The color is amazing and the red clutch is perfection with it.</p> <p>The cut and drape of it on you ain't bad, either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-april-to#post-69753 Thu, 04 Jun 2009 10:49:54 +0000 rute 69753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did great! Very well choosen cardigan! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-april-to#post-69666 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 23:04:49 +0000 April 69666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tara, one of the things I liked about that cardi was that it creates a total hourglass shape -- very unlike me. It's fun to play with optical illusion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-april-to#post-69632 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 20:01:12 +0000 tarzy 69632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm envious that you can wear that shape of cardigan! It looks really fabulous on you. And the color is amazing. Very well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-april-to#post-69631 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 19:58:16 +0000 Maya 69631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad you found a way to wear the cardigan because it looks awesome on you. The whole outfit is so pretty and sophisticated. Love the red clutch too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-april-to#post-69628 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 19:30:50 +0000 Anonymous 69628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope you will continue to feel good wearing that cardi and other brighter colors because you look great in them.<br /> I LOVE the shape of that cardi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-april-to#post-69616 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 18:26:45 +0000 Patience 69616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April, the cardi is stunning on you. And I'm another one who loves the red clutch with it. I hope we get to see more-- maybe you could continue this challenge with those other new colorful pieces you mentioned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-april-to#post-69604 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 16:09:21 +0000 Anonymous 69604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-april-to#post-69542 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 09:52:05 +0000 April 69542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all so very much for your encouragement! I know how ridiculous it is that this cardigan has never seen the light of day until yesterday (thanks, Kari) and I will now be sure to work it into an outfit somewhere.</p> <p>The pants look black in the photo, but they're actually dark wash trouser jeans. HannahC, I had the same thought about light-colored pants, but the only ones I own at the moment are a heavier camel wool, not light and springlike. I do have a pair of white jeans on order, but they didn't arrive in time for my challenge -- and it's just as well, since when they arrive I will be scrambling to find some non-black shoes... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-april-to#post-69535 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 08:39:51 +0000 HannahC 69535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! What a beautiful cardigan, and looks so well with the red clutch! Wow! April, you have to wear colors, it looks so good on you! A more detailed challenge would be to ask for an outfit that does not contain black, in addition to other requirements How would the same outfit look if you replace the dark pants with light ones? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-april-to#post-69508 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 05:03:57 +0000 Kari 69508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April, you look fantastic! I LOVE the turquoise cardigan on you, and it has your statement cascading ruffles too! I also adore the way you accessorized this. Hope that this motivates you to break out the bright colors that you bought, because you truly look fantastic in them as well as the darker colors you are used to. How fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-april-to#post-69439 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 01:18:48 +0000 greenglove 69439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfectly lovely, what a great sweater, I also love red and turquoise!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-april-to#post-69435 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 01:11:49 +0000 Laura 69435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty, April!

This is another fantastic way to spruce up a black and white outfit. Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-april-to#post-69368 Tue, 02 Jun 2009 21:38:42 +0000 April 69368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, here goes. You can't tell in the photo, but the "cascading cardigan" is *not* a subtle robin's egg blue, but an intensely bright turquoise (which is why I have felt shy about wearing it.) It's also a very light, thin cotton, so not bad for spring/summer.</p> <p><a href="http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu218/AprilYLF/IMG_0254.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i649.photobucket.com/al.....G_0254.jpg</a></p> <p>How did I do? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-april-to#post-69202 Tue, 02 Jun 2009 14:04:20 +0000 Kari 69202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, good! I hoped that this would be doable because I know you recently bought those cute, colorful Sweet Pea tops and other brighter items, but I don't think we've seen how you have put them together yet. Can't wait, April! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-april-to#post-69176 Tue, 02 Jun 2009 11:17:40 +0000 hanna 69176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>good luck april! i'm so excited to see you in colors! </p> <p>here is your list:</p> <p>1. rosebudrmm<br /> 2. shiny<br /> 3. ana<br /> 4. planetamy<br /> 5. inge<br /> 6. happylife<br /> 7. lwc</p> <p>the random number generator: <a href="http://www.random.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.random.org</a>. can't wait to see what you come up with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-april-to#post-69174 Tue, 02 Jun 2009 11:10:55 +0000 April 69174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I somehow missed this earlier this morning... Thank you, Kari -- that is exactly the kind of challenge that will help me rethink my clothes. It should not be a problem because I have been *buying* colorful items, just having trouble *wearing* them. They are definitely in my closet, and it's time for them to come out! </p> <p>Stay tuned... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-april-to#post-69151 Tue, 02 Jun 2009 06:22:35 +0000 Kari 69151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I looked at all of April's pictures again for inspiration, the first thing that stood out to me was her wonderful knack for dressing her slender body in the most flattering way and being a stickler for getting good fit, which can be hard when you have to alter many items. I was also inspired all over again at April's ability to create beautiful, interesting textured looks through ruffles or layering.</p> <p>That being said, I know that April has been working at being more of a risk-taker with brights or non-neutral or dark colors, so that is the crux of the challenge I am issuing:</p> <p>I'd like to see you show a spring/summer outfit featuring your "trademark" textured/layered look and containing at least two non-dark colors.<br /> At least one color should be a non-neutral shade, and I'd love to see a bright or a print for the other.<br /> At least ONE of the "lighter" colors should be a major article of clothing (a top or bottom) instead of an accessory or layering piece.</p> <p>April, does this sound doable? I'm so excited to see what you bring to the table! </p>
