I found myself admiring how they were "styled", and that is the word I used in my head. In fact she and Diego apparently cultivated her image pretty carefully so they probably were "styled" in today's lingo.<br /> I definitely see a huge connection between home decor and fashion and since I am working hard on both right now there is cross influence. I might see a decor photo I admire but then realize it's cheaper and easier to try the colour/pattern combo in an outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-unexpected-bonus-side-effect-of-ylf#post-811385 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 02:42:32 +0000 Anonymous 811385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aha! In my case, I actually discovered that the design stuff I did in what seems another life - I did four years of advertising and graphic design, and needed 5 to graduate - seems to apply to our little gig here;)<br /> I am glad the decor went smoothly. It can be a struggle. I still cannot decide on a wall color for this one wall in my apartment and I have been here for 8 years lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-unexpected-bonus-side-effect-of-ylf#post-811378 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 02:40:20 +0000 Angie 811378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:)</p> <p>:)</p> <p>:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-unexpected-bonus-side-effect-of-ylf#post-811365 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 02:30:22 +0000 Jaime 811365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We went to an art museum this past week and I found that my ability to appreciate certain aspects of color and texture has improved. There happen to be some fashion related exhibits and I definitely got more out of those than I would have before YLF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-unexpected-bonus-side-effect-of-ylf#post-811330 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 01:56:33 +0000 catgirl 811330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I mentioned that my parents bought a condo while they were here, and wanted to furnish it before they left. My mom and I ran around like maniacs in the short bursts of time we could leave the kids with someone, looking for furniture and artwork. Thanks to YLfF, I was able to picture combinations, pattern mix fabrics, and coordinate pieces like a pro! We did mostly neutrals with pops of red - some charcoal, some browns, and a few whimsical patterns. I'll post some pics when everything is delivered. </p> <p>I would have been completely overwhelmed and confused without the skills I've learned here. My mom was amazed at my confidence and ability, and it is of course thanks to what I've learned here!</p> <p>Anyone else find their style lessons spilling over into other areas? </p>
