It was 80 on Christmas here in Texas so the jcrew Fair Isle Tee was the most "festive" I could manage. It does have nice sparkle and even some blush which made me think of Angie.</p> <p>Today, it's a different story with a high of 48 predicted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-style#post-1596688 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 17:21:12 +0000 Anonymous 1596688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Je portais une chemise blanche avec noeud papillon </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-style#post-1596685 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 17:00:42 +0000 Bonnie 1596685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was cold in CA on Christmas. I wore my puffer for an after dinner walk. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-style#post-1596673 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 14:52:54 +0000 Angie 1596673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can absolutely wear bling with a tee along with dressy shoes and bag, btw. J.Crew invented the fun juxtaposition.</p> <p>Also, a blouse or dress would have worked for a dressier and breezier holiday look. Glad the tee had some bling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-style#post-1596661 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 13:39:31 +0000 Aquamarine 1596661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was a very warm holiday here in the Northeast. For Christmas Eve at a family gathering, I wore a red silk, voluminous blouse over black skinnies. I wore black flats with no socks. I had to roll up the sleeves of the blouse...it was that warm. No jacket outside. Very, very strange for us.</p> <p>On Christmas itself, I wore a light drapery cardigan as a topper for church, but switched to short sleeves once I got home. Definitely an odd holiday, fashion-wise. Luckily, my time here at YLF has taught me to look for versatility in a lot of my clothes, so I feel confident I can pull together acceptable outfits no matter what the weather throws at me. Thanks Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-style#post-1596631 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 04:06:13 +0000 JAileen 1596631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit sounds like mine, in a way.</p> <p>We went to the SF Bay Area for Christmas. It was chilly. I wore a dark grey metallic turtleneck, dark bootcut jeans and pewter booties. I was perfectly comfortable all day. I didn't need my festive plaid down vest until night. The next day we drove home to 6 inches of snow. I immediately set to shoveling the driveway and deck.</p> <p>This morning for church it was very cold (12F). I wore a dark blue turtleneck sweater, khaki wide leg pants, lug sole Frye campus boots for traction, and my navy duffle coat. I was somewhat comfortable, but had to wear my coat through most of the service. We sang many carols during the service. Most appropriate was "In the Bleak Midwinter." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-style#post-1596630 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 03:34:50 +0000 Maneera 1596630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seems like the winters have been mild so far all across the world! I like the idea of festive ponte pants and sparkly tees......you did well. The weather sure is acting strange. </p> <p>Happy New Year to you too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-style#post-1596611 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 01:54:17 +0000 anne 1596611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The metallic tee looks good Sterling. This weather certainly sounds strange.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-style#post-1596608 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 01:37:00 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1596608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your solution, Sterling. I bought a dress specifically with my anniversary in mind, and ended up falling back on the warmer option that has been in my closet for several years, because of--yes, the weather! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-style#post-1596605 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 01:24:28 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1596605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore my green cotton knit Boden dress (have green and blue) navy tights and navy boots on Christmas Eve and went out for a walk with no jacket. In western Massachusetts. That's never happened before. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-style#post-1596593 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 00:38:51 +0000 Anonymous 1596593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann -- my metallic tee shirt is in "finds." &nbsp;It is J Crew. &nbsp;One-hundred percent cotton. &nbsp;Very subtle sheen. &nbsp;I bought both the grey and the navy blue. &nbsp;I was quite happy with them because they were somewhat dressy. &nbsp;</p> <p>Suz -- your sweater is lovely. &nbsp;I would have been quite happy wearing it. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-style#post-1596589 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 00:32:35 +0000 Suz 1596589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That looks like a lovely tee. Your outfits sound perfect for the situation.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's difficult when the weather messes up our best laid plans, isn't it?&nbsp;</p> <p>I wore a cashmere sweater as my topper on Christmas eve, out doing last minute shopping! That has never happened before (and probably won't happen again). Luckily, the sweater was cranberry red. :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-style#post-1596588 Mon, 28 Dec 2015 00:13:34 +0000 Beth Ann 1596588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is the J. Crew tee in the Finds one of your festive elements? &nbsp;I love the subtle metallic sheen!</p> <p>It was a strange weather season over large portions of the country. &nbsp;I think I live further north than you do, but I found that I was wearing sleeveless shells and knit tops with cardis or unlined blazers --- no coats. &nbsp;Because I tend to run warm, I already have mostly lighter items in my closet. &nbsp;</p> <p>Your earrings and pants sound like great choices, and you might take comfort remembering that Angie tends to choose one new "festive" outfit each season. &nbsp;Perhaps it makes sense to simply repeat what works!</p> <p>Of course, next December might be frigid, but you might consider adding one festive blouse -- perhaps in a patterned georgette, or other lightweight fabric. &nbsp;It sounds like your jewelry has some sentimental value -- perhaps it might make you be happy (and look fab) to build a couple of outfits around these pieces.</p> <p>Happy Holidays! &nbsp;We're having chicken tonight, (not french, and not 3 of them) in celebration of the 3rd day of Christmas! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-style#post-1596567 Sun, 27 Dec 2015 21:24:24 +0000 Anonymous 1596567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had huge plans to get really dressed up for Christmas parties this year. &nbsp;What I actually wore was very different from what I had hoped to wear. &nbsp;</p> <p>First, the weather. &nbsp;It was warm and terribly humid. &nbsp;Sweaters and blazers were completely out of the question. &nbsp;I ended up wearing long and/or short sleeve tee shirts (no topper whatsoever). &nbsp;I paired my tee shirts with patterned ponte pants. &nbsp;I took comfort from the fact my ponte pants were somewhat festive. &nbsp;</p> <p>Second, the weather. &nbsp;I usually wear festive and very sparkly jewelry. &nbsp;My prettiest pieces originally belonged to my Mother. &nbsp;They all proved to be far too dressy to wear with tee shirts. &nbsp;I wore a single pair of pearl/obsidian earrings that were a gift from a dear friend. &nbsp;These earrings looked best with the tee shirts. &nbsp;I wore them daily across all events. &nbsp;</p> <p>Finally, the weather. &nbsp;I tend to wear a lot of sparkly and/or red during the Holidays. &nbsp;All of my red pieces were either sweaters or a blazer. &nbsp;All the red stayed in my closet. &nbsp;I dearly wanted to wear something sparkly. &nbsp;I bought the J Crew Metallic tee shirt shown below. &nbsp;It had a subtle metallic shine that I liked. &nbsp;</p> <p>So my nod to the Holidays were patterned ponte pants (thank goodness for them), assorted tee shirts, and a single pair of earrings. &nbsp;</p> <p>Happy New Year everyone. &nbsp; </p>
