I love the holidays and I do dress in holiday colors/themes. I just think its fun. Yesterday I wore an orange sweater with white sequin ghost on it and orange tennies to work. I got lots of compliments! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-dressing-in-holiday-themes#post-761709 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 02:59:56 +0000 Anonymous 761709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big thumbs up for the subtle nod to the season without actually wearing theme tees, sweatshirts or sweaters. It's fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-dressing-in-holiday-themes#post-761700 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 02:51:38 +0000 JAileen 761700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A little bit. In October, for example, I've been wearing my quilted orange vest as much as possible. After Thanksgiving I wear red as much as possible. I also have some handmade jewelry, such as a rustic silver Jack O Lantern, a silver evergreen, etc. I definitely try not to look like an elementary school teacher. No offense to teachers out there. No turtlenecks with turkeys! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-dressing-in-holiday-themes#post-761673 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 02:13:08 +0000 MsMary 761673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I do like to dress with at least a nod to the holiday. Here are some from the last year or so.</p> <p>1. Last Valentine's Day -- pink trench<br /> 2. 4th of July this year -- blue and white bleached jeans with red tee<br /> 3. Last Halloween -- orange blouse, black skirt (I added my black-and-white Kate Spade blazer for work)<br /> 4. Last Thanksgiving -- "harvest" colors plus the UWP sweater was kind of a nod to Native Americans at the first Thanksgiving<br /> 5. Last Christmas -- green pants, red boots<br /> 6. This St. Pat's Day<br /> 7. This year, last work day before the 4th of July weekend<br /> 8. Christmas party a couple of years ago -- green sweater, red cardi</p> <p>I enjoy thinking up outfits that incorporate holiday colors without shouting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-dressing-in-holiday-themes#post-761552 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 00:33:09 +0000 Aziraphale 761552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear a kelly green shirt on St. Patrick's day, because I'm vaguely Irish (I think all white Canadians have a bit of Irish in them) but that's about it. I actively avoid "seasonal" colours, but maybe that's because I'm the exact opposite of matchy-matchy -- whatever you'd call that! But I don't mind it on others. You look cute in your orange top. I'm just itching to paint a jack-o-lantern face on your baby bump. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-dressing-in-holiday-themes#post-761508 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 23:44:10 +0000 Atlantia 761508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I usually will add some red around the holidays, but that is because ruby red is a favorite color of mine. I really love your Valentine's Day outfit. I think sporting a holiday look is fun, even if it is a loud sweater. All the better, of course, if it is a stylish nod like you're sporting. But I think people who purposely don't dress for the holidays are just looking for excuses not to get in the spirit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-dressing-in-holiday-themes#post-761495 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 23:29:10 +0000 DonnaF 761495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I DO like my orange polished cotton blazer, so wearing it late this month with black has been an excuse to extend its wearing season. But I thought orange and black was to show support for the Giants! After tomorrow's parade, I will retire it until spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-dressing-in-holiday-themes#post-761468 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 23:05:38 +0000 Raisin 761468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't do it usually, but you look sweet! I am however, dressing up for Halloween this year at the request of my 5 year old. In fact we all are...the 5 yr old is Mario, my 5 month old is Toad, I am Princess Peach and DH is Yoshi....we'll be quite the bunch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-dressing-in-holiday-themes#post-761456 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 22:43:08 +0000 Marley 761456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh Natalie - you look so great in all of these outfits! In fact, you are changing my mind about dressing in holiday themes! I generally avoid it like the plague! I *do* "dress" my nails for each holiday however. For example, this week I am sporting orange nail polish with a black crackle finish over the top - and I'm loving it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-dressing-in-holiday-themes#post-761453 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 22:39:33 +0000 Jjsloane 761453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find it fun as long as it's done tastefully like you have done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-dressing-in-holiday-themes#post-761444 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 22:19:38 +0000 moira 761444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For a brief second I was terrified you meant those hideous sweaters with stuff on them.<br /> You look darling in both of these.<br /> They are an ironic nod to the season but still look very fashionable on their own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-dressing-in-holiday-themes#post-761395 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 20:35:32 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 761395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I decided that I'd dress in a Halloween theme at the dog show this past Sunday. You can't really appreciate my tiny witch hat but that's what's on my head. Also I'm wearing a tiny skull pendent and blood red earrings. </p> <p>And of course, my spirit supporters. They didn't wear their wings in the ring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-dressing-in-holiday-themes#post-761384 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 20:16:59 +0000 biscuitsmom 761384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think its fun, as long as it's not overdone </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-dressing-in-holiday-themes#post-761371 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 20:07:25 +0000 Gaylene 761371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I'm not sure if a smallish snowman pin on the label of a jacket really counts as seasonal dressing, so I think I'd have to put myself in the "nope" category.</p> <p>But I get a kick out of looking at those people who do give a nod to the occasion by wearing something that fits the holiday. They brighten my day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-dressing-in-holiday-themes#post-761356 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 19:55:05 +0000 rachylou 761356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your Halloween outfit! I enjoy a little holiday spirit!</p> <p>Admittedly I don't do much. I wear some Santa barettes at x-mas, and only wear green on St. Paddy's so I don't get pinched. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-dressing-in-holiday-themes#post-761350 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 19:40:55 +0000 Sylvie 761350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't like dressing in holiday themes but I would do it if my outfits looked as classy as yours. Your outfits could be worn on non-holidays as well and no one would bat an eye. That's why they work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-dressing-in-holiday-themes#post-761346 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 19:25:53 +0000 Mo 761346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do enjoy this and have been doing it forever it seems. I will say, working in a tourist town, when it's quite busy during those holidays, and dressing up while at work is most of the fun. Not sure I'd do it so much if I didn't work in a bar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-dressing-in-holiday-themes#post-761340 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 19:01:07 +0000 celia 761340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Answering your question is not so much of like it or not but somehow in the 'special days' I always get the urge to dress in different colors than the ones of the days.I guess my subconscious is a rebel :)</p> <p>You look adorable, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-dressing-in-holiday-themes#post-761338 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 18:55:49 +0000 annagybe 761338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been wearing my silver spiderweb necklace with my scrubs at work since Saturday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-dressing-in-holiday-themes#post-761335 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 18:45:40 +0000 texstyle 761335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like to be festive and dress festive (just in a subtle, non-traditional way). I'm using a color combo of chartruese green, creamy ivory, gold, and touches of deep bronze for my Thanksgiving/Christmas decor this year - and now I'm thinking of some outfits incorporating these colors too - so I think you've inspired me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-dressing-in-holiday-themes#post-761326 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 18:40:59 +0000 Anonymous 761326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's fun! I do not have the occasion to do it, other than the ode to red (and black - not green) at my job's Holiday party, but I would totally go for it if I had a different job. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-dressing-in-holiday-themes#post-761324 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 18:39:29 +0000 Anonymous 761324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like to give a nod to the holidays by wearing red on Valentine's Day and Christmas, green on St. Patrick's Day, etc. I don't, however, wear the traditional color combos together (red with green, orange with black, etc.) nor do I wear anything that has a holiday design on it. That looks too much like what an elementary school teacher would do. It's not a look I want to embrace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-dressing-in-holiday-themes#post-761320 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 18:36:36 +0000 Transcona Shannon 761320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dressing in holiday themes isn't my cup of tea - but you look so darned great in your outfits Natalie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-dressing-in-holiday-themes#post-761311 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 18:24:09 +0000 Ingunn 761311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If everyone looked as sweet and classy as you do while dressing in seasonal outfits, I would vote a big yay! This is fun and creative without going overboard at all. But theme sweaters? Not so much, for me anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-like-dressing-in-holiday-themes#post-761310 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 18:22:15 +0000 goldenpig 761310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just posted a pumpkin and black outfit today for Halloween:<br /> <a href="http://goldenpig.lookfab.com/post/wiw-1030-the-great-pumpkin-wrachel-roy-tree-skirt-witch-booties" rel="nofollow">http://goldenpig.lookfab.com/p.....ch-booties</a></p> <p>And I've done others too:<br /> Red, White and Blue for July 4:<br /> <a href="http://goldenpig.lookfab.com/post/wiw-happy-july-4-red-white-and-blue" rel="nofollow">http://goldenpig.lookfab.com/p.....e-and-blue</a><br /> Hearts and red for Valentine's Day:<br /> <a href="http://goldenpig.lookfab.com/post/wiw-valentines-day-1" rel="nofollow">http://goldenpig.lookfab.com/p.....ines-day-1</a></p> <p>Day Vies mentioned in my other thread that she tries to avoid orange and black together. So I was wondering if anyone else is as cheesy as I am and likes to get in the holiday mood by dressing in theme colors? I mean, I'm not dressing in tacky Christmas sweaters or anything, but the matchy matchy side of me likes giving a subtle nod to the holiday, it's kind of fun! I'm thinking this coming year I may even try Thanksgiving (orange and brown), Christmas (red and green) and St. Patrick's (green) too! What do you guys think--do you like to get in the holiday spirit or do you think it's silly? </p>
