I intend to add some bling to my red looks too, as the season gets well underway. You look beautiful in the bits of sparkle and I love how you are wearing the bling with both dressier and casual looks.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bling#post-2346379 Tue, 05 Dec 2023 17:25:51 +0000 bella 2346379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blingy necklace and plaid shirt combo is a classic holiday combo for me. Total winner! Very nice to see you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bling#post-2346376 Tue, 05 Dec 2023 16:30:16 +0000 Ket 2346376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bling and sparkle to infinity! Love you in all of these. The headband is a fantastic score! I love finding treasures in unexpected places. The pants are equally stellar. The front zipper detail is really unique and lovely on you. </p> <p>Your statement necklace makes me pine for 2010s Anthropologie and J. Crew. They both offered beautiful statement necklaces. Yours is more interesting by far though!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bling#post-2346372 Tue, 05 Dec 2023 15:05:56 +0000 Roberta 2346372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love some sparkle any time of year, but wearing those pieces with velvet, fur, and red tartan is like the angel on the top of the tree! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bling#post-2346365 Tue, 05 Dec 2023 14:36:19 +0000 Angie 2346365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>AJ,</b>&nbsp;you bling with the best of them!

You have inspired me to get out my crystal necklace for some holiday sparkle, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bling#post-2346276 Mon, 04 Dec 2023 23:50:31 +0000 AJ 2346276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have challenged myself to come up with outfits using my bling accessories for the month of December.  Here's 3 from this weekend!</p> <p>1) This grey turtleneck sweatshirt tunic and faux leather leggings are a favorite combo in cold weather.  I fancied it up with the faux fur scarf and rhinestone pin.  I had already changed out of my shoes, but imagine it with black boots (see finds).</p> <p>2-3) Every item here is old, but the plaid Banana Republic button down and tapered drawstring pants were past Angie recommendations.  Got lots of compliments on the necklace which I got from Macy's several years ago.</p> <p>3) Again nothing new here except for the holographic headband which I got from Cracker Barrel of all places!  Loft black ponte dress, silver stud earrings, and Ann Klein studded loafers.</p> <p>This week I have a book club Christmas party, a hockey game, church, as well as a game show to attend, so hopefully I will have some fun outfits to share next week!</p> <p>Thanks for stopping by and hope everyone is enjoying this special time of year! </p>
