Nice to see you post again, PF. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-it-real-challenge#post-1388616 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 15:49:16 +0000 PalmFronds 1388616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you again YLF family! Both those looks are pretty representative of my fall/winter wardrobe outside of working environment, although I am going to try mixing it up more with skirts and dresses when I can.&nbsp; Skirts/tops will be much more feasible for me than dresses as I am still nursing.I am also thinking about getting one or two wool clamdiggers as I really like that option for milder days.<br />LisaP, nope your monitor is not really too of. Those cords are a really dark grey and even in person they do read almost purple unless you have them in the light.<br />I am a total sucker for burgundy and I was SO happy when it turned out to be one of the "it" colors for this fall! I'll suffer through being unfashionable in future when I can't find it in stores but keep wearing it because I like it so much, ha ha ha ha!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-it-real-challenge#post-1388586 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 15:22:49 +0000 Anonymous 1388586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - I had the same thought as Suz - what a nice collection of coats! &nbsp;I LOVE the Andrew Marc cape coat. &nbsp;And you look terrific in reds and burgundies! &nbsp;I'm beginning to think my monitor's colour settings are off though, as I see the cords in pic 1 as almost dark purple or burgundy. Must do something about this - it's not the first time I've misread a colour here:) &nbsp;Anyways, pretty nice looks for keeping it real! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-it-real-challenge#post-1388580 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 15:17:54 +0000 kellygirl 1388580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omg, you are a gorgeous creature! Love your outfit. Both coats are divine on you. Love the rich autumnal palette and the flat boots that fit you so well. Terrific start to the challenge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-it-real-challenge#post-1388577 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 15:12:31 +0000 PalmFronds 1388577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Forgot to say also that the cape coat has become both a basic and a statement in my wardrobe. I wear it a lot because I love it and our winters tend to be fairly mild, but it is more of a statement coat itself I guess. Ah coat love... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-it-real-challenge#post-1388574 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 15:10:37 +0000 PalmFronds 1388574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! Sara , that coat was my one big splurge during pregnancy when I otherwise vowed not to spend much on a wardrobe that would only serve me for a short time. But I loved the color so much and everytime I put it on, even on those days when my body hurt in late pregnancy, it made me smile:-) I had hoped because it jacked a true panel infront that it could live past pregnancy so I am glad it doesn't scream " belly in here!!!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-it-real-challenge#post-1388571 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 15:06:48 +0000 Neel 1388571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That cape coat is fantastic over the yummylicious color combo underneath! Wow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-it-real-challenge#post-1388538 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 14:30:46 +0000 Lisa 1388538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a gorgeous cape coat, and so fun with the brighter color peeking out from underneath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-it-real-challenge#post-1388533 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 14:28:07 +0000 Sara L. 1388533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great casual outfits. The coat doesn't look maternity so I think it's fine to keep wearing it. It's a really pretty color so I can see why you would want to keep it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-it-real-challenge#post-1388532 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 14:27:24 +0000 Anonymous 1388532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, what tummy colours in #1 and I too love your cape. I also like the drape of the cowl neck on your sweater. I like the deep burgundy paired with the lighter blue and white top..nice combo and another fab coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-it-real-challenge#post-1388527 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 14:23:26 +0000 PalmFronds 1388527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz! I am a bit of a coat-holic I admit. I never did get to post on the coat thread about it but I do have quite a few mid weight(4) and lighter jackets/trenches(4). That's excluding my blazers! In my defense, if I need one(smile) I have a medical condition where I get weak and dizzy in the cold, so I actually do need to be covered fairly well. Here in SC it is in the 40's, cold for us but prob not too bad for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-it-real-challenge#post-1388513 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 14:12:50 +0000 Suz 1388513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My goodness. My first thought was that you have a terrific collection of coats! And to hear you live in the south! I think, as a Canuck, I need to step up my game. I especially love that cape.&nbsp;</p> <p>Both of these are lovely outfits, and beautifully autumnal! You are off to a great start!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-it-real-challenge#post-1388492 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 13:47:06 +0000 PalmFronds 1388492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay I'm off to a decent start, I actually have pics!</p> <p>First us from brunch with inlaws over the weekend, our first really cold day in the south.<br /> Grey slim corduroys AT loft<br /> Burgundy sweater turtleneck, Loft<br /> Black boots<br /> Andrew Marc cape coat,4 years old<br /> Grey chew beads for baby happiness<br /> :-)</p> <p>Second is from yesterday making grocery run, another cold day.
