Thanks for the feedback on the red outfits!  It seems like the Red-out version of the dress is a favorite. Angie:  I don't see red worn head to toe either, which made me wonder if this would seem a little too matchy and dated -- thanks for chiming in.  I'm glad to know your eye sees this as fresh. Suz:  I'm loving my Red Munros for the Holiday Capsule!  I think I'll wear my blue/silver Chanukah outfit tomorrow. I do wish I had some brown or cognac to pair with my reds this year.  Black is great, but I'm ready for a change!

I love all of them, but I am especially liking the third one. So gorgeous! I am glad your dad is doing well.

More Beth Ann Holiday Fabness. No one does an entire month of Dec holiday dressing like you. Soooo unique. I LOVE #3. Killer, and just so very elegant. We seldom see red from head to toe like that these days, and it looks very fresh. #4 is just as killer. My best.  But your other outfits are fab too, and I'm glad your Dad is recovering well. Glad you chose YLF over Dr. Who. xo Suz on "Red Redux" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-redux#post-1412797 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 14:44:26 +0000 Suz 1412797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Beth Ann, you look amazing. I love #1 and can also imagine it with the cloche. So fun! The dress is also beautiful on you. It reminds me a bit of the red dress that Sveta has, except hers has a V neck.  What a smart idea to set yourself a goal like not wearing the tall boots until after the holidays. You're so right that there will be plenty of time for them later. And when you've got great footwear like yours to tide you along...enjoy it while you can!  Jaime on "Red Redux" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-redux#post-1412775 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 13:45:32 +0000 Jaime 1412775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Red and black is such a good combination on you - a bit dramatic, a bit romantic. You look fantastic! Beth Ann on "Red Redux" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-redux#post-1412770 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 13:38:59 +0000 Beth Ann 1412770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Good morning, all! Lyn:  Would love to see your warm-weather version of a red outfit!  Firecracker: I had my son with me on the drive --- he is scandalized by poor driving (we call him Officer E).  His indignation at holiday drivers keeps me from falling asleep at the wheel!  Hee. Deborah:  Red has always been a favorite, although I think purple and sapphire are actually more flattering to my coloring.  Red has strong connotations though.  it's less an issue of flattery with red, and more a question of what red means.

YLgorgeous in all of these, and wow-what a difference in the see of black it does for our moods!!Now, off to post my own red outfit:-). Firecracker (Sharan) on "Red Redux" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-redux#post-1412705 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 06:11:22 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1412705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love seeing how you dress for the holidays, Beth Ann. You look gorgeous in these red-based outfits. The dress is so gorgeous on you, all the ways you wear it. (Just realized I'm calling everything gorgeous. Long day, I guess; but also that's just how you look!) That's rough, to have to drive all that way after the intense work of grading finals. I hope your father is doing better--what a sweet sentiment about your turn at night watch.  Beth Ann on "Red Redux" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-redux#post-1412703 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 06:03:34 +0000 Beth Ann 1412703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The semester's over, and, while I'd love to be sleeping, my Dad's recovering from several medical procedures, and I am playing night watchman.  Now, as a baby, the only place for the piano was in my nursery, and he played me to sleep many a time.  I'm glad to return the favor.  So, to stay awake, it's either Doctor Who reruns or YLF! My Holiday Wardrobe (or enormous capsule) is anchored with red or burgundy, deep purple for Advent, and a bit of sparkle and shine.  Purple is getting a post later, so here's a bit more red! 1.  What I wore today -- to listen to 4 hours of singing finals.  Whew!  The skirt is quite old, but has more shaping in the back than the front (so I couldn't taper), and I love its length and color.  It will probably not survive another season,  but it makes me feel comfy and festive.  The sweater has a wide band and a ribbing detail across the shoulders.  It also has a metallic thread throughout for subtle shine.  I paired it with necklaces-as-tinsel and textured hose (for interest) and suede booties (for more texture).  I topped it with a heavy cardi  and my grey cloche hat for a 3 1/2 hour drive following the teaching day.  This warmer version looked very Great Gatsy does Christmas. A holiday capsule goal has been to avoid my tall boots as long as weather allows --- there will ample time to tramp about in tall boots! 2.  More casual, if less festive.  I wore this simple ensemble to teach at home.  I am wearing sparkly stud earrings. 3/4.  Three versions of my "Christmas/Valentines/Pentecost Sunday/Gaudete Sunday dress."  I also wear this with a menswear vest and heeled oxfords outside of holiday season.
