Love #2 and #3. I agree with Harmonica, you are so inspiring </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-extreme-cold#post-1446153 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 19:58:40 +0000 Sveta 1446153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>harmonica, Una - thanks!<br />Laura, I am not a fan of opaque tights with skirts. I have a pair of patterned grey tights I sometimes wear with skirts. Last week I wore simple sheer hose thankful to the fact that my long puffer covers the top of my tall lined boots so I am warm enough for short walks outside even when it is very cold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-extreme-cold#post-1446140 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 19:30:33 +0000 Laura 1446140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outfit #2, 3, 4 all look so chic on you! I love how you inspire many of us, letting us know that it is possible to look great, even in cold climates </p> <p>I also completely agree with you that a pair of tall boots is critical, especially for those of us who love to wear skirts, even during the cooler seasons. Do you also have a pair of cute high denier tights to pair with your skirts during the winter seasons? If so, what kind of tights do you usually wear with skirts?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-extreme-cold#post-1446130 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 19:14:01 +0000 catgirl 1446130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE #2 so much.&nbsp; And look at your striped theme week!&nbsp; You are truly inspiring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-extreme-cold#post-1446062 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 17:09:35 +0000 harmonica 1446062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab looks! You totally beat the freezing cold with your style! Footwear is so important in cold weather and your feet (and your outfits) need variety. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-extreme-cold#post-1446009 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 15:53:52 +0000 Sveta 1446009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elizabeth, I missed your last question. The red bag is not Danier. It is Chromia bag I got at Winners several years ago. Your new blue Danier bag is fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-extreme-cold#post-1445694 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 22:51:34 +0000 Sveta 1445694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a very full weekend schedule (good one) so just getting to comment back now.<br /><b>Donna, Hilary, tr3kkie9rl, Runcarla, Caro, Missey, shevia</b>&nbsp;- thank you!<br /><b>Janet,</b> actually it is good I have to go to the office because it gives me a reason to dress up in the morning. I don't have too - nobody would raise an eyebrow if I wear jeans and sweaters every day &nbsp;- but I want too.&nbsp;<br /><b>kkards, </b>I would not wear a skirt in this cold if I were to spend a lot of time outdoors but for the office - why not? It gives me more variety which I crave - and my new dressy winter boots makes it easy!<br /><b>Suz</b>, yes - footwear rules in our climate.&nbsp;<br /><b>Zibbets</b> - high five on the "riding" love!<br /><b>Joy</b>, I would also like a light pair of booties which can handle the snow. My ultimate wish is for dove or silvery grey but I have almost no hope ever to find them.<br /><b>Windchime</b>, I hope you find both white and light grey jeans soon.<br /><b>Karie</b>, I HEAR you on the snow and cold. I have enough!<br /><b>Style Fan, Firecracker, Summer</b>&nbsp;- &nbsp;I am glad that my footwear points make sense.<br /><b>Shannon</b> - this long gilet is a workhorse for sure - and a prize winner as well!<br /><b>rachy</b> - LOL!<br /><b>Elizabeth</b>, we understand each other perfectly then! :-0 These booties are UGGs and they hold up to snow pretty well. I had to add slip resistant soles to them though as they were too slippery. On the brighter side the sole is substantial enough to provide warmth and they have sheepskin soles inside - a real bonus in winter. I cannot wear them for long time when it is really cold (below &nbsp;-20C) but they are fine for a short walk from the car in this weather or when the temps are not too low (under -15C).&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-extreme-cold#post-1445519 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 11:28:52 +0000 Elizabeth P 1445519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Once again, a week of wonderful outfits. I love the variation in them, yet they are all very much you. I love the pop of lightness and colour the scarf adds, good choice! And I think the necklace is perfect. You might not be used to seeing yourself in chunky jewelry these days, which might be throwing off your perception of yourself, but it looks great. </p> <p>And I hear you on the boots. It was only last year I found high boots with a 1.5-2" heel that were totally weatherproof, and it completely opened up the dress and skirt option for me. My high boots before that were normal leather and they would ger ruined in our slushy winters. And I got tired of lugging a change of footwear when I wore "proper" chunky winter boots. I've since added to my collection as well, keeping the weather more in mind! </p> <p>I'm curious about your booties... Do you wear them outside or carry them?</p> <p>Is your orange bag Danier? It looks very similar to my blue one in shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-extreme-cold#post-1445513 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 10:16:39 +0000 Summer 1445513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all beautiful, Sveta, but I particularly like the equestrian vibe of 3 - very striking. &nbsp;I also love 4, which strikes me as very&nbsp;elegant.</p> <p>You were wise to add to your footwear collection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-extreme-cold#post-1445503 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 08:05:09 +0000 rachylou 1445503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That long vest is so incredible. But man, I'd be in snow pants. I'm pretty sure about that... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-extreme-cold#post-1445476 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 04:10:13 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1445476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, these outfits are all beautiful on you. I can't believe how stylish you are in cold weather. 3 and 4 are especially swoon-worthy. Glad you've got a good collection of boots started. I've found them invaluable in my climate, too. Seattle isn't that cold, but most years, I wear boots for at least half the year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-extreme-cold#post-1445472 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 04:04:53 +0000 Jaime 1445472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous all around - #3 is especially striking.

Simply gorgeous!</p> <p>And your grey gilet works perfectly with the skirt. That item is really turning out to be quite the workhorse isn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-extreme-cold#post-1445403 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 01:37:45 +0000 Style Fan 1445403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks.&nbsp; You make such a good point about footwear.&nbsp; I never had enough when I was working.&nbsp; I always wanted more boots but felt guilty about buying them.&nbsp; Now I realize the need.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-extreme-cold#post-1445397 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 01:26:02 +0000 Karie 1445397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 and #4 are my favorites. And I agree it is an absolute NECESSITY to have a good boot collection in our awful winters. Not sure about where you are, but around here all it does is snow. And get colder.&nbsp;And snow some more. And get colder still. Brr.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-extreme-cold#post-1445350 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 21:31:21 +0000 Windchime 1445350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're keeping up your excellent style through the cold. Your new light grey jeans should be a great addition to your wardrobe; they will fit right in with many items you already have. I want to eventually get grey jeans, too, but first have to find white ones.</p> <p>To my eye, the necklace in #4 is just fine; it's a non-scarf way of bringing light color and brightness to your outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-extreme-cold#post-1445342 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 21:18:55 +0000 Caro in Oz 1445342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #3 &amp; #4 - so streamlined &amp; chic.

I like all of these outfits and marvel at your bitter cold style. #1 is my favorite, but I have a sugar eye for grey and white.<br /> I want to add more calf or ankle high boots/booties but in a light shade for variety. We are expecting over a foot of snow by tomorrow ( in Colorado) and dropping temperatures, but nothing like what you have had. </p>
