I'm so glad this wonderful site has been a help to you. It is satisfying to be able to weed out all the things that don't work for us and to be able to focus on what <b>does</b> work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-big-thank-you-to-the-forum#post-1266105 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 02:44:39 +0000 Gigi 1266105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like what Susie said. It's nice to be confident enough in what works and what doesn't that you can leave a store empty-handed and not feel bad about it. I used to settle for "good enough," but I no longer do. And it's a good feeling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-big-thank-you-to-the-forum#post-1266098 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 02:38:56 +0000 Jaime 1266098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautifully put and cheers to that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-big-thank-you-to-the-forum#post-1266076 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 01:50:34 +0000 Quietgirl 1266076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very exciting to hear, Cindy. I've just arrived so your post is the nudge I need to keep reading. I guess it is probably time for me to start posting some questions of my own. I am eager to go from fine to fab! Thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-big-thank-you-to-the-forum#post-1266017 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 00:58:08 +0000 Susie 1266017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I now find it surprisingly satisfying to leave a store empty-handed. Part of it is already having plenty of things to wear but it's also now having a better understanding of what works for me and not settling for good enough. I have learned so much here and continue to learn from Angie and the wonderful members here.</p> <p>It is still disappointing to get something I ordered and find that it doesn't work but I know something even better will come along! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-big-thank-you-to-the-forum#post-1265957 Sat, 31 May 2014 23:25:28 +0000 Caro in Oz 1265957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's fantastic Cindy. Sometimes I think I learn more from the things that don't work than the things that do </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-big-thank-you-to-the-forum#post-1265931 Sat, 31 May 2014 22:25:36 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1265931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's great! Others here have said it's so frustrating to have to return things / send orders back, and it's true, but it's also really satisfying to receive something and realize right away 'nope, that's not going to work for me because of a, b, or c'. That kind of clarity is enjoyable to have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-big-thank-you-to-the-forum#post-1265929 Sat, 31 May 2014 22:17:21 +0000 deb 1265929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, this is a wonderful place to hang out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-big-thank-you-to-the-forum#post-1265850 Sat, 31 May 2014 20:05:44 +0000 Cindy S 1265850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I can't believe what a wealth of information and support there is here, it's fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-big-thank-you-to-the-forum#post-1265847 Sat, 31 May 2014 19:57:54 +0000 sarah 1265847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isn't it great how much you can learn here?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-big-thank-you-to-the-forum#post-1265836 Sat, 31 May 2014 19:42:52 +0000 Angie 1265836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brilliant news. I look forward to the photos.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for the kind words.

It's definitely a learning process and it can take us some real time and thought to figure out our own preferences and needs.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-big-thank-you-to-the-forum#post-1265795 Sat, 31 May 2014 18:50:35 +0000 Cindy S 1265795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is really just a quick post to express my thanks (photos to follow later) for how much I have learned from your outfit posts, and a thank you to Angie for the level of quality and style discernment you provide to us all. I just got most of my "big" Nordstrom sale order this week, and though disappointed by much of it (quality was high, color and fit were the issues), there was a newfound clarity through the knowledge I've gained here that pleases me. I am now much better at evaluating why something does NOT make me feel fab, and its a subtle distinction in fit and proportion that I didn't grasp before. So often I used to keep and wear items without understanding why they felt off kilter and they would wind up languishing in my closet. I would fall in love with a piece, but not the whole look and it was frustrating not to understand why. Now I get it! Or at least, I get MORE of it and look forward to continuing the learning process. Thank you all! </p>
