Hmm....I'll have to give this color therapy a try next time.</p> <p>LUV that red coat! Since it's a rain jacket, is it nylon/polyester? It doesn't look shiny, so that's why I ask. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-color-to-fight-off-illness#post-523200 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 02:57:50 +0000 Suz 523200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have serious coat envy.

And what a fantastic bargain. </p> <p>I hope you are feeling better soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-color-to-fight-off-illness#post-523190 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 02:50:50 +0000 Debora 523190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your strategy and I hope you are able to chase away that nasty flu bug.

(thus, today I wore reds, too:-))<br /> Great dress, and an absolutely killer coat!!! :-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-color-to-fight-off-illness#post-522769 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:29:36 +0000 Meredith1953 522769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the cut and color of that coat on you! Great look in the first pic also. I'd like to get a better look at those boots.

It sounds like a good strategy. I especially like the red coat. Great find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-color-to-fight-off-illness#post-522754 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:18:30 +0000 fauxpas 522754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That nasty flu is after me! After traveling for ten days, I came home with "something" that is trying to get me. I grew up in a "put a little lipstick on and get on with it" home (which has served me well!) so I am combatting whatever is trying to get me with color. Do any of you do that? I can't give it to it or it will win so color is my armor!</p> <p>First outfit is a lightweight t-shirt dress with a gorgeous fun print (a pop of Orange!) and I've topped it with a femmed up military inspired sweater and my favorite pair of knee-high suede boots. </p> <p>#2, 3 and 4 are my new FIND! (I'm still going to get the DV red suede boots that Angie showed us today) but I have been looking for a "red topper"/raincoat that is lightweight and doesn't overwhelm me. I also do NOT like belts on jackets as I don't want to fuss when I'm trying to keep warm and dry. This has the inverted back pleat which I love,buttons down the front with great pockets, a detachable hood and look at the adorable lining....polka dots! I found it a Marshalls (a discount store) for $49, originaly $129. I've got my charcoal ponte skinny cargos and a jersey tee underneath plus my yummy soft leather black Born boots...Flu, beware! Color helps me stay strong! </p>
