I just love it! Thanks for all your hard work Angie and Greg! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-inspiration-behind-your-outfit-posts#post-328588 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 21:27:01 +0000 Ornella 328588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for asking Julie, I bet many of us wanted to know this.</p> <p>I loved cameo backgrounds since they had been introduced and how faithfully they represent months.</p> <p>But what I really love is the recent Angie outfit posts and clever selection of the settings. I dawned on me while reading <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2011/03/01/neutrals-in-a-colourful-city"> the Mexico City post</a> and seeing how cleverly chosen and photographed those outfits were in the colorful city - a fabulous contrast (and fab tip for packing too) that just highlighted both elements, Angie's monochromatic outfits and the colors of the city.</p> <p>And although cherry blossoms are stunning, my recent favorite is <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2011/03/25/a-not-so-buttoned-up-suit">the post with the suit</a>. Visual and psychological, for me at least, contrast of the suit (representing form, order, formal dressing) and the walls with the ripped off and new posters, which all look like diy, on a rough wall - fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-inspiration-behind-your-outfit-posts#post-328492 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 18:41:49 +0000 RoseandJoan 328492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much Angie for such an insightful response, the visual aspect of YLF is off the charts right now, in fact it is far more appealing than the glossy mags I read at the hairdressers this week. Thanks again for sharing and thanks to Greg for the photography. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-inspiration-behind-your-outfit-posts#post-328410 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 16:23:13 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 328410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Debbie. Thanks for asking the question, Julie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-inspiration-behind-your-outfit-posts#post-328398 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 16:07:13 +0000 Debbie 328398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great question Julie! I often wondered about that too.<br /> Angie what sets this blog apart in my opinion is that you and Greg take so time with it. The what you wear post are inspirational to me because a certain style or pairing of a piece will catch my eye and help me with my own style evolution. Its no secret that I love you recommendations and store picks too!</p> <p>The time and thought you put into the visuals is really what makes this blog a home instead of a house. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-inspiration-behind-your-outfit-posts#post-328393 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 15:49:17 +0000 Irene 328393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love doing photoshoots with friends and think Greg is really good at that! (I mean, taking photos) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-inspiration-behind-your-outfit-posts#post-328388 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 15:40:32 +0000 Lisa 328388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great question, I'm glad this was asked! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-inspiration-behind-your-outfit-posts#post-328327 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 14:16:01 +0000 Angie 328327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are not at all inappropriate, Julie. You hit the nail on the head already and its all of the reasons you've mentioned! </p> <p>It took me 2 years and a month to reveal my identity on YLF and only a year after that did I do the odd outfit post. YLF is not a daily outfit site where I show people what I wear each day. YLF is a place to share stylish thoughts and find solutions to outfit challenges. All budgets, body types, ages and fashion personas. I'd be uncomfortable making this blog about me (one body, age, budget and fashion persona), plus it wouldn't help our readership, nor is it the correct professional thing to do in my opinion - although opinions on this subject will differ. </p> <p>But over the years, there have been countless requests to see what I wear and that's understandable too. I must practice what I preach. So we *try* to fit in an outfit post every week or fortnight. The pictures have to be of excellent quality and in an interesting location because YLF must maintain a high visual standard - this is one of the things that sets it apart from other sites. Yes - this takes time, which is at a forever shortage!! </p> <p>When Greg needs to change the background, we do an outfit post too. The combination is a visual winner. </p> <p>When I feel I have something meaningful to share about an outfit, we shoot it. There is no methodical approach at all actually. And shooting it in a convenient location is key in order to save time - like on our way to a business meeting or out to lunch. They are all outfits that I wear or am already wearing for the day. Nothing is make believe :)</p> <p>I hope that I have satisfied some of your curiosity. Feel free to ask more questions </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-inspiration-behind-your-outfit-posts#post-328284 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 10:52:51 +0000 RoseandJoan 328284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This question has been prompted by two things, firstly the beautiful cherry blossoms on April's cover and a comment you made regarding 'stylists not posting WIW', soooooo if it's not too inconvenient I would love to know what inspires your outfit blogs? Is it the outfit, Is it the location, or is it that an outfit reinforces a message you wish to blog about? </p> <p>I'm also interested (because I'm apologetically nosey) in how you schedule these blogs, they must require a huge amount of work, are they planned weeks in advance or can they be impromptu?</p> <p>Thank you Angie and have a FAB weekend<br /> , p.s. please feel free to ignore the question if it is too inappropriate </p>
