You look absolutely amazing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-dress-up/page/3#post-1870751 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 18:19:53 +0000 K.M. 1870751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback on the pumps! I love the silver color and the straps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-dress-up/page/3#post-1870741 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 18:01:25 +0000 Suz 1870741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>K.M. Thank you! And yes, it can be tough to challenge the environmental norm. But often worthwhile. </p> <p>The silver pumps are super comfortable! They have low block heels and stay on due to the straps. But they are fragile. I've touched them up a bit with nail polish but they do have a few scuff marks. However, they were very inexpensive and have served me for my few dressy occasions for a few years now.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-dress-up/page/3#post-1870713 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 17:21:57 +0000 K.M. 1870713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Coming late to this beautiful post... <b>Suz</b>, I was moved by how you described the doctor. I agree with <b>Joy</b> when she said: "It is a gift to others to make an effort." I work in a very casual environment when dressing up sometimes elicits strange vibes (like, I'm vain, or I'm spending too much on my clothes/appearance, or I'm misplacing my efforts, or I'm plain simply "overdressing" etc.) But your post shows that this kind of thoughtfulness is not only healthy self-care, but also care for others around us. <br />And yes, I agree: your outfit is beautiful and you look sparkling. (I'm drooling over your silver pumps. Are they comfortable?)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-dress-up/page/3#post-1870685 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 16:38:20 +0000 Suz 1870685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, <b>Beth Ann</b>! (So great to see you by the way). Well, the decorating is done in our house but the shopping and groceries are not done. As for the floors -- they could certainly use a good mop after DD got baking yesterday...sigh...just after we'd cleaned!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-dress-up/page/3#post-1870653 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 14:44:20 +0000 Beth Ann 1870653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your plan, Suz, as well as your outfit.&nbsp; &nbsp;A nice dinner at home is a beautiful way to celebrate the season, as well as honor your family and home.&nbsp; It can be special to stay home!&nbsp; Of course, I'd have to finish the decorating, and the laundry, and mop the kitchen floor before I got dressed up, but motivation to do that would be nice, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-dress-up/page/3#post-1870643 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 13:52:09 +0000 Suz 1870643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the lovely compliments and for the descriptions of your own outfits and photos. <b>The Cat,</b> I didn't (yet) tell the doctor how I appreciated her outfit, though I couldn't agree more with your point that it can make a person's day to hear that kind of thing. I confess I was feeling a bit shy since it was our first meeting. But I will be seeing her again and so I will tell her then. I think when I know her a bit better it will feel a bit more natural to say it.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Sal,</b> I'd be happy to share pro secco or tea or coffee and good for you, for setting out some festive beverages.&nbsp;</p> <p>A toast to all!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-dress-up/page/2#post-1870605 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 12:23:52 +0000 Anonymous 1870605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fabulous Suz! Here's my festive outfit for this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-dress-up/page/2#post-1870599 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 12:06:58 +0000 Jjsloane 1870599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous Suz! We are skirt twins, although I have not worn this one in awhile, maybe I'll break it out in your honor. LOVE to see everyone dressy. I so miss the days of having at least one cocktail dress-worthy occasion to go to. Darn this casualization! Can we blame the millennials (just kidding :)) ? Cheers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-dress-up/page/2#post-1870597 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 11:56:59 +0000 kkards 1870597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG....love how the necklace and the shoes mirror each other!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-dress-up/page/2#post-1870593 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 11:46:38 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1870593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Cat, those are good colors on you, and I love texture. Even if it’s too dark to see how nice you look, you feel nice—literally ;)<br /> Do you take part in any solstice celebrations, maybe not jumping over fires, but something? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-dress-up/page/2#post-1870589 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 10:58:37 +0000 Sisi 1870589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful !&nbsp;I was thinking of you this morning Suz. I was thinking that&nbsp;you are clever to celebrate Winter solstice. I am not keen to celebrate anything that has to do with Winter/cold weather, but then I realized that I am wrong and you are right.&nbsp; You made me think&nbsp;of an old book&nbsp;I read about being grateful for *anything*. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-dress-up/page/2#post-1870588 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 10:44:22 +0000 The Cat 1870588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>By the way, Suz, did you tell the specialist that you appreciated her outfit?</p> <p>Kind words and sincere compliments brighten the day, let others know that we see and appreciate their efforts, and create positive vibes that may benefit even third parties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-dress-up/page/2#post-1870587 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 10:32:17 +0000 Amy Isabella 1870587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW - a post just crammed full of gorgeous inspiration. You look amazing Suz - as always. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-dress-up/page/2#post-1870563 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 07:56:19 +0000 lyn67 1870563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this outfit, festive but not fuzzy I would say,&nbsp; I remember the skirt-and adore how the boat neck top makes a little place/cowl neck for&nbsp;the statement necklace on super slim &amp;looking fab yourself!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-dress-up/page/2#post-1870562 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 07:55:17 +0000 The Cat 1870562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A very pretty outfit, Suz--and a great reminder to dress up even for some meals at home. That's another way to show that we value and love our nearest and dearest and ourselves.</p> <p>When I saw this post, it was late in the evening here-- too late for making special efforts for yesterday. However, I can assure you that I kind of dress up most of the time. (For instance, I'll never wear distressed denim, or distressed anything, anywhere.)</p> <p>In this darkest time of the year, I definitely feel a need for some colour and shine (though black actually feels more natural to me in winter than in any other season). Don't have time for pics now, but FYI, this is my work outfit today:<br /> - purple &amp; torquoise glasses<br /> - purple velvet tee<br /> - torquoise coatigan<br /> - black knee-length skirt<br /> - black &amp; silver pendant necklace<br /> - black belt with a shimmery strass heart<br /> - black hose<br /> - black suede shoes with silver hardware decoration </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-dress-up/page/2#post-1870543 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 05:32:56 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1870543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fashintern and Joy, great ideas! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-dress-up/page/2#post-1870538 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 05:08:50 +0000 Anonymous 1870538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, you look amazing!<br /> Firecracker, you need to make yourself a wool dress with a long wool duster to keep you extra warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-dress-up/page/2#post-1870535 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 04:55:31 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1870535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firecracker, boots! You had some great ones on with your purple dress. And then tights, a T-neck, and cozy sweater dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-dress-up/page/2#post-1870533 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 04:51:44 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1870533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful, Suz. I do love dressing up. I find it hard to do in cold months, though, when I just want to stay layered up in my sweaters, cords, thick socks, and scarves. Sometimes the thought of changing into a dress just makes me shiver. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-dress-up/page/2#post-1870520 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 04:00:31 +0000 Jaime 1870520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a gorgeous post! The necklace itself makes me want to amp it up. We just finished up our holiday season as you know, but everyday dressy is still in reach! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-dress-up/page/2#post-1870494 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 02:37:16 +0000 Violettt 1870494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christina: Love the crystal necklace~<br />Katarina: Love that beautiful necklace from Prague~ &nbsp;How special that is to wear~~ </p> <p>Joy: love those pink crystal earrings</p> <p>La Pedestrienne: &nbsp;Your profile pic is hilarious, makes me smile~ Love your pics, especially the scarf tied just in that way~</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-dress-up/page/2#post-1870491 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 02:34:33 +0000 Violettt 1870491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Angie: This post is nothing but Fab-ness~~ How fun~ to read everyone's comments~<br />Suz: I really was inspired reading your post, how we can, yes, be so inspired by someone we come across in public and their outfit and the way they put things together can so inspire us! &nbsp;Sounds like that totally happened to you~ Love your outfit, everything about it, in your pics~<br />Joy: that red suit is gorgeous~fits you so beautifully~</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-dress-up/page/2#post-1870488 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 02:28:40 +0000 Sal 1870488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look just as fab as I imagined...</p> <p>I have two bottles of Prosecco in the fridge right now (to serve tomorrow with Christmas Fruit mince pies to our staff)....You are all welcome here and I have tea and coffee if you prefer!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-dress-up/page/2#post-1870483 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 02:16:06 +0000 Suz 1870483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! We are going to have another party tomorrow. Why not, right? But now I have to plan tomorrow's outfit!</p> <p>Isn't that skirt brilliant? <b>Angie</b> had the black and cream version and featured it on the blog. <b>MsMary </b>has that one, too. A few others ordered other colours. It was great in every version and has closet longevity. The stitched down pleats make it a lot easier to wear than the pleated skirt featured on today's blog (much as I also adore that style!). And the price was insanely low -- $40 or something? Not exactly that, but almost!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Lisa</b>, I'd love that pro secco!!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-dress-up/page/2#post-1870478 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 01:52:38 +0000 Carla 1870478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfit, Suz. You look so pretty! DH and I have decided to have a solstice party tomorrow! Thanks for the inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lets-dress-up/page/2#post-1870473 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 01:43:30 +0000 Christina F. 1870473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good! That skirt is a knockout. </p>
