I also think the heather gray&nbsp;color helps camouflage the pills. &nbsp;I'd recommend the brand if you can find it. &nbsp;My entry to cashmere was with ebay. I looked for upscale store brands (Bloomies, Saks, etc.) and had good luck. &nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/member/shevia/">shevia</a>: Thank you, and good thinking to avoid the temptation of the brownies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-day-in-pictures-keeping-it-real#post-1451391 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 03:27:54 +0000 Jaime 1451391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful, as do your dogs and your mug full of brownie.

Gorgeous makeup, too. A great casual outfit, and bonus that it can easily be adapted to comfy at-home wear. Those are my favorite kinds for this type of day.

Real, flattering and current. You are so pretty. I love your make-up.&nbsp;</p> <p>Lap and bed Heinrich and Georgia are extra precious and <b>should</b> win. There is NOTHING more therapeutic than the love of a pet. Feel privileged that they chose you, Meredith.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-day-in-pictures-keeping-it-real#post-1451118 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 18:50:24 +0000 Meredith 1451118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I woke up to more snow this morning. Boo. Despite Heinrich and Georgia's best attempts to keep me in bed, I got up and put on my most basic winter ensemble. Fluid cashmere sweater, skinnies, and Hunter boots (expecting slush this afternoon). I wasn't in the mood to do my hair, so I told myself I was channeling Alexa Chung and compensated for the bed head with extra makep. Also tried to add some polish with a chunky necklace that I ended up removing because I knew the metal would make me cold. Off I went to a coffee shop to work on a lecture. All the seats were taken. Returned home, switched out boots for huge slippers, made a mug brownie, and assembled my lap top(s). Dogs win. </p> <p></p> <p>ETA: Here's the link to the mug brownie recipe. &nbsp;It could be very dangerous for you to click this link because you probably have all of the ingredients on hand and could be feasting on your on mug brownie 2 minutes from now. &nbsp;Cook them a little less than recommended unless you are okay with a dry brownie. &nbsp;I also cut the sugar. &nbsp;These brownies really can't compare to the regular, cooked in a pan version, but they do offer instant gratification. &nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.food.com/recipe/microwave-chocolate-mug-brownie-349246">http://www.food.com/recipe/mic.....nie-349246</a></p>
