I am still going ga ga over the hair. And no wonder you'd want those booties on a desert island. Who wouldn't?</p> <p>But I am sorry you have been feeling down. I certainly understand, coming from where I do. It's hard. I try to get outdoors during daylight hours in winter. I walk in all weathers, even -40 C, even in a blizzard. Obviously, not every day (freezing rain will even keep me inside, bleach!!) but I've found it really helps to make an effort. And there are almost no impossible weathers -- just impractical clothes. The right puffers/ hats/ mitts/ boots will do the trick. But I am not going to lie to you. I can't pretend it is fun, and it is <b>CERTAINLY</b> no fun dressing for it!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I think the darkness and grey skies are why I reach for colour in my wardrobe in winter. It's hard even to do that, because it's not terribly practical (especially light colours). </p> <p>I know black is your personal "happy" hue, so what helps me might make you feel even worse! But I do wonder if adding in a bit of your cobalt and your dark red might be helpful in this really dark days. Also, more of your silver statement jewellery.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-beat-the-winter-blues#post-1512249 Sun, 28 Jun 2015 20:19:38 +0000 Sal 1512249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking great!</p> <p>I do know the feeling of winter blues, for me it is when we have our grey wet days. I like the cold and will exercise in it, but motivation is lower. I love the hope of spring but autumn is usually the best weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-beat-the-winter-blues#post-1512192 Sun, 28 Jun 2015 15:44:21 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1512192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfit! Music helps me with the blues. I even bought a full spectrum light to use every morning and it helps. Hoping you feel better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-beat-the-winter-blues#post-1512188 Sun, 28 Jun 2015 15:27:28 +0000 Anonymous 1512188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Feeling less than great in winter is pretty common in my part of the world. &nbsp;Sunlight and Vitamin D are definitely part of a plan my friends and I here in Canada subscribe to - in fact my Dr recently upped the D recommendation to 2000 mg a day instead of the usual 1000 (that's all year round) . &nbsp;It's a necessity for so much more than just feeling good too . &nbsp;I use a daylight desk lamp in my office , get as much exercise as possible, and watch my alcohol intake.....you know, the usual stuff &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-beat-the-winter-blues#post-1512162 Sun, 28 Jun 2015 13:10:47 +0000 Cococat 1512162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit Deborah. </p> <p>I don't like Winter much, particularly as it gets dark so quickly. Are there any exercise classes that you might like? I just started hula Polynesian dancing classes and its a really fun way to exercise. It's an effort going there after work but I'm always happy I did it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-beat-the-winter-blues#post-1512156 Sun, 28 Jun 2015 12:24:10 +0000 Jaime 1512156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Although our winter is very mild, the lack of sunlight hours still gets me down. And everyone is so sun protected these days that vitamin D deficiency is very common. But you look fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-beat-the-winter-blues#post-1512153 Sun, 28 Jun 2015 12:10:35 +0000 dakotacheryl 1512153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab as always !!</p> <p>Curious as to what temps you're having outside right now...and is this the coldest you'll get to, or are worse temps yet to come?</p> <p>Here is the Black Hills of South Dakota it was 80F yesterday...just gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-beat-the-winter-blues#post-1512147 Sun, 28 Jun 2015 11:58:16 +0000 Maneera 1512147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your outfit! You have such a keen eye for details that come together to make every outfit you wear look like it belongs on a fashion runway. </p> <p>Im sorry to hear you're feeling blue. I find exercising really helps on cold, overcast days. Of course, you'll need extra motivation to make yourself go out in the cold, but believe me when I say that it works like magic. The endorphins released improve your mood and it's a great way to beat Winter Blues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-beat-the-winter-blues#post-1512144 Sun, 28 Jun 2015 11:40:24 +0000 Phoebe 1512144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the boots!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-beat-the-winter-blues#post-1512143 Sun, 28 Jun 2015 11:33:49 +0000 Helen11 1512143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And I forgot to say that you are rocking the black layers, as always. Metallicus should definitely employ you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-beat-the-winter-blues#post-1512141 Sun, 28 Jun 2015 11:25:08 +0000 Deborah 1512141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Helen11, exercise is a great idea. It's just too cold to walk at the moment and I suppose I have been lacking the motivation;). It's probably something I need to get back to....thanks for the nudge:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-beat-the-winter-blues#post-1512139 Sun, 28 Jun 2015 10:50:08 +0000 Helen11 1512139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the cold grey days really can get you down. Sorry to hear you're felling that way. I hope the Vit D works for you. How about exercise or walking? ( suggestion on the basis of not knowing you, and not being any role model for exercise ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-beat-the-winter-blues#post-1512126 Sun, 28 Jun 2015 07:32:22 +0000 Deborah 1512126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ladies,</p> <p>This morning was church followed immediately by a birthday party of lunch at McDonalds and a movie (Inside Out) for one of Master 12's friends. &nbsp;Needed warmth and comfort as I have been out most of the day and had an hour or so to peruse Myer (our version, tho smaller, of Nordtroms??) to see if I could use a gift certificate.</p> <p>No success at Myer but that was ok.</p> <p>Ponte Leggings / Target<br />Cowl Neck Tunic / Rockmans<br />Sia Cropped Waterfall Cardigan / Metalicus<br />Ankle Boots / Hush Puppies (I think if I was ever stuck on a dessert island and only had one pair of boots, I would want it to be these!! &nbsp;- of course I realise boots on an dessert island doesn't really make sense but hey!)</p> <p>Despite Winter being my favourite season, I seem to be experiencing the Winter Blues over the past few weeks:( &nbsp;Started taking Vitamin D tablets, as recommended by my GP, last week and seem to be making some progress. &nbsp;I think the cold, overcast days actually can get a bit much. &nbsp;Anyone else feel his way.</p> <p>xxx Deborah</p> <p> </p>
