I will wear those any time of the year but they're extra nice right now.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks, slim cat &amp; cardiff girl! It's been hard to find red that doesn't skew orange but I think I have a nice variety of items now. I do love red.</div><div><br /></div><div>Jenni - the boots and the plaid jacket are a really good match. The red compliments the jacket but it not so bright that it competes for attention.</div><div><br /></div><div>suntiger - I have tried to wear the plaid jacket with the plaid boots, but it was too cold for that jacket to be my only topper that day, and too warm to layer over it. That's the one problem with the jacket...</div><div><br /></div><div>kellygirl - those Converse shoes are the best. So cute and comfy, and so practical. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Joy &amp; Sarah- I am about to do the outfit lab post! I think I have convinced myself that separates are the way to go for the holidays because most of the pieces can be used at other times....<br /></div><div><br />Sarah - that outfit wasn't so bad. I think that picture of it didn't do it justice... and also that I wanted to be a touch dressier that day than I thought I did. Not a failure by any means though!<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-what-i-might-wear--feeling-festive-kind-of-long#post-2084997 Sun, 15 Dec 2019 05:03:38 +0000 Anonymous 2084997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christina, I love your separates that can be worn for holiday outfits and beyond.. I agree that comfortable shoes for the museum are a must. My favorite is the plaid jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-what-i-might-wear--feeling-festive-kind-of-long#post-2084984 Sun, 15 Dec 2019 03:02:13 +0000 Jaime 2084984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Every outfit here is a winner!

My faves are the tartan blazer and the tartan top outfits. So festive and fun. You and Suz are making it hard for me to resist those Cons. SO fun and fab.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-what-i-might-wear--feeling-festive-kind-of-long#post-2084813 Sat, 14 Dec 2019 02:59:55 +0000 SarahD8 2084813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #8 is my favorite actually! All are good but that one pleases my eye as really unique &amp; original.</p> <p>Your plan for event outfits sounds excellent. One of the things I'm hoping to do for next year (or the year after, depending) is figure out a dressy capsule of festive things that can be remixed with casual items. You are showing the way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-what-i-might-wear--feeling-festive-kind-of-long#post-2084782 Fri, 13 Dec 2019 23:31:40 +0000 Anonymous 2084782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The plaid blazer is my favorite too!

I really love that blazer on you. Can't wait for the outfit lab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-what-i-might-wear--feeling-festive-kind-of-long#post-2084653 Fri, 13 Dec 2019 17:10:33 +0000 Christina F. 2084653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a certified holiday/festive clothing but, but this is a short holiday season and I actually have few events to attend beyond a couple next week. I am trying to incorporate my festive pieces (not too dressy) into my work wardrobe.</p> <div>I do have some skirt/dress options that I am not feeling this year because I am not feeling skirts and dresses so much right now. Those are useful pieces in my dressier capsule that I will hold on to, but I need to do some outfit creation around pants &amp; jeans outfits.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>First up, here are my WIW's since I returned to work, which integrate some seasonal vibes:</div><div><br /> </div><div>1. Boden stripe top, Kut corduroys and the Gore-tex Chucks</div><div>2-3. Halogen jacket, J Crew tee, Wit &amp; Wisdom bootcut jeans, and Pikolinos booties (plus Kate Spade bag)</div><div>4-5. J Crew shirt, Madewell demi-bootcuts (new and I decided not to hem them to true cropped length because they new full length on me, which is nice for winter), Gore-Tex Chucks</div><div>6-7. AT sweater and jeans, Born booties. It actually felt weird to wear true skinnies again. These jeans are new and I won't get rid of them, but the rise is not super high and so I decided not to semi-tuck the sweater.</div><div>8. I was going for a festive meets grunge look here but I think I missed the mark. I'd switch out the jeans for darker ones if I were doing it over; or maybe a shorter topper. Old LOFT top, BR cardi, J Crew jeans, and tartan Doc Martens.</div><div><br /> </div><div> In the finds below are some festive items I am considering for events next week. My thoughts:<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>-For my office Christmas party, the tartan shirt with black jeans and maybe the Chucks (haven't arrived and been assessed yet).<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>-For a Christmas concert at a museum, the velvet pants and matching top as a sort of jumpsuit, with either this rose gold &amp; navy topper or a red topper. However, I also got these loafers, which are pewter. I wanted to wear them to the museum since I need COMFY festive shoes right now.&nbsp; (I am not sure if the metals will clash, or if I care if the metals will clash - that is only something I've thought about since coming to YLF. Anyway, I have gold sneakers and gold loafers I could wear instead.)<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>-I was also thinking of basically switching top halves of these outfits between the two events (velvet cami &amp; sparkly cardi&nbsp; with jeans, tartan top with black velvet pants). I also have tartan pants to throw into the mix somewhere, though I don't think I'd opt for a full tartan outfit even though I am clearly a lunatic about that pattern; I may wear those with another outfit entirely, just to work.</div><div><br /> </div><div>-I feel like color-wise, the sparkly cardi is a real wildcard with my other festive items, but it's so pretty and I want to keep it. </p> <p> </div><div>Lots of mix and match potential here. You can probably expect an outfit lab this weekend.</div><div><br /> </div></p>
