My favorite is the jeans with white pumps and that great jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-the-last-month#post-1635431 Sat, 26 Mar 2016 06:49:15 +0000 chirico (Chiara) 1635431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't pinpoint which outfit I like best, they are all fab! Maybe my favourite in the one with the beige cardi and white shoes. All are chic and put together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-the-last-month#post-1635396 Sat, 26 Mar 2016 02:27:19 +0000 Karie 1635396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lyn67, I was also thinking black booties, but perhaps a tan/nude shoe would work too. Thanks for the suggestion.</p> <p>Thank you Anna and MsMaven! #5-6-7 was my favorite too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-the-last-month#post-1635362 Sat, 26 Mar 2016 00:36:08 +0000 MsMaven 1635362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what Anna said.

Beautiful surprise among all the pants outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-the-last-month#post-1635204 Fri, 25 Mar 2016 18:18:59 +0000 annagybe 1635204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dang! #5, 6, 7 is awesome </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-the-last-month#post-1635132 Fri, 25 Mar 2016 14:55:01 +0000 lyn67 1635132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Missed your retrospective wiw posts, Karie! My fave is nr 5-7 of course(real bada...s:-)), and I love your stripes of any kind but all others are each so stylish and &nbsp;perfect for your life! Agree about the hesitation with the nude hose for knitted dress-but don't give up on it-maybe another shoe (say a bootie) will solve the problem). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-the-last-month#post-1635063 Fri, 25 Mar 2016 12:31:38 +0000 Anonymous 1635063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really think all these outfits are great. You've packed a lot of variety into your wardrobe.<br /> Agreeing with others that #5 is really stylish, but I also love 3-4. I love the stripes with the floral on top. Also like how you put the pink with the red blazer. Very nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-the-last-month#post-1635056 Fri, 25 Mar 2016 12:11:02 +0000 Karie 1635056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, Firecracker! Glad to hear I am not the only one who does not like to see her body double naked! And I hope BF jeans aren't "over" just yet as I still love wearing mine. I'll admit I do wear my slim fit (Gap Resolution Slim Straights) way more often, but there are some occasions and days when a BF jean just fits the outfit better.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-the-last-month#post-1634939 Fri, 25 Mar 2016 03:47:44 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1634939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all spectacular, Karie. My favorite is the 40th birthday party outfit. Plus, I'm so encouraged to see you are rocking the boyfriend jeans and looking so chic, because I just bought a new pair today and was hoping they aren't "over" yet!&nbsp; <br />I also noticed your dress form's enviable t-shirt wardrobe. I like to keep mine dressed, too, when other people are going to see her. Funny, yes, and true. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-the-last-month#post-1634931 Fri, 25 Mar 2016 03:37:02 +0000 Karie 1634931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone!&nbsp;<br />El Cee, I am looking forward to the next school year being less stressful.</p> <p>Suz, I"ve missed you too! We need to plan a meet-up this summer when I am out in Sackets Harbor.</p> <p>Wow, Angie, K2K! I'm blushing. Thank you.</p> <p>Rachy, I love to add a little touch of the unexpected (in this case, punk!) to an outfit.</p> <p>Thank you, Bonnie. That dress is a comfy favorite.</p> <p>Diana, wow, a fashion blogger? I'm blushing again!</p> <p>Allona, I'm very flattered - fashion inspiration from me? I get inspiration from everyone here on YLF, how flattering to think someone might get inspiration from me!&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you, Diane! I've been trying to wear more fun colors and statement jewelry.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-the-last-month#post-1634782 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 21:04:21 +0000 El Cee 1634782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in all these outfits Karie. I especially love #5-7. That clutch is incredibly fun. Sorry you have had so much work stress -- but that is good news that your school will be coming off the receivership list very soon. Hopefully the next school year will be better for you.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-the-last-month#post-1634732 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 20:00:46 +0000 Suz 1634732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is really great news about your school, Karie. And I have missed you!&nbsp;</p> <p>Looking great in all your plaids. Love the new coat!!&nbsp;</p> <p>And I am totally in love with #5. Killer fabulous on you; the choice of clutch was inspired.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-the-last-month#post-1634614 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 16:26:15 +0000 Angie 1634614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are rocking it all, Karie. GREAT to see you post again. Missed you. </p> <p>Loving all the plaid - should have grabbed that gorgeous plaid coat myself - but can at least enjoy it on you and Aida.&nbsp;</p> <p>#5 whacks it out of the ball park. Killer to the power of Killer. And #4 is special too. Fun Boston gathering memories.&nbsp;</p> <p>Congrats on the school achievement, and thanks for the kind words about YLF.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-the-last-month#post-1634533 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 14:39:33 +0000 rachylou 1634533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love your touches of punk!

You look like a fashion blogger! Love love love. </p> <p>I also really like the last one, with the ankle plaid pants over the ankle straps. Great statement necklace!</p> <p>Congrats on your school's success. It must be a nice feeling to not have to worry about that any more! Hope you have something fun and relaxing planned to celebrate! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-the-last-month#post-1634461 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 12:08:19 +0000 Anonymous 1634461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my--such super outfits, Karie! All lovely renditions, but I'm bowled over by the look in pics 5-7. It's like a magazine shoot styling. Wow. </p> <p>I also love your pearls (and the whole look) in 11-12. And you look great in a sweater dress. Also pleased to get styling inspiration from you for the necklace in your last pics. I have one that looks similar, though a bit longer, and struggle with what to combine it with. </p> <p>Congrats on your school's success, both to the teachers and students who put in such hard work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-the-last-month#post-1634456 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 12:00:48 +0000 Anonymous 1634456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great to see you Karie! You looked very stylish this last month. I love your fun style, bright colours and accessories. That Vogue clutch is fab!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-the-last-month#post-1634439 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 10:18:42 +0000 Karie 1634439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! Joy, our school year runs from right after Labor Day in Sept. until the very end of June. Apparently my school has shown enough growth to move us up a level and off that dreadful list. We're hoping to move up two levels by the end of June.</p> <p>Thank you Shevia and Sally! I am trying to incorporate more brights into my outfits, and "fun" is my #1 style goal (probably my #1 goal, period!)</p> <p>Brooklyn, that clutch is my fun favorite! I bought it when visiting a friend on Long Island. It's from a gift shop in the town of Greenport.</p> <p>UmmLila, my new staging area is actually my craft/spare room, which we just finished painting and carpeting. My body double dummy is there because she's too troublesome to move out of the way - if you pick her up incorrectly, she disengages from the pole and topples over! She's near the door from which you can see straight down the hall to the main part of the house, and I don't like my guests seeing her naked! Weird and silly, I know, but I'm having fun dressing her!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-the-last-month#post-1634404 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 04:44:36 +0000 Anonymous 1634404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is your school year nearly over or do you have year round-school? You have many wonderful looks here and have honed your style. The going out outfit and last outfit with your art fair statement necklace are my favorites. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-the-last-month#post-1634394 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 04:05:18 +0000 Jaime 1634394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks. You are smashing in brights but the going out outfit works wonderfully too. Congratulations to you and your school! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-the-last-month#post-1634383 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 03:34:44 +0000 Sal 1634383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are some great looks here. &nbsp;I agree 5-7 are just wonderful and fun!! &nbsp;Love those colours on you.</p> <p>I also particularly like the white blazer look. &nbsp;Your new "Aida" coat is also terrific.</p> <p>The sweater dress is lovely. &nbsp;I have bought a similar type dress to wear with opaques for easy winter dressing. &nbsp;It looks fine without dark tights too so it is great to have that options for fringe weather.</p> <p>I also like the long over lean in the last one, you certainly suit these shape pants brilliantly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-the-last-month#post-1634357 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 02:11:16 +0000 Brooklyn 1634357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You wear a wide variety of styles really well. But I gotta say my favourite is 5, 6, 7. Love the distressed jeans with the pearls and that beautiful drapey jacket. And how fun is that clutch! Where is it from? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-the-last-month#post-1634352 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 01:47:08 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1634352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're looking good, Karie. And I like your photo staging area with cool t shirts and dressmaker dummy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfor-the-last-month#post-1634345 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 01:18:11 +0000 Karie 1634345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I don't think I've ever gone an entire month without posting an outfit of some sort or another! That is, until now...<br />It's been a stressful and busy school year so far - the school where I teach was on the state's receivership list (a list of failing schools) but we just found out that we are off the list as of July 1 - woohoo! YLF has truly been a great place for me to hang out during this time - not only has it been a stress reliever to spend time on the forum, but just knowing that I now have some well-fitting, comfortable, and fashionable clothes to put on every day has been great (well I think they're well-fitting and fashionable, you may think differently - ha!).</p> <p>#1 - The J Crew coat that I saw Aida wear - I just had to have it!&nbsp;<br />#2 - What I was wearing under the coat.<br />#3 - The shirt under the blazer is a new favorite from the Ann Taylor Outlet. Sorry about the weird expression on my face, I had just gotten home from having dental work done.<br />#4 - Same as #3 except for the blazer. I'll be wearing this tomorrow night to go see an off Broadway production of The Lion King.<br />#5, #6, #7 - Got a little funky for a co-worker's 40th birthday party at a local pub. My goal was to wear something I love and wouldn't wear to work. This fit the bill perfectly and other co-workers came up to me all evening to tell me how much they liked my outfit!<br />#8 - I wore this dress all winter with black tights, and I like it much better with tights - it doesn't look as short. I've already put this away until fall.<br />#9 - Super easy dressing - almost all black with statement hose.<br />#10 - I really like this new top from J Crew Factory, but since the stripes are shiny it doesn't photo well.<br />#11 - I bought this blouse from the Loft last fall, and I like the way it looks with my multicolored pearl necklace.<br />#12 - They still have the heat on at work so my room is like a sauna. I decided to wear a sleeveless top (I had a long sweater for outside). I got this statement necklace at a craft fair last weekend.</p> <p>I did manage to squeeze in some shopping two weekends ago, so I'll be posting a little more often!</p>
