I love an oversized look, so I like the long overcoat :). The column of mustard kind of steals the show because it's so lively and happy looking, but everything looks good to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/katerina%e2%80%99s-outerwear-challenge-1#post-2238381 Sat, 13 Nov 2021 08:24:40 +0000 Katerina 2238381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, I almost missed this addition to your post.<br /> I love both of these outfits. The monochrome beige is perfect in all ways and I wouldn’t change a thing. The mustard yellow is fun and vibrant on you, and the outfits is fun and interesting with the layered checked flannel and the fun tee peaking out. You simply can do no wrong! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/katerina%e2%80%99s-outerwear-challenge-1#post-2237996 Thu, 11 Nov 2021 21:42:20 +0000 Anonymous 2237996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA: &nbsp;#1 is a soft leather jacket used here with a mix of light neutrals and platinum sneakers. &nbsp;The small bag is a tan ostrich-skin print. &nbsp;The large bag was bought with the leather jacket, also soft leather. &nbsp;#2/3 almost a column of mustard with a lightweight mustard jacket worm with mustard pants, a Winnie-the-Pooh tee and black and white check flannel shirt. &nbsp;Shoes are old tan loafers. &nbsp;<br /><div>What do you think? &nbsp;Any comments or suggestions will be taken to heart, especially as the pants shown are some of the few full length pants I have for cold weather and will be worn often. &nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/katerina%e2%80%99s-outerwear-challenge-1#post-2237814 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 22:31:19 +0000 Anonymous 2237814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Katerina, suntiger and Angie. &nbsp;Suntiger you compliment my sweater coat. &nbsp;Angie, I love long cardigans, especially this chunky one. It is like wearing a warm cozy blanket. &nbsp;Do you feel that it needs chunky footwear?<br />I am so glad that the Icelandic dress works as a duster and it will also get worn as a dress, maybe with the navy long chunky cardigan for extra warmth.<br />I am not sure how I feel about the coat in #3. &nbsp;I have not worn it very often. &nbsp;Sometimes the length is needed. &nbsp;It has a difficult level of warmth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/katerina%e2%80%99s-outerwear-challenge-1#post-2237714 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 17:55:15 +0000 Angie 2237714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How creative of you to wear a dress as a duster! I'd like to see it zipped up as a dress too. Thumbs up!&nbsp;</p> <p>You rock long chunky cardigans, and are dead right to wear them at home to stay comfy and warm :)</p> <p>The coat in #3 looks a little big, unless you want to wear it over thick layers.

I love this Icelandic dress. It adds some pattern and color to my winter closet. It is also soft and warm and can be worn different ways. I am glad that it goes well with my hair which has had very little styling lately. It always shocks me to see how silver white it is. My mother, even at 80, was not nearly as white as I am now, but her mother was silver at 96 years old. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/katerina%e2%80%99s-outerwear-challenge-1#post-2237556 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 05:48:17 +0000 Anonymous 2237556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you shevia and Jenni. I made this a year of recycling clothing. That means lots of consignment and thrifting to recycle stuff. If you look regularly, you will find some gems. If they were smart, thrift shops kept the majority of their donations during the worst of the pandemic or what came in when they reopened. People were ready to give the good stuff away because they had the time to do closet clean outs and lots of people died who left closets to be cleaned out. I have been donating and consigning my own stuff, especially shoes. Sales provide much needed income for an organization of women who sponsor many scholarships. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/katerina%e2%80%99s-outerwear-challenge-1#post-2237555 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 05:43:58 +0000 rachylou 2237555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Icelandic dress with your hair is stunning(!!!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/katerina%e2%80%99s-outerwear-challenge-1#post-2237546 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 04:40:33 +0000 Jenni NZ 2237546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy you’re astounding in how you find all this amazing stuff at thrift and consignment!

The dress worm as topper in pic #2 looks like a very versatile piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/katerina%e2%80%99s-outerwear-challenge-1#post-2237506 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 00:44:10 +0000 Anonymous 2237506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Aquamarine and Brooklyn. &nbsp;The coat is a little big and has a belt for belting, which may help. &nbsp;It is an old Burberry, and even has shoulder pads. &nbsp;Because it is a Burberry I have not found a tailor willing to remove the shoulder pads, saying it could damage the integrity of the design. &nbsp;So I may continue wearing it as is if it is not too awful. &nbsp;The length has occasionally come in handy.the true color is most like the first photo. &nbsp;Shall I pass it on or wear it occasionally. &nbsp;It is beautifully made with a silk lining. &nbsp;The outer part has some wool in the blend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/katerina%e2%80%99s-outerwear-challenge-1#post-2237494 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 00:03:16 +0000 Brooklyn 2237494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I love the dress as a duster. Looks great. I like the second outfit too. The third coat looks a little big, but might be practical for layering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/katerina%e2%80%99s-outerwear-challenge-1#post-2237448 Tue, 09 Nov 2021 21:18:07 +0000 Aquamarine 2237448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Icelandic dress as a cardigan! Great idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/katerina%e2%80%99s-outerwear-challenge-1#post-2237446 Tue, 09 Nov 2021 21:15:51 +0000 Anonymous 2237446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes these days my outerwear is worn inside as well as out. That is the case for the first two examples here. Sometimes I need more outerwear over everything as in the last outfit. It was for early on a frosty morning. The first topper is a very heavy knit long wool cardi. The second is an Icelandic dress worn as a coat over jeans, a cotton sweater and with a small navy Guatemalan bag and larger burgundy tote. The last picture is of a long Burberry trench tossed on over everything in #2 for a frosty morning dental appointment.<br /> Almost everything is old . The Icelandic sweater dress is a recent consignment find. Does it look ok worn as a duster? Or should I zip it up and wear it as a dress as it was intended? What do you think of these? I will wear boots if needed. No snow accumulation here yet. </p> <p>ETA4-6. &nbsp;#4 is a soft leather jacket used here with a mix of light neutrals and platinum sneakers. &nbsp;The small bag is a tan ostrich skin print. &nbsp;The large bag was bought with the leather jacket, also soft leather. &nbsp;#5/6is almost a column of mustard with a lightweight mustard jacket worm with mustard pants, a Winnie-the-Pooh tee and black and white check flannel shirt.</p>
