Hi Fabbers. I've been mostly lurking here since last winter and learning a lot from all of you. I'm sorry I haven't been a more productive member of the forum and want to rectify that by coming out of lurker mode!

I lost a lot of weight last winter and found YLF while I was trying to figure out how to rebuild my wardrobe. After a 70lb loss it's been fun finding clothes that I like and work for me. I work in a creative environment so I have a lot of leeway.

I also found thru the last few months that after carefully procuring some great garments, I was finding myself wearing the same thing repeatedly. So I decided to start my own private WIW catalog on Pinterest so that I could inspire myself when I need an idea instead of reaching for the same old thing.

I am also trying to develop a wardrobe that reflects my style and personality. But I guess everyone is trying to do that right? At any relate, I decided to post some recent outfits in an effort to contribute to the site and to see if you guys could spot any immediate styling miscues.

Thanks for looking and any comments are welcome.

#1 - green silk blouse (over eight years old but one of the few well loved items from my old wardrobe that I can still wear), BR wide linen trousers that I found myself never wearing! (Bonus appearance by Sookie the wonder dog and Richard the cat).

#2 - travel day. Drapey jacket from Anthro (spring purchase & I realize this is only about the third time I've worn it!) with b&w pin stripe cuff lining, b&w polka dot cami, gap jeans with a salvage hem, and SE Yazmine sandals found on sale at piperlime for 60% off!

#3 - Friday Funday. Polka dot blouse from H&M, dear john textured jeans (I have lived in these this summer) and Kork-ease wedges from Nordstorm on discount in the past month. I just discovered this brand and love them. I ordered some Kork-ease booties during NAS that I can't wait to wear this fall.
