I can't see well enough to see any problem with the fit of the tuxedo jacket. The cobalt brightens the black column perfectly &amp; the 3rd one looks great with the black boots. You are tall enough to look great with the contrast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-warm-in-a-polar-vortex#post-1400408 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 03:18:29 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1400408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, do you ever shine in cold weather, Sveta! You are just stunning in black and white--I love both 1 and 3. You look so very elegant in both of them. Love the new blazer! And the middle outfit is gorgeous, too, with its cool casual vibe. <br />Stay warm! You are already stylish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-warm-in-a-polar-vortex#post-1400404 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 03:05:13 +0000 Karie 1400404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Horrible weather, and please don't send it my way! We only got a dusting of snow.&nbsp;</p> <p>Each outfit is more fab than the one before it! I simply can not pick a favorite, I love them all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-warm-in-a-polar-vortex#post-1400398 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 02:56:22 +0000 Anonymous 1400398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmmm, wider could be good, taller less so. I actually just ordered a really nice&nbsp;cognac&nbsp;pair on Amazon to try on&nbsp;once I saw&nbsp;there was only one left in my size. It claims to be 15.5" high, which is probably my upper limit for shaft height, so crossing my fingers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-warm-in-a-polar-vortex#post-1400385 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 02:35:15 +0000 Sveta 1400385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aubergine, Diana got some Blondo boots last year too and they worked well for her in Boston - so you should be sorted. I find the shaft to be on the taller and wider side though, especially for a larger size - so hopefully it works for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-warm-in-a-polar-vortex#post-1400382 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 02:13:15 +0000 Anonymous 1400382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, that sounds really encouraging about Blondos. If they can handle Canada, DC winters should be nothing for them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-warm-in-a-polar-vortex#post-1400310 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 23:54:00 +0000 Sveta 1400310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the comments!<br />We had another dump of snow today so I stayed and worked from home. It is going to be all gone on the weekend when temps rise to +10C - what a weird weather! This gives me hope to get more wear out of my booties before winter comes for good.<br />I am very glad that I risked getting this BCBG jacket at the cinsignment last Saturday - I really like it and the length, the length! My black tux looks pretty tame next to it now The only problem that the sleaves are pretty narrow and it limits what I can wear under it. Thin t-nck like this Gap one is fine and sleeveless tops are fine too. More subtstantial cotton shirts may be a problem. I was surprised that even my orange silk shirt was not comforatble - the silk is think but the sleeves are pretty wide so I think it was the excess fabric. But I guess I just select tops which work with it and have fun with them.<br />Suz, I tried to find this jacket online but no luck :-(<br />Aida, get those culottes hemmed ASAP, we need to do a twin day again :-)<br />Honestly I wa not wearing my tall boots too until this snow came - nad then I did not have a choice :-(<br />Una, LOL at your "heat wave" description - especially compared with Lucy's +40C heat wave in Australia :-)<br />I think white jeans with black boots will be worn A LOT this winter because black boots are the only tall boots I have which are winter-worthy - and because I am going to wear white jeans in winter. They make me happy and if I have to wash them after 2 wears - be it!<br />Peri - LOL, I think it may be a bit late to start a modeling career now - kind of mid-life crisis? :-)<br />Amy, I want to see your copy!<br />Aubergine - I am happy if my post helped you with your boot shopping. My Blondo boots were tested in 2 our Canadian winters and especially in last year Polar Vortex - and passed with flying colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-warm-in-a-polar-vortex#post-1400304 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 23:35:48 +0000 Lucy 1400304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These 3 looks are all AMAZING! I don't know which is my fav - each is better than the last! I also admire that they all have your strong and striking look, but are all a bit different to each other as well. And you rock them all!&nbsp;</p> <p>Funny to read of cold weather in so many posts. For us here in Australia, we are having the opposite! Today in Sydney we are expecting 40 degrees C. So it is stay inside and wear cotton weather..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-warm-in-a-polar-vortex#post-1400255 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 22:25:56 +0000 Aida 1400255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ack! I totally adore #1. Lengths on everything are <i>just perfect</i>. Love the fit of the BF tuxedo blazer, I vote wear it just like that. I still need to get my culottes hemmed &gt;&lt; #2 is a great "almost all black" look, the cobalt looks even richer with this pairing. #3 is superb. LOVE the look of the tall black boots with the white skinnies, I tried it a few times last winter and fell for it too. I've been putting off my tall boots as much as possible since there's plenty of that weather coming up, but I'm definitely filing this away as inspiration for when the time comes! I can do the navy turtleneck, but can only dream of having a blazer that cool to pop over the top. Yumm!</p> <p>(Can't believe all the snow that's already falling! Glad we've just had cold with no precipitation. Plennnnnty of time for that :p Hoping you get a break from it soon.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-warm-in-a-polar-vortex#post-1400157 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 19:03:21 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1400157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So elegant, Sveta. And good planning with the boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-warm-in-a-polar-vortex#post-1400154 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 18:57:55 +0000 catgirl 1400154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh how you rock those culottes. And leather! All of it. Amazing.</p> <p>Meanwhile it's a heat wave up here - 40s and no snow in sight! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-warm-in-a-polar-vortex#post-1400150 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 18:54:49 +0000 Gracie 1400150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful outfits - my favorite is #3 - simple, and perfectly fitting black, ink and white. I must take inspiration from you for cold-weather dressing. When it gets "really cold"(Central Texas, ha!) something in my brain snaps to "I don't care how I look, I just want to be warm – wrap me in a furry blanket and cinch a rope around the waist." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-warm-in-a-polar-vortex#post-1400084 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 16:29:09 +0000 Classically Casual 1400084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, your WIW's just get better and better. You've really nailed your personal style. Number 3 is especially stunning to my eye.</p> <p>So sorry about your early cold weather, I think we can all be happy we aren't in Buffalo, NY this week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-warm-in-a-polar-vortex#post-1400078 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 16:12:32 +0000 Beth Ann 1400078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving them all -- even though they'd be more welcome in January.&nbsp; Cobalt and black always make me happy -- and this is a strong, modern silhouette.&nbsp; The sharp shoulder line in the black jacket seem particularly fresh to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-warm-in-a-polar-vortex#post-1400061 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 15:03:59 +0000 carambola 1400061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunningly gorgeous x3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-warm-in-a-polar-vortex#post-1400059 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 14:57:04 +0000 texstyle 1400059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful outfits Sveta - so glad you kept the jeans as they look fantastic on you, especially the way you've styled them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-warm-in-a-polar-vortex#post-1400057 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 14:54:39 +0000 Anonymous 1400057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta - you are one lucky woman! &nbsp;All of these outfits are dead-flattering - no question. &nbsp;I'm not the biggest fan of white jeans as I don't see them as terribly flattering on everyone, but with your long lean legs - you rock them! &nbsp;Love these high contrast looks. &nbsp;Cold PV weather here too in Wpg - horribly windy and cold yesterday and apparently it's -25C with wind-chill out there right now. Yikes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-warm-in-a-polar-vortex#post-1400038 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 14:03:00 +0000 Peri 1400038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW!!! Love all but LOVE #2.</p> <p>Have you ever thought of entering a model contest? Like More magazine does one I think. You seriously should think about that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-warm-in-a-polar-vortex#post-1400034 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 13:58:18 +0000 jackiec 1400034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Out-STAN-ding, Sveta! Love them all! I'm glad you pointed out the navy turtleneck in #3. I would have never tried this before Angie. I'm glad you've kept the white jeans - they look fab and will be so useful. I also love the culottes - amazing that you can bring them right into the winter like that. And the cobalt does indeed brighten #2. Can't believe it's snowy &amp; cold for you already. We had a nice cold, clear snap last week but today it is back to miserable rain... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-warm-in-a-polar-vortex#post-1400029 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 13:54:14 +0000 Jaime 1400029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just gorgeous Sveta. I love the culottes with black boots, the cobalt jacket looks like a million bucks on you and I adore the new jacket and that entire outfit. Three fabulous outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-warm-in-a-polar-vortex#post-1400027 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 13:48:26 +0000 amiable 1400027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these - and I was just trying to decide what to wear tomorrow to speak in a University class. &nbsp;I think I'm going to copy #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-warm-in-a-polar-vortex#post-1400018 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 13:21:03 +0000 Anonymous 1400018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything looks stunning! I don't think #2 is too dark at all, and love the dramatic lines of #3.</p> <p>By the way, I've been kind of looking for another pair of presentable weatherproof boots after remembering how sick I got of my only pair last year, and your Finds reminded me to look at Blondo boots. So thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-warm-in-a-polar-vortex#post-1399997 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 11:31:16 +0000 Suz 1399997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Sveta, these are all absolutely gorgeous, but #3 literally made me gasp. You are a YLF runway model, no question. What a fantastic outfit and you wear it so very well. That jacket is beyond wonderful. I think I need one, too! I wonder if ebay might be a source (said the lemming).&nbsp;</p> <p>Horrible weather. It is not as bad as Buffalo, but still. Nobody needs this now.&nbsp;</p> <p>Freezing, too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-warm-in-a-polar-vortex#post-1399986 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 10:56:18 +0000 krishnidoux 1399986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You must be the most stylish gal in this cold spell! I admire your initiative to wear white through it all. Brilliant!</p> <p>I love your bag too. It goes with everything and perfectly proportioned with you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-warm-in-a-polar-vortex#post-1399984 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 10:42:42 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1399984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, they are all excellent cold weather choices. &nbsp;I think #3 is my favorite and I love the new white jeans with tall black boots.</p> <p>There was quite a bit of snow yesterday. &nbsp;I stepped off the curb into a slushy mess last night. &nbsp;I don't find it too cold though. &nbsp;The last few days in Winnipeg were a bit colder but with a biting wind. &nbsp;BRRRR </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-warm-in-a-polar-vortex#post-1399977 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 09:43:31 +0000 lyn67 1399977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, nr 3 is sharpest and edgiest off your all times! Amazed you can sport winter whites so easy in that OMG so cold and big snow! By us is still sunny and mild autumn BUT, no matter what's your weather,&nbsp;YLF as always, Sveta!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-warm-in-a-polar-vortex#post-1399962 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 07:22:46 +0000 Astrid 1399962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All fantastic outfits, but I LOVE #1 with the culottes. Absolutely fabulous! You did well dressing for the temperatures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-keeping-warm-in-a-polar-vortex#post-1399956 Thu, 20 Nov 2014 06:56:42 +0000 Diana 1399956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you are really rocking the strong, graphic statements lately. #3 is my particular favorite, I love the combo of the equestrian vibe with the really modern, sharp lines and graphic black and white palette. So sharp and stunning!</p> <p>Hoping it warms up for you soon. It's been very cold here but the forecast is for 60F next week. Crazy. </p>
