Crawling out of the endless cold, day 13 here. It has been a wicked one. My "faking it" outfit:

Red to pretend I have energy
Cozy layers in the form of a light wrap to pretend I'm wearing PJs
Lots of jewelry to distract attention from my face...I hope!
Doesn't show up, but red lipstick and bold brow to distract attention away from my puffy, teary eyes. Not sure this last one is working.

There, I'm completely well. Believe it?!

I've heard it said that it is more important to look good than to feel good so if this is true, you nailed it. You look great! Really pretty color on you and I love the layered necklaces. Feel better soon!

Wow, you look like a ROCK STAR when you are sick. What a gorgeous outfit on you!! Perfect colour and sparkle and coziness.

It is chilly here today too and I am not ready for it!!

Hey -- you can wear "our" scarf now if you like. There's a bright side to everything.

Hope you feel better soon.

Very pretty! You look lovely in this shade of red. I truly hope you are on the mend. 13 days is tortuous and ridiculous.

I admire your fearless dedication to bold color. You look good in these jewel tones with your fair skin and dark hair. You have so successfully faked out the cold that I wouldn't have guessed you have a cold. Take that, cold.

The perfect amount of drape to make it luxurious without overwhelming + a beautiful color = a great "pick-me-up" formula. You look lovely, and your jewelry is a great way to finish and polish the outfit.

Rest well!

The red brightens you up and so does the gold. I hope you feel better.

Aww, you look great. I would never guess you were sick. I always have to go to work sick because with 3 kids my sick time gets used to stay home with them when they're sick. Comfy layers that look good but feel like pajamas are my secret weapon (and drugs - better living through chemicals).

Totally fooled me. I hope you feel as good as you look, very soon.

What is the red top? No reason for asking...

Thank you all for the lovely compliments and well wishes! I'm beginning to mend, but wow, this has been tough, just dragging through the days when I want to be out doing things. Next week will be better!

Elizabeth, the top is Mossique. I bought it last year and this Fall looked for the line at the same store and they weren't carrying it. An online search didn't find it either...I was wondering if the company went out of business. I have been eyeing this very similar Karen Kane top though. It looks a bit thicker material and mine has fitted sleeves, but otherwise seems like a very close dupe.

Well, you look great! Now let's hope you feel as great, very soon. The color is gorgeous on you, and the jewelry is terrific. The long necklaces and layering are a good pick for this tunic.

It just came to me, what that color reminds me of: red hots! (Those little candies that are hot and sweet and turn your tongue bright red--if eaten in a certain quantity, ahem!) It just makes me smile, seeing how well you wear this color.

I admire your "dressing above the cold", I tend to "dress into the cold"', which I think tends to prolong it. YLF and I hope your feeling totally better soon
