And your red dress outfit is also very festive! Suits you perfectly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule-deux/page/2#post-1113894 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 15:09:06 +0000 Beth Ann 1113894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, UF, I just created another Holiday capsule outfit with the b/w print skirt.&nbsp; This time, I'm adding a black t-neck and oodles and oodles of pearls!&nbsp; Solid bottoms are a mainstay, but a few patterned skirts and colored pants can open up lots of other possibilities.&nbsp; Pre YLF, I relied almost totally on black and denim bottoms and printed tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule-deux/page/2#post-1113888 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 14:59:37 +0000 unfrumped 1113888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you've outdone yourself. I like the dressinessbut not over-the-top looks you've created. </p> <p>The print skirt continues to be fantastic--has it seemed that way to you?<br /> It's only about a year since I ventured into "notable" print skirts, and it has been really fun. I worried that I should stick to solid neutrals, and I still need to have those, but now prints are on my radar! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule-deux/page/2#post-1113848 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 11:52:44 +0000 Aquamarine 1113848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely post....thank you for sharing your thoughts on incorporating the colors and symbolism of the holiday in your outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule-deux/page/2#post-1113842 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 11:13:11 +0000 RunswithDolphins 1113842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed your holiday capsule posts while I was away a week ago and just stumbled upon them now.&nbsp; What a great idea!&nbsp; I love that you're adding a little festive spirit to your outfits without being obvious or resorting to novelty items.&nbsp; That red dress is amazing on you!&nbsp; Thanks so much for the holiday inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule-deux#post-1107780 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 16:30:50 +0000 Anonymous 1107780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann, your post was so beautiful that it pricked tears to my eyes! I was expecting to see regular "festive" party wear, but this was a real treat. I so enjoyed the symbolism, which is something I can understand! The skirt in the first outfit is divine (pun intended) on you, and that red dress took my breath away, along with the accompanying shoes. Even the humble brown of your boots was elevated to new heights. The star earrings are a nice touch, and I will always adore you in purple. Joyeux Noel! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule-deux#post-1107709 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 14:35:33 +0000 Shirley 1107709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are an inspiration. I am going to start tomorrow. The first outfit is gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule-deux#post-1107679 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 13:03:49 +0000 Beth Ann 1107679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Time to go put on some more Advent purple.&nbsp; I get to sing music of the season this morning, too!&nbsp; </p> <p>I've enjoyed getting glimpses into your Christmases past ---<br />Oh, Mandipa:&nbsp; I had the reindeer earrings and Christmas tree shoes.&nbsp; Yep.&nbsp; I did.&nbsp; As an adult!</p> <p>I think I've been slightly influenced by y'all participating the Album challenge, although I'm stopping short of......."If baby Jesus were on an album cover, what would it look like?"&nbsp; lol.</p> <p>Somehow, as that massive storm passed across the Continent, it completely missed Chicago!&nbsp; So --- no holiday white this morning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule-deux#post-1107656 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 07:40:26 +0000 Scarlet 1107656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great. That red dress on you is GORGEOUS! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule-deux#post-1107610 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 06:04:02 +0000 Gigi 1107610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have nailed the Advent purple! It looks like exactly the same shade I have seen in Advent wreaths. I love your idea of taking a theme (Christ born in a manger, the stars in the sky) and using that as a springboard for an outfit. I sometimes struggle with putting together an outfit simply due to the sheer number of possible combinations, but having a theme like this in mind can help to organize them to get you started. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule-deux#post-1107576 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 04:57:35 +0000 ManidipaM 1107576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a brilliant idea, and so elegantly done. I confess I typically used to resort to novelty earrings most years. So definitely borrowing inspiration from you.</p> <p>Especially loving the gorgeous deep red and chestnutty shoes. So warm and gorgeous and festive and uplifting... and not a hint of mrs klaus (sorry, my phobia is showing). That's my favourite for day to party-tonight dressing in deep December. Wow! You're knocking my socks off.</p> <p>And thanks for the lesson on purple. I didn't know that for years of being steeped in Christian lore! I do so love purple in winter, though I need to wait for more reddish (ha, I like to say royal!) versions for flattery. You are so lucky to look stunning in the straight-up shade. Loving the tonal top and topper. You look fab.</p> <p>And yes, the delightful print on that first outfit. Reminds me of wrapping presents and trimming trees and painting backdrops for the Xmas concerts... thanks for that: it reminded me of some of my few good memories of school. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule-deux#post-1107571 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 04:43:47 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1107571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful set of outfits for the week. You are especially stunning in the red dress and roasting-chestnuts pumps! All of these are just gorgeous, though, and understatedly festive. You are definitely hitting your goal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule-deux#post-1107552 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 04:19:26 +0000 Beth Ann 1107552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm back from shopping 3 separate Kohl's to find the one coat in the world that my DD wanted.&nbsp; It's. Lime. Green.&nbsp; Well, my daughter is Chinese, so she didn't inherit my coloring and she rocks it.&nbsp; She'll be so happy!</p> <p>It is so nice to return to encouragement from the forum!&nbsp; I'll have to get up early to dress&nbsp; tomorrow, but I'm going to warm up by viewing a few posts before I say goodnight..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule-deux#post-1107518 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 03:41:36 +0000 Marley 1107518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Beth Ann, what a great idea!&nbsp; I may just have to try this myself this next week!&nbsp; Hello to my skirt twin in #1!&nbsp; You know, I wore my burgundy sweater with that skirt a couple of weeks ago - and really liked the pairing.&nbsp; The neckline of yours is so pretty - and you look great in this color!&nbsp; I LOVE your "chestnuts roasting . . . " pumps in #2!&nbsp; Just gorgeous and this color of red is another one that is great on you.&nbsp; The purple in the next outfit is an outstanding color for you!&nbsp; I love, love, love that coat - just beautiful!&nbsp; I think that I like this outfit best sans that scarf, but I know that cold temps can pretty much prompt anyone to wrap a scarf around&nbsp;their neck - and this one looks great in the outfit - but I like the simplicity of it without the scarf.&nbsp; Wonderful set of outfits!&nbsp; Thank you for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-capsule-deux#post-1107501 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 03:19:13 +0000 Neel 1107501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful thought process and very festive indeed.
