I feel for you with your color restrictions at work&nbsp;&amp; hot weather dressing. Sometimes we just want a good, cold winter, don't we! (Though the northerners would remind us that the grass is always greener.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-lurker-saying-hello#post-1056536 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 14:42:38 +0000 dustt 1056536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>a fellow newbie waving hello!! - </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-lurker-saying-hello#post-1056522 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 14:34:42 +0000 Anonymous 1056522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome!. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-lurker-saying-hello#post-1056496 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 13:52:15 +0000 Brenn 1056496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She arise, I welcome any help on staying stylish in the heat! Last year I moved from Florida to Texas, which was no help! I've lived in climates from Norway to Indonesia, but I really miss a true four-season wardrobe. Being pear shaped, I struggle with shorts and don't love skirts for casual. I usually end up in shorts I don't like with a boring top on my days off and it certainly doesn't make me feel fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-lurker-saying-hello#post-1056429 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 10:58:05 +0000 Anonymous 1056429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-lurker-saying-hello#post-1056353 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 05:36:15 +0000 shemarie 1056353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Brenn! I'm so glad all of us newbies are coming in together.&nbsp; &nbsp;Like you, I live in a climate of two seasons: hot and hotter. I&nbsp;came from the upper Midwest, and you're exactly right,&nbsp;so many months now without boots and layers and sweaters and coats, fashion-wise, really <i>does</i> get depressing and tedious.&nbsp; Can't wait to see you post pics and hopefully we can both find a way past that style hurdle! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-lurker-saying-hello#post-1056349 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 05:02:13 +0000 Beth Ann 1056349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, Brenn!&nbsp; Sounds like you're well on your way!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-lurker-saying-hello#post-1056290 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 03:37:46 +0000 Brenn 1056290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the kind welcomes. I love having Nordstrom so accessible, but the plus-sized department is hit-or-miss, so I do still order a fair amount online to try. That said, working in the mall 5 days a week makes returns a snap.</p> <p>My style is mostly classic, but I love a bit of boho and rocker-esque touches. I'm a sucker for bold accessories and great shoes, but being on my feet all day requires less exciting footwear. </p> <p>Since I've been reading YLF, I'm haven't changed too much in what I like and respond to the most, but it has been incredibly helpful in pointing me towards some favorites. Plus, I have become master of the purge and a lot pickier. For the first time, I feel like I may have too few clothes. However, I don't want to rush into buying replacements. Looking forward to learning even more! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-lurker-saying-hello#post-1056262 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 03:04:50 +0000 Thistle 1056262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome! I would happily share some of my Wisconsin winter with you. :). I am on the other side. I hate winter and own waaaay too many sandals for our brief summers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-lurker-saying-hello#post-1056258 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 03:02:21 +0000 nancylee 1056258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome! &nbsp;We old-timers are anxious to see your style. &nbsp;This is a safe place, so have no fear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-lurker-saying-hello#post-1056238 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 02:32:36 +0000 Suz 1056238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome!

I have to say I have missed being able to see everyone's fab outfits these last few days, so I'm happy to introduce myself and be more a part of this wonderful community.</p> <p>I am a size 18/20 pear, and work as a retail store manager - a job which requires me to wear only black, white, or cream. This is a big jump from Gap, Inc., where I worked for the previous 7 years, where jeans and colorful blazers and accessories were my "uniform". I now find myself needing to spend more on my work wardrobe, but also find my at-home capsule oddly lacking. </p> <p>I love to shop, and the fact that I work about 50 feet from the front door of a Nordstrom is doing no favors to my budget! My other style challenge is that I live in a climate that is quite warm year-round, which is can be depressing for this former New Englander, who loves fall/winter clothing so much! Feeling stylish during approximately 10 months of warm weather is not something I love.</p> <p>Looking forward to posting pictures of my own soon! </p>
