You also layer so well, and I echo Angie that you are skilled at it! </p> <p>I also especially like the color paring of the olive shades with the red bag in outfit #1, very pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-in-the-holidays#post-2377620 Sun, 05 Jan 2025 15:57:17 +0000 Angie 2377620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Grey is lovely with your silver hair! It works :)</p> <p>It you feel it’s draining - add a scarf that creates some contrast. </p> <p>Your signature style comes through strongly in these outfits,&nbsp;<b>Cookie</b>, and I love that! You’re a dress and skirt person who likes to define their waist. Excellent outfit formula! Please carry on. </p> <p>My favourite look is #2! Lots of layers and patterns that are skillfully put together. Impressive! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-in-the-holidays#post-2377593 Sun, 05 Jan 2025 05:30:03 +0000 Suz 2377593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think grey is life-draining! Especially not with your silver hair. It looks good on you! I just think (for myself, with my own silver hair) I often want a pop of colour for variety, if nothing else, and a soft neutral like grey lends itself to a lot of different colours (or other neutrals) as accent.&nbsp;</p> <p>Looks like you got a good deal and a good memory,&nbsp; both.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-in-the-holidays#post-2377591 Sun, 05 Jan 2025 01:30:03 +0000 Cookie 2377591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much for the info about the brand! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-in-the-holidays#post-2377585 Sun, 05 Jan 2025 01:11:35 +0000 Jaime 2377585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All your outfits made me smile, but the biggest smile is for emerging from the thrift store with another coat.

I’m relieved by the positive feedback for the coat, which I fear is a rather life-draining color but a scarf should definitely help. It is 60% wool/40% mohair and the label says “St. Michael, made in Belgium” and has European sizes. It does seem of good quality! And of course it will hold a memory of a nice afternoon with my mother. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-in-the-holidays#post-2377575 Sat, 04 Jan 2025 21:47:03 +0000 Carla 2377575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The travel outfit is my favourite, but tell me more about the coat - brand, cloth content. &nbsp;Even though it’s thrifted, I’m curious. &nbsp;Looks like a beautiful shape. &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-in-the-holidays#post-2377569 Sat, 04 Jan 2025 19:58:18 +0000 cjh 2377569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really nice dress collection and you are great at accessorizing.

And I hear you on shopping with mom! But the coat, love. So deceptively simple, but the details shine through </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-in-the-holidays#post-2377566 Sat, 04 Jan 2025 19:40:07 +0000 Jenni NZ 2377566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Cookie you look amazing!

Super fun to wear at that time of year. Love your creative layers in #2.&nbsp; You picked the <b>perfect </b>outfit for the ex-BF -- so fab!&nbsp;</p> <p>Re the coat: The grey of course is a good colour for you...will you wear a scarf and/or hat, too? I feel as if it might be better still with a pop of colour?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-in-the-holidays#post-2377557 Sat, 04 Jan 2025 17:31:02 +0000 Star (Lise) 2377557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have some amazing dresses and skirts.&nbsp; If you live in a cold climate coats are your outfit for a lot of the time so be happy you found a fab one and enjoy having a choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-in-the-holidays#post-2377553 Sat, 04 Jan 2025 16:34:26 +0000 Cookie 2377553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. To the airport Christmas Eve (not sure if the print is meant to be partridges and pear trees but I choose to think so) 2. To go to a Chinese restaurant Christmas Day 3. To a museum 4. To see a high school love interest (who complains that I am too dressed up, so I stress more over what to wear to see him than any other situation lol) 5. To see cousins and go to another museum 6. To help mom donate some items to a thrift shop 7. From which I somehow came away with yet another coat! Argh, MOM! 8. To have friends over for an early new year’s dinner. Sadly the Christmas dinner to which we have been invited every year since I was a child was canceled for injury and covid. But still had a nice relaxing visit. </p>
