Fighter suit - YouLookFab Forum

Today is a day when style and dressing came to the rescue and saved the day.
It's January 21 and my dashboard shows -21 as the motor coughs laboriously, and with the wind and all it's probably -2000. You set foot outside and it's immediately quick-frozen no questions asked, no matter how many layers and how performant the boots. I was late, I woke up ultra early to finish up some work and wasn't even successful in doing so, the man I love told me over the weekend that he's going to move 5 hours away, school is starting again and my schedule is a bit shitty, outside is literally the dark side of the Moon... yet, I feel completely fab thanks to styling and this outfit I came up with, which reflects what I identify with inside: I'm a fighter. And somehow, to me, a fighter looks like a rocker-chic woman from the 80's (don't ask).
(And also it seems that when I need courage, I run for my jewelry. I don't know why, piling it up gives me audacity. You can't tell from those pics, but there are five rings on my two hands, dangling earrings and a necklace added after I realized how cold it was going to be).
(And also, no this is not the outdoor footwear at this time of the year. Indoor strictly).
What is YOUR fighter suit?

I m glad that you are managing to meet adversity with a stylish smile Krish,good for you.You do eighties Rock chick woman very well!Notsure that I have a fighting suit,when I feel vulnerable it’s usually all about comfort but for confidence ,heels tend to do it for me as they bring me near to six foot then I can look down on everybody and that always makes me feel better!

krishnidoux

Cardiff girl that's great! Comfort certainly brings on confidence, but so do heels! I agree! What are your most comfortable heels?

I love your positive attitude and you look adorable in your "fighter suit". Being a retiree from teaching, my fighting days are over.

What a GREAT post. You look absolutely fabulous in number 4. Full-on FIGHTER.

Do I have a fighter suit? I need to think about it!!

Best wishes.

Krish, I’m sorry it had been rough. You are fierce! Love your fighter outfit and jewelry.
I am not sure if I have a fighter suit. I need to give that some thought. I do have a fighting spirit thought and when life dishes it out, I don’t shrink. I shine a light on my positives and dwell in possibilitiy. You rock it!

I am going to put together a Fighter Suit for 2019.

I have my Fighter boots. I sometimes wear them for expected difficult meetings with health bureaucrats who waste $$ the whole time but won't give enough funding to preventative initiatives. And I feel kick-a$$ sometimes then. Not always.

Not sure I have or need a Fighter suit, but yours is awesome. I love your attitude. If I had a fighter suit, I would want white like yours...so powerful in conquering the darkness. Like Sterling , maybe for 2019 I need to create a power suit. I suspect mine would be much like JAileen's birding outfit stompy serious boots. And binoculars would be part of it.. In these distressing times I need to see hope in the future and in nature.

Love it! I’m amazed by your positive energy even in the cold and dark!

This is what barbarella would wear in winter!

Badass. You look terrific and ready to take on anything in your path. I don't have a fighter suit but like Jenni, I have fighter boots that I use to clear my path!

Krish, your post reminded me of the song "Love is a Battlefield" by Pat Benatar, such a classic early 80's song. Dressing strong also helps me to feel strong and in control. You look gorgeous. Sometimes I will dress in a more hard edge style to feel strong, but on other occasions, I wear a beautiful suit as my armour.

Jenny: and you look kick ass too! Wow, those are some AWESOME fighter boots.

Joy, and when you do, please make sure to post. I would be so curious to see what it turns out to be. Thanks for sharing!

Bj: Barbarella LOL! Yes, and the man I love who's going away soon told me "You look like Jane Fonda with this one!", he meant it as a compliment. I take it as such! (And you know what, maube you have pinpointed exactly where in my subconscious the 1980's chic warrior comes from lol)

Bijou, just watch the song'S video in question, I love it! I remember seeing it a long time ago. Yes, this is also my inspiration for the 1980's rocker-chic fighter. Thank you for bringing this to my attention!

It's so fun to read about your own strategies. Thank you for sharing them!

Rrrrawrrrrrr! You look strong, And stylish. And beautiful. I may need to find my own version. Sending warm thoughts (and hopes for weather).

Block heels these days Krish,I m too wobbly for high stilettos!

I love your fighter suit. The cream layers and sleek pants are beautiful on you, and they look warm, too. The necklace is a fantastic addition. I like the idea of a fighter outfit and will have to think about one!

Helena

Fantastic; fight on! The winter white is lovely on you.

My fighter suit is black; this is all I know. I imagine something like Angelina's look below - it says, I have neither the time nor the inclination to deal with your nonsense!

I'll have to think about(but mine would be certainly a darker one-say black from head to toe!:-) but You look totally fab in your fighter look (or like a rocker-chic woman from the 80's!:-)). OMG, cream is fab on you! Sorry for the cold, the darkness and the bed news:-(...Hope you'll get them sorted all asap! Happy fighting-we all do that each day!

Lyn, so true, we all fight, we're all fighters.

Sara L.

Great outfit! I like the hair too. The white sweater and vest remind me of Princess Leia on Hoth, and she's always a badass.

I would probably wear black but I don't know exactly what pieces.

LOL Sara! What a find, that pic. I had no idea that was what I was emulating!

LaPed

Badass in white! I love it. And you can camouflage yourself in all the snow.

I don't know that I have a go-to fighter suit. It probably involves a black tank-top and jeans, or maybe sturdy canvas pants. And definitely some shoes that make me feel nimble.

The weather here is miserable too. We've gone from 2 feet of snow and a deep freeze to sleet and rain so now everything will turn into a thick sheet of ice!

You look great-despite the tough week! Fight on
@JenniNZ love those blue boots!
I guess mine is lbd + heels, which is my go to for formal workwear. Unfortunately I don't have a winter equivalent as my long sleeve lbd is thin fabric and only good for mild days.

So fun to read what your figther suits are! It seems black is popular
