I actually liked that color combo so much that I wore the same outfit for two days. I don't remember the last time I wore the same thing two days in a row.</p> <p>Sihaya: This one reminded me of you. Nordstrom and Blomingdale's also carries it (fro $2 cheaper ;-). Although on the expensive side, it might prove versatile considering your style: <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/am/product/64334?cm_mmc=LinkshareUS-_-ProductFeed-_-Marc+by+Marc+Jacobs-_-Dresses&#038;siteID=J84DHJLQkR4-PRorXaJJvxs16x8UwCxYFg" rel="nofollow">http://www.net-a-porter.com/am.....6x8UwCxYFg</a></p> <p>This one is only left at size 6 since it's on sale. I'm guessing you're smaller than a six, but here is the link: <a href="http://www.theoutnet.com/product/72085?cm_mmc=LinkshareUS-_-Custom-_-Link-_-Builder&#038;siteID=J84DHJLQkR4-l0GSmadHV2ywK7UgOCXhwg" rel="nofollow">http://www.theoutnet.com/produ.....K7UgOCXhwg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-legacyofpearl#post-140389 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 06:24:21 +0000 AJ 140389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All fab outfits! The banded top outfit is my favorite. Those shades of blue and green are just right for Spring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-legacyofpearl#post-140348 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 03:07:43 +0000 Sihaya 140348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I now just need to find the appropriate tunic for it. I do something similar with a shorter sweater vest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-legacyofpearl#post-140316 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 01:04:25 +0000 LoP 140316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks San! Maybe the SoCal vibe finally rubbed on me after 10 years. :)</p> <p>Sihaya: Thank you! Steal it. I'm sure it will look great on you. It fits your artsy style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-legacyofpearl#post-139434 Thu, 01 Apr 2010 04:14:09 +0000 Sihaya 139434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome - love your creativity. and i especially love how you have the woven shirt under the tunic. i'm going to have to steal that idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-legacyofpearl#post-139344 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 20:48:41 +0000 Anonymous 139344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job LOP. You look beautiful in all of your pictures!<br /> I agree that you make the mini skirt look southern California beachy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-legacyofpearl#post-139311 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 18:21:47 +0000 LoP 139311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Thanks everyone for the responses. I'm so sorry to reply back late. It's been a busy couple of weeks and I finally was able to take a few days off with my son.</p> <p>Queenie: Thank you for the tip to wear slouchy boots. I will try it next time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-legacyofpearl#post-138520 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 17:42:51 +0000 Kyle 138520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoa! You ladies are knocking these challenge outfits out of the park. Such a fresh, mod, yet retro Jackie-O vibe. I'm loving all your looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-legacyofpearl#post-138480 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 11:51:28 +0000 yublocka 138480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow that second outfit bowled me over. LOVE the tunic with the shirt underneath. Really like the way you have accessorised both outfits!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-legacyofpearl#post-138438 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 06:00:49 +0000 Maya 138438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing LoP! You can totally pull off that miniskirt. I'm glad you're keeping it with those fab gams of yours. You wear a hip belt really well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-legacyofpearl#post-138373 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 00:15:30 +0000 bella 138373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both outfits! The color combo in the first one is so pretty! You are a knock-out, so I am glad you decided to keep the mini-skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-legacyofpearl#post-138279 Sat, 27 Mar 2010 14:38:24 +0000 Queen Mum 138279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ooh, fun.. more outfits! love that blue green banded top combo, and that dress outfit is too too cute! (try pleating your pants at the bottom and wearing socks over them to keep them more taught while tucked into your boots) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-legacyofpearl#post-138243 Sat, 27 Mar 2010 11:01:56 +0000 RoseandJoan 138243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I completely agree with Kristen, you look amazing and work appropriate in your banded top and boots looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-legacyofpearl#post-138241 Sat, 27 Mar 2010 10:54:52 +0000 Kristen 138241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OOOOH. First off, I loved your bombshell look! You look very fresh and sexy in a wholesome way. Maybe it was the scarf on your head, but I got that beachy, California-girl vibe completely. Yowza!</p> <p>Then the next two are KILLER yet again! I can't believe you shy away from wearing that silk top (WANT WANT WANT) or the slouchy boots at work; they are added in seamlessly in these outfits. SO well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-legacyofpearl#post-138226 Sat, 27 Mar 2010 05:29:34 +0000 LoP 138226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much for the encouraging comments on the mini skirt. I'll keep the skirt, but I still don't know where I'd wear it. I just decided that it actually doesn't look too bad and I have to have one in my closet for a beach vacation, etc.</p> <p>I'm sorry the whole challenge took me a week to finish, but I'm finally done.</p> <p>Here are two more things I don't do at work context and I did it for the challenge. I think I might do it again. Yay! Thanks, Kari!</p> <p>1. Silk banded top: Love to wear this in other outfits outside of work, but I think it was fine to wear it to work in this combination. The pictures are not the best so I apologize for that.</p> <p><a href="http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss260/LegacyOfPearl/CIMG2483.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i581.photobucket.com/al.....MG2483.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss260/LegacyOfPearl/CIMG2484.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i581.photobucket.com/al.....MG2484.jpg</a></p> <p>2. Slouchy boots: I never tuck my jeans to my boots at work, not even slouchy boots. I had these boots for 4 years and I love the stitching details on the soft suede. However,I never wore them to work thinking it would be too much. I was at the Palomar Observatory today for work and it was 39F in the observatory and around 70F in San Diego. So I had to pick an outfit that worked for both temperatures. I actually loved having the boots tucked in under a cozy sweater dress with a top coat added, but not pictured... it was too hot by the time I got to taking the picture.</p> <p><a href="http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss260/LegacyOfPearl/CIMG2485.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i581.photobucket.com/al.....MG2485.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss260/LegacyOfPearl/CIMG2486-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i581.photobucket.com/al.....2486-1.jpg</a></p> <p>Miniskirt is definitely not coming to work with me, but the rest I found doable after this challenge, especially the silk banded top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-legacyofpearl#post-137722 Thu, 25 Mar 2010 05:42:20 +0000 taylor 137722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG...soooo adorable and retro. Looking like Audrey Hepburn. I LOVE this on you!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-legacyofpearl#post-137698 Thu, 25 Mar 2010 04:39:14 +0000 Kari 137698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, wow - great teaser! I love the modernized pinup-girl vibe I get from the outfit, especially with the large shades &amp; head scarf. You are such a pro at adapting your skills to ANY style. I can't wait to see more!</p> <p>(I'm going to be out of town from Friday on, so my apologies if I'm not able to see your full response right away - but I will absolutely keep my eyes open!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-legacyofpearl#post-137599 Wed, 24 Mar 2010 22:29:41 +0000 Vani 137599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>what a tease! LOVE this look on you LOP. I hope you will find plenty occasion to wear this skirt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-legacyofpearl#post-137581 Wed, 24 Mar 2010 21:23:55 +0000 Queen Mum 137581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ooh, look at you with your hot legs! I think this is a darling outfit, and I agree, would be great for the beach or pool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-legacyofpearl#post-137506 Wed, 24 Mar 2010 15:23:52 +0000 AJ 137506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a tease! The scarf and sandals add some nice details to the top and skirt.</p> <p>I see this outfit as a cute swimsuit cover up. Hey, your ready for Kim's pool party! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-legacyofpearl#post-137435 Wed, 24 Mar 2010 07:57:01 +0000 RoseandJoan 137435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The retro styling of the skirt looks amazing, certainly a lot of leggage but definitely a class look. On what occasions would you wear a short skirt? It may help you to decide whether to keep the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-legacyofpearl#post-137429 Wed, 24 Mar 2010 07:25:16 +0000 LoP 137429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi! I logged in to apologize for the delay and saw the messages. I've been fighting migraines and have a paper due tomorrow. (4th one in a row.) I love this challenge and finally have the ideas on what to do, but couldn't take pictures in the midst of everything except for the one that I stopped by the store for over the weekend.</p> <p>So here's a teaser... </p> <p><a href="http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss260/LegacyOfPearl/CIMG2475.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i581.photobucket.com/al.....MG2475.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss260/LegacyOfPearl/CIMG2473.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i581.photobucket.com/al.....MG2473.jpg</a></p> <p>I haven't worn such a short mini skirt in a long time and thought I'd never do it again in my adult life after having my son. It's too much "leggage" that gets me. I decided it was one thing to try for the challenge. I initially thought I'd leave the skirt in the store after taking the pictures, but I ended up buying it. Is it a keeper?</p> <p>The other two outfits are coming by Thursday. I'll also issue a the new challenge on Thursday. Apologies for the delay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-legacyofpearl#post-137372 Wed, 24 Mar 2010 02:43:22 +0000 Anonymous 137372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smart thinking on your part Kari.

Love it! </p> <p>This is a real challenge for me. I have no idea what to do. You've helped me with one. I definitely shy away from anything remotely bombshell looking. Thank you for that. Now I have to find two more, LOL! </p> <p>I'll post what I come up with over the weekend and issue the next challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-legacyofpearl#post-135951 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 04:10:25 +0000 Vani 135951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! What a well though out challenge Kari, I am VERY impressed :-)</p> <p>Can't wait to see what you come up with LOP! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-kari-challenges-legacyofpearl#post-135946 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 03:59:52 +0000 Kari 135946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Legacy of Pearl, in a way it's a challenge even to identify of a challenge for you because you try - and master - such a variety of trends. You mix patterns, colors, and silhouettes with ease, and you have a particularly fabulous collection of tunics that look awesome over jeans.<br /> Since smart casual wear is clearly something that you excel at, I was even contemplating challenging you to translate your casual style into a date night/LBD look - but I see that you've already done that on your Tuesday blog post!</p> <p>So my challenge to you is a little more abstract, and I'm asking for you to help me out a little - since you are already such a bold chameleon with your personal style, I'd love to see you push ahead even farther.<br /> What are three style elements that you intentionally avoid, or are hesitant to try? (Think of Angie's previous aversion to mixing gold and silver metals, or Maya's reluctance to wear belts, or it could be a matter of adopting a sexy "bombshell" persona - I'd like to know where the boundaries of your style comfort zone lie.)</p> <p>Then, I challenge you to build one (or more) outfits around those three elements that you've identified, but in a way that retains the key elements of your style - trendy, playful, and masterful at combining unusual colors and patterns together. I'd like to see you try all three of the elements that you've previously avoided, but they don't all have to be present in the same outfit.</p> <p>Let me know how this goes - I'm happy to change up the challenge as needed!</p> <p>Here's the list of participants who are left from our challenge chain:<br /> 1. april<br /> 2. ana<br /> 3. an<br /> 4. mamapicklejuice</p> <p>The last person picked from this group will challenge sarah. use the random number generator at <a href="http://www.random.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.random.org</a>. </p>
