Cheers to being grateful for the sunshine. It doesn’t do much to warm our skin right now, but it makes everything happier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bombogenesis-2018#post-1875830 Sat, 06 Jan 2018 04:39:32 +0000 Beth Ann 1875830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No blizzard here in the midwest, but the temp was -6 with -25 windchill this morning.&nbsp; Brrrr!&nbsp; I was grateful for the sunshine, at least!<br />Love your layers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bombogenesis-2018#post-1875690 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 22:57:55 +0000 Mainelady 1875690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We are pretty tough here. Many schools acoss the state were closed for a second day. We had some mixed precipitation which limited snow accumulations and the storm ended earlier than predicted, so with 2 extra hours we were able to get into the parking lot and have all exits cleared. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bombogenesis-2018#post-1875656 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 22:07:12 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1875656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2 hour delay? You guys are tough! Where I grew up, that would shut us down for days. Maybe your district isn’t as rural as mine was. We didn’t quite have hills &amp; hollers, but we did have hills, pretty small roads, and probably not enough snow plows. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bombogenesis-2018#post-1875649 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 22:00:25 +0000 Mainelady 1875649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, La Pedestrienne. I enjoy the snow, but not the windchill. By the time recess rolled around the temp was 20 degrees, but the windchill was -5 degrees. Another day of inside recess. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bombogenesis-2018#post-1875394 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 12:34:11 +0000 LaPed 1875394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair looks lovely, and I love the contrast with the buffalo scarf.</p> <p>Not looking forward to the windchill today... worse than the snow if you ask me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bombogenesis-2018#post-1875370 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 11:10:13 +0000 Mainelady 1875370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you shevia, Joy and rachylou!<br /> Red is a happy color for me and it does make me feel warmer. I add quite a bit of red and plaids to our winter decor, because to my eye it adds visual warmth and coziness.<br /> Thanks rachylou! I saw a meme on FB that my part of the state had no survivors. I am happy to report that a few of us managed to outlast the blizzard. Our schools have a 2 hour delay to allow time for clean up. With the giant snow and and drifts the kidlets are going to have a wonderful time at recess today! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bombogenesis-2018#post-1875290 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 05:57:42 +0000 rachylou 1875290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, you look cozy and your hair is excellent Stay safe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bombogenesis-2018#post-1875278 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 05:08:37 +0000 Anonymous 1875278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fabulous and the red is especially great on you. Just wearing red might help you feel warmer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bombogenesis-2018#post-1875274 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 05:01:46 +0000 Jaime 1875274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think the red looks harsh at all. Your hair looks fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bombogenesis-2018#post-1875211 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 02:45:30 +0000 Mainelady 1875211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisaflex, you sound warm and cozy and have taken care of your home the best you can. All things are better with wine.</p> <p>Thank you Dianna. I love living in Maine and enjoy all 4 seasons. Usually our winters are beautiful and we spend a lot of time outside. So far this winter has been unusually cold with little snow until today.</p> <p>Thank you Windchime. Aha! You may have hit upon something I hadn’t considered: how dark eyes, skin and hair color can create balance. I do think my dark eyes may be help me be able to wear some of the darker colors that I enjoy so much.</p> <p>Fashintern, you have me laughing. No, no, no. Not a blizzard bombshell, although that is an interesting idea. </p> <p>Thank you Angie, I hope you are right. I used to be able to wear red-orange, too. Crossing my fingers for team red. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bombogenesis-2018#post-1875131 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 01:00:03 +0000 Angie 1875131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this blue red on you, and it doesn't look harsh. It's going to look better and better the greyer you go.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bombogenesis-2018#post-1875117 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 00:36:47 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1875117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn’t know bombogenesis was a thing, thought you were turning into a bombshell, which isn’t exactly supported by the picture of you in thick layers or what you wrote, lol. </p> <p>I just looked it up. Such a big drop in air pressure sounds like headache time to me! </p> <p>Besides the bad roads, your husband and son must work in the cold a lot too. I’m glad to hear their customers are appropriately grateful. </p> <p>Lisaflex, do you get Lake effect snow? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bombogenesis-2018#post-1875107 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 00:14:02 +0000 Windchime 1875107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From my screen, I think the red scarf and tunic are very flattering, Mainelady. They sure are beautiful with your hair! My face is more red (one friend calls it "ruddy") as I've aged than it ever used to be, and for that reason, I've wondered if I shouldn't wear red anymore. But it still seems to work well on me, and I gets compliments when I wear it. I guess my hair and eye color balance out my skin color. Or something!</p> <p>Don't overdo shoveling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bombogenesis-2018#post-1875101 Thu, 04 Jan 2018 23:58:47 +0000 Dianna 1875101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You wear red very well, Mainelady!&nbsp; Stay safe and warm, I can't even imagine what a snowstorm is like.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bombogenesis-2018#post-1875097 Thu, 04 Jan 2018 23:47:59 +0000 lisaflex 1875097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>we too are bitter cold with frigid wind chills here in NE ohio....i am currently in cuddle duds base layers, black warm cozy joggers, and a fleece sweatshirt and my warm ll bean slippers!!! hoping no frozen pipes! waters running in all faucets at a low level, cupboards are open where there is plumbing fixtures....drinking red wine to stay warm. lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bombogenesis-2018#post-1875073 Thu, 04 Jan 2018 23:07:51 +0000 Mainelady 1875073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you JAileen! I am hoping that I will still be able to wear the majority of my favorite colors, even if the hue needs to change a bit.<br /> Chris, yes, clients are so grateful and appreciate the service even more when travel conditions create extra challenges. I especially appreciate knowing that everyone has made it home safely and hope they can all get some much needed rest. We have a bit of a lull here and will get some rain and sleet before precipitation changes back to snow, so hopefully the plowing is done until very early tomorrow morning.<br /> I appreciate being informed about the weather but have decided to read the updates. This is a big storm, but listening to the forecasters add dramatic voices is getting old. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bombogenesis-2018#post-1875037 Thu, 04 Jan 2018 21:36:10 +0000 Chris987 1875037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Mainelady, being out working in this weather would be a huge hassle, although all your DH's clients will no doubt be so grateful to see him. As I'm typing this one of the Boston meteorologists is explaining AGAIN exactly what bombogenesis is. :-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bombogenesis-2018#post-1875016 Thu, 04 Jan 2018 21:10:06 +0000 JAileen 1875016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! Red is your color.</p> <p>I can't imagine the weather you're having. While last year was a record year for us precipitation-wise, yesterday when they measured the snow we were at 3 percent of normal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bombogenesis-2018#post-1875013 Thu, 04 Jan 2018 21:08:42 +0000 Mainelady 1875013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chris your inner and outerwear sound perfectly toasty for the freezing temps and this storm. I hope your power stays on and you can keep your house temps comfortable. With the stretch of figid temps and little snow coverage many home heating systems have been taxed since before Christmas. DH has a Plumbing and Heating company. He and his crews have been responding non stop to frozen and burst pipes, heating systems that are struggling to keep up and/ or running out of fuel. With the blizzard, as lease homes will have some good snow to insulate things before we plunge into the deep freeze again tomorrow.<br /> My old workhorse LL Bean parka ( circa 2005) finally had to be retired. I just ordered a new down puffer coat. It is due to arrive tomorrow. I hope it is as gorgeous as Suz’s! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bombogenesis-2018#post-1875010 Thu, 04 Jan 2018 21:00:44 +0000 Chris987 1875010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this posting! We are getting the same nasty storm here in eastern Mass. My indoor outfit is very similar to yours, but not as well color-coordinated - grey&nbsp;Lee jeans, cuddleduds thermal, lands end black tneck, &nbsp;a Brooks Brothers men's fair isle heavy wool sweater in blues, wool socks, Merrill shoes, &nbsp;no makeup. DH will be getting out the snowblower soon before it gets dark to tackle the driveway, and I don't think I need to help, but if I did&nbsp;I'd be wearing a purple&nbsp;Columbia fleece jacket, black merrill snow boots, cobalt Eddie Bauer parka, wool hat DH got me in Alaska with bears dancing on it, purple neck gaiter and ski gloves so old I can't remember the brand.&nbsp; There is a Cabellas pretty close to me but I have not bought anything there yet. </p> <p>Drinking lots of tea, in&nbsp;a grey cashmere wrap, fingers crossed that the power stays&nbsp;on. It's so cold that it's hard to get the house warm and it's only going to get colder for the next few days. I imagine it's even colder where you are<b> Mainelady!</b> </p> <p>We need one of <b>Suz's </b>very heavy puffer coats!&nbsp; If only Amazon had their drone technology up and running and it worked in high winds and freezing temps....:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bombogenesis-2018#post-1875007 Thu, 04 Jan 2018 20:55:39 +0000 Mainelady 1875007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you SarahD. Maybe I can still wear the red. I wasn’t feeling too confident when viewing the picture or the image in the mirror.<br /> Fashintern, today I want to be swallowed up by a big scarf when I go outside. Minimal skin exposure will help me keep warm and dry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bombogenesis-2018#post-1875006 Thu, 04 Jan 2018 20:55:06 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1875006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look cozy, hiding behind the scarf. Stay safe and warm!</p> <p>Ps. A snuggly date night sounds good! With hot chocolate? Baked apples? Your body needs the calories to keep warm </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bombogenesis-2018#post-1875005 Thu, 04 Jan 2018 20:54:13 +0000 Mainelady 1875005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Sterling. I appreciate the vote for red. I have always felt good in the color.</p> <p>Danusia, your new robe looks perfect for today’s weather. IKWYM. I hope your daughter arrives home soon and safely. DH and DS should be out of work and heading towards home. I asked my DIL to text me when my son is safely home. We are on the coast and have had some mixed precipitation which should keep the snow accumulations down a bit. The winds are becoming more fierce. If there is any good news it is that the current weight of the snow keeps it from drifting much. It began snowing here at noon. When I went out to shovel at 3:00 we had 4-5 inches on the ground. I think we have a long night of plowing, snow blowing and shoveling ahead of us. Maybe it will seem more fun if I consider it date night. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bombogenesis-2018#post-1875003 Thu, 04 Jan 2018 20:49:22 +0000 SarahD8 1875003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, I was going to say that I think the red is a great color with your hair, and I like the no-makeup look! You look fresh, cozy, and happy.&nbsp;</p> <p>I hope everyone in the storm's path stays safe tonight! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bombogenesis-2018#post-1874999 Thu, 04 Jan 2018 20:41:09 +0000 Anonymous 1874999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mainelady, I am in southeastern Pa and while we probably will not get as much as snow as you and besides there is no way to measure the amounts since it is blowing sideways, it is freezing here. You look so warm and comfy! I am sitting here in my pj's and new Ugg robe sipping hot chocolate anxiously waiting until my DD gets home safely from&nbsp; work. If she is not home soon I may have to switch to a glass of wine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bombogenesis-2018#post-1874998 Thu, 04 Jan 2018 20:39:01 +0000 Anonymous 1874998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look cozy, comfortable, and stylish. &nbsp;Red works beautifully for you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bombogenesis-2018#post-1874982 Thu, 04 Jan 2018 19:52:01 +0000 Mainelady 1874982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today’s is not a post about a work outfit. We have a wicked winter storm going on.<br /> <a href="https://www.livescience.com/61327-bombogenesis.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.livescience.com/61.....nesis.html</a></p> <p>Today’s style choice was all about being warm, cozy and what would fit easily into snow pants, boots and a big coat. While inside I am enjoying the comforts of cozy clothing and being snuggled in safely. I have let the wind blow away most of my goals for today. I still took a pic of WIW as a part of my ongoing study of color. Today’s look features one of my most casual looks ever. One I will only wear when hunkered down at home or at our cabin.<br /> Clean skin, but not a bit of make-up<br /> Zero jewelry<br /> Ralph Lauren red waffle weave split hem tunic<br /> Black fleece lined leggings,<br /> Red and white LL Bean Rag Wool socks<br /> Cabela’s shearling lined slippers</p> <p> Before going outside to shovel I will add:<br /> Red and black buffalo check infinity scarf<br /> Columbia Black snow pants<br /> A gray Northface down jacket<br /> Cabela’s black bomber hat<br /> Thinsulate lined leather mittens<br /> Sorel Joan of Arctic boots</p> <p>Today’s happiness factor is a red and black buffalo checked throw that I am wrapped up in as I sit here watching the storm rage. It is the perfect accessory.<br /> Thoughts about red. It has always been a great neutral on me. Now I am thinking that the color seems a bit harsh. I will try it again sometime when I have a bit of make-up on and in different lighting. </p> <p>Stay safe, warm and stylish everyone. </p>
