( I added some vintage '50s rhinestone clip earrings and felt dressy enough.)&nbsp; Your dress is such a pretty shade of burgundy, and the ponte pants were a good solution for&nbsp; a cold Winter outing. Thanks for sharing the outfit, and Happy New Year! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--dressing-up-in-freezing-temps#post-1873077 Sat, 30 Dec 2017 16:38:04 +0000 Christina F. 1873077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! The bar was warm but I was glad to be in a sweater. I won’t freeze just to look good. More power to her, I guess! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--dressing-up-in-freezing-temps#post-1872851 Fri, 29 Dec 2017 21:14:05 +0000 Cee 1872851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know how the lady in the white dress hadn't passed out from hypothermia !</p> <p>A few years ago I attended a party at a ski lodge that was thankfully well heated, but I wore a dark cashmere turtleneck with a tweed blazer and wool slacks and boots and froze on the five minute walk from where we were staying !&nbsp;</p> <p>...and LOL to Rachylou </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--dressing-up-in-freezing-temps#post-1872835 Fri, 29 Dec 2017 20:15:15 +0000 rachylou 1872835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s a beautiful dress!</p> <p>Simply no idea how a person dresses up in 14 degree weather... except throw some diamonds over the snow suit... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--dressing-up-in-freezing-temps#post-1872797 Fri, 29 Dec 2017 18:18:04 +0000 SarahD8 1872797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely items, I can picture how great you must have looked. What a great Christmas gift!</p> <p>I run cold so I will be watching the development of your cold weather dressy capsule with interest.</p> <p>For fleece lined tights, have you looked at Sock Dreams? Wide selection, good range of sizes, and often info on how items work with specific fit issues (not just reviews, staff will evaluate and say things like: these stretch to fit ppl up to X height and thighs up to Y circumference). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--dressing-up-in-freezing-temps#post-1872792 Fri, 29 Dec 2017 18:03:17 +0000 tanstaafl 1872792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely choices!&nbsp; I'm struggling with what to wear for NYE for the same reason, it's going to be FREEZING!&nbsp; I'm planning on wearing some long underwear under my pants, and I'm switching from pumps to booties.&nbsp; And I may need to accessorize with a warm scarf rather than a necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw--dressing-up-in-freezing-temps#post-1872785 Fri, 29 Dec 2017 17:48:19 +0000 Christina F. 1872785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sadly, I didn't take an outfit pic. But last night, I went to a fancy speakeasy, which was my Christmas gift to my husband. I realized the day of that what I planned to wear wouldn't work because it was going to be about 14 F outside! </p> <p>Fortunately, a sweater dress from LOFT came to the rescue. I'm glad I dressed up at least a little! There was a lady there in a white plunging dress with cut-outs on her back. Unless she was staying in the hotel where the bar was located, I have no idea how she managed that outfit in the current weather! Other people were in jeans, though, so my outfit was pretty much down the middle, which is my hope in these situations!</p> <p>I'm starting to fill out my dressy cold weather capsule, which is a good thing if this winter stays as cold as it is now! I'm finding an increasing use for such items, so I don't mind the last minute purchase. I will likely also take this dress on a ski weekend later in the winter. It clung a bit too much to the ponte pants (could see the zipper), but for those temps I couldn't do tights. (I can't find fleece ones that fit me well - they don't stretch enough in the thighs).</p> <p>I'll be spending NYE with my family in Rhode Island, pretty dressed down, so that's it for my dressy occasions until 2018. Happy New Year, everyone! </p>
