This one caught my eye and it is also in a pretty dark gold as well. I’m even considering overlooking my aversion to gathered sleeves on me, as these look like soft streamlined gathers. The back detail is also nice </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2019-goal-feminine-cold-weather-tops-1#post-1992668 Wed, 16 Jan 2019 15:13:03 +0000 Anonymous 1992668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like very feminine tops too, but harder in winter for sure!

A blouse with ruffles in a soft color?<br /> Deep V neck sweater if you can show some cleavage and a pretty bra? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2019-goal-feminine-cold-weather-tops-1#post-1992518 Wed, 16 Jan 2019 02:56:30 +0000 Gretchen 1992518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isn’t it fun to have some good stompy boots?</p> <p>For tops, you might have a look at Anthropologie. They typically have a good selection of sweaters and tops with interesting details (lace, print, etc.). And it would be fairly easy to layer a cami or base layer with them. Some older finds below as examples. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2019-goal-feminine-cold-weather-tops-1#post-1992454 Tue, 15 Jan 2019 22:21:54 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1992454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>What? An invite to shop without having to make decisions or pay choices? Woohoo!</div><div><br /></div><div>But it's actually harder than I expected, because I really don't know you or your style at all, so these are more suggestions of general directions. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>M Dutti has a ton of pretty tuxedo-ish blouses on their site; I chose this one at random, but you might want to check them out.<br /></div><div>I think dark florals might also be a good choice in balancing out the boots. This is probably not the best source for that--maybe Free People would be better? <br /></div><div>I just thought the eyelash sweater was pretty and that the power pink of the other sweater might be a good counterpart to the boots. Kkardds idea of a cami peeking out might work well with this one. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>What about dresses? My favorite combat boots outfit ever was a black dress from Victoria's Secret, kind of shiny and sexy. I wore it with black tights and combat boots to great effect in the 90s. More recently, I've worn my red combat boots with a simple blue sweater dress. That seems to work well too.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Also, you might want to check "night out" or similar sections on your favorite shopping site. This is Nordstrom's. Some of the tops would be deadly cold, but could be paired with a blazer with interesting texture. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://shop.nordstrom.com/c/date-night-outfits-clothing?breadcrumb=Home%2FWomen%2FShop%20by%20Occasion%2FNight%20Out%2FClothing&amp;top=72&amp;offset=0&amp;page=1&amp;sort=Boosted&amp;flexi=60201615_60203385|60201615_60203387|60201615_60203487|60201615_60201836|60201615_60202315">https://shop.nordstrom.com/c/d.....by%20Occas</a></div><div><br /></div><div>ETA what about a schoolgirl gone bad kind of look, like the top with Peter Pan color?</div><div><br /></div><div>You could also do a soft fluttery kimono over whatever else you have on to provide instant contrast to the boots. <br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2019-goal-feminine-cold-weather-tops-1#post-1992432 Tue, 15 Jan 2019 21:12:52 +0000 rachylou 1992432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m thinking you also might find something pretty and unique on Etsy... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2019-goal-feminine-cold-weather-tops-1#post-1992339 Tue, 15 Jan 2019 17:14:25 +0000 Ket 1992339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It might be a little more sexy than feminine, but often I've found Victoria's Secret has very soft knit sweaters. I don't always think the quality is fantastic, especially for the price. But still, often very pretty, lots of drape, etc.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2019-goal-feminine-cold-weather-tops-1#post-1992305 Tue, 15 Jan 2019 14:47:21 +0000 bella 1992305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you checked out NY&amp;Co? Not always the best quality, but they do a ton of pretty, feminine sweaters and cardigans.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2019-goal-feminine-cold-weather-tops-1#post-1992298 Tue, 15 Jan 2019 13:45:58 +0000 Jules 1992298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have/want somewhat similar winter style. I totally get what you mean about the boots - I bought burgundy Timberlands this winter and they are just so delightfully stompy! I feel very sturdy on my feet for the first time in a while (I have a bad ankle that turns over at random).<br /> Personally I’d like some work-appropriate, neutral but pretty non-knit tops that are NOT sheer and highlight my narrowest point under the rib cage, while being loose and flowy over the tummy and hips. I’d like to use my scarves for interest. I’m really sick of boxy cuts and sheer fabrics with no underlay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2019-goal-feminine-cold-weather-tops-1#post-1992294 Tue, 15 Jan 2019 13:34:02 +0000 April 1992294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First places that come to mind for this sort of top/sweater: Soft Surroundings, Garnet Hill, Peruvian Connection.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2019-goal-feminine-cold-weather-tops-1#post-1992290 Tue, 15 Jan 2019 12:25:22 +0000 kkards 1992290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>one quick way to do this is with a vneck sweater with a lace cami underneath so part of the lace is visable....either at the neck or below the sweater at the waist/hips </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2019-goal-feminine-cold-weather-tops-1#post-1992223 Tue, 15 Jan 2019 01:30:23 +0000 KMM 1992223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>rachylou, yes I do!

I will say the fabric was very pretty in person, and I assume (since you own it) this wrap top is more of a winner. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I love combat boots and probably need to replace mine - not enough support and shock absorption for my current needs.<br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2019-goal-feminine-cold-weather-tops-1#post-1992072 Mon, 14 Jan 2019 16:30:51 +0000 ChristelJ 1992072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recently found this top with "soft texture"... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2019-goal-feminine-cold-weather-tops-1#post-1992067 Mon, 14 Jan 2019 16:19:09 +0000 KMM 1992067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This week I made my final footwear purchase of the season, and took inventory of my boot collection. I now have four pair of lace-up boots with varying heel heights which will cover me in a range of temperatures, including a shearling lined pair. I love the stompy sturdiness of combat boots and have since I was a teenager, many moons ago They somehow make me feel grounded and empowered! I stayed away from the style in my 30's as they felt too masculine for me then, but more recently and thanks largely to YLF I've started paring them with my small collection of pretty, feminine tops and sweaters, usually with skinny jeans, and really like the look. My actual wardrobe items are below. I'd love to find more tops that are warm enough to wear in New England winter weather, or at least not flimsy and sleeveless! I just ordered a couple different velvet tops from Madewell but am having trouble finding other options. Would love items with lace, brocade, or other types of soft texture to offset the edginess of the boots. Welcome any suggestions. </p>
