Art director Matilda Kahl talks about her 'uniform' that she wears every day to work. I found this article so interesting - and a little infuriating - when she compares the reaction she gets, wearing the same outfit every day, to the reaction her male co-workers get, when they do the same.

I like the idea of additional style options for pregnant women. Unlike some YLFers, when I was pregnant (22 years ago!), I couldn't wear my regular clothes much past my first trimester even though I didn't gain that much weight so had to wear real maternity wear. Thus, I can appreciate the style challenges of gender queer women who want to dress like themselves.

COS is coming to Canada, yay! I think we talked about it coming to the US before, but I believe this is newsworthy for us Cdns. Does this link work? I'm on my iPad....

This tongue-in-cheek article about culottes made me giggle.

I found this site that builds rooms with links in them. This one is themed for fashion and has a TON of good sites in it.

Works perfectly, Jackie, and how fun! COS often has interesting pieces.
Diana - It had the same effect on me:-))
Justina - That's an interesting concept (and one could definitely end up spending more time than intended browsing all the rooms).

Thank you sweet ladies!

I came across this post that's actually from a year ago - but wondering whether the "power eyebrows" look is still a thing this year?

I used to pluck my brows to have an arch (mine are sort of straight and wing upward at the outer edges) - but over the last few years decided I liked their natural shape better. I do pluck stray eyebrow hairs, though.

For me, I much prefer my look with my natural brow thickness and shape.

Thanks for the link, Jeweled, I believe strong brows are still "on trend"

This thread is now closed. Thank you again everyone for all the excellent links.

Inge I know I've missed the boat for this week, but can I submit this to you now for inclusion next week? Because I won't remember or find it again...

This is The Vivienne Files' take on what works and what doesn't and why in different ways to mix the same garments. Think of it as bookending in multiple dimensions, with her wonderful way of illustrating all the possibilities. I think others will find this as fun to peruse as I did.

I don't see the new Link Love post up yet so will post here before I forget. Inside Out had a post that caught my attention about what your skirt length says about you. I am sensitive to this because of age but also don't want to look frumpy. I suspect the post may be controversial.

I can't see the info on how to donate to Butchbaby because it requires software I don't use (adobe flash)--is there any way I can throw a few dollars their way with PayPal or a credit card instead of a debit card? TIA

Iron Ethel Flint - I'm not sure. I think the best way to find out is to contact them directly. I see this email address on their website: hello@butchbaby.co. Or you could ask on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/butchbabyco

Thanks very much, Joy. I've saved your link for this week's post.
