I love the tailored looks, and you wear a skirt so well. <br />I was looking back at previous posts to see if I could find some of your summer work outfits, and the few I clicked on, the photos are no longer available. But I recall your style as being feminine, classic, tailored, and perhaps a little more colorful in warmer weather. You wear ballet flats in summer, right? So I think you are onto something that the heaviness of winter clothing works against you, if you love the lighter, feminine feel of your summer wardrobe. <br />Boots are a necessity in winter, and as you say, they are a big investment. So you may not want to get them yet (or on the other hand, maybe you could find some on sale pretty soon!), but I think a more close-fitting, refined boot would introduce some sleek feminine feel into your winter style. Meanwhile, a more immediate or easier idea would be to try a scarf sometimes instead of a turtleneck for keeping the neck warm. It's a lighter, more feminine look and a way to introduce some accent colors or prints. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-past-days#post-1440127 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 03:15:55 +0000 Jaime 1440127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I especially like #2 also, but think the angle of the photo is not doing your outfits justice. The blue jacket is terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-past-days#post-1439838 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 19:04:00 +0000 celia 1439838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such great points. Probably I should have asked in the beginning of the season....<br />I have noticed that whenever an outfit is too masculine I do not feel happy in it. And in winter I hit the jackpot of masculine: <ul> <li>heavy fabrics like wool, tweed</li> <li>colors like black, burgundy, grey,&nbsp;</li> <li>blazers and pants without much of feminine details</li> <li>rarely any prints</li> </ul> Adding to this the several shades of grey my face turns in winter and I can see how the result isn't very me, or at least happy me.<br />I have to say that I keep a set of lighter color( but same weight ) sweaters for this time of the year, Angie suggested it once and I feel that it makes enormous sense.<br />I will try to take a pic of my outfit today because, althought the outfit is very close to the #1 the slight detail on the shoulder of the jacket is making me happy.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-past-days#post-1439805 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 17:55:06 +0000 Helena 1439805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Celia, glad you bumped this! I also like especially outfit #2. Haven't seen your other outfits yet, but wondering if some color might perk you up? I'm not much of a color person myself, but I always keep something bright pink in my closet, which I pull out when I am feeling the winter blahs. A more typically feminine color might also help with that piece. Good luck! Hang in there, spring is coming, even though it doesn't feel that way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-past-days#post-1439801 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 17:38:31 +0000 Suz 1439801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like #2, especially, Celia.&nbsp;</p> <p>The main difference I notice right away from the summer pics is the absence of patterns here. I am wondering if bringing some pattern to the winter looks would help you feel more fab?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-past-days#post-1439796 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 17:26:33 +0000 lyn67 1439796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah Celia-it's just the frightening cold out there!:-(sorry for feeling that way about your winter wardrobe-I do feel the same time&nbsp;at&nbsp;some moments each end of winter.&nbsp;I went back to see your thread from last week, with some of&nbsp;your spring/summer looks, and it struck me, that it has more and sharper contrast in regarding the colors+ some great prints. So, not all dark, and pattern-less-you just have to look around.&nbsp;When feeling bored&nbsp;like that, I&nbsp;started introducing a bit of white-but not as a single piece like a plain white&nbsp;button down(which no matter how hard will try&nbsp;my body and soul wouldn't&nbsp; make working fo me&nbsp;at all:-(). But in some patterns, like a black and white plaid/stripe/bouclé texture. And suddenly all is more convenable to mix with lighter hues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-past-days#post-1439785 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 16:58:18 +0000 Lisa 1439785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I cannot comment on comparing to your summer work wardrobe without a comparison photo. &nbsp;But I like the layering you've done here. &nbsp;Do you layer in the summer as well? &nbsp;If not, then that's the obvious difference for me. &nbsp;I tend to layer year round myself, but I'm on team always cold and often in a/c settings so that works well for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-past-days#post-1439708 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 14:23:21 +0000 celia 1439708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry for bumping my own thread but... did I just leave you without words with my winter outfits ;o) ?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-past-days#post-1437837 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 22:18:02 +0000 celia 1437837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As I was telling on my budget post an outfit for yoga was a necessity( the current options are old sweater pants and tops, not very appropriate ), and this past days I went to winners to look for some.<br /> Ended up buying a top and leggings for $60 which seemed fair enough, but also gave me the opportunity to take pictures of my outfits.<br /> This boots have been worned a thousand million times but I really don't want to spend $200 plus on another pair right now.<br /> I am sorry that the pictures are not very good for judging but I do have a question<br /> Does this have a very different vibe from my summer work wardrobe?<br /> (My office is cold in winter so I have to dress in layers. Sometimes the feel of all the wool weighs me down because I don't feel particularly feminine in it. )</p> <p>Also, if you have any other thoughts or suggestions please go ahead. I don't feel that my winter work wardrobe was a total win.<br /> Thank you for looking. </p>
