Tidy closet.</p> <p>2. Shoes that are polished and re-souled. Many now have comfy insoles. </p> <p>3. A better, more sensible choice of shoes and footwear.</p> <p>4. Found a better, cheaper tailer too.</p> <p>5. Special section for handbags have been created in my closet.</p> <p>6. Scarves have their own drawer! (Whereas before they were tucked away in a shoe box).</p> <p>7. Actually using my jewelery boxes.</p> <p>8. More current pieces hang in my closet and on my shoulders.</p> <p>9. Skinny jeans!</p> <p>10. Hairstyle! Changed it radically to a daring style that fits my life and my face much better. </p> <p>11. More compliments from Hubby.</p> <p>12. Less time spent dressing in the morning.</p> <p>13. A marked decrease in "I-don't-have-anything-to-wear" mornings, in fact almost (almost) eradicated.</p> <p>14. Charities know me by name. Donnations pick-up guy on my cell phone contact list.</p> <p>15. Old pieces get a second active life. </p> <p>16. Feeling much better about myself.</p> <p>There must be more, but I'll stop here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/after-ylf#post-432844 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 10:50:32 +0000 Deborah 432844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ladies thanks for a good giggle. I have always been particular but have become even more so over the last few months. I am becoming a much more discerning shopper and have been late for work on more than one occasion due to the fine tuning of an outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/after-ylf#post-432797 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 04:54:27 +0000 AJ 432797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I compliment strangers more on their outfit or accessory as I now know that it matters when you make the effort to look nice.</p> <p>I will stare at a flower bouquet/art/print ad, etc. and wonder what pieces in my closet will replicate that color combo.</p> <p>My kids are great consultants since they've been learning right along with me in my style journey! : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/after-ylf#post-432796 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 04:50:43 +0000 Jenava 432796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely notice other people's outfit more...and think to myself, "if only she'd worn a different shoe", or "doesn't she see how ill fitting that is?" </p> <p>And, Honestly, too-short boot-cut trousers worn with heels is just about the WORST. Makes me think of YLF every time...even though I tend to violate PPL with skinny pants, the boot-cut or wide-leg PPL is not to be toyed with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/after-ylf#post-432794 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 04:47:00 +0000 lyn* 432794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was watching a teaching video for medicine recently, about how to do laproscopic surgery.</p> <p>I don't know how to do lap surgery after watching it; but I know that the lady surgeon did not have PPL.</p> <p>******</p> <p>Oh, and a surgeon asked me to estimate the size of a patient.</p> <p>Me; "Oh, about a size 8."</p> <p>Surgeon: "I meant in lbs."</p> <p>Me; "Oh."</p> <p>Surgeon: "Girls." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/after-ylf#post-432791 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 04:45:12 +0000 Kari 432791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Modgrl, I know I'm not the only one, but watching Mad Men for the first time a few years ago totally cemented my style as a die-hard blouse and pencil skirt girl. :)</p> <p>I think one of the things I notice is when I'm watching a historical drama and like a period costume, and I start thinking about how I could possibly interpret that look in a modern sense. Not that I get that far, but I do wonder. And I notice fit issues on passers-by far more often than I did before YLF. And also, on the flip side, I notice strangers and acquaintances with impeccable style much more than I used to, and try to take a mental snapshot of what a person I admire is wearing so I can try to emulate it on my own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/after-ylf#post-432695 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 02:36:46 +0000 Angie 432695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*chuckle*</p> <p>Great thoughts, Renae </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/after-ylf#post-432573 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 00:46:59 +0000 modgrl 432573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We are catching up on season 3 of mad men and all of the women are wearing amazing pussy bow blouses! Such great inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/after-ylf#post-432568 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 00:42:52 +0000 kimlee 432568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Renae - I had to chuckle at your descriptions of recent events. I have found myself doing very similar things since I joined YLF. The most vivid is making my hubby stop the car in the middle of an intersection so I could snap a pic of a mannequin in a store window. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/after-ylf#post-432473 Wed, 28 Sep 2011 23:17:37 +0000 renae 432473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I started reading YLF this year, and was pretty clueless before that. A few things that have happened lately:<br /> - dashing out the door, late for work, then running back in for a necklace<br /> - rewinding the DVR to have a closer look at what a girl is wearing in a commercial<br /> - seeing a picture of myself at the funeral of an elderly friend. First thought, "Aw. . ." Second thought, "WHAT was I wearing?" </p>
