Raise your hand if you feel like you look fab today!

I made myself late for work today dithering about my outfit, but I ended up feeling fab! Put two pieces together that I'd never considered as an outfit and am happy as the proverbial clam! (No time to take photos... stay tuned for the WIW this evening.)

Do you feel fab today? And if not, why not? And what are you gonna do so you can feel fab tomorrow?

Well, not yet- I am still waiting to get in the shower. (One bathroom for four people really sucks!)

I feel fab in an easy, carefree kinda way. I chose looser fitting garments for the [ahem] holiday bulge and I feel so much better than if I were tugging and pulling!

YES! I picked out my outfit last night, and I feel awesome. Who knew paisley looked so good with cougar skulls? O_O

Mo, I also chose a larger size today...

I kinda sorta do. If I could figure out how to tie a #$%$^ scarf I'd be fab today. I'll post later and let you be the judge. I am wearing booties with a dress (not my first time, but the first time I've felt fab in them)

Let's put it this way: I feel "fabber" than yesterday when I felt it was a total disaster after taking a picture in the evening. For today I picked what to wear last night and I think it helped a lot...
As for requiring a larger size: I think you Americans have it pretty tough with Thanksgiving and Christmas less than a month apart. At least here in Canada we can get rid of all Thanksgiving "bulge" in those 2.5 months before Christmas!:-)

LOL, Sveta! And Rae, what a great high five photo!!

Great thread, MaryK!

I'm with Sveta; I'm fabber than yesterday when I wore my workout gear for most of the day. Today at least I'm showered and wearing skinnies, layering T, an olive swing cardi and animal print scarf. When I go out I will be adding the cognac boots.

Pic was taken earlier in the fall; I have since trimmed the fringes from the scarf and trimmed my hair, both sorely needed when this photo was taken!

I don't have a photo, but I DO feel fab today. Wore one of my "uniforms" for winter: black pencil skirt, purple v-neck sweater and pattern scarf with tall boots....and the Oroblu microfishnets you recommended, MK!

Thanks to YLF, I have a lot of fab days now.

Amen, nancylee! Ain't it the truth!!

Don't you love the unexpected fabness, MaryK? Well done!

And to answer your question: as it happens, yes! Barring my epic undereye circles, which I will go cover with makeup shortly, I feel very good today. I'm wearing my favourite casual dress, an olive green jersey hemp crossover style with tiny flies printed all over it. It's feminine and pretty (and makes my waist look small -- bonus) and the print is just weird enough to add that bit of edge.

Oh, and I'm wearing my all-time favourite black boots with the red buttons. I can tell it's going to be a good day!

Yes, yes, yes. I felt fab about the outfit I put together last night. I felt even more fab when my little one looked at me this morning and said 'Mama, you coot" (Mama your are cute!). Then I have had several co-workers compliment my look and how stylish I am dressing these days.

I wasn't so much until I heard from hubby that I looked nice. Now I feel ok. Here's the outfit. I wore it with olive wedges. You decide.

I feel pretty fab. Wearing black/gray/turquoise tiny glen plaid slacks, dark teal blouse with a ruffled tuxedo style front, gray cardigan with white/teal/turquoise and plum argyle pattern. So I'm warm, comfy and dressy for the office.

"Thanks to YLF, I have a lot of fab days now."

Yes! Agreed! I have so many fab options that it's hard to decide what to wear sometimes!

It's a very teal day today. I'm wearing that Anthro Liquid Acres patterned pencil skirt that I wore when we met up in SF, plus a teal cashmere sweater, mustard and teal belt, teal glass bead necklace and nude pumps. And my fave Fossil bag which also has some teal in it. I feel like I'm wearing a very "me" outfit today!

I love how everyone is feeling so fab every day!

Hands up over here

Hands up here! Hopefully I'll get to post a photo, but I'm wearing my new Gap floral tunic top with skinnies tucked into my camel slouch Fryes and with my new Express camel jacket over the top. I think it looks pretty good

First day back at work after the festive holidays, although I looked okay (hooray) I have been grumbly all day....I hate first day blues

Naw, this is not an exciting day for me. But I think the capsule-wardrobe-strategy thingy is helping me. When I put on whatever, I can leave the house without people thinking the building must be on fire.

I'm wearing booties with a skirt and feeling pretty fab today. This is the first time I've worn booties with a dress or skirt and felt more than 'meh' about it. I posted a pic in another thread.

I'm feeling pretty fab. I'm in my usual boot cut jeans, this time my long ones for heels. I'm trying out Angie's idea of a "twin set" of a layering top and cardigan that are the same color, but weren't designed to go together. They are kind of a magenta color. I added my black/gray polka dot scarf and I'll be wearing my new gray boots when we leave for piano lessons. My tweed coat will finish it off.

I"m not feeling like I hit a 10 today, but I felt good that I pulled 3 pieces out of my closet before my shower and went with those... no second guessing. I'd say I don't feel especially ab, but I don't feel frumpy either... and I'm good with that today.

Moderately fab. Hey, I'm wearing cheerful orange and nice bootcut jeans. Yesterday was fabber, but compared to a few months ago, I'm way ahead.

Mildly fab. I'm good with the outfit, but tired and cranky with weather and getting back to the daily grind.

Great thread !

I FEEL fab, but I looked AWFUL ! The only two pairs of pants that fit were in the wash and I had on a pair of sweats. I didn't think that I was going anywhere. But I forgot that my son was staying at school late for something.

So, me and my sweatpants and my uber warm winter coat that doesn't fit, high tailed it to school. ( I had washed my hair and had concealer on thank God ). There was a woman there all in black with a red and black, blanket print shawl. Her hair looked great too. I told her how utterly fantastic she looked. Then I told her it probably wasn't a compliment coming from someone in sweats with a coat that didn't fit ! She burst out laughing and we had a lovely exchange.

Then she left and got into a beat up pick-up truck with ladders on it !

I LOVE that woman !

Me, me!!! Today I wore the Pleione tie blouse ( a la BeiJing) and I always feel fab when I wear that blouse! I wore it with black pants and my Aerosoles Patrol Car booties in grey leopard (from Angie's previous bootie blog). I was a little hesitant about the booties with the blouse, but they were calling to each other so I let them have their way. Since it was a fairly mild day (no coat required) my outdoor topper was a grey sweater jacket with faux fur collar. I can't wait to wear this outfit again...and that's a good feeling!
