Weird compliment but I feel like you could be a character on a (well costumed) production because your style is distinct, cohesive and works so well on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6the-winter-uniform-and-a-monochromatic-outfit#post-2376690 Wed, 18 Dec 2024 21:56:30 +0000 Carla 2376690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ <b>JAileen&nbsp;</b>- I’ve been wearing the ‘liner’ puffer alone, because it hasn’t been cold enough to need layers yet - and the black puffer was warm enough on its own - and I appreciate its lightness. &nbsp;I did wear it once with my short beige puffer under it - a puffer under a puffer! &nbsp;</p> <p> <div>We were supposed to get snow today, but it rained instead! &nbsp;</div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6the-winter-uniform-and-a-monochromatic-outfit#post-2376685 Wed, 18 Dec 2024 19:06:53 +0000 JAileen 2376685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your sweater and skirt outfit is gorgeous with your hair.</p> <p>I’m kind of surprised you’re not wearing your puffer under a coat. &nbsp;I’ve copied you several times this month. &nbsp;A few weeks ago we had really cold weather, and I layered a Nanopuff vest with a sweater and a coat over all. &nbsp;First with my big red duffle coat, and then with a North Face thermoball parka, and finally with a peacoat. &nbsp;Each time I thought of you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6the-winter-uniform-and-a-monochromatic-outfit#post-2376674 Wed, 18 Dec 2024 18:03:46 +0000 pirouette 2376674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the skirt and jumper it is such an elegant outfit no wonder your husband decided to dress up too. The blue berry is great with your jeans. Berries really suit you I also love your red berry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6the-winter-uniform-and-a-monochromatic-outfit#post-2376662 Wed, 18 Dec 2024 14:51:40 +0000 Angie 2376662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good grief, do you rock a beret, <b>Carla</b>!!

It hit us after a very mild and long fall...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6the-winter-uniform-and-a-monochromatic-outfit#post-2376657 Wed, 18 Dec 2024 13:52:10 +0000 Irina 2376657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfits, Carla!

Monochromatic outfit is perfect with your hair and glasses - looks pretty with black flats ( just enough contrast )! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6the-winter-uniform-and-a-monochromatic-outfit#post-2376649 Wed, 18 Dec 2024 05:14:17 +0000 Suz 2376649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brrrr! That's what it is here (or maybe we are closer to "mid" single digits) but also POURING and often windy. So...Cons would be a definite no for me!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6the-winter-uniform-and-a-monochromatic-outfit#post-2376647 Wed, 18 Dec 2024 05:09:35 +0000 Carla 2376647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@&nbsp;<b>Suz&nbsp;</b>- I think the month started out cold, but it’s been ‘warm’ relative to what it could be this time of year. &nbsp;High single digits Celsius? &nbsp;Cold &nbsp;and snow on the horizon though. &nbsp;We don’t have <i>any</i>&nbsp;snow, but it might be a white Christmas.</p> <p>FWIW, with wool socks, Cons are warm enough and the rubber bottoms provide better traction than some footwear. I do have a new pair of <b>waterproof</b>&nbsp;and super light boots for snowy conditions. &nbsp;They’re replacements for my heavy Sorels. &nbsp; I’ve worn them once so far. &nbsp;They are kind of weird looking, but I’m digging them! (See Finds, below)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6the-winter-uniform-and-a-monochromatic-outfit#post-2376645 Wed, 18 Dec 2024 04:39:11 +0000 Suz 2376645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Champagne monochrome! Or very close, I'd say....but it fits with the tonal challenge because in the video that <b>SarahDB</b> linked, she began with monochromatic outfits...same colour, different fabrication.&nbsp;</p> <p>I agree with you re the blue bookend hat to faded blue jeans -- works great on you with your scarf, too!&nbsp;</p> <p>I still can't wrap my head around Cons in winter! My feet would freeze! But it may be colder (and definitely wetter!) here than there at the moment. We've been having miserable weather.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6the-winter-uniform-and-a-monochromatic-outfit#post-2376644 Wed, 18 Dec 2024 03:22:05 +0000 Lisa 2376644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really enjoy when accessories match (belts and shoes, belts and bags, etc), especially here with the beret and jeans! It's brilliant!</p> <p>Nice to see the winter outfit formula is in full swing. On our warmer days I am rocking the uniform of hoodies with graphic tees and jeans. It works well for my casual WFH lifestyle.</p> <p>The monochromatic outfit is lovely! I especially like that the skirt has some shine to it and it has a really nice shape too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6the-winter-uniform-and-a-monochromatic-outfit#post-2376642 Wed, 18 Dec 2024 03:12:28 +0000 Carla 2376642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last week I posted about my everyday winter uniform of jeans and turtleneck sweater. &nbsp;Here’s two more variations (#1+2) and a monochromatic outfit I wore for the last Bridge Night of 2024 (#3). &nbsp;It might work for the tonal challenge, though I think of tonal as either ranging from light to dark in a monochromatic colour scheme (pink, red, burgundy) or as blending with another colour adjacent (red, plum, purple)&nbsp;but that might be splitting hairs over semantics.</p> <p> <div>I like the pale blue beret as a bookend to the pale blue jeans. &nbsp;Also, a few folks asked about the black quilted shacket style coat. &nbsp;Yes. &nbsp;It’s new. &nbsp;I got it as a liner coat for layering - but it’s been perfect for the transitional weather we’re having.</div><div><br /></div><div>When DH saw what I was wearing to Bridge Night, he decided to ‘dress up’ too, and donned a button down and a Christmas tie. &nbsp;It’s a rather subtle tie with a tiny holly leaf and berry motif in green and red on a navy background. &nbsp;Well! &nbsp;Someone&nbsp;from <b>every</b>&nbsp;couple who sat down to play with us commented on his tie!<br /> </div> </p>
