Killer for sure. Those pearls are beautiful. </p> <p>You might be frustrated with your hair Beth Ann, but it looks fab to me.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm loving #3 too. More subtly festive, but still extremely well put together in an appropriately relaxed way.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hope your Papa is recovering well. Bet you sang like a bird over the holidays too. Much love. xo</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-crunch-time#post-1415374 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 04:22:54 +0000 karymk 1415374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so pulled together at the most stressful time of the year! I have defaulted so bad to my EF skirted leggings with a a black JCrew cashmere tee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-crunch-time#post-1415351 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 01:34:55 +0000 Beth Ann 1415351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Merry Christmas, all!&nbsp; I'm relaxing by the fire at my parent's house now. I've got a long day of travel ahead of me tomorrow, so I'm catching up here before I move to Kansas for a few days.</p> <p>The pencil skirt is winning the most love -- no surprise, since it's one of my favorite silhouettes. I'm also a lover of bold, graphic florals.</p> <p>Ornella: This vest (gillet?) is designed specifically for women, so it accommodates the bust and nips in at the waist.&nbsp; Really, I should develop a pattern and sew one --- they're not hard, exactly, although the tailoring would take some time.&nbsp; I'd love to have a tartan vest, and maybe one in a bright color, and one in charcoal tweed, and one............. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-crunch-time#post-1415341 Thu, 25 Dec 2014 22:37:58 +0000 Ornella 1415341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your holiday outfit is great. Yay for repeating it!!</p> <p>I like the men's vest and the supporting outfit. Btw, is it really men's? In any case, you could try men's departments for longer version, no?</p> <p>And yes - the boots and hair totally work.</p> <p>Happy Christmas!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-crunch-time#post-1415333 Thu, 25 Dec 2014 21:25:30 +0000 lyn67 1415333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them all! Each very appropiate to it's time and purpose! You won't ask which is my fave, do you? (for your help, we are both&nbsp;stretcshy tube skirt fans:-), and yours here is the most gorgeous print ever!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-crunch-time#post-1415277 Thu, 25 Dec 2014 05:00:24 +0000 Beth Ann 1415277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Back from singing (and accompanying, which is scarier) in two services.&nbsp; Next it's on to packing and making the sugarplum ring for Christmas breakfast.&nbsp; </p> <p>I think I'll have to post later about my issues with editing my outfits for travel.&nbsp; I'm a girl who likes her options!</p> <p>Thanks for the encouragement, all!&nbsp; Merry Christmas and Happy last day of Chanukah! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-crunch-time#post-1415275 Thu, 25 Dec 2014 04:17:26 +0000 Suz 1415275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Sveta said.

Love your b/w pencil skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-crunch-time#post-1415195 Wed, 24 Dec 2014 17:55:29 +0000 unfrumped 1415195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those work for me! Still love that skirt.<br />Burgundy is fab on you. Also I think the burgundy in top #3 nods to the hue and tone in the brown boots as well and so all goes together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-crunch-time#post-1415181 Wed, 24 Dec 2014 16:38:34 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1415181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in love with that black and white pencil skirt in the first outfit Beth Ann - fabulous outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-crunch-time#post-1415179 Wed, 24 Dec 2014 16:15:13 +0000 Alassë 1415179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 really pops on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-crunch-time#post-1415160 Wed, 24 Dec 2014 15:20:04 +0000 Beth Ann 1415160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today is grocery shopping, practicing music for tonight, cleaning, packing, cooking and preparing my Dad's present -- and I'm a little sick.&nbsp; You see, this is why I need the 12 days of Christmas.&nbsp; It's easy to miss the whole, "Oh, gee, that's right, don't forget the <i>baby in the manger</i>," part of the holiday.&nbsp; The moment all the wrapping paper is cleaned up is the moment my heart really feels the celebration!</p> <p>Today, my outfit will be <i>anything I'm not packing for the trip or wearing to church tonight.</i>&nbsp; I will add sparkly earrings and wear a green tunic for my loungewear tonight.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-crunch-time#post-1415128 Wed, 24 Dec 2014 13:10:59 +0000 Jaime 1415128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my - I thought the 8 days of Chanukah were quite long enough! You look terrific in all three outfits&nbsp;and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas holiday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-crunch-time#post-1415125 Wed, 24 Dec 2014 13:04:12 +0000 PalmFronds 1415125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe the pics don't show it but your hair looks effortlessly lovely to me in the photos. LOVE that skirt outfit, wow! You look great in all of them though:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-crunch-time#post-1415115 Wed, 24 Dec 2014 12:12:38 +0000 Aquamarine 1415115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in all outfits and ready for the final holiday lap...deep breath! I love the repeat from last year especially. If it ain't broke...Your hair looks good to me, but I hear your frustration. Sometimes just a small difference in cut can change how it behaves. I struggle with this too, and try to "catch" my hairdresser before she deviates too much (I really love her work in general). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-crunch-time#post-1415111 Wed, 24 Dec 2014 10:57:15 +0000 ManidipaM 1415111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That skirt. Sigh. Instant glamour and you say it is so comfy too! Love, love, love it! </p> <p>I am also crushing on the shiny slipper flats. Good strategy putting your best foot forward while unhappy with your crowning glory! Lesson well taught, in three classes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-crunch-time#post-1415094 Wed, 24 Dec 2014 06:50:03 +0000 Sveta 1415094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look adorable in all of them Beth Ann! Honestly I don't see any problems with the haircut - at least in the pictures - so maybe it is not as bad as you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-crunch-time#post-1415083 Wed, 24 Dec 2014 06:01:36 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1415083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Three awesome outfits, Beth Ann! You are on a holiday roll. It sounds super busy, but also like you've got it all under control. I really love that skirt outfit. Your hair is looking fine in 2 and 3, so hope it's not too hard to deal with till you can get the cut you want. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/holiday-crunch-time#post-1415081 Wed, 24 Dec 2014 05:52:13 +0000 Beth Ann 1415081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a good thing that I enjoy not only Advent, but the celebration of Christmastide.&nbsp; We've embraced celebrating the 12 days (if not the annoying song).&nbsp;&nbsp; It keeps me from panic as my list remains long and time grows short!</p> <p>I'm preparing to travel to visit family (which will be stressful, even when it's good), and to sing two services tomorrow night, stuffing dinner in between, and a gift exchange and making of The Sugar Plum Ring after the last service.<br />I'm so glad I thought through my holiday outfits!&nbsp; These aren't groundbreaking, but I've been able to feel comfortable and put together with little effort.<br /><b>My biggest frustration is my hair -- I've been fighting a bad haircut that I'll just have to live with until January.&nbsp; Aargh!</p> <p></b>1. Sunday!&nbsp; This is a repeat from last year.&nbsp; Everything is stretch, with a fluid take on traditional.&nbsp; Love me a pencil skirt!&nbsp; This is a repeat of one of last year's holiday outfit.&nbsp; This is last years pic, too.&nbsp; You can tell because my <b>haircut is better!</b>&nbsp; Sigh.</p> <p>2.&nbsp; I've had just a few voice students at home this week.&nbsp; This outfit made it easy to go from holiday wrapping and making peppermint bark to teaching.&nbsp; I love this menswear vest and would love a longer, looser one in a deeper color.&nbsp; The flats are subtly shiny and the burgundy (and shiny earrings) are my nod to the season.</p> <p>3.&nbsp; Shopping frenzy!&nbsp; I've got lots of last minute errands to run. Fortunately, it's rather mild weather.&nbsp; I'm wearing a mixed media (fleece and nylon) moto style jacket over a light striped tee, <b>with black skinnies and brown Clark's boots</b>.&nbsp; Yep.&nbsp; I wouldn't have worn brown with black two years ago, but I've learned that, gee, my hair is brown and makes a natural bookend!&nbsp;&nbsp; I've rolled the pants to show more of the laces of the boots. The scarf adds a bit of holiday color, but the flash is making it seem brighter.&nbsp; The top and scarf actually harmonize fairly well, without actually matching.</p> <p>Time to rest up before the final push!&nbsp; Happy Holidays, everyone!<br /><b></b> </p>
