You're gorgeous! And you have learned a lot in a year. YLF is my favorite place to be on the web </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-year-in-ylf-things-i-learnt#post-874256 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 10:54:33 +0000 ramya 874256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Ceit and Ornella... I will try posting WIW... The unearthly hours I work and lack of full length mirror in office and home(*I know horrendous isn't it... but then to my defence it is a furnished rented apartment where I cannot change anything) makes it difficult.</p> <p>Missvee: I hear you.</p> <p>Krish: I agree YLF is the best </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-year-in-ylf-things-i-learnt#post-874255 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 10:39:49 +0000 krishnidoux 874255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is fantastic Ramya! Good reflections. Isn't this community the best? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-year-in-ylf-things-i-learnt#post-874254 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 10:36:27 +0000 missvee 874254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great to hear from you! It's hard to believe that a year has gone by already and so many good things have happened for you. Your style is really developing and you are so right about colour, especially in northern climates (I'm in Canada). It just brightens the day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-year-in-ylf-things-i-learnt#post-874249 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 10:27:27 +0000 Anonymous 874249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations!

I agree, hope to see more of you this year! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-year-in-ylf-things-i-learnt#post-874225 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 09:04:28 +0000 Ornella 874225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely post Ramya and I can relate to every word you wrote, especially the magic the community does to one feeling wonderful about herself - in every way.</p> <p>Congratulations on the Veteran status! Let's see more of you in the next year </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-year-in-ylf-things-i-learnt#post-874224 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 09:02:24 +0000 ramya 874224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a veteran: *giggles*eye roll*</p> <p>I know I am still a novice . I don't think I displayed much of my style here but man Angie and you guys have really helped.<br /> Here are few things I have learnt:</p> <p>1) Blazers donot necessarily mean naughty secretary or air hostess. It can look elegant and polished.Hence the introduction to new wardrobe.<br /> 2)I love colors and yes, I am happy only when I wear them. So , why should I hide myself in dull colors.<br /> 3) Skinnies look good on me. Why hide my beaautiful pear shape.<br /> 4) When Sona said, size is just a number. That really hit me hard. I stopped trying to squeeze myself.<br /> 5) Western wear are as much fun as Indian and as long as I wear color , I am happy :)<br /> 6)Above all, You guys made me feel beautiful. I was insecure about my looks. Chubby cheeks, pear shape,mad curls :). But the positive vibes here and the love and acceptance, made me believe in my looks as much as I believe in my brain </p> <p>Non -looks related:<br /> 1)Online friendship is as real as real life friends.<br /> The support , the love I got here when I moved to a new country.Awesome :)</p> <p>Love you guys and thank you for everything. </p>
