I saw it earlier today but didn't get a chance to comment. The Wed outfit is divine, I love the colors! The Sat outfit ia awesome too. It's fun to see your casual side </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-14-9#post-116683 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 03:12:06 +0000 Tanya 116683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, wow and wow Kristine, you look fantastic. Every outfit is amazing, but Wednesday and Tuesday steal the show for me. I would wear that Tuesday outfit in a hearth beat. And you look great in that cropped jacket combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-14-9#post-116543 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 20:13:33 +0000 medusa 116543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristen, I saw that you mentioned that you've been exercising and losing weight again. Congrats! That must feel good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-14-9#post-116522 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 19:38:09 +0000 Anonymous 116522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As I was looking at your pictures I was thinking what a fun friend you would be because you are always smiling and having fun. I love your color schemes and talent for putting together outfits. Keep up the good work. (And keep having fun!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-14-9#post-116508 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 19:08:12 +0000 Kristen 116508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hee, I am so glad I pulled the twirly skirt out of the donate pile; it's got such a great line and drape it's impossible not to find a fun outfit for it.</p> <p>Debora and Kyle, it's funny that one of you mentioned having fun and the other noted the work -- because for me, getting dressed in the morning is a combo of both. I plan at least 20-30 minutes in the morning to just put all the pieces together including photographs, and I do that because I *enjoy* doing that. It's a great creative and problem-solving outlet for me, and I like starting off the day using both sides of my brain. </p> <p>Lena, the slip was just a short half-slip from Target. And the nails are OPI's Lincoln Park After Midnight. I am crazy about that purple-black shade! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-14-9#post-116383 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 09:19:26 +0000 Lena 116383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. Kristen, I would love to have your effortless style when I grow up :)</p> <p>What kind of slip are you wearing with the twirly skirt? I need to finally get one. </p> <p>I can't get Tuesday's belted outfit out of my head! The shape and the colors are incredible. Also, love your dark nail polish!</p> <p>From one hat lover to another - high five!<br /> And stay warm! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-14-9#post-116350 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 04:54:02 +0000 Jean Gray 116350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristen, I love reading your blog. You're so much fun! Twirly skirts ARE fun!<br /> My favorites are the date night and Saturday outfits. (Though they are all great!) LOVE that hat on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-14-9#post-116341 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 04:37:45 +0000 mummy2thea 116341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristen what an awsome week of outfits. I love the friday dress that you switched for dinner date. I also think the short jacket on Saturday looks great on you, the whole outfit with the hat is so stylish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-14-9#post-116338 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 04:32:06 +0000 shana 116338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristen, every single outfit is fantastic! I am also a fan of Wednesday &amp; Saturday - the hat is adorable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-14-9#post-116336 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 03:55:54 +0000 Kristine 116336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful outfits! I especially love Wednesday's, the color of that sweater is so pretty on you. And Tuesday's blue stockings!! Very cool and inspiring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-14-9#post-116319 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 02:09:49 +0000 Kyle 116319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you've now inspired me to try some belts and make them work for me. I love your outfits...the ladies are right in their high praise. One thing I admire about your style is that it is thoughtful but appears effortless. I know there is work and planning that goes into what you wear, but you make it look easy. That's a talent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-14-9#post-116313 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 01:56:04 +0000 Debora 116313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristen, you look wonderful every day of the week! I think my favorite is Wednesday, also. Every time I view your posts, I'm struck by how much FUN you have with fashion. You are an inspiration for all of us. Love how your kitty manages to make his way into one of the photos every week! He's such a ham! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-14-9#post-116292 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 01:31:39 +0000 yublocka 116292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a treat to peruse all these outfits as I sit here eating brekkie. Yum!! My fave is your twirly skirt with the sweater, belt and booties. Its a sweet combination that I just don't think would look the same with any element missing. I'm still loving your statement jacket too!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-14-9#post-116289 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 01:25:12 +0000 Queen Mum 116289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>great outfits- my faves are the dress and the skirt. I just love you in a skirt or dress. I think the cropped jacket is great too the way you have it styled.<br /> stay warm! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-14-9#post-116283 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 01:17:01 +0000 Kristen 116283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isabel, wow, thank you! I agree, YLF is a treasure trove of being able to see so many styles on so many different types of women.'</p> <p>Marianna, it was the Russian Tea Room across from the Art Institute, same one you are thinking of. The tea service is every afternoon 2:30-4:30. Very nice!</p> <p>Juli, I did see your blog comment, thank you! I was waiting to get to my husband's computer so I could confirm. The iPhone/iPod app is simply called C25K (Couch to 5K). It's $2.99 and totally worth every 299 pennies. The programmer does frequent updates, and I think it's at its best version yet.</p> <p>Tricia, to be honest I really love that new dress from Tuesday, it was one of my favorites too. I'm looking forward to finding new ways to wear it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-14-9#post-116280 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 00:57:36 +0000 Tricia 116280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look great but I'm totally blown away by Tuesday and Wednesday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-14-9#post-116272 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 00:15:31 +0000 julijuli 116272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Kristin,</p> <p>You look fantastic all week! I love your outfits and the way you use accessories!<br /> I did post on your blog, because I wanted to find out what the ipod application is that you're using to help on the Couch to 5K project. I'm thinking of starting that and would love to have something that reminds me when it is time to run/walk! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-14-9#post-116271 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 00:14:35 +0000 marianna 116271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh Russian Tea Room? I know a Russian Tea Time downtown? If it's the one I'm thinking of, I LOVE that restaurant. I've never done tea time there, but the food is really good and tastes pretty authentic too. If this is a different Russian Tea Room I am *very* interested!</p> <p>I adore your Saturday outfit. So Chicago chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-14-9#post-116268 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 00:09:03 +0000 Kristen 116268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Renata, are you kidding, I am THRILLED the cropped jacket works for you! I love the ones I have and I want to use them more. With longer tops looks like the right proportion.</p> <p>Thanks, Louise! I wish I could wear the hat at work, but I have fun with it over the weekend when I can.</p> <p>Eeee, Angie! 3 KILLER ratings; it was a very good week! I think I am about to discover with all my lengthened pants that it's not pants in general that don't flatter me, it's ones that are short and need flats. The ones in Monday's require a heel, and are simply a flattering cut from Semantiks.<br /> By the way, the green sweater isn't as snug now as it was when I tried it last month because I'm exercising again and heading back down the scale again. Also, I realized it fits better with a cami not a long-sleeved top under it. </p> <p>Laura, I knew you were going to like that belt. I think it's something that will go with my still-elusive tunic! :)</p> <p>Rute, thanks, the highlights are new so I am glad they are looking good. Sometimes I think it's too dark, but I just need to trust my colorist. She knows her stuff!</p> <p>Jean, the hat is weekends-only, alas, but they will get more mileage now that we are in full-on winter.</p> <p>Taylor, you have to let me know when AT has more new purple in; I love their shades of it more than any other store. </p> <p>Medusa, thanks! I'd forgotten how much fun casual wear could be, so I had a ball getting dressed on Saturday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-14-9#post-116266 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 00:03:21 +0000 Isabel 116266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG ! Do you ever look so-so ? You look fantastic in each outfit...not just ok or mediocre, but FANTASTIC ! I am so glad I found a site where there are real women, with real lives, in real sizes that aren't in their tweens and look freakin' amazing !! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-14-9#post-116257 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 23:12:59 +0000 medusa 116257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WEDNESDAY! I love your Wednesday outfit. Saturday is also killer. Great week, Kristen! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-14-9#post-116249 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 22:47:46 +0000 taylor 116249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristen, You are so FAB...you just look so great in everything. I love how you layer your dresses...smart...may have to steal that:) And I have said it before....If I wore puple the way you do...I would never take it off..KILLER </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-14-9#post-116222 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 20:50:22 +0000 greenglove 116222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristen,<br /> Great week- I love it all.<br /> Wed. and Sat. are my favorites- you look soo great in that hat- wear more!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-14-9#post-116194 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 19:08:09 +0000 rute 116194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is wednesday... love it! Love your hair, you have gorgeous highlights! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-14-9#post-116192 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 18:52:46 +0000 Laura 116192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have the absolute best boot collection -- of course the Camutos are amazing, and the LC's as well. My favorite outfit is the one with the belt from your sister-in-law too. It's very very Kristen! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-14-9#post-116174 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 18:07:48 +0000 Angie 116174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristen, you mentioned a little while ago that you don’t look as good in slacks as you do in frocks. It’s a myth! That first outfit gets a KILLER rating. You look fabulous in slacks. Now no more myths! </p> <p>(Doubling up on tights is the way to go. I do that all the time – under my jeans too). </p> <p>You look KILLER in that hat. So cute I can’t stand it. Love that outfit. It gets a KILLER rating too. </p> <p>My favourite outfit is Wednesday. I really like you in a belt. Just. So. Flattering. That’s the BR top that I felt looked a little snug, but it looks KILLER in that outfit. The colour is sublime. </p> <p>So looking stylish in the snow can be done. Swapping out shoes is something I do too. You are inspirational Kristen! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-14-9#post-116165 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 17:44:37 +0000 Louise 116165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Once again a great week you look so warm and stylish. Again loving the layered tights and the hat was fab x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-14-9#post-116135 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 15:50:52 +0000 Misia 116135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh boy, you gonna hate me, but I LOVE that cropped jacket on you, spacially with bottom layer, I absolutely love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kristen-outfits-14-9#post-116133 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 15:43:10 +0000 Kristen 116133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you were wondering how to dress office business casual in subfreezing temperatures, look no further! :)</p> <p>Monday: first day of the Arctic chill, and I am clearly not used to it; I bundled up in a big way! Black pants, fuschia ribbed turtleneck, tweed M+O statement jacket.<br /> <a href="http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.com/2010/01/monday-first-of-turtleneck-parade.html" rel="nofollow">http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.....arade.html</a></p> <p>Tuesday: still bitterly cold, but no snow or salt so I can still wear fashion boots outside. New sweater dress from BR Outlet, purple turtleneck, layered teal and black floral tights, black Vince Camuto cowboy boots, and a lovely belt gifted by my sister-in-law.<br /> <a href="http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.com/2010/01/tuesday-new-sweater-dress.html" rel="nofollow">http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.....dress.html</a></p> <p>Wednesday: Wool sweater, ponte knit skirt, and layered tights once again save the day. This is a new BR sweater in a fabulous pine color, paired with a silky mustard paisley scarf from Target, and I switched into my grey patent Franco Sarto oxford booties once I was in the office.<br /> <a href="http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.com/2010/01/wednesday-twirly.html" rel="nofollow">http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.....wirly.html</a></p> <p>Thursday: it started snowing the night before, and kept snowing all day and all night. Eight inches total. I joked at work that I was wearing the sartorial equivalent of curling up under a blanket on my couch and drinking cocoa. Which is what I wish I could have done instead of sitting in my cube!<br /> <a href="http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.com/2010/01/thursday-i-wish-i-were-on-my-couch.html" rel="nofollow">http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.....couch.html</a></p> <p>Friday: Had a meeting with VPs, and then dinner out with Hubby, so I wore a dress and scarf combo that worked with and without my Kohls brown corduroy jacket. This might be my favorite outfit of the week, if only because it photographed the best. LOL!<br /> <a href="http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.com/2010/01/friday-brown-me-up-brown-me-down.html" rel="nofollow">http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.....-down.html</a></p> <p>Saturday: Went downtown for an afternoon at the Art Institute and a tea service at the Russian Tea Room. I built my entire outfit around being able to wear a cute hat indoors and out, to save myself the agony of dealing with my hair in such varying temperatures. Also, it's one of the few types of events where I get to play with the jacket-and-jeans smart casual look, so I had fun with that too!</p> <p>Question: I have been trying not to buy cropped jackets anymore because they don't really look right on my pair shape, but I inherited a bunch from Shopping Friend, and I adore the quality, texture, and variety of them. If I pair them with longer tops like I did here, do you think they can work? (This probably isn't a good example because the sides ended up crooked in each photo unfortunately...) </p> <p><a href="http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.com/2010/01/saturday-museum-winter-wear.html" rel="nofollow">http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.....-wear.html</a></p> <p>Next week: all my inherited pants are back from the tailor after being lengthened, so I am going to start incorporating them into my rotation. The weatherman says it is supposed to get up into the 30s for a string of "mild" days. Woohoo, heatwave! </p>
