Fantastic in the unusually cold winter we hare having. Picked them up on sale at the Rack after a big internal debate, and boy am I glad. Warm enough to wear with thin socks in single-digit temps without a hint of chill on my feet.</p> <p>- Slouchy berets -- great for keeping my head warm without giving me hat hair when I remove them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-unexpected-things-are-you-wearing-this-wintersummer/page/2#post-1149179 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 12:23:49 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1149179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fleece lined legging and tights and shorter boots that fall between knee high and booties, above the ankle and ponchos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-unexpected-things-are-you-wearing-this-wintersummer#post-1149177 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 12:18:15 +0000 Aquamarine 1149177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cardigans...I have moved away from casual blazers because it's been so darned cold here. Cardigans as a third piece are more comfy and fit better under my coats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-unexpected-things-are-you-wearing-this-wintersummer#post-1149059 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 03:58:15 +0000 Greyscale 1149059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White! It's a new thing for me but I've definitely shifted away from all black over the past year. Still monochromatic but much brighter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-unexpected-things-are-you-wearing-this-wintersummer#post-1149020 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 02:54:01 +0000 Carla 1149020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My red shoes. I was very happy when I found them, and sure I would wear them enough for a decent PPW. I've been wearing them so much, I'm starting to pre- worry about what I'm going to do when they wear out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-unexpected-things-are-you-wearing-this-wintersummer#post-1149010 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 02:38:25 +0000 Aida 1149010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shorter skirts! At least for winter wear; I still much prefer longer, breezier midi-lengths in summer. My longer fall/winter skirts are going unworn, I'm debating having them hemmed up higher. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-unexpected-things-are-you-wearing-this-wintersummer#post-1149006 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 02:35:25 +0000 Windchime 1149006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My Eddie Bauer blue straight leg jeans in a LONG length. They fit my curves so well and feel great. I'm surprised by how often I pull them on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-unexpected-things-are-you-wearing-this-wintersummer#post-1149004 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 02:34:09 +0000 Gigi 1149004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My knee-high La Canadienne boots. They are as warm as my snow boots! I couldn't believe it. But they have no tread on the bottom, so I still have to be careful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-unexpected-things-are-you-wearing-this-wintersummer#post-1148971 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 01:21:17 +0000 Suja 1148971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tunics with leggings. I bought a Boden tunic at the beginning of the season and wear it all the time for evenings and weekends. It feels great to look good chasing little kids. I bought two more from Boden at their after Christmas sale and wear them all the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-unexpected-things-are-you-wearing-this-wintersummer#post-1148933 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 00:32:45 +0000 anne 1148933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My pinstriped knee length shorts. The only non-gear shorts I own. I bought these several years ago, didn't wear them much and then thought I'd culled them before I found them tucked away in the back of the wardrobe. I have worn them quite a bit casually during the "pleasant summer" weather. Now the weather is getting too hot to wear them but when it gets a bit cooler I'll pull them out again</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-unexpected-things-are-you-wearing-this-wintersummer#post-1148857 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 22:33:12 +0000 MuseumGal 1148857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Husband's wool sweaters/pullovers.&nbsp; I have sensitive skin, so have always passed on these, but with the unexpectedly cold winter this year, have had to learn to wear them layered.&nbsp; Next winter I'm even going to buy some of my very own! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-unexpected-things-are-you-wearing-this-wintersummer#post-1148855 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 22:28:22 +0000 Caro in Oz 1148855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dresses for summer - it took me a while to accept everything else is too hot. I found a couple of dresses I love &amp; I've been wearing them a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-unexpected-things-are-you-wearing-this-wintersummer#post-1148849 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 22:21:00 +0000 cciele 1148849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skinnies, because I haven't worn skinnies in two or so&nbsp;years. And with loafers without socks, even! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-unexpected-things-are-you-wearing-this-wintersummer#post-1148755 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 20:35:27 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1148755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skirts, because it's been unseasonably warm here and usually I avoid skirts even with tights when it's cold and rainy. Same with ballet flats; those usually get replaced with boots or sneaks when it's wet. </p> <p>As far as trend-driven stuff, maybe more jackets and less cardigans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-unexpected-things-are-you-wearing-this-wintersummer#post-1148745 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 20:31:21 +0000 pastrygirl 1148745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Leggings. This was my first year, and I'm hooked...for the rest of THIS season, at least. Who knows about next year!</p> <p>I thought I was over skinnies, but I wear skinnies or leggings 6-7 days a week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-unexpected-things-are-you-wearing-this-wintersummer#post-1148736 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 20:24:06 +0000 Alassë 1148736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fall weight tops layered under &amp; over. I thought it would be too cold, but the weather keeps bouncing around and expanding my capsule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-unexpected-things-are-you-wearing-this-wintersummer#post-1148683 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 19:24:35 +0000 Catnip 1148683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Down vests and boyfriend jeans.&nbsp; I wear them most days, even though I several other choices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-unexpected-things-are-you-wearing-this-wintersummer#post-1148681 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 19:23:56 +0000 Catnip 1148681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Down vests and boyfriend jeans.&nbsp; I wear them nearly every day, even though I several other choices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-unexpected-things-are-you-wearing-this-wintersummer#post-1148659 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 18:48:36 +0000 unfrumped 1148659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skirts and fleece tights. Late to the party. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-unexpected-things-are-you-wearing-this-wintersummer#post-1148636 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 18:26:49 +0000 E 1148636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I'm surprised that the weather has cooperated enough for me to wear my woolens as much as I've been able to. Last winter I could barely wear them at all!</p> <p>I'm surprised at starting to really like the dress &amp; trousers look, and even wanting to wear my tunics as tunics (rather than tucked into my skirts like regular shirts). Oh and I've suddenly stopped hating how it looks when I tuck my shirts in to my trousers, at least when I add a jacket on top, as YLFers have been doing for ages now. Both of these surprises let me play with new combinations and silhouettes, so I'm enjoying that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-unexpected-things-are-you-wearing-this-wintersummer#post-1148622 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 18:16:26 +0000 Mo 1148622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White skinnies. &nbsp;I expected to like them. &nbsp;And wear them. &nbsp;Just not&nbsp;<i>this</i> much. &nbsp;:) &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-unexpected-things-are-you-wearing-this-wintersummer#post-1148620 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 18:16:09 +0000 Jules 1148620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blazers. I had two existing that got minimal wear - nice pieces, I liked them, but they felt a bit formal for my very casual style. But&nbsp;I've realized that they sub for a sweater on colder days. I also have gained some weight around the middle (carrying it a bit differently than when I was younger, so it's an adjustment), and I realized that blazers, worn open, are pretty forgiving of this in fit, camouflage both the weight and resulting slighly tight fit of the clothes underneath, and give me back some of the waist I'm missing. I've added another blazer this winter and have my eye out for more.<br />I also bought an oatmeal turtleneck on clearance, to push my boundaries a bit. I have never worn oatmeal before and I don't generally wear solid white, cream, stone etc, all of which there is a&nbsp;ton of this winter.&nbsp;Oatmeal turns out to be my white and it refreshed some existing outfits. Then it shrank in the dryer. I can't eve really wear it under a blazer (see above) because of dreaded horizontal boob line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-unexpected-things-are-you-wearing-this-wintersummer#post-1148604 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 18:00:37 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1148604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Leather pants, suede pants, and I have been digging out my vintage fur pieces a lot lately, to layer over coats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-unexpected-things-are-you-wearing-this-wintersummer#post-1148602 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 17:58:39 +0000 Anonymous 1148602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scrunch neck turtlenecks.

You wear them only in the morning and evening, then change in the warmest part of the day. Not earthshaking, I know, but I found a way to give myself permission to enjoy my winter clothes even though the weather is uncooperative. </p> <p>Please don't think I am mocking you frozen fabbers, no indeed.
