I do love cats, though. </p> <p>Karen, I didn’t take the Etons. I was basically packed and wanted something to go with everything I had in the bag. The Chelsea boots will do well. </p> <p>Sara, I’m not good with my hands, and so holding the round brush and hair dryer together is hard for me. I could probably try bella’s Idea of a curling iron, but I don’t leave myself enough time in the mornings for that stuff. </p> <p>Gigi, thank you. I’m sad about the reindeer sweater too. It developed a hole after only a handful of Christmas seasons. The more subdued reindeer sweater is in great shape, though. </p> <p>Thanks, smittie! And it is funny that the Naturalizers are so edgy. I th8nk I can tuck a top into the midi, but I thought that sweatshirt was bulky enough that I didn’t try. A thinner shirt or sweater, sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-festive-challenge-plus-new-boots#post-1984771 Fri, 21 Dec 2018 02:45:07 +0000 Anonymous 1984771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your makeup in 9 is perfect!<br /> Blissful booties look great. I like the slightly edgy feel (crazy thatNaturlizer is edgy!). </p> <p>Have you tried tucking with your corduroy midi? Seems like to could. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-festive-challenge-plus-new-boots#post-1984729 Thu, 20 Dec 2018 22:09:40 +0000 Gigi 1984729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the new hairstyle! I too am miserable at replicating what the stylist does. It seems that their hands are magic, I swear.</p> <p>I absolutely love the reindeer top in pic 3! So cute. Too bad you have to retire it.&nbsp;</p> <p>My second fave was the Fair Isle sweater from Lucky, in pic 1.</p> <p>This was a really fun series of WIWs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-festive-challenge-plus-new-boots#post-1984673 Thu, 20 Dec 2018 17:15:10 +0000 bella 1984673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A fab set of outfits! i love your new hair cut and the blow out! If you are willing to learn to use a hair curler and invest in a good one, you can create it easily yourself. Once you get used to it, it takes only a few minutes in the morning. Just saying in case that's something you are interested in.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-festive-challenge-plus-new-boots#post-1984672 Thu, 20 Dec 2018 17:14:38 +0000 Sara L. 1984672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, great new boots!&nbsp; Fun festive outfits.&nbsp; I especially like your Xmas party outfit with the reindeer tee and gold sneakers.&nbsp; So cute!&nbsp; I have the same problems when I get my hair done.&nbsp; I'm better about asking questions now about how to replicate - what product is she using, what exactly is she doing?&nbsp; But I still can't usually get it to look the same. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-festive-challenge-plus-new-boots#post-1984664 Thu, 20 Dec 2018 17:01:39 +0000 karen13 1984664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That hair blow out is gorgeous and IKWYM about being unable to replicates things. Pack your trip around the Etons. They are fab! I find my Blissful to be pretty roomy - but I got a wide width and was between sizes so I sized up and wear thicker socks and my insoles.</p> <p>Love the festivefairisle looks and the reindeer collection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-festive-challenge-plus-new-boots#post-1984630 Thu, 20 Dec 2018 15:08:20 +0000 Elizabeth P 1984630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great collection!&nbsp; Christmassy yet not over the top... well, except the cat one :)&nbsp; And I love those teal boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-festive-challenge-plus-new-boots#post-1984567 Thu, 20 Dec 2018 04:11:37 +0000 Cee 1984567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty killa ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-festive-challenge-plus-new-boots#post-1984564 Thu, 20 Dec 2018 04:08:09 +0000 Anonymous 1984564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow.

The world hasn’t yet seen my slightly mess tasteful (bur cute) Christmas cat sweater yet. </p> <p>Thanks, texstyle! Love the fair isle too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-festive-challenge-plus-new-boots#post-1984414 Wed, 19 Dec 2018 19:10:23 +0000 texstyle 1984414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all those boots and the fair isle sweater is gorgeous on you!

These boots are the best! I'm in love with the teal color. I have four pairs of Born boots now, starting the ones from NAS that you got, Angie. They have saved my life. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-festive-challenge-plus-new-boots#post-1984339 Wed, 19 Dec 2018 16:03:52 +0000 Angie 1984339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FABULOUS, <b>Christina.</b> #3, 7 and 8 are my faves. I'm loving the playful motifs, sparkle and Chucks.&nbsp;</p> <p>I giggled at the gorgeous 'do you can't replicate :)</p> <p>I'm thrilled you found amazing boots that make your feet and back happy. WOOOHOOO. I'll make them a top pick.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-festive-challenge-plus-new-boots#post-1984307 Wed, 19 Dec 2018 15:00:22 +0000 Christina F. 1984307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Now we are starting to get to the really nutty Christmas items! You all will see what a Christmas but I am.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>1-2. Lucky Brand sweater and bootcuts. Festive level: 7/10</div><div><br /> </div><div>3 - Reindeer sweater, black jeans and Chuck Taylors. Festive level: 9/10. The sweater had a hole in the sleeve, so it's retired after this (don't worry - I have MORE reindeer items below.) Sadly, the sneakers hurt my back and hip if worn all day, it turns out; I still need to try them with Superfeet insoles, which I recently discovered are helpful, though I already had a pair I'd forgotten about. They're good for shock absorption, which is what I need now, out on the pavement.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>4-5 - Blue sweatshirt with gold thread, blue jeans. Festive level: 7/10</div><div><br /> </div><div>6 - Bonus - new haircut and blowout that I can't replicate.</div><div><br /> </div><div>7 - Embellished sweatshirt and Boden midi skirt - Festive level 8/10</div><div><br /> </div><div>8-9- Outfit for work Christmas party - Boden reindeer breton tee (last year) and velvet jeans with gold sneakers. Festive level - 10/10</div><div><br /> </div><div>10-11- another reindeer sweater, black jeans, and new boots. More about that last item below. Festive level - 8/10</div><div><br /> </div><div>And to think, I'm packing separate festive items from these for my upcoming trip, for the most part. That said, except for most of the explicitly Christmas items, I feel okay wearing most of this stuff all winter (even that second Reindeer sweater is something I'll wear into January.)<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>My mom also ordered me the following final Xmas gifts from Zappos for Christmas, since we're not seeing each other this year:<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>New Born Eton boots in teal, as worn above - FABULOUS. Very cute, and possibly also even better than the Born Cove Chelsea boots for my back problems. These are roomy, but that means they fit perfectly with my superfeet insoles in there. I may want to bring these to California instead of the Chelsea boots, but the color makes them a bit less versatile. Can't bring both, sadly.&nbsp; What these have in common is great support and a rubber heel, so that's what I look for now.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>Naturalizer Blissful booties (pic 13 includes them)&nbsp; that have been reviewed elsewhere on the forum in white.They will be less useful as I continue healing, but comfortable enough for me to wear some days. They have room for one of my smaller pairs of insoles.<br /> </div></p>
