My solution is a warm sweater dress with tights or leggings, socks and boots. It looks just dressy/ casual confused enough that I don't get the dressed up comments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1208---casual-dont-dress-up#post-1108554 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 13:30:56 +0000 El Cee 1108554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look "casual chic" and, at the same time, in line with your own signature style (which is fab!). Besides --&nbsp;"Casual" can be interpreted so many ways. Like you, I often shy away from jeans in slushy winter as once the jeans&nbsp;get wet, they take forever to dry. Who wants to be wet and cold? I often opt for skirts, tights and boots to avoid the soggy jeans saga. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1208---casual-dont-dress-up#post-1108552 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 13:30:05 +0000 amiable 1108552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1208---casual-dont-dress-up#post-1108544 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 13:21:57 +0000 donnat 1108544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute and casual.

Ugh. I feel your pain!! But you look perfectly comfortable <b>AND</b> put together in your stylish way. To heck with them!&nbsp;</p> <p>Plus, you have an amazingly tiny waist!! :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1208---casual-dont-dress-up#post-1108326 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 03:29:15 +0000 Neel 1108326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol! I get that all the time now! But in my social affairs, people think it is OK to show up in shorts, tee and flip flops! I used to dress for them earlier. Now I dress for myself.</p> <p>You look comfy and gorgeous color combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1208---casual-dont-dress-up#post-1108315 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 03:13:47 +0000 Karie 1108315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look casual in <i><b>your</b></i> stylish way - and you look fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1208---casual-dont-dress-up#post-1108287 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 02:49:58 +0000 carambola 1108287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! Love those patterns together. Plaid is casual, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1208---casual-dont-dress-up#post-1108281 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 02:45:56 +0000 Gigi 1108281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This "curious summons" reminds me of what a nosedive style has taken in general.&nbsp;Even in the forties and fifties, the "casual" dress was a lot dressier than it is today. Nice way to be yourself and still maintain your style, Lyn! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1208---casual-dont-dress-up#post-1108124 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 23:58:42 +0000 Anonymous 1108124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh, I hate events where I feel like I'll stick out if I don't wear jeans. If I want to wear a skirt or dress anyway, I end up going&nbsp;through a ridiculous&nbsp;amount of effort to make sure it's obviously dressed down&nbsp;without looking completely slobby.</p> <p>So I'm impressed that you did such a great job of putting together a casual&nbsp;skirt outfit! I really like the pattern mixing you have going on and the cute cranberry cardigan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1208---casual-dont-dress-up#post-1108099 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 23:32:14 +0000 Thistle 1108099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look arm and snugly in your coat. Hope you had fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1208---casual-dont-dress-up#post-1108058 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 22:59:40 +0000 Anonymous 1108058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too funny. I guess you can always assure them that you didn't go to any trouble (in fact, getting a jeans ensemble together would have no doubt produced much more stress for you) and that this&nbsp;<i>is</i> your casual.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the shape that belted cardi is making on your torso. Fun pattern mixing, warm boots, check, check! You're good to go; have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1208---casual-dont-dress-up#post-1108050 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 22:48:51 +0000 Sharon 1108050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, that's always tricky, especially if it comes from someone who comments that you "always look dressed up". You look lovely - I think this is the epitome of smart casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1208---casual-dont-dress-up#post-1108020 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 22:04:17 +0000 lyn* 1108020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a curious summons! </p> <p>I still don't really like to wear jeans (they freeze and make your legs super cold) so I went for my usual. </p> <p>I don't think I am really that dressed up; toned down the makeup to almost nothing, though. My skin is happy with me today! </p>
