Each of those pieces is fabulously beautiful on its own --- lace top, striped full skirt, citron bag and red shoes --- but it's the combination of all four that is so outstandingly awesome! Ana, this was a joy to see.</p> <p>And such fun to realize that both you and Kari went the same mixing way, with opposite seasonal results! Brilliance times two on YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-kari/page/2#post-593145 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 06:23:27 +0000 goldenpig 593145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you look smashing! I could totally see you in a Kate Spade catalog. The black lace, striped skirt, red shoes and yellow bag combo is just genius! And lovely interpretation of Kari's cool look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-kari/page/2#post-593050 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 03:26:08 +0000 Ana 593050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Kari! I loved your outfit and I thought the genius was how you managed to take something that is usually considered summery like a striped skirt and interpret it for cold weather with a darker handbag and a black, long-sleeved shirt. You looked fabulous, and I always look forward to your WIW posts. : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-kari#post-593047 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 03:24:41 +0000 Kari 593047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh, Ana, I am so flattered. And WOW, you blew me away with your interpretation! I love the lacy shell, and the pattern mixing is incredible. It's also fun to see a very warm weather interpretation of a look that I wore on a cold day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-kari#post-593034 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 03:14:36 +0000 Ana 593034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Phew! I'm finally home from running around and I'm just catching up with the comments. Thank you all SO MUCH for your lovely comments and words of praise. You guys are wonderful. I really appreciate everyone's comments!</p> <p>Shannon--Parisian Nautical. I love that!</p> <p>Julie, thank you so much! That's such a compliment and I'm so glad that my posts are giving you ideas for your own outfits! </p> <p>CitygirlDC, I think you would look great in an outfit like this! I think you and I have a similar casual style. Feel free to copy away! : )</p> <p>Jonesey, Kellygirl, San and Vicki, thank you so much! Reading over your comments I am smiling big and blushing a lot. : D I am trying to post more outfit photos as a goal to keep me dressing nicely as the weather heats up (it gets really tough). I think I will try to post 2-4 outfits a week. Depends on whether I can get DH to take photos (if he has time before work). : )</p> <p>Angie, thank you for the K rating! And all caps too. Wow! </p> <p>Claire--yes, it does meet the requirements!! I was so excited! Actually, there's an old story behind this top. I saw the same style/same designer on super sale at Saks about 3 or 4 years ago. I instantly fell in love with it, but it was made out of a pearly pink silk with a pale nude lace overlay. Gorgeous, but just the worst colors on me. Maybe only pale lavender tops those. I was so sad! So of course I dragged TX Sarah there and convinced her to buy it (okay, I didn't have to convince her that much, hee hee). So now I can admire it on someone else! : ) <a href="http://www.thedailysophisticate.com/2012/04/spring-leather-part-two.html">Here's a link</a> to her wearing it this week and she looks amazing! Anyway, when I saw this same style top at the Rack this week (but in cotton) I was ALL OVER IT. There was a woman there eyeing the rack and I was like, "Keep walking lady because these are mine" (well, in my head of course). : )</p> <p>Anyway, the lining is sewn in and it is woven cotton, and the lining also has straps so if I wear a same color bra, you can't even really tell. The lace is cotton/nylon blend, and I think I may be able to hand wash the top instead of having it dry cleaned. So I ended up buying it in black and white because I think at least one of the colors will go with pretty much everything in my closet. : D</p> <p>Thank you so much again, everybody! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-kari#post-592984 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 02:13:04 +0000 Beth Ann 592984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love to see outfits inspired by other YLFers! This is really fresh. I love the way you master this silhouette and manage to look both polished and easy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-kari#post-592960 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 01:44:15 +0000 HelloKitty 592960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG.

I love the full skirt and pumps on you. Superb little top, too, does it meet your summer requirements? It looks like it does. Just wondering if it has it's own cami. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-kari#post-592896 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 00:31:49 +0000 Jaime 592896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the red shoes with the yellow bag!

You all are wonderful! I will post more in depth later tonight. </p> <p>Thank you! : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-kari#post-592807 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 21:16:04 +0000 qfbrenda 592807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! I love the splashes of red and yellow against the simple black and white. I'm a huge black and white fan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-kari#post-592799 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 21:05:01 +0000 san 592799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You and Kari both make the nautical stripes look so 2012. The black lace with the stripes is unexpected and very pleasing to the eye. You really have beautiful legs and should show them off every chance you get. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-kari#post-592790 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 20:49:12 +0000 cciele 592790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great interpretation of Kari's outfit! Love the splashes of color from the shoes and bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-kari#post-592786 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 20:47:30 +0000 Vicki 592786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Ana, how many times can I tell you I love your style! As Shannon said so cleverly, it's "Parisian Nautical." Each element is a love fest and I also love the way you play with your bag and shoe colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-kari#post-592785 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 20:46:38 +0000 Jonesy 592785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous look (Kari's was gorgeous too!). Ana, I am so glad you are posting more--I just adore your style! You have a lot of flair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-kari#post-592782 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 20:35:58 +0000 MsMary 592782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super fab! You and Kari are both rocking it!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-kari#post-592777 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 20:24:18 +0000 citygirldc 592777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your style. I'm have to do something like that with my bw chevron skirt. And maybe find a yellow bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-kari#post-592708 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 19:08:44 +0000 christieanne 592708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely fantastic! The bag and shoes spark things up but I love the detail on blouse. Daytime lace gets me every time </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-kari#post-592695 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 19:02:29 +0000 Anonymous 592695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So adorable!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-kari#post-592682 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 18:47:12 +0000 RoseandJoan 592682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is perfect and I am learning so much from how you pair your bag and shoes. I have matchy matchy tendencies and would have opted for black shoes but the overall result would have been far less fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-kari#post-592674 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 18:33:05 +0000 velvetychocolate 592674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you - it all works beautifully! A lot of interesting texture and details, but it's not over the top in any way, just gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-kari#post-592656 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 18:16:56 +0000 HelenInCanada 592656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are Audrey Hepburn, 2012 version!
