You did your parents proud to show up for breakfast looking so sophisticated. I bet your mother is as stylish as you are. You really are always polished which is wonderful. B is a looker, what a cute couple you two are.<br /> I love the snow pictures and the snowmen! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-of-the-house-bright-and-sparkly#post-518067 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 04:28:05 +0000 Sara L. 518067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the long-sleeved dress! It's so hard to find flattering dresses for winter. Cute shoes too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-of-the-house-bright-and-sparkly#post-518066 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 04:26:36 +0000 Marley 518066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari - you look so cute in both of these outfits! Just relaxed and comfortable with your style - AND I love those shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-of-the-house-bright-and-sparkly#post-518061 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 03:54:55 +0000 Transcona Shannon 518061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress is gorgeous on you Kari and I'm really loving the colour combo of your second outfit. The sheen on the grey shirt is beautiful - not too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-of-the-house-bright-and-sparkly#post-518047 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 03:12:38 +0000 Kari 518047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think what was key to me is realizing that I like pieces with natural shine or sparkle in them, like this top or my sparkly bronze handbag. Sequins aren't quite my thing. But I'm definitely liking the touch of sheen or shine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-of-the-house-bright-and-sparkly#post-518043 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 03:05:20 +0000 taylor 518043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haaa! welcome to my world!:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-of-the-house-bright-and-sparkly#post-518042 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 03:03:49 +0000 Kari 518042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taylor, I really didn't think I had the "magpie", daytime sparkle loving gene but I seem to have switched teams. :)</p> <p>Meredith, I would highly recommend these if a medium width, slightly padded flat is what you're after. I am always cautious because I have serious trouble spots at the back of my heels that are very blister-prone, and I find these quite comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-of-the-house-bright-and-sparkly#post-518017 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 02:33:07 +0000 Amy 518017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, you always look polished and pretty. That dress is particularly flattering on you. The shopping outfit is nice too. Love those flats! Pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-of-the-house-bright-and-sparkly#post-518013 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 02:30:18 +0000 Meredith1953 518013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been looking for some adorable flats and those are ADORABLE!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-of-the-house-bright-and-sparkly#post-518012 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 02:29:36 +0000 yankeebelle 518012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those new shoes look comfy and cute! Double score! And I really like the 2nd outfit. The colors compliment your hair color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-of-the-house-bright-and-sparkly#post-518006 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 02:22:59 +0000 taylor 518006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohhh!

It felt incredibly odd to be behind the wheel after a week of not driving at all!</p> <p>I hit the mall over the weekend to run some errands - some post-Christmas returns and exchanges, and <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-doc-martens-worn-with-dress">dropping off my Docs to get stretched</a>. B, my boyfriend, accompanied me so we could exchange some dress shirts he'd received as a gift that didn't fit properly. We were able to not only find him some better shirts in fun prints that worked out much better, but also get an even better deal through a sale that Macy's had running. One of the perks (for me) of B's new job is that requires him to dress up - he's normally very much a jeans, tee shirt, and sneakers kind of guy, but I think he looks great in woven shirts and enjoy seeing him a bit more dressed up. (That's also one of the reasons why I was so excited when he recently came home with these stylish, dressy <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-thank-you-anthro-striped-dress-bs-new-specs">new glasses.</a>)</p> <p>On my mall excursion, I made an unplanned purchase for myself - a colorful pair of tweed Me Too flats with black patent capping the toe and heel (#2.) My Me Too Swann flats (similarly shaped - beige and black patent) are doing okay but are really starting to show their age, and I've been keeping my eye out for a replacement pair. I found these shoes very striking and also quite comfortable - they were a tiny bit snug the first time I wore them, but quickly loosened up to accommodate my odd, squared off toes. I can't wait to bust these babies out with my polka dot hose!</p> <p>What I wore:<br /> For a delicious pancake-and-bacon brunch at my parents' house - gray and black abstract floral print, long-sleeved Karen Kane sweater dress, opaque black Commando hose, silver pendant on a black cord, white Fossil watch, black and bright tweed Me Too flats, black and white oval specs.<br /> To go shopping - Sparkly pewter drape-neck Karen Kane long-sleeved knit top, silver chain-and-feathers pendant necklace, rusty red bootcut cords, burgundy low-heeled booties, burgundy and turquoise specs. </p>
