For what it's worth, the Lemon ones are really an entirely different animal. Think basic fleece-lined tights with cotton leggings layered over them. That's how thick and cozy they are.</p> <p>Thank you for sharing,&nbsp;<b>SarahD8</b>. I follow you, and I very much appreciate it. I love shopping and new clothes, but I don't buy things I can't imagine wearing. I'm also better at not getting things that are totally outside my style, no matter how pretty the color is. (My biggest weakness.)&nbsp; The Prairie Underground hoodie was a risk, since I couldn't try its fit before buying; but it worked out. I, uh, may have just bought another long one in cream late last night.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love it, <b>Angie</b>! GoT isn't something I'm into watching, but I love the costumes and the hair. That and Lord of the Rings are lifelong #hairgoals for me!&nbsp; And the hood... LOL! I did try it, once. That bun donut is HARD and does not compress! The hood drawstring tried to choke me, and the three tiny hairpins I use all dug into my scalp. Never again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie%e2%80%99s-challenge-wednesday-night-at-home-and-thursday#post-2008325 Thu, 28 Feb 2019 23:33:54 +0000 Angie 2008325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The frock outfit with the Game of Thrones hair could not be MORE <b>Ginger.</b> KILLER. I love the '70s vibe of it.&nbsp;</p> <p>And you are cuter than cute in your at home look.&nbsp;</p> <p>Big buns and hoods are tricky....there is that.... :)</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie%e2%80%99s-challenge-wednesday-night-at-home-and-thursday#post-2008291 Thu, 28 Feb 2019 22:20:22 +0000 SarahD8 2008291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two very cozy looks! I absolutely covet the fair isle dress, of course.<br />I have really enjoyed seeing your outfits this week, Ginger, although I haven't always managed to comment.<br />You have mentioned before that you are sometimes hesitant to post WIW's because your style is so distinct from that of the 'mainstream' of the forum. But that's exactly why I find your posts so useful! Your ability to really own and be consistent with your style is something I aspire to, as another whose preferences are a bit out of the norm.<br />I also really appreciate seeing how you are able to spot items that do fit your style at retail -- and sort of reinterpret them in the styling to make them "you."<br />This, uh, might have made more sense in my head.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie%e2%80%99s-challenge-wednesday-night-at-home-and-thursday#post-2008251 Thu, 28 Feb 2019 21:27:24 +0000 Anonymous 2008251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:)<br /> Actually I have some similar, but had to downgrade to loungewear since they got less opaque than I needed! But waiting to replace-since winters almost over (hopefully...). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie%e2%80%99s-challenge-wednesday-night-at-home-and-thursday#post-2008250 Thu, 28 Feb 2019 21:18:21 +0000 Ginger 2008250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL&nbsp;<b>suntiger</b>, get your own!

I've always liked braids, but it's a little hard to get them to stay correctly on me.</p> <p><b>Cardiff girl</b>, to be honest it bothers me a little (it gets all over the place, around my neck and in my face), but I like how it looks so I put up with it from time to time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie%e2%80%99s-challenge-wednesday-night-at-home-and-thursday#post-2008244 Thu, 28 Feb 2019 21:07:37 +0000 Anonymous 2008244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the cobalt dress with the cognac boots!<br /> * carries off fur lined leggings * </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie%e2%80%99s-challenge-wednesday-night-at-home-and-thursday#post-2008159 Thu, 28 Feb 2019 18:35:04 +0000 Cardiff girl 2008159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair looks lovely down,much softer and very pretty.l really like the blue dress on you as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie%e2%80%99s-challenge-wednesday-night-at-home-and-thursday#post-2008143 Thu, 28 Feb 2019 18:19:01 +0000 Kathie 2008143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cobalt blue is a gorgeous color on you. Love the way you did your hair- different, but still in keeping with your retro style, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie%e2%80%99s-challenge-wednesday-night-at-home-and-thursday#post-2008131 Thu, 28 Feb 2019 17:51:34 +0000 Ginger 2008131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last evening was my first at home in four days. And it got COLD during the day - the expected cold front was faster and stronger than expected. </p> <p>So I wore my very favorite outfit of this winter: dark gray Lemon (from DSW) “fur lined” leggings; pale pink Caslon “mistake” hoodie dress from NAS (they sent the wrong item, but I loved it); maroon Prairie Underground long cloak hoodie; and tall MukLuks slippers. I am mad about this combination of pale pink and maroon, and the leggings are the warmest and comfiest things ever.</p> <p>This morning we had surprise! freezing drizzle. Much colder and nastier than was predicted even 2 days ago. So I pulled out my favorite dressed-up outfit of this winter: the Emmy Design dress, from Sweden. Traditional Fair Isle pattern in royal blue, burnt orange, and white, 100% wool, and knitted with long sleeves, ribbed waist, and flared knee-length skirt. LOVE THIS. It’s the warmest dress I own, but it breathes perfectly and I almost never get too warm even indoors. When it arrived, it was several inches high-waisted and a tiny bit short in the arms; I wore it with a belt to visually place the waist correctly. After washing in Eucalan, the wool is even softer, and I took the opportunity to carefully stretch sleeves and bodice. They’re now the perfect length, so no belt necessary!</p> <p>No thick tights this time; nude Wolford hose, with my cognac suede boots. The boots are very close to the orange in the knit, and bookend my hair.</p> <p>And speaking of hair – it’s down! For pragmatic reasons: I can’t fit a hood over the giant bun donut! This is a style I came up with a few months ago: A large braided switch, pinned into a loop. Then placed around my head, with my own hair down. It’s not something I want to do for days on end, but I do like it.</p>
