E, the alpaca dress is indeed so cozy. I got it from the Style Exchange on this site from member Nancylee along with a taupe one. I thought they might be too short for me be hope that they look ok with tights and boots. The brand is Peruvian Connection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-staying-warm-in-a-frock#post-1409531 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 22:48:28 +0000 E 1409531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! You look stunning in all of these &amp; I find all of the silhouettes very flattering on you (aka you don't look fat). :)</p> <p>I bet that alpaca dress is impossibly cosy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-staying-warm-in-a-frock#post-1409189 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 04:42:43 +0000 Deborah 1409189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, all of these look very good. &nbsp;You are indeed the coolest Grandma I know:) &nbsp;I was going to nominate a number of these as standout but really I can't pick faves here. &nbsp;They all work and look fabulous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-staying-warm-in-a-frock#post-1409177 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 03:34:38 +0000 Anonymous 1409177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I managed to stay mostly warm in #2 because of thermal under layers but the bare legs were a mistake. If the shoes had not been peep toes ,I would have worn sheer stockings as I am in the third photo. A wardrobe hole is closed toe footwear with a similar look to this peep toe pair.<br /> Thank you for your kind words. I didn't think these outfits were anything special. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-staying-warm-in-a-frock#post-1409167 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 03:10:58 +0000 Jaime 1409167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #2 looks great but have the same question as Angie about your legs being cold. Both dress outfits look fantastic too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-staying-warm-in-a-frock#post-1409138 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 02:11:51 +0000 Debora 1409138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All great looks, Joy! You have inspired me to wear more dresses and skirts this winter. Thanks for illustrating how you put Angie's tips into action. One stylish grandmother, for sure. Congratulations on your new grandchild! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-staying-warm-in-a-frock#post-1409105 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 01:09:08 +0000 Joyce B 1409105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-staying-warm-in-a-frock#post-1409013 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 21:47:50 +0000 rachylou 1409013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol.

But my favourite has to be 3. The patterned skirt with pleating looks just beautiful with your red jumper and white jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-staying-warm-in-a-frock#post-1408916 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 17:27:13 +0000 Anonymous 1408916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou, don't wear peep toes with bare legs. I should not have included that outfit :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-staying-warm-in-a-frock#post-1408914 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 17:05:45 +0000 rachylou 1408914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great.

Except for the chilly tootsies. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-staying-warm-in-a-frock#post-1408892 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 16:00:30 +0000 Angie 1408892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good show. I have to know you are warm enough. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-staying-warm-in-a-frock#post-1408890 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 15:58:00 +0000 Anonymous 1408890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Crutcher and Angie, thank you for the Granny comments. I am searching my closet for soft warm but washable garments for our Christmas week visit.<br /> Angie, I am wearing nude stockings except in #2 with the peep toes. It was a warmer day but my feet did get cold. I only wore the outfit for church, so just a couple of hours. No bare legs since </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-staying-warm-in-a-frock#post-1408881 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 15:42:53 +0000 Angie 1408881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You<b> ARE</b> Cool Grandma.&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't think #2 is too high contrast at all. Great outfit. I have to ask though - how are your keeping your legs and feet warm with bare legs and peep-toe shoes?&nbsp;</p> <p>#1, #2&nbsp;and #4 are my faves -&nbsp;and an 11 out of 10. Nicely done, and rock on. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-staying-warm-in-a-frock#post-1408875 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 15:31:42 +0000 crutcher 1408875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nominated for cool grandmom of the year...I love each outfit and they absolutely add to your fab persona...See you first, see the clothes next...<br />Keep working these looks and your nomination will be a shoe-in... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-staying-warm-in-a-frock#post-1408874 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 15:27:43 +0000 Anonymous 1408874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are a few recent skirt and dress outfits. I am using some of Angie's suggestions to stay warm enough. I also tried to vary my silhouettes, but I have few warm pieces so it is harder to get variety.<br /> 1: Warm knit/Winter Fabrications/ Knee high boots: Alpaca sweater dress with knee high boots. Fluid silhouette.<br /> 2: With Thermal undergarments. Fitted over fitted silhouette. I have a silk long sleeved tee under the shirt and bike shorts length layer and slip under the skirt. Do you think the top and bottom are too high contrast here for my height?<br /> 3: Jacket under a coat. Fitted over volume silhouette.<br /> 4/5: Jacket under a coat/Warm knitwear. The last photo is of the wool tee layered under the jacket. The skirt is a pleated knit wool blend. Volume over volume silhouette. Too much volume on me? I look at the photo and feel fat.<br /> I welcome your comments and suggestions for improvement and other styling ideas. </p>
