this one, but I think this is more of a button-down shirt that happens to tie at the neck, not a soft blouse. It's been a while since I wore it (since summer, I think), and never thought to pair it with a button-down sweater. Now I have more options!</p> <p>Taylor, you are so sweet - I am blushing.</p> <p>Angie, that is music to my ears - I guess marathon-viewing seasons 1 and 2 of Mad Men over the weekend have influenced me a bit.</p> <p>Kristine, I think I'm a bit addicted to pencil skirts now. Maybe my next challenge should be revisiting pants for a change!</p> <p>Kim, you're so welcome - I'm grateful to you for proposing the challenge to get us thinking how we can make our sweaters more useful! Thanks to you, I've been very cozy and warm this week.</p> <p>Maya, how funny! I didn't realize that I had an east coast twin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/v-neck-challenge-kari#post-123209 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 04:12:59 +0000 Maya 123209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a teal pussycat bow blouse! I'm stealing it! That's my FAVORITE.</p> <p>You have everything going on here: color, pattern, texture, contrast. And it all works fabulously well!</p> <p>BTW, there is a girl at work who I called "Kari" twice because she reminds me so much of you. It's funny when worlds collide... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/v-neck-challenge-kari#post-123181 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 03:19:23 +0000 Queen Mum 123181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari- you do a great job of coordinating colors!

I still had a blast revisiting old, colorful V-necks that are still in good condition. I think I'll actually incorporate this look into my business casual rotation because I tend to get chilly at work, and I LOVE the way I can layer them over woven button-downs for added warmth and crispness.</p> <p>Two years ago I wore V-neck sweaters a lot with dress slacks to work, typically like <a href="http://karip.smugmug.com/photos/252963509_So6E9-M.jpgl">this</a>.</p> <p>Here's how I wore the look this week:<br /> <a href="http://inkariswardrobe.blogspot.com/2010/02/v-neck-sweater-challenge-1.html">#1 - Monday</a>: Dark violet button-down shirt, black pencil skirt, bronze beaded necklace, emerald V-neck sweater, black patterned tights over gray solid hose, black booties</p> <p><a href="http://inkariswardrobe.blogspot.com/2010/02/v-neck-sweater-challenge-2-and-3.html">#2 - Tuesday and #3 - Wednesday</a>:<br /> Tuesday - denim pencil skirt, teal button-down with neck tie, purple V-neck sweater, brown tights, brown riding boots, small turquoise earrings<br /> Wednesday (what I plan to wear tomorrow): black pencil skirt, black woven top, cerulean V-neck sweater, black and white zebra-striped belt, black peeptoe pumps, white "pearl" necklace</p> <p>For the life of me, I can't figure out why I used to feel uncomfortable and fussy when I tried this look</p> <p><a href="http://inkariswardrobe.blogspot.com/2010/01/wednesday-through-friday.html">Bonus</a>: This was before the challenge was issued and wasn't an actual V-neck sweater, but as a plain, solid sweater I still feel like it captures the intent of the challenge.<br /> Teal scoop-neck sweater, red floral patterned scarf, black pencil skirt, black mesh hose, black moto boots, denim moto jacket </p>
