I too would go crazy sewing all kinds of doggywear!</div><div><br /></div><div>Carla &amp; Rachy: Undercarriage, yes! It can be a real problem. There are fun waterproof sweaters that cover their entire body, but I'm guessing Lilypup wouldn't be amused by those either. I would love to meet her, she sounds like quite the character:-)</div><div><br /></div><div>AJ - Oooh I like the sound of your lilac beanie!! Do you perhaps have a Find for it?<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-accessories---and-wiw#post-2083271 Sun, 08 Dec 2019 22:33:50 +0000 rachylou 2083271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge, Felix is so handsome! Y’all look so smart together. If only Lilypup would look and learn!</p> <p>Carla, ohmigosh, Yes! The wet undercarriage. That always worries me a little bit. Lilypup has practically no fur on her underside and she is so short! She gets very wet and I worry about her getting cold. But no, if I want hugs and kisses - or to say, actually take a few steps forward - all I have to do is put a coat on her and then take it off. Lol. Little rotter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-accessories---and-wiw#post-2083264 Sun, 08 Dec 2019 22:18:26 +0000 AJ 2083264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You winter outerwear capsule is much more organized and cohesive than mine!&nbsp; I just have gloves stuffed into pockets of my most used jackets, but the colors don't necessarily match.&nbsp; :)</p> <p>This post did motivate me to buy a lilac beanie to go with my lilac corduroy pants. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any matching gloves.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-accessories---and-wiw#post-2083260 Sun, 08 Dec 2019 22:07:00 +0000 Carla 2083260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know we are off on a tangent, but what a fun tangent!</p> <p>Too bad about last years coat (you both look FAB). My favourite is the quilted coat in #2. Since I sew, I think I would go CRAZY sewing for a dog! Fun, fun, fun! I think it is a great solution to wear a tunic of sorts. Ranger would always get a messy undercarriage, and it was a chore to clean and dry him after walks. A coat would definitely have made things easier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-accessories---and-wiw#post-2083234 Sun, 08 Dec 2019 20:30:57 +0000 Inge 2083234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Carla: Oh yes! Like you said, whippets have very fine, short hair + no undercoat and virtually no body fat, so they get cold quickly. Felix absolutely needs a thicker coat in Winter, and lighter weight ones (or a sweater) in Fall and Spring.</div><div><br /></div><div>It's fun though, there are so many fab options out there. Not cheap though (whippets have a very deep chest, and most of the coats in brick-and-mortar pet stores don't fit properly). Now that he is fully grown, my plan is to slowly build a small capsule of coats and sweaters for him And I will enjoy it every step of the way (I know you get it;-)<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>LOL about Lilypup and Ranger :-)) I know several dogs who hate wearing coats/accessories. Fortunately Felix usually doesn't mind outerwear*, but I do have to take everything off the second we get back inside, then he wants to go 'au naturel' again :-)</div><div><br /></div><div>* the one exception is the yellow fleece sweater shown below. It has very little stretch, and the turtleneck is quite narrow. He panics when I try to pull it over his head, so that sweater has been going unworn. Will probably donate it.</div><div><br /></div><div>I'm smiling at your description of the red tartan and puffer. Adorable!</div><div><br /></div><div>In case you want to see Felix in his attire:</div><div>1. Yellow raincoat for milder temps</div><div>2. Felix on the left in his new olive quilted Winter coat</div><div>3. Puppy Felix in tiny red sweater that was still too big on him:-)</div><div>4. The dreaded yellow sweater that will be donated</div><div>5. Felix last year in his first Winter coat. That one's too small now, so will also be donated<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-accessories---and-wiw#post-2083082 Sun, 08 Dec 2019 00:39:23 +0000 Carla 2083082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Inge - does Felix have a coat? His hair is very short, and I wonder if he would feel the cold. I remember Racheylou volunteering that Lilypup was a ‘natural’ dog and would not deign wear a puffer! ;-D if I had a dog, I would be sorely tempted to have a fashion dog. DH had Ranger (black lab) but he wouldn’t even wear a bandana. Definitely not a hipster dog.</p> <p>Today on my walk I saw a cocker spaniel in a red tartan coat, and a chihuahua in a puffer. The chihuahua had cold feet, though, so his owner ended up carry it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-accessories---and-wiw#post-2083046 Sat, 07 Dec 2019 23:41:01 +0000 Inge 2083046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Now that is one happy Winter accessories collection. I love it all, but the brooch on your black beret is the super stylish cherry on the cake! Adore it!-)</div><div><br /></div><div>P.S. We got to freezing point this week before I realized I actually didn't own a single hat that covers my ears. Remedied that straightaway, and now I can at least walk Felix in cold weather without my ears hurting ;-)<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-accessories---and-wiw#post-2082782 Sat, 07 Dec 2019 05:04:51 +0000 rachylou 2082782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That teal scarf is beautiful, Karen!</p> <p>I have a lot of beanies, gloves, and scarves. They rotate in and out as I lose and find them. Here are today’s gloves (and my dough-stained knees ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-accessories---and-wiw#post-2082779 Sat, 07 Dec 2019 04:55:46 +0000 karen13 2082779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice collection - I need to aspire to this. Even though I live in a coldish (not compared to Canada or the Midwest) very snowy climate, my winter accessory game is seriously lacking. I need a plan. Most of my stuff is gear.</p> <p>I was in Central Europe for a month in the fall, attending many dressy cultural events (6 operas, 5 orchestra concerts and 2 ballets in 5 cities!) and realized how poor my closet is in this area. I found I really need a stylish packable hat. I seriously shopped in Budapest - they seem to have a lot of lovely hats in the windows. But sadly,&nbsp;like lisap , my short hairstyle made that a unicorn.</p> <p>However, my MVP on this trip was my teal cashmere wrap. Kept me warm in my sleeveless opera dress, and made the most excellent lumbar support sitting for 3+ hours in 19th century chairs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-accessories---and-wiw#post-2082465 Fri, 06 Dec 2019 13:05:31 +0000 Aquamarine 2082465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fab collection of leather gloves! I seem to have all black gloves, although I prefer brightly colored mittens for exercise/walking in my neighborhood. Not much of a hat person and I need to remedy that. I have amassed a collection of scarves, though, but they do not get as much use lately as I overheat quite easily these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-accessories---and-wiw#post-2082437 Fri, 06 Dec 2019 10:13:59 +0000 Style Fan 2082437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla, your winter accessories are amazing.&nbsp; I have 2 toques with pompoms that I wear constantly.&nbsp; One is brown and cream and the other is olive, brown and cream.&nbsp; I also have 2 brown wool fedoras.&nbsp; I have several wool scarves (2 orange, brown, leopard, mustard, etc.) that I rarely wear.&nbsp; I find scarves annoying.&nbsp; My gloves and mittens are black, beige and orange.&nbsp; My gloves and mittens have to have leather on the palms so that I can hold a dog leash.&nbsp; All wool does not work.&nbsp; </p> <p>Some pictures of my hats and gloves in action.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-accessories---and-wiw#post-2082429 Fri, 06 Dec 2019 09:11:53 +0000 Cardiff girl 2082429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yay!I knew you must have some tartan somewhere,shame it’s scratchy though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-accessories---and-wiw#post-2082414 Fri, 06 Dec 2019 07:33:28 +0000 Liesbeth 2082414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another mismatched hodgepodge girl here ;). I do like winter accessories but fall victim to buying pretty scarves without matching hats (and then really needing a warm hat so putting on whatever I own that clashes the least)... see a example of what I bought this year. Also, all of my hats seem to have a cozy, almost country feel whereas in scarves I pick more elegant cashmere type styled. Weird when you think of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-accessories---and-wiw#post-2082392 Fri, 06 Dec 2019 04:31:46 +0000 kellygirl 2082392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so cute.

I do favor a felt fedora style hat in winter. Must have brim for sun protection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-accessories---and-wiw#post-2082273 Thu, 05 Dec 2019 20:26:34 +0000 nuancedream 2082273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla, you have such a wonderful collection of winter accessories. LOVE photo #7...high contrast panache in black and white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-accessories---and-wiw#post-2082263 Thu, 05 Dec 2019 19:47:12 +0000 Anonymous 2082263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I'm going to have to quit my jobs in order to become as together and organized as you are, Carla &nbsp;I play it pretty fast and loose with winter accessories, often forgetting to take gloves with me when I go out, or taking a scarf off half way through the day because it's starting to annoy me. &nbsp;I rarely wear a hat unless it's absolutely wet and ridiculous outside because I look 100 years old in hats. &nbsp;( I think it's &nbsp;a short-hair issue) . &nbsp;</p> <p>I stick to a very small collection of gloves and mitts in black, mustard and pale grey. I never know where they are at any given time. &nbsp;By the end of the week, I have a pair in my work bag, on the backseat of the car, in my purse, and tucked into my boots at the front door . &nbsp; &nbsp;I agree that silk scarves are just as effective as knits and that's pretty much all I wear too. Knit scarves are just too bulky and hot. &nbsp;</p> <p>I'm rotating through 4 or so bags in winter: olive, mustard, black (2 of them ) &nbsp;and a patterned coated canvas designer logo bag. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-accessories---and-wiw#post-2082259 Thu, 05 Dec 2019 19:35:05 +0000 Bonnie 2082259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful collection of winter accessories and I love photo #7. I wear my black Tilley winter wool hat, black fleece gloves, and black tote with puffers, coats and matching scarves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-accessories---and-wiw#post-2082238 Thu, 05 Dec 2019 18:26:25 +0000 Carla 2082238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ Cardiff girl - okay, DH’s scarf shared by family on an ‘as needed’ basis. (Buchanan plaid). Scarf is scratchy, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-accessories---and-wiw#post-2082237 Thu, 05 Dec 2019 18:20:35 +0000 Cardiff girl 2082237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is very impressive.A small but well curated collection giving you loads of options.l think that this is something to aspire too (but I notice no tartan!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-accessories---and-wiw#post-2082235 Thu, 05 Dec 2019 18:11:55 +0000 nemosmom 2082235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Carla! I really love how you've coordinated your winter accessories! You have such a good way with color - adding just a few pieces that give you loads of options and work SO beautifully together.<br /><div><br /></div><div>My winter accessories are a hodge-podge of pieces. My gloves are thin runner's gloves from costco and mismatched because my 7yr old keeps wearing them to school; only one glove from each pair has made it home... Fortunately, they were for different hands! :D<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>It's surprising that silk scarves are so warm! I have been wearing mine indoors, paired with a crew neck pullover or button up shirt to create a turtleneck effect.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>I've been loosely shopping for a floppy wool hat like this one, but haven't found one I love yet.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-accessories---and-wiw#post-2082234 Thu, 05 Dec 2019 18:00:46 +0000 slim cat 2082234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely and thoughtful collection! I like the scarf and blue gloves - so pretty.&nbsp;<br />Outfit #7 is my favorite ( plus your smile ).<br />Winter in SoCa is mild but I still got my warmer things from Seattle' period of my life. So - lots of scarfs all kind, black leather gloves with addition of green ones, couple hats in navy and blue ( not big on hats - makes my hair go flat ). I wear more cotton/modal scarfs now - softer on my skin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-accessories---and-wiw#post-2082228 Thu, 05 Dec 2019 17:20:00 +0000 Carla 2082228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All set for winter with a collection of accessories that mix and match with my winter coats. Last year I discovered that a silk scarf could be every bit as warm about the neck as the expected wool. A hat and warm mitts or gloves is mandatory from November through April for my cold hands (Raynaud’s). </p> <p>How are you accessorizing your winter outerwear?
