They are bulkier than I prefer, as are these mega sparkly ones that I am wearing today. I also added the Miz Mooz boots which I also believe come in navy and are less bulky but a bit squat. </p> <p>I am slowly learning that boots are the way I need to go when the temperatures are below 60, but that I can wear my normal socks and shoes above 60. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turtlesmockscowls-skirtsdresses#post-2296652 Fri, 16 Dec 2022 14:02:41 +0000 Indigoprint 2296652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this. You really have your style well sorted. I have a cold neck as well and have learned the hard way I cannot wear a V-neck once the temperature drops below 60.&nbsp; I love your variety and use of layering. Are the lace up bootees in #7,8,28 and 29 the same pair? and they are blue? I like how they play well with your black and denim.<br />So fun to see thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turtlesmockscowls-skirtsdresses#post-2296595 Thu, 15 Dec 2022 23:10:35 +0000 Sally 2296595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow you have such a wide range of outfits but a definite style.&nbsp; I love them all especially the fancy tights and tough boot looks.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turtlesmockscowls-skirtsdresses#post-2296592 Thu, 15 Dec 2022 22:57:47 +0000 Murph11 2296592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so cool!

I picture you as the star of one of the 2010s-era streetstyle blogs. I can't pick a favorite but 17/18 is inspiring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turtlesmockscowls-skirtsdresses#post-2296196 Tue, 13 Dec 2022 20:38:23 +0000 rachylou 2296196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Naw, you never miss a beat, Donna! The double stockings is one of the most important things I’ve learned on YLF - key to survival (!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turtlesmockscowls-skirtsdresses#post-2296077 Mon, 12 Dec 2022 19:38:56 +0000 DonnaF 2296077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@CarolS and @Catherine: I know that coral is one of my best colors and have a hard time turning it down. And that yellow sweater? It was made on a knitting machine by one of my late aunts probably decades ago. It's a bit scratchy and very warm but I really like the color. Nonetheless, I find wearing a lot of color a lot of the time very difficult and depleting although less depleting than very warm earth colors.</p> <p>@kkards and @suntiger: Who knew that having short stocky legs could be such an advantage when it comes to tights/stockings? They don't have to stretch up on me so don't get thin enough to pose a poke through hazard and are never in danger of crawling down.</p> <p>@joy: I finally have black fleece tights in addition to my gray fleece tights. But yes, although very warm they are too clunky looking to wear with many outfits if they are going to show at all. l got mine at Nordstrom ($10?) so I don't know if more expensive versions look less clunky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turtlesmockscowls-skirtsdresses#post-2296048 Mon, 12 Dec 2022 16:30:52 +0000 Suz 2296048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, back to say more -- 1, 7/8, 15/16 (and basically anything with that vest!!) are amazing! 36 and 41 are also super-fab.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turtlesmockscowls-skirtsdresses#post-2296035 Mon, 12 Dec 2022 15:31:10 +0000 Anonymous 2296035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I identify with your cold neck. My hair is COVID long and I wear it up. This leaves the neck exposed. I find myself wearing scarves a lot for warmth this winter to cover the neck. At night I wear it down and feel so much warmer.<br /> My sister sent me fleece lined tights. I highly recommend them for warmth but they are opaque, which I don’t usually wear. So far this winter I have worn Smart Wool socks for warmth. Your outfits look fab, warm and cozy.<br /> I want to steal that coral sweater. You look wonderful in black and white too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turtlesmockscowls-skirtsdresses#post-2296033 Mon, 12 Dec 2022 15:25:57 +0000 catherine 2296033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for putting on this style clinic! While I really like each and every one of these, you look absolutely extra beautiful in the coral and yellow sweaters (#30 and #46).<br /> Many thanks for posting these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turtlesmockscowls-skirtsdresses#post-2296029 Mon, 12 Dec 2022 15:15:30 +0000 Synne 2296029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have the best Style! These are all great. Love the pop of neon, the interesting prints, the rock chic, everything!

I have a hard time finding ones that are long enough in the leg without being too loose in the waist :/ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turtlesmockscowls-skirtsdresses#post-2295991 Mon, 12 Dec 2022 12:15:14 +0000 kkards 2295991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I can’t even wear 1 pair of tights without putting my finger thru them or getting a run, so kudus to you for wearing 2!<br />my favorites are any outfit with the floral combat boots or the polka white/grey oxfords, just because both pairs of shoes make me smile and are just generally awesome.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turtlesmockscowls-skirtsdresses#post-2295980 Mon, 12 Dec 2022 09:40:23 +0000 Sisi 2295980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The usual gallery of fabulous outfits!

Each look is my favourite -- until I move on to the next. It's fun seeing you add colour, too! You wear it well.

I had to take two tours through all of these--thanks so much for posting! I love seeing your style--you wear different silhouettes so beautifully. My faves are 5, 8, 34, and 41. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turtlesmockscowls-skirtsdresses#post-2295942 Mon, 12 Dec 2022 02:37:34 +0000 Jaime 2295942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Donna I love how unpredictable your outfits are - covering so many colors, neutrals and styles - yet all very you. I am not awake enough to remember favorites, but enjoyed and admired these very much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turtlesmockscowls-skirtsdresses#post-2295937 Mon, 12 Dec 2022 01:50:56 +0000 Zaeobi 2295937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can sympathise with having to size up on cusp tights, even with my petite height - though my problem areas are also my thunder thighs &amp; wider hips, lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turtlesmockscowls-skirtsdresses#post-2295930 Mon, 12 Dec 2022 00:29:03 +0000 DonnaF 2295930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I must say, what fortitude in clicking through all my photos! I don't think I would have the patience, especially since I know the quality is not all that great. Believe it or not, these were pretty much all different tops even if they look the same in my (bad) photos. The exception was #30/31 which I wore on Thanksgiving. I wore the sweater in 1/2 and the skirt later in the month.</p> <p>@Zaeobi and @Jussie: The pale gray tights with the white jeans skirt (#17/18) are two layers of basically the same color. All hosiery is my regular size; if I am on the borderline between two sizes I always size up because I have chunky (sturdy? sumo?) legs. I avoid control tops. Yuck!</p> <p>@Suz and @Bonnie: Give me the numbers and I will track down the Finds if I have them. If not, I can at least provide the brand and store. Some photos may be a bit misleading, like #7 is a NAS sweater vest over a dress.</p> <p>@Nikki: Having lost a few pounds over the pandemic enabled me to tuck that coral sweater (and Heattech underlayer, slip shorts, and two layers of stockings) under that slightly stretchy pencil skirt and elastic waist pleated skirt. The apple green turtleneck in #20/21 is from Lands End -- probably 30 or 40 years ago. I love the color but not how it's cut so I rarely wear it but haven't gotten rid of it. Somehow, I find that Lands End cuts make me look frumpy. I decided the sweater dress layered over a turtleneck in #47 is a FAIL; looks much worse IRL. Maybe running the dress through the wash would shrink it a tiny bit and give it more structure and look better.</p> <p>@Angie: The beluga green pleather skirt in #36 was probably the first thing I posted on YLF ten years ago -- as a K/R. I have since learned that it needs to be ironed between wears (washing or a spin through the dryer does nothing) so it really dissuades me from wearing it. Lesson learned. I thought of you with the colors in #13, but that darn cotton sweater seems to get really stretched out.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turtlesmockscowls-skirtsdresses#post-2295912 Sun, 11 Dec 2022 21:49:29 +0000 Angie 2295912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A FEAST for the eyes, and you ROCK IT ALL, <b>DonnaF!</b></p> <p>#13 and 18 put a big smile on my face :)</p> <p>#41 is ready for NYFW.&nbsp;<div><br />#36 is Practical Euro Chic.

What amazing outfits, <b>Donna. </b>I will come back later to comment in greater detail but I am just WOWed and want you to add a few Finds in the (probably vain) hope that I can copycat you on some outfits/ items.&nbsp;</p> <p>WOW, you have amazing styel.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turtlesmockscowls-skirtsdresses#post-2295793 Sun, 11 Dec 2022 04:28:05 +0000 jussie 2295793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh some fantastic outfits here. You seem to have created a “signature look”! Woohoo! I never ever would have thought of layering two pairs of tights, but I can see it’s quite effective. Are all the tights the same size or do you size up for the outer layer tights? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-turtlesmockscowls-skirtsdresses#post-2295791 Sun, 11 Dec 2022 04:20:56 +0000 Zaeobi 2295791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great variety of necklines! I particularly like the first one (the bigger turtleneck layered over another) &amp; the slightly slouchier fit of your tight turtlenecks - especially with another layer in #31. </p> <p>Your layered tights approach is great for a milder climate - I don't like drawing attention to my legs, so maybe layering 2 solid pairs of tights would work instead? </p>
