I have to laugh at the clear distinction between the left brains and the right brains here. I approach an outfit completely from the left brain-- do the proportions work, do the colors coordinate, how many colors do I have going on here, PPL, etc. I was taken aback by the "do I feel fab in this?" type questions-- oh, yea... there's that aspect too LOL. I actually dont' trust my instincts enough yet as there have been many a outfit that I felt oh so fab in until I saw the pictures ;-( oops! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-questions#post-143792 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 12:16:29 +0000 Dawn 143792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Katiepea, I cannot stop laughing!</p> <p>My main questions are: if it starts raining, will my outfit or shoes get soaked; and do I feel like a million dollars in this? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-questions#post-143786 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 11:15:56 +0000 Katiepea 143786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh RoseandJean, that is so hillarious and so true! I forgot that I even ask myself that question as it is (usually) very ingrained into my psyche. Except yesterday [roll the dramatic music....] (Story follows)</p> <p>As I put on my black dress first thing in the morning, I couldn't recall why I hadn't worn it in *ages* as it is quite flattering and very comfy.</p> <p>Fast forward an hour...</p> <p>I remembered why at *precisley* the exact same moment Master 3 grabbed hold of the bottom of my dress (whilst I was talking to a friend in a very public place), lifted it up high above his head (to approximately my waist height) in order to try to gain access to 'hide' underneath.</p> <p>No, I don't know why. Yes, we are close, but not that close. Yes, I encourage him to share, but really, there are times, surely when it is ok that what's mine is mine and what's yours is yours?! (I did ask him later if he was trying to re-birth, but he was muttering something more along the lines of "hide and seek is fun, mummy!") </p> <p>I should add that the "lifting action" was all done in the space of time of about ooh, I'd say, a nano-second (way faster than my reaction speed) and exposed to the world my lovely purple cottontails.</p> <p>"Nice undies Katie" my friend giggled. What could I say? "Ta. Can you tell I like purple?" I replied, my face nearly the same shade as my undies, as I attempted to wrestle junior out from underneath me (suddenly surprisingly strong as it appeared that he was quite comfortable under there).</p> <p>Repeat, learn from my mistakes..... learn from Katiepea's mistakes.....! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-questions#post-143779 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 10:46:38 +0000 RoseandJoan 143779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great thread Kim</p> <p>This one is maybe a little specific to the MOTG's but as the girls are constantly tugging and pulling I have to ask 'Will I be exposed in public today?' Yes my bra has been exposed, my leggings pulled down (in the house phew) and little heads love to suddenly pop up under my skirts.</p> <p>Also because I like to mix patterns and now colours, I have to ask 'what is the main star and what are the supporting acts?' </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-questions#post-143759 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 07:17:03 +0000 Mac 143759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does it feel comfortable? Eg. Does anything rub, itch or constrict? Will I spend the whole day pulling the skirt down or the top, up? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-questions#post-143758 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 07:14:25 +0000 JuliaInGermany 143758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great questions. Before YLF I only asked myself "Any obvious stains?" and "Is everything covered that needs to be?". Oh dear, being a SAHM has really made me sloppy. :-/</p> <p>However since starting YLF I put in a little more effort. And I always ask myself if I can take my outfit up a notch by adding/subtracting/changing an accessory. It seems such a little thing to change, but it really makes a difference in how I look and feel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-questions#post-143751 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 07:05:18 +0000 Katiepea 143751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ask myself "Do I look like a yummy-mummy or a scummy-mummy?" (True.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-questions#post-143738 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 06:08:33 +0000 Theresa 143738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow girls - I'm seriously taking notes here. This has given me a light bulb moment :D</p> <p>I usually just look and see if I look OK, but I think addressing specific concerns (ie have I emphasised my upper half/de-emphasised my lower half etc) might be more beneficial... </p> <p>"Do I look ok?" is really quite vague, whereas addressing specific questions will help to narrow down areas I need to work on.</p> <p>Thank you all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-questions#post-143592 Thu, 15 Apr 2010 02:15:36 +0000 marianna 143592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are my trouble areas concealed?

One more I ask myself is how my rear view looks.

Do I have some contrast (unless I'm going for monotone)? Do I have too much contrast (unless it's a deliberate look like black and white)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-questions#post-143439 Wed, 14 Apr 2010 22:02:33 +0000 Louise 143439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Will these shoes be comfortable? x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-questions#post-143437 Wed, 14 Apr 2010 21:58:38 +0000 Dusty 143437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I bend over, is anybody going to see something I don't want them to? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-questions#post-143434 Wed, 14 Apr 2010 21:56:09 +0000 Debbie 143434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One that I've just started asking myself is: Do I need accessories? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-questions#post-143428 Wed, 14 Apr 2010 21:12:50 +0000 Stylin 143428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of mine is - do the proportions work - skirt to top length, pants to top length, dress or tunic to leggings, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-questions#post-143422 Wed, 14 Apr 2010 21:06:26 +0000 Michelle 143422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One question I ask myself nearly every day is whether or not I've achieved ppl. It may mean some shoe-swapping, but I now feel flat-out uncomfortable if my pants aren't at the sweet spot!<br /> The other questions I ask myself are always more on the practical side. Is this outfit right for the weather? Is my shirt gaping or pulling in any way due to weight fluctuations (you may well never have this problem), what sort of accessory would be most effective? Does the comfort of the outfit fit my mood? Does this draw the right kind of attention to my waist (works for me, as an hourglass).</p> <p>I'll be interested to see your list evolve and may well steal it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-questions#post-143421 Wed, 14 Apr 2010 21:05:45 +0000 rute 143421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh.. that's easy.. I always ask: does it makes me look slimmer! It's flattering for my body shap? do I feel sexy it it? I like to feel sexy and powerful!<br /> I ask the same questions everytime I look at a piece in the store! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-questions#post-143420 Wed, 14 Apr 2010 21:04:40 +0000 cciele 143420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do I have VPL (visible panty lines)? </p> <p>Or worse, show through of undergarments in general! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-questions#post-143417 Wed, 14 Apr 2010 20:54:47 +0000 Queen Mum 143417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd like to compile a list of a handful of outfit evaluation questions that I need to ask in front of the mirror each morning before I call it a deal.<br /> What are the things you evaluate in your outfit before you walk out the door?</p> <p>Example-<br /> Have I added unnecessary "weight" to my hips or bust with this outfit? </p>
