I hadn't considered that. It's just so comfy.... The fur vest is Buffalo brand from a couple winters ago. The fur is kind of feathery--I fear it is going to mat down with all of this wear and then I'm going to look like a real buffalo! Oh well. Gotta keep wearing it for the CPW--I'm sure these things aren't going to be in style for ever :)<br /> @Suz: We are going to get you in a furry vest one of these days! You just wait :)<br /> @Una: You make me laugh--suburban mom style translates to Sundance. LOL!</p> <p>ETA: Link for Aida: <a href="http://www.churchmouseyarns.com/products/easy-folded-poncho-pattern#.UQAjvI4vOyM" rel="nofollow">http://www.churchmouseyarns.co.....QAjvI4vOyM</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind/page/2#post-826629 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:34:33 +0000 catgirl 826629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, you would been attacked by paparazzi at Sundance - these are all so cozy celeb on vacation. I am especially in love with the skinny cargo pants look, but all are yummy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind/page/2#post-826224 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 02:44:31 +0000 Suz 826224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your legs are the best, Kelly, and that's why you can look amazing in those red tights. I actually really like the look! I love the dress with the furry vest, too, and that's a surprise because I am not a furry vest fan. But somehow whenever you wear yours (or Shannon wears hers) I forget all about not being a fan and start wishing i had one, too! </p> <p>You look fantastic in your collection of cozy toppers and scarves. Not to mention BOOTS! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind#post-826206 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 02:25:27 +0000 Aida 826206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These all look fab Kelly! The tights in #1 are quite nice, the moody dark shade really works well. Perhaps it is the light color of the topper that is throwing you there? It reads a bit more springy to my eye. #2 is SUPER and I MUST KNOW where from is that amazing poncho!?? All versions of toppers/footwear with the KK look great to my eye, as do the rest of the outfits you've posted! Sweet furry vest, is that the one from Express? I love the feathery look of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind#post-825909 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 20:34:56 +0000 kellygirl 825909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for commenting. I am quite happy that the red tights are getting a thumbs up. I’ve wanted to try the brand for quite awhile--they live up to their reputation of a comfortable waist band!<br /> @Caro: Thank you. I really love this shade of green--I just need to make myself wear it more often.<br /> @Asingh: You made me laugh--I don’t think I’ve ever heard my name and fashionista in the same sentence. It’s a first! Thank you--wait until I tell DD’s! Btw, your outfit posts have inspired me--I want to wear scarves every day.<br /> @Deborah: Thank you! It’s funny but the tartan was my fave and I’m disappointed it didn’t photograph as well as I thought it looked. It does look boxy in the photo--must be my mirror!<br /> @Katiepea: Thank you. I assure you that I’ve seen your legs and they do not look like any kind of stump!<br /> @doulahil: Thank you. I had mixed feelings about the cardi over the dress but it felt the most like me. I will try it with my oxfords--it would give a very boyish vibe. Lol--no heels over here unless they are attached to a boot :)<br /> @rae: Thanks! I thought #2 was very UWP. I was trying to figure out a way to wear the poncho and not freeze. The solution was to layer my drapey cardigan underneath. It’s one of my favorites and super toasty!<br /> @Ornelia: Thank you but you are MY role model when it comes to polish. I am flattered. Glad you like the poncho. I’m in poncho love these days.<br /> @Nieferen, Ceit, Diane G, Rute, Alicat, texstyle, Susie, MaryK: Thank you!<br /> @Claudia: Thanks! The tights were a whopping $5. I couldn’t resist. Perhaps you can find a pair at the Rack :)<br /> @Joy: Thank you! The V-neck is a brilliant idea. I hadn’t thought of that. The cowl neck is kind of problematic for me. I love them on their own but find they don’t play well with others.<br /> @CF: Lol, thanks! I think I was just shocked by the color. I had imagined a more subdued leg :)<br /> @Amy: Thank you. I think you and Deborah may be on to something with the tartan blazer--it could be the length.<br /> @pil: Lol! Thanks, Pil! I fear the red tights may clash with the burgundy in the sweater. I’ll have to try them together. Now that the tights are getting a thumbs up, I’m going to have to figure out some other ways to wear them!<br /> @SaraL: Thanks. I like colored tights too--just more on others. I will definitely try them again now that I’m over the initial shock.<br /> @Angie: Thank you! You are too kind! Thank you for chiming in on the dress toppers. I’ve been struggling with the cowl neck and the overall dress shape which just feels so fitted to me. I think these toppers are a great way to get the dress into rotation.<br /> @RC: Thank you! I’m flattered to be pinned! You weren’t tricked into buying the red tights? Smart chicky! I had sale goggles on for sure. I’m glad they are working out though. I think the KK tunic would be more versatile than the dress--can’t wait to see it in action!<br /> @Tina.b: You and I are both laughing! I couldn’t believe it when I put them on! Thank you!<br /> @cjh: Thanks for the suggestion! I will try it :)<br /> @rachylou: Thank you. You betcha, I am on the roll call! You picked my favorite pairing. I didn’t think it would pass YLF muster though---it is supremely comfy and really feels like me. Your typing problem sounds funny. You fingers have a mind of their own ;)<br /> @Denise: Thank you! I can’t believe I made it onto YOUR board. You are the queen of cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind#post-825820 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 19:02:54 +0000 CocoLion 825820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like looking at how you put together diverse casual looks. #2 is so freaking cool, I had to pin it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind#post-825812 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 18:55:38 +0000 rachylou 825812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a UWP thing going on kellygirl. Are you officially on the roll-call? ;&gt; 'Cuz I love it.</p> <p>I love the way you've styled the dress in the last pic in #6 - grey boots, grey sweater. There's a real unified look going on there.</p> <p>p.s. Totally off topic - I have noticed lately that my fingers have been typing their own messages. I say "look", fingers type "looking". I say "complexion," fingers type "collection." Does anyone else have this problem ever? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind#post-825708 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:39:30 +0000 MsMary 825708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all ridiculously fab, red tights and all! And I could never tire of that fur vest!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind#post-825679 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:17:44 +0000 cjh 825679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't read all the comments, so forgive me if I repeat, but what do you think about wearing the red tights in #1 with the very last striped cardigan? </p> <p>All the outfits look great to me - you have a fun and comfy style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind#post-825666 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:07:48 +0000 Susie 825666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No way is that outfit a disaster! I think the tights look great on you. </p> <p>Outfits 2, 3 and 4 are my favorites. </p> <p>I think all renditions of the dress look good but I particularly like the emerald jacket and the fur vest. \</p> <p>You have such a great style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind#post-825605 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 15:12:22 +0000 Tina.b 825605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laughing about the red tights, but I think they work! You look so great in a dress and just adore it with the emerald green. So many great looks here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind#post-825603 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 15:09:48 +0000 texstyle 825603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like outfit #4 best for overall fit and it's casual chic, effortless look, and then #1 and then #2 and then the emerald jacket....I like them all too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind#post-825583 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 14:57:32 +0000 RunnerChick 825583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulously casual, as always, Kelly! You have been pinned </p> <p>I saw the tights on sale at my Nordtsrom rack, and almost got them. I like how they look on you quite a bit, and might have to go get them now. To my eye, they read almost burgundy. </p> <p>The KK dress is lovely with all the toppers, but the emerald jacket and Oxfords is my fave. I really like that dress a lot! I have the tunic (from Anne) that is it's cousin </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind#post-825581 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 14:55:49 +0000 Angie 825581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You RULE the Kingdom of Neat UWP!! I love looking at your outfits, Kelly :)</p> <p>#1 is not a disaster at all - and I am generally not a fan of bright coloured tights. It works! </p> <p>And the rest of your outfits are pure casual inspiration! </p> <p>As for your last question - love all the renditions. Just. Can't. Pick. A. Fave. </p> <p>You have amazing shapely legs!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind#post-825576 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 14:52:46 +0000 Sara L. 825576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the red tights too. I like colored tights in the winter to bring some fun and color into winter outfits. I really like how you've layered in #2 and 3 and all your scarves look great. I prefer the dress with the fur vest and boots too. The green jacket also looks very good but the bare legs make me feel like you look cold. Maybe some dark tights would help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind#post-825574 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 14:48:18 +0000 Anonymous 825574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your style always makes me smile happily! Love all of these, especially #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind#post-825510 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 14:11:59 +0000 pil 825510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So envious of your boot collection. Your WIWs are terrific as usual and I don't see the red tights as a disaster at all. Would they be too much with the KK dress and red stripe sweater?<br /> My fave topper with the dress is the vest - love it and the green jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind#post-825509 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 14:10:49 +0000 Amy 825509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all, Kelly! The colors in 3 are really beautiful. Love the poncho and the head to toe look in 4. You've styled that dress really nicely. Like others, my favorite is the fur vest. The tartan jacket looks a bit too long to my eye. The green jacket is also nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind#post-825507 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 14:10:00 +0000 rute 825507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>gorgeous! you do boots and dresses so well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind#post-825496 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 13:56:03 +0000 cinnamon fern 825496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I cannot see why the red tights are a disaster! What's wrong with drawing extra attention to your fabulous legs?</p> <p>I'm torn between fur vest and emerald jacket, they're both great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind#post-825479 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 13:33:50 +0000 Anonymous 825479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, these are all fabulous outfits, even #1. My favorite is 2.<br /> About the KK dress outfits, I like the fur vest best. I like the green jacket although it is a little longer than ideal, which is probably why your cropped jean jacket works so well. For another idea can you pop a v-neck sweater over the dress? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind#post-825470 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 13:07:23 +0000 Claudia 825470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those tights in #1 would go great with my new burgundy ankle boots. I also really love #2. And #4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind#post-825451 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:43:09 +0000 Anonymous 825451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 through #5 are all fab to me. For the black dress my favourites are the emerald and fur. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind#post-825445 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 10:46:41 +0000 Anonymous 825445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 2 and 4 -- and I think the red tights are great! Just put a different topper on and voila! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind#post-825442 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 10:32:57 +0000 Niefern 825442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favourites are #4 and #2: great! And you have some fine boots, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind#post-825433 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 09:10:22 +0000 Ornella 825433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Kelly, you are my role model MOTG and you do these looks with so well. I love them all! No.2 is so fab - I adore ponchos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind#post-825432 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 09:06:56 +0000 rae 825432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually really like the red tights, and I looooove #2. I think all your KK outfits work, though my fave is the emerald topper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind#post-825419 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 07:51:18 +0000 Hil 825419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Kelly! I think you look amazing in all your WIW's.</p> <p>As for the dress - I like the first three outfits... not sure about the boots and the striped cardi (4) - I am thinking that maybe that outfit could work with the shoes from (1)? And I would love to see the emerald jacket one with heels...? Patterned tights of course would be fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind#post-825414 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 07:38:52 +0000 Katiepea 825414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely in all your outfits, clever thing! I actually really like your red stockings in the first outfit - I think they are fun. You are lucky that you are slim so your legs do not look like tree stumps in them (ahem). </p> <p>Regarding the last dress and your different looks, I really love the dress with the fur vest and booties I must confess. The emerald jacket is a close second. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-what-i-had-in-mind#post-825400 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 06:31:52 +0000 Deborah 825400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, I love your style! I think each of these is just fab. You have a very well honed style and knows what works for you. Looking a the pics of the dress with the different toppers, the only one that doesn't work so well to my eye is the one with the black watch? tartan. I feel that jacket is just a touch too long for the dress. </p>
