WIW - Weekend outfits - YouLookFab Forum

Here are a few outfits from the long weekend.

#1 - I wore this on Thanksgiving Day. This was taken at the end of a very long day and I'm looking rumpled and wrinkled. I wore the sparkly necklace and earrings for some extra bling. My DH's family is very informal (jeans and Harley-Davidson tees are the norm) so this felt dressed up but didn't make me feel completely out of place.

#2 - I wore this for a long day of Xmas shopping with DH while my parents watched the kids. We also had a nice dinner with some friends.

#3 - I was feeling under the weather and only wore this for a couple hours. There's a stomach bug going around our house and I finally caught it. Not nearly as bad as the other members of the family, but enough that I spent most of the day sitting on the couch with a book.

#4 - I was still feeling sickly but had to leave the house so wore this sweater dress and leggings. The dress is slightly sparkly which felt festive since we put up our tree and some Christmas decorations (before I pooped out and had to sit down for awhile).

Thanks for looking and any comments or suggestions are more than welcome.

You do long shirt over skinny pants really well. I like the green dress a lot but I think you could try a more statementish necklace or scarf with it. The necklace you are wearing looks a bit delicate for the dress. The turtleneck sweater is a great colour on you. Hope you are all feeling better

I really like that olive color for you. I disagree with Brooklyn re the necklace. I feel smaller, more delicate necklaces are on trend.
Your Thanksgiving outfit is great.

Another one who likes that shade of olive on you, Sara. And your hair looks SO fab. I'm loving those wispy layers. Feel better soon.

Oh, yes. Great bling in #1. Festive!

I love the green dress. It's a great color for you.

You look amazing, Sara. I especially love #2! Though its black & white (rather than a festive color), I love the beautiful contrast and the layering. Awesome!

Sal

I hope you feel better soon!
I also love the black and white look on you, although you look nice in all of them. The olive green is a lovely colour - it has a great warmth to it.

You seem to be able to wear both warm and cool colours well!

Another fan of #5 and I also like #4 a lot. Hope you are feeling better!

Where did you find an olive sweater dress?! In spite of the stomach bug, you had a festive looking weekend.

Thanks everyone! The olive sweater dress is several years old and from Newport News. I used to get their catalogs all the time. I haven't received a catalog from them in ages - I'm not sure if they're even around anymore.

Brooklyn - I usually wear a scarf with this dress but as this was the weekend and I was doing chores most of the day - cleaning, cooking, laundry, etc - I didn't want a scarf that could get in my way. A small necklace made me feel like I put some effort into the outfit.

Love that sweater dress! And I vote keep the delicate necklace with it!

Your Thanksgiving outfit is great -- bling for your fashionable self and casual pieces for the casual family! But my favorite is the black-and-white houndstooth -- that is a look after my own heart!
