Crew.&nbsp; Funny story... I came upon an open tab on my computer or ipad with these showing, I must have opened a find from here and forgot about it. No idea who may have posted it.&nbsp; But they struck me as something worth gambling on... so I did.&nbsp; I LOVE them.&nbsp; Perfect length with sneakers or the shooties... I love the wide legs with flats.&nbsp; Substantial denim.&nbsp; I have a black pair on their way as well.&nbsp; I think Carla also just ordered them.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-challenge-week-1#post-1981421 Tue, 11 Dec 2018 12:20:12 +0000 Aquamarine 1981421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great assortment of festive outfits.

Tempted to try them myself. &nbsp;Did you order your usual jeans size? &nbsp;As far as my participation in the challenge, I realized that I have very little left in my wardrobe that qualifies as holiday-ish - like nothing . &nbsp;I picked up one inexpensive red sweater the other week, and that's it. &nbsp; I don't necessarily need nor want to rectify that this year , but it did give me pause when I realized it...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-challenge-week-1#post-1980942 Sun, 09 Dec 2018 15:47:04 +0000 Elizabeth P 1980942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thanks ladies!</div><div><br /></div><div>Totally agree, <b>LaP</b>.&nbsp; Much as I love the season, the early over the top commercialization of the season gets old for me.&nbsp; Not much I can do about a lot of it, so have to ease into it my way!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Carla</b>, yes, these are the JCrew jeans.&nbsp; I hope they work for you.<br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-challenge-week-1#post-1980939 Sun, 09 Dec 2018 15:39:10 +0000 Carla 1980939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You achieved your goal of festive without being over the top. You look colourful in a happy Angiesque way!

You look fantastic in red. In fact, it's hard to pick a fave but I especially love 3. Those red booties really amp up the outfits!

Love the plaid pants with red in #3. I know what you mean about the first week of December. We cut a tree Friday afternoon and decorated it in the evening, so I'm juuust starting to feel festive. I think easing into the holidays is the right approach. Otherwise it feels old (or exhausting) before the season is even over.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-challenge-week-1#post-1980931 Sun, 09 Dec 2018 14:26:20 +0000 always trying 1980931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great holiday outfits.&nbsp; love the plaid pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-challenge-week-1#post-1980930 Sun, 09 Dec 2018 14:22:51 +0000 kkards 1980930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>all of these say holiday spirit to me....nice job!&nbsp;<br />i especailly like the red pointed toe shoes that you've matched to your sweater!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/festive-challenge-week-1#post-1980919 Sun, 09 Dec 2018 13:17:58 +0000 Elizabeth P 1980919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Well, as I now remember, I think at the end of November that dressing in a festive way is a great idea for December, but when it's time to put my money where my mouth is, it feels too early.&nbsp; So I had to start off gently.</div><div><br /></div><div>I generally keep this for work outfits, unless there is an occasion. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>1.&nbsp; Just to make a liar out of that previous statement... this was worn on a Sunday, figured it was time to bring out the red.&nbsp; Plus I want any excuse (ie the right weather) to wear my new shooties :)</div><div>2.&nbsp; Work... the sweater has slight shimmer in it.&nbsp; <br /></div><div>3.&nbsp; Work...&nbsp; just red, no sparkle.&nbsp; <br /></div><div>4.&nbsp; Work... we had our office lunch on a Friday, which is generally "casual day".&nbsp; So wore black jeans and this sweater with sequins on the front.</div><div>5.&nbsp; Saturday night... we have a tradition of spending an evening with a good friend prior to Christmas, and the girls help trim her tree. No shoes cuz I knew I'd be shoeless in her house.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I feel like this was a good ramping up week... met the challenge in a subdued way, amped it up when there was good reason to, and should be more ready next week to bring out more bling.</div><div><br /></div><div> All comments welcome!<br /></div> </p>
