They are match made in heaven for sure!<br />Love your casual holiday capsule, it suits you well. I cannot really see in the pictures: shine and sparkle are coming from what (aside from the jewellery)?<br />Satin of the cherry blouse?<br />I love the idea of a bit of the holiday cheer for every day but really have no idea what can I use from my wardrobe for this aside from my black sequin top...homework? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule/page/2#post-1104033 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 02:09:33 +0000 Day Vies 1104033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#6 looks VERY familiar, I adore the print on the blouse in #1. I also love the red black and white color scheme.<br />Now as far as creating holiday outfits for myself -- yep that's what I do. I like to have things ready to go especially since I expect my feelings to change. Sometimes I just like playing in my closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule/page/2#post-1103996 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 01:33:36 +0000 Suz 1103996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, how on earth did I miss this? It's spectacular! I <b>LOVE</b> this capsule. And you know what? It's exactly what I need. This year, I don't know if I have a single Christmas party to go to. (Pathetic, I know). I do have other holiday events to attend (this is a whole other story) but most of them will be beyond casual.&nbsp;</p> <p>The cherry blossom top and Munros with the white jeans outfit is just divine on you in both incarnations. I also really like the red jeans outfit -- you can donate them after the season if you like, but hurray for rescuing them from the bin for now! Every one of these is a winner, to my mind.&nbsp;</p> <p>Now i need to think -- do I have anything similar? Well...I do have my white jeans and my cranberry Munros. I can wear these with my Amber Sun colour block sweater. But it's not very festive, so I'll need to add something to that. Hmmm. Off to muse...And thank you for the inspiration.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule/page/2#post-1103985 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 01:22:36 +0000 Beth Ann 1103985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the encouragement to make my own little Christmas tradition!&nbsp; Years ago, by which I mean the 90's, I wore lots of flowy black pants, jewel tone tunics and sweaters, and and black velvet flats with Christmas trees embroidered on them.&nbsp; Actually, it was more tasteful than it sounds, but I'm trying to raise the bar!</p> <p>Rachylou:&nbsp; As Judy Garland sang....."Here we are, as in olden days, happy golden days of yore........"</p> <p>LaBelle:&nbsp; I bought the cherry blossom top this summer, and I did wear it then, too.&nbsp; It's sleeveless, and loose to the body, so It's fairly cool by itself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule#post-1103916 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 00:23:35 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1103916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love your looks! &nbsp; I had the same 'duh' moment too, when I looked at some of Day Vies outfits.... holiday wear and a little sparkle for everyday?? &nbsp; Whaaaaat??</p> <p>Talk about an epiphany! &nbsp; And yes, today, for the first time, kind of ever, I wore a beaded twinset just for fun, and not because I had something specific to dress for :)</p> <p>p.s. - I really love that cherry blossom top. &nbsp; Does it get much wear in warmer weather?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule#post-1103893 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 00:07:28 +0000 Caro in Oz 1103893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 is my pick - I like the proportions. Great outfits &amp; fun way of dressing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule#post-1103880 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 23:57:42 +0000 Jjsloane 1103880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea - you've inspired my next challenge - to dress holiday festive the rest of the month (even at work)! &nbsp;I think you have a nice selection of options, I prefer the tucked (#2) slightly to untucked.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule#post-1103809 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 21:19:20 +0000 rachylou 1103809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great and fun idea, Beth Ann! I get so obsessed with the warmth factor in winter... everyday festiveness never even crossed my mind. </p> <p>Although, in the old days winter was the social season. I did do evening dress in days of yore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule#post-1103666 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 17:30:57 +0000 carambola 1103666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in all of these! I love the blouse in 1/2 and don't have a preference for tucked vs. untucked. Really like 5 with the relaxed T and sparkly slipper flats. I'm glad you rescued&nbsp;the red jeans from the donate pile.&nbsp;They look fab and red pants can be such a fun pick-me-up every now and then.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule#post-1103653 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 17:22:27 +0000 merwoman 1103653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous BethAnn! I love those cherry blossoms. Am looking hard and originally I thought untucked looks best...but tucked is also great. I'm on the fence </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule#post-1103567 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 15:48:10 +0000 Angie 1103567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that you have a holiday capsule that you wear daily at this time of year. How delightfully festive you gorgeous creature. Love your attitude, Beth Ann.</p> <p>You know you had me at the white jeans. All outfits are fabulous but a special shoutout to&nbsp;&nbsp;#2. Killer deluxe. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule#post-1103481 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 14:04:03 +0000 VernieJane 1103481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These all look great, and kudos for daring to wear white jeans in winter--they look super cute for the holidays and you have officially inspired me! But why be afraid to look too fashion-y? Maybe you could inspire the other women in the group to make a little more effort and love themselves a little bit more! We are all worth looking and feeling great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule#post-1103474 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 13:54:16 +0000 Beth Ann 1103474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for taking the time to comment and encourage!&nbsp; </p> <p>Adelfa:&nbsp; I'll have to investigate "gaudete" Sunday.&nbsp; Growing up in a Presbyterian setting, Advent was observed but pretty simply.&nbsp; The church I'm in now has a tradition of wearing red for reformation Sunday.&nbsp; More than half of the congregation wore red that day.&nbsp; The visual was a better reminder of the remembrance of the day than any remarks from Pastor could be! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule#post-1103473 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 13:53:48 +0000 Astrid 1103473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a great little capsule, all your outfits look fantastic, Beth Ann! Festive, but not too much for everyday wear in december. I think it's a nice idea to raise some Christmas spirit and anticipation that way. <br />My family doesn't dress any special for the holidays, we just take care to wear something nice. That's why I've never planned any festive outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule#post-1103471 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 13:50:46 +0000 donnat 1103471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love these outfits. They really do have the holiday feel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule#post-1103469 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 13:47:27 +0000 Elizabeth P 1103469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great set of outfits Beth Ann!&nbsp; Love the idea of incorporating festive without going over the top.&nbsp; I love the dark red on you - that shirt in the first couple of photos is wonderful.&nbsp; Oh, I prefer it tucked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule#post-1103467 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 13:45:04 +0000 Parsley 1103467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of incorporating some holiday colors and feeling into everyday outfits, Beth Ann! All of these look good. The boyfriend blazer works well as a tuxedo jacket stand-in, and you look fabulous in red. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule#post-1103462 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 13:37:35 +0000 Alassë 1103462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these are subtle-y festive; great looks! I like the cherry blouse both ways. And the red jeans outfit has a sleek, minimal but powerful punch to it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule#post-1103362 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 06:22:13 +0000 jenanded 1103362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute all up Beth Ann but you are sparkling in 4! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule#post-1103356 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 06:07:53 +0000 Adelfa 1103356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, now I *have* to see you in pink for Gaudete Sunday! Although a lot of priests insist they're wearing rose, not pink.</p> <p>I too like your idea of being festive in an under the radar kind of way. Just lovely. I love the cherry blossom blouse but everything is wonderful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule#post-1103330 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 05:07:14 +0000 Beth Ann 1103330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aubergine and Jeanie and Neel:&nbsp; Sounds like the red jeans get a temporary reprieve!&nbsp; Thanks for taking the time to comment.</p> <p>E:&nbsp; I'm looking forward to seeing that brooch! &nbsp; For me, Advent is very special.&nbsp; It has spiritual significance of course, and much of the music of expectation is exquisitely beautiful.&nbsp; I don't have much pink in my wardrobe, but it would be interesting to theme clothing to the colors of the candles in the advent wreath:&nbsp; pink, purple and white.&nbsp; I do have purple and white!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule#post-1103303 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 04:45:21 +0000 E 1103303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that you're doing an everyday holiday capsule! Pretty soon I'll be breaking out my nutcracker brooch that my sister gave me last year (she gave them to everyone tied on their Christmas gifts, but I'm the only one who actually wore mine, lol).</p> <p>I often do semi themed dressing just for me (um, really, most of my life is spent getting dressed just for me), although not all of those themes are holiday related! On the actual day I like to dress in appropriate colours. But I love fall/winter and the advent season, so now I'm tempted to go through my closet and find the more holiday-ish pieces!</p> <p>I like your blouse both tucked and untucked: that print is just beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule#post-1103257 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 04:00:01 +0000 Neel 1103257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your tops!! I think the bottoms of your outfits make the outfit. White and red pants always look festive to my eyes! You have some great scarves! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule#post-1103256 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 03:59:58 +0000 Jeanie 1103256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun capsule! &nbsp;I think I like the blouse tucked. &nbsp;It just conveys a different attitude tucked that matches your expressions...does that sound crazy?? &nbsp;You must keep those red jeans...you look absolutely KILLER in those!! &nbsp;Those jeans look ready for a night on the town! &nbsp; The straight lines of the red jeans show off your curves in a very flattering way....am I allowed to say that? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule#post-1103249 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 03:53:39 +0000 Anonymous 1103249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you've done a great job of looking festive without being over the top! I especially love the top in #1-2. I also think you look wonderful in the red jeans and the shoes and necklace add just the right level of sparkle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule#post-1103229 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 03:39:43 +0000 Beth Ann 1103229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brenda:&nbsp; I hope to have a stronger voice by the weekend -- I've struggled with bronchitis and a sinus infection for almost a month.&nbsp; Sometimes I wish I carried my instrument in a case!</p> <p>UF:&nbsp; You've been doing some holiday outfit work of your own?&nbsp; I like your idea of adding a simple accessory -- I think the earrings here will see a lot of action for the holidays!</p> <p>JG:&nbsp; Thanks for the shout out for the shell!&nbsp; </p> <p>Shevia:&nbsp; I'm a fan of tucking myself, although it's a bit more casual, perhaps.</p> <p>Windchime:&nbsp; I do plan to post at least two more installments.&nbsp; For me, Christmas isn't over until Epiphany!</p> <p>Pil:&nbsp; I think white can also carry a holiday feel, as can green and burgundy.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule#post-1103187 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 03:06:54 +0000 Sarah Musselman 1103187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey everyone, my name is Sarah Musselman, and I'm a budding fashion<br /> blogger with hopes of one day joining the fashion world as a stylist or<br /> designer. I just began my blog and am looking for some feedback. Please<br /> let me know what you want to hear about and what you think I could<br /> possibly do to make my blog better for fashion beginners to fashion<br /> experts. This really means the world to me, and thank you so much for<br /> even taking the time to read this. Feel free to tell your friends at<br /> all, I really want to hear what all kinds of people thing because I'm<br /> always trying to make it better. Thank you so much from the bottom of my<br /> heart. My blog is located at sarahmusselman.blogspot.com Also I really like what you were talking about, Beth Ann. I am also a HUGE fan of the Munro booties, couldn't do without them. Red is a great fall color and I am also super in love with boyfriend blazers. I think your capsule is definitely looking good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule#post-1103183 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 03:04:06 +0000 pil 1103183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great idea, Beth Ann. Another "doh!" moment for me, but I don't really have red anymore. Or much sparkle for that matter. I'll have to ponder....<br /> On to your outfits! I prefer tucked to untucked in 1/2, I think because of the variation in lines. The pattern of the Hinge blouse is so interesting and the red jeans in 5 is a stealth way to be fashiony and not blend in - in true diva style :)<br /> Your Day Vies meetup outfit is gorgeous! Maybe a tuxedo jacket will make itself known to you...... </p>
