Actually all your coats look great and I find it curious that the camel and burgundy combo would make you feel depressed, hmmmm? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-on-a-funk-showing-my-winter-coats#post-773396 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 15:47:43 +0000 Lisa 773396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think we all get into a funk from time to time. You have some great colors in your closet. And the booties in #1 match the coat nicely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-on-a-funk-showing-my-winter-coats#post-773057 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 00:52:19 +0000 moira 773057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those bright, strong colors, the teal and pink look fantastic with your coloring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-on-a-funk-showing-my-winter-coats#post-773053 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 00:47:33 +0000 JR 773053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a lovely set of coats, really. The pink and the teal are so much fun. Someday, when I grow up, I would like to have a brightly coloured coat. Oh wait... I have a green one. LOL! Well, another one.</p> <p>Lots of people are in a funk nowadays. I really noticed it on another forum I participate in. But you know, that's pretty normal in November. And the time change really doesn't help, shortening our evenings like that, although I do appreciate the extra hour of sleep. But it will all pass, you know. November and February I find to be the most "down" months, so I make it a rule not to make negative decisions at this time of year. Too easy to quit things, just because I'm light-deprived. Better to go for a walk. Even if it's grey and dreary, it's still more light than you get inside, and it can lift your mood. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-on-a-funk-showing-my-winter-coats#post-772611 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 19:07:50 +0000 celia 772611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Girl X- Actually I used to wear camel and brown all the time but now I find it too earthy for me.I might try it with my red pants in the spring , though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-on-a-funk-showing-my-winter-coats#post-772589 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 18:48:39 +0000 Girl X 772589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That camel coat is beautiful on you - have you tried it with reds or browns instead of burgundy? You might get some of the colour combo you want without the sad feelings that come with burgundy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-on-a-funk-showing-my-winter-coats#post-772588 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 18:48:32 +0000 Kristin SF 772588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is the teal but I also love the pink on you!</p> <p>The funk might be weather-related and time change-related. Both my husband and I have been suffering from the same thing. It helps to recognize it and try to work through it together. And try to enjoy the cold and early darkness (blech) - like Saturday night was movie and popcorn night with the kids. That definitely made us happier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-on-a-funk-showing-my-winter-coats#post-772582 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 18:38:06 +0000 celia 772582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies. I appreciate your words.And I am very glad my oldie peacoat can still have a place in my life.</p> <p>bj1111- That is exactly what I do but it also means that I vanished from circulation, well, I guess sometimes we have to , it keeps the mystery alive.</p> <p>rachylou- yep, greyish green and blue also do it for me.But I don't even go into it because the color combination doesn't appeal to me, burgundy and camel do, unless I am wearing them that is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-on-a-funk-showing-my-winter-coats#post-772581 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 18:37:29 +0000 rachylou 772581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The coats are all fantastic. The teal just a real picker-upper.</p> <p>There are definitely colours that make me feel ick and... camel is one of them. Khaki is another. Greyish green yet another. Getting into combos... greyish green and navy is particularly depressing for me. I could see how camel and burgundy ick you out a bit. It's a combo favored by "contemporary" style - the one that isn't contemporary at all.</p> <p>Does look good together tho. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-on-a-funk-showing-my-winter-coats#post-772541 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 18:01:42 +0000 Anonymous 772541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Teal coat is my favourite. I also think your denim and lace look has a lot of potential, even if you didn't feel amazing in it. I think a darker denim shirt would tie it all together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-on-a-funk-showing-my-winter-coats#post-772539 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 18:00:13 +0000 Suz 772539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Celia, first of all, you are so adorable in your specs! And secondly, I am sorry you have been feeling low and distracted. Too many trips to Winners can really mess with a woman's head. But I confess to indulging in the same pastime when I have pending projects that worry me! </p> <p>As to your coats, I absolutely love these, one and all! I am sorry the camel and burgundy makes you feel sad, but as far as looks go, it is smashing! I wish I could wear camel as well. It would also look great with black or navy or even bright blue (like cobalt). </p> <p>I adore your pink pea coat and the subtle pattern mix. That is a colour combo dear to my hear. </p> <p>The teal coat looks spectacular on you. I love how it emphasizes your waist. I also like it with the brown bag and that scarf that brings lightness to your face. Perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-on-a-funk-showing-my-winter-coats#post-772536 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 17:57:23 +0000 A.Kiernan 772536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The teal coat in #3 is fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-on-a-funk-showing-my-winter-coats#post-772534 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 17:54:48 +0000 bj1111 772534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>well, i can't see the funk. that teal coat is marvy...my fave. </p> <p>how about taking an hour or two for some "you" time, tea, a cake and a novel or magazine or bubble bath? you sound in need of a quick recharge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-on-a-funk-showing-my-winter-coats#post-772532 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 17:54:40 +0000 annagybe 772532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that pink coat on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-on-a-funk-showing-my-winter-coats#post-772524 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 17:50:51 +0000 celia 772524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello YLF, </p> <p>I haven't been around much and although I have been busy with mainly DD activities , the truth is I have been in some kind of a funk mood.Maybe the weather, higher expectations from people around me, frustration with myself for having pending projects and getting too much distracted with trips to winners, all of it makes me take a step back from the world sometimes.<br /> I am just mentioning this because I want to be honest with you but i wonder if I am the only person that does this.<br /> (good thing I like cheese because it goes well with all this whine )</p> <p>Returning to fashion, in this batch I though I present you my 3 winter coats:</p> <p>1- camel coat: burgundy and camel(cream) is a color combination that I really love but it depresses me a little when I wear it and I have no idea why.I much prefer black and camel than this mellow combination on me, although I love to see it on others.Do you have color combinations that make you sad?</p> <p>2-hot pink coat: this is an oldie and a bit big jacket that I tailored a bit so I could wear it.I don't know if you can see it but I also did a pattern mix between the t-neck and the shirt underneath. I kind of like it.And, yes, those are my new rain boots. It was a question of necessity because , as I said, I have to follow a very adventurous DD that has ran boots and intends to use them to the max of their capacities.All in all, they are not the worst of them, what do you think?</p> <p>3- teal coat: my happy coat, it always lifts my mood. The photos are not very good but I am wearing a navy sweater and black pants. This is a new sweater silhouette for me and although it has a higher hem that I am used to if feels more relaxed.</p> <p>4- no coat: attempt to mix denim and lace.Not my favorite.</p> <p>5- Chunky knit- This is a new one , funny thing is that it had been so long since I wore chunkier knits I forgot that they are, well, chunky.When I dressed the jacket on top of it I felt very, lets say, cozy.For once I had a photographer but he decided to cut my feet from the photo.</p> <p>And these were my last documented outfits.Suggestions and comments are welcome.</p> <p>Hope you have a wonderful week and I am sorry again if I am not around that much. </p>
