Truly, the Kamalikulture dress really does feel like PJs. Ask Angie! She will back me up on it. There is nothing more comfy than those dresses, even though (on me) they are a bit body con. (I think on Angie it glides pretty well....I am a bit between sizes as the next size up would probably be too big.)&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway...Karie -- that sweater is from Banana Republic last year and is a bit famous here on YLF. It was an Angie pick and Ariadne, Claire, and several more of us quickly bought it. It's divine to wear -- super soft and lovely -- but it did pill and show the wear quite quickly. I'm wearing it a lot this year because I think it will be its final season.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-repeat-november-final-week-plus#post-1102691 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 13:15:39 +0000 Karie 1102691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK Suz, I simply must invest in a crash helmet for when I view your posts (she says as she picks herfself up off the floor). Too. Fab. For. Words. And you wear a dress while watching TV (she&nbsp;asks as she crawls to the closet in shame and hides the sweat pants)? WOW.<br />It's so hard to choose, but my fav is #8 - is that&nbsp;your LLBean sweater? I've been wanting to get one, but they don't have it in our local store and I'm not sure about sizing so I haven't ordered one on-line. And I will have to check out the DL 1961 legging jeans -&nbsp;I wear my Old Navy Diva's for tucking into boots and running errands, but they do bag out a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-repeat-november-final-week-plus#post-1102690 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 13:06:43 +0000 Anonymous 1102690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous, Suz! I love seeing your combinations of outfits, and your charcoal boots are lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-repeat-november-final-week-plus#post-1102673 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 10:38:01 +0000 Ornella 1102673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is what you wear when watching Mad Men??? Mad, man!</p> <p>The rest is amazing and I am enjoying the variety so much. Everything is simply&nbsp;you. Special l-o-v-e for the necklace and the shirt peeking out in #9 -&nbsp;watch out for that <i>inspired by</i> outfit soon.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-repeat-november-final-week-plus#post-1102449 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 23:11:02 +0000 Anonymous 1102449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, these are delicious outfit selections, and I must say you are looking terrific!&nbsp;The outfit with the over-sized sweater and red booties looks different to me than the first time you posted it. This time my eye went right to the hem of the sweater, where I noticed how slim your hips are. I often feel like proportions are "in the eye of the beholder" in these situations. People are all going to notice different things when they look at you. I'm not sure I ever noticed how slim your hips are before, probably because you usually don't draw a horizontal line right there, for other reasons.&nbsp;</p> <p>I really like the dotted sweater with the white jeans because the white created medium contrast with your low-contrast, medium toned sweater. Bye-bye white jeans, until the sidewalks are dry again. I love your new grey boots SO much! I'm glad the issue was resolved and you held out for what you really wanted, You look lovely in all shades of grey; the coat is fabulous! I miss my leopard scarf. I should have been smart like you and held onto mine. I can't wait to read your next post. Like a good author, you always keep us in suspense! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-repeat-november-final-week-plus#post-1102437 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 22:58:07 +0000 Caro in Oz 1102437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#9 took my breath away. What fantastic outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-repeat-november-final-week-plus#post-1102426 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 22:48:53 +0000 Suz 1102426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! I feel happy about the grey boots. They might not get much wear in any given winter, but I predict I'll have them for at least 5 years. They won't date much.&nbsp;</p> <p>Marcy, the KK dress feels too body con with tights -- they make it more clingy. Plus, it's not warm enough -- even with a jacket -- for our current outdoor temps. But it will get lots of play in the transitional months and also on these stay home nights. I swear it's as comfy as PJs, and since Mr. Suz and I regularly have an "at home" date night to watch movies and just hang out, it's the perfect thing. Loungewear that looks like actual clothing. :)</p> <p>I didn't find it difficult to put outfits together for the challenge and none of these was "forced" in the sense that they were something I would never actually wear. I was running out of possibilities, though, towards the end, and did feel a bit bored. More on that in a separate post.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks again, all!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-repeat-november-final-week-plus#post-1102396 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 22:10:59 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1102396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these are absolute winners! Love the grey boots!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-repeat-november-final-week-plus#post-1102392 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 22:07:08 +0000 Parsley 1102392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, every one of these outfits is wonderful!<br />I still love the simplicity of #1, and think it needs to get out more. The same for that gorgeous Kamalikulture dress! If it feels too body con, what about layering a jacket over it?<br />Your new boots are both fabulous. The gray ones are a great change for the usual black.</p> <p>So, I'm curious: were you finding the challenge difficult by the end of the month? If so, I sure wouldn't know it. Not one of your outfits feels forced- they all at least have the appearance of ones that you could easily put in regular rotation. </p> <p>ETA: It's sad to see those white jeans take the winter off. They look wonderful on you. You're inspiring me to put together a winter&nbsp;outfit with mine!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-repeat-november-final-week-plus#post-1102344 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 21:17:03 +0000 Carla 1102344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just looking at #3 makes me happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-repeat-november-final-week-plus#post-1102340 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 21:13:20 +0000 Alassë 1102340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a soft spot for polka dots; your charcoal boots look just right on you; those are&nbsp;very nice looking legging jeans; and I love the entire&nbsp;turtleneck + pearls + sleek leggings/boots outfit on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-repeat-november-final-week-plus#post-1102247 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 19:20:39 +0000 MsMary 1102247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just have to echo everything Angie said!&nbsp; You are so fab I can hardly stand it!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-repeat-november-final-week-plus#post-1102244 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 19:17:04 +0000 Anonymous 1102244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic as usual.&nbsp; I love all your wardrobe pieces and how you put them together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-repeat-november-final-week-plus#post-1102241 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 19:13:00 +0000 Gaylene 1102241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your decision to wear that dress to watch Mad Men, Suz! Your outfits this week prove the point that Angie keeps making over and over that "comfy" doesn't have to be synonymous with PJs or yoga pants.</p> <p>I left a comment in PeaceChick's thread about my super-frugal grandmother who, despite her parsimonious nature towards her clothes, always felt it was important to wear "good" clothes in public because what you wore in public was all about maintaining your family's good name (a rather quaint notion, I'm thinking in today's world). I'm positive that everyone in your dentist's office was probably awarding you "Best Dressed Patient" honors when you left. Your family's good name is in safe hands with you, Suz!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-repeat-november-final-week-plus#post-1102222 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 18:43:41 +0000 minimalist 1102222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're my inspiration for work-from-home fabuliciousness, Suz.</p> <p>And let's hear it for dressing up for a sofa date with the SO! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-repeat-november-final-week-plus#post-1102210 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 18:26:43 +0000 E 1102210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>5/6 made me squeal! Those boots are so fabulous! And I think they're light enough to bring some balance to your winter bottoms (um, bottom portion of your outfits might be a better way to phrase that?). Just perfection!</p> <p>All of your other outfits are fab too, which comes as no surprise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-repeat-november-final-week-plus#post-1102204 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 18:16:51 +0000 Anonymous 1102204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress in #2 looks amazing on you!

I'm always inspired by your denim ensembles- you're the queen of casual chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-repeat-november-final-week-plus#post-1102167 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 17:23:13 +0000 Suz 1102167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, I got these at an after Christmas sale (Boxing day, it's like Black Friday for Canadians) a couple of years back. I don't know if all their jeans are made of this fabric, but I think they are the best quality legging jeans I have ever seen.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-repeat-november-final-week-plus#post-1102165 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 17:21:55 +0000 Suz 1102165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, our snow was slower to come, Sveta! We got some flurries earlier but nothing that stayed. Tuesday night was the big event. And thank you for the compliments.&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't usually wear my footwear in the house -- usually I'll wear slippers.&nbsp;But I like to show the footwear in my pictures anyway because that is what people do see when I go out. :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, occasionally I will wear my shoes in our kitchen. It doesn't have a basement (just a crawl space) and the floor can get very cold. So if we are entertaining guests we don't ask them to remove their shoes. And in that case I will wear my own. </p> <p>Angie, thank you - your sweet words are very encouraging!&nbsp;</p> <p>Susie, Deb, MG - thank you! That KK dress is like wearing PJs, really -- <b>SO</b> comfy!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-repeat-november-final-week-plus#post-1102164 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 17:20:55 +0000 Mo 1102164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ooh, good to hear about the DL 1961. &nbsp;I have spied some in my white jean hunt. &nbsp;Cute to wear the dress to watch Mad Men at home! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-repeat-november-final-week-plus#post-1102160 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 17:14:37 +0000 Sveta 1102160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your grey boots came! Yay! They are really gorgeous. I love all your outfits with a special note for # 3 - polka dots and white jeans just have my heart!<br />I am always wowed by your work from home style: it is so easy for me to get sloppy looking when I don't go anywhere, you are my hero and role model! Do you also wear boots indoors at home?<br />Your snow came on Tuesday? You had it easier that us here: ours came last Saturday with vengeance: major snow storm in November! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-repeat-november-final-week-plus#post-1102152 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 17:06:10 +0000 Angie 1102152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the way you watch Mad Men with Mr. Suz. You win Best Dressed TV Watching Award of the Century.&nbsp;</p> <p>And of course, you have an incredible sense of style. I have so enjoyed watching you evolve, analyze, and get on with it, Suz. You are fab both inside and out. A true style champion who glows from within.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-repeat-november-final-week-plus#post-1102151 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 17:05:47 +0000 Susie 1102151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a great knack for putting together outfits with such flair. Well done; you look fab! </p> <p>I'm glad that the new boots are working well for you. I bet it feels good to have finally found your perfect boots. Beautiful AND practical is a rare but wonderful find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-repeat-november-final-week-plus#post-1102143 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 16:54:22 +0000 deb 1102143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks , Suz. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-repeat-november-final-week-plus#post-1102140 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 16:53:26 +0000 MuseumGal 1102140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My goodness, your stay at home wear is more polished than my out and about wear!&nbsp; You look fabulous in all of these.&nbsp; The dress in #2 is stunning; I hope husband appreciated it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-repeat-november-final-week-plus#post-1102131 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 16:45:33 +0000 Suz 1102131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are the outfits I wore in the last week plus of our challenge. I apologize for the photography in some of these. I had to do a quick re-enactment of a few because I hadn't had the SIM card in the camera a couple of days. GAH.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pic 1: Friday (you've seen this in another thread).&nbsp;</p> <p>Pic 2: Saturday. This Kamalikulture dress isn't really in regular rotation right now because it feels too body con with tights and isn't really warm enough. But for an indoor evening with Mr. Suz watching MadMen, it was just fine.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pic 3: Sunday. One of the last outings of the white jeans for a while (given current weather conditions here).&nbsp;</p> <p>Pic 4: Monday.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pics 5-6: Tuesday - the day the snow arrived. Hair appointment and the first outing of my charcoal knee high boots. LOVE them. Comfortable, stable, and work with a skirt. I look very wide in this photo in the middle -- that is due to camera angle.&nbsp;</p> <p>PIc. 7: Wednesday. I was indoors the entire day (snow day).&nbsp;</p> <p>Pic. 8: Thursday. Layering a sweater over a button up silk shirt. This shirt is too strong in pattern for me on its own -- these are all "my" neutrals but read as too intense in a large block. But I like it for a glimpse under a sweater or jacket.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pic 9: Friday. Trip to the dentist. Wearing my other new winter boots and my DL 1961 legging jeans. I'm generally "off"&nbsp;legging jeans, but they are so useful for snowy days, tucking into boots, and&nbsp;wow, these ones are <b>fantastic</b>. They are thick, substantial, with 4 way stretch. They&nbsp;do not bag out. I get compliments on them every time I wear them.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pic. 10: Casual supper at a friend's house.&nbsp;</p> <p>This was an interesting experiment. I learned a lot! Thank you, Mo, for initiating it. More reflections to follow!&nbsp; </p>
