That sweatshirt is old but it’s fun and I’ll hold on to it as long as I can. </p> <p>Suz, the gold boots seem okay but I haven’t done a test run yet. It will have to be warm-ish and not raining. We’ve had the former but not so much the latter of late. The red puffer would be the perfect antidote, but it’s mostly not cold enough. Ah well. </p> <p>Kari, YES, you get it. I feel very authentic lately.</p> <p>Nemosmom- yes, I do feel better thanks! It took the whole holidays and I did a combo of working from home some days and traveling to see both families. Not much chance to relax. </p> <p>Lyn-my first and likely only cover :p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-year-same-me#post-2089924 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 19:43:49 +0000 lyn67 2089924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b></b></p> <b><br /> </b> <p><b></b>Great job in all these, my faves are nr 1, 2 , 3, 8 and 17 and I see you sorted the PPL for your wider hems, I love the cropped ones especially (for ex nr 6) and love your holiday sweaters in nr 3 and 11!

What a neat idea!<br /> I love your metallic footwear so much, all of them. It’s really awesome to identify outfits that feel so authentically “you”, you as you are right now, isn’t it?

So many great outfits but I have to say that gift from your husband takes the cake. Major kudos to him and you for inspiring it!

How special and fun! You will treasure it forever. Mr. C. sounds like a keeper! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Your sparkle outfits are spectacular. I <b>LOVE</b> #1. Just gorgeous on you. I'm really keen on 6, too, realizing I saw it before. The red puffer is perfect. <b>SO </b>happy for those dark and cold days. And the Frye booties are fantastic! How is the comfort for you? #17 absolutely looks right. Easy, current, and fun.&nbsp;</p> <p>So sorry you were sick over Christmas -- me, too! But what a thrill to visit Elizabeth Cady Stanton house.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-year-same-me#post-2089667 Sun, 05 Jan 2020 00:58:43 +0000 Christina F. 2089667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone. Mr. Christina is really the best. I’m even reading a Kindle in the art, rather than a book. And the cats’ postures are exactly right. Apparently, he spent a lot of time going back and forth with the digital artist. Anyway, the print is at the framer now.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>kellygirl, sparkle and color help liven up the winter weather. It’s not too cold here but often pretty wet and grey.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>totontogirl, I couldn’t resist one more of those sweaters, but I hope they last for years. I’m also trying to wear more makeup and the lip crayon (Clinique, I think) is one of my faves.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-year-same-me#post-2089630 Sat, 04 Jan 2020 22:21:25 +0000 kkards 2089630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1st of all...that XMas present is outstanding, thoughtful, personal and meaningful. perfect<br />2nd...you are the master of the metalic footwear! love love love the matching bag and footwear in #2 and the sparkly chucks FAB!&nbsp;<br />3rd..you are rocking the Xmas sweaters!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-year-same-me#post-2089600 Sat, 04 Jan 2020 19:22:16 +0000 rachylou 2089600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Harper’s is so cool!

You will cherish that forever. Love all of your outfits and your fun, eclectic style. I love how you incorporate sparkle and color--I need to do more of that with what I have in my closet. My problem is in the execution--it seems like a good idea but then I can't walk out the door. The new Fryes are killer and can't wait to see those in an outfit! Happy new year! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-year-same-me#post-2089570 Sat, 04 Jan 2020 17:22:47 +0000 Cardiff girl 2089570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a thoughtful gift from your husband,that’s one to treasure.You look cute in &nbsp;all your &nbsp;festive wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-year-same-me#post-2089561 Sat, 04 Jan 2020 16:54:38 +0000 Mirjana 2089561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you look really amazing, all outfits are fantastic, I can't pic favorite. I love all, but the best #1 and #7. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-year-same-me#post-2089559 Sat, 04 Jan 2020 16:40:15 +0000 Christina F. 2089559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy new year! Like many of us on the forum, I’m trying to shop less, though I did spend some gift cards and items are trickling in via the mail. I believe I have enough items to enjoy my new less narrow bottom silhouette, though. More importantly, outfits like #17 feel right now-chic and comfy and authentic. </p> <p>As I posted in my 2020 goals, I have some ideas about keeping myself on track but I will have to see how they work out. I truly don’t see much I want - but what I want, I really want, even if it’s similar to stuff I have. We’ll see how it goes. </p> <p>1-11 are some pictures including what I wore for the holidays-sparkly chucks, a new red puffer (needed one to cover my knees). </p> <p>12 are a gift of Frye booties from my mom. </p> <p>13 is Christmas Day. I look happy but I was ill with a cold :(</p> <p>14 is in Seneca Falls, outside Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s house; my in laws took me for a pilgrimage when I visited them over the holidays. </p> <p>15-17 are outfits since the new year and my return to work. </p> <p>18 is really special. My husband took an old Harper’s cover we saw at the Met, and commissioned an art piece in the same style, starring me and my cats. I need to frame it and hang it soon!<br /> The original art is here: <a href="https://collectionapi.metmuseum.org/api/collection/v1/iiif/339496/774106/restricted" rel="nofollow">https://collectionapi.metmuseu.....restricted</a> </p>
