I think that's exactly what these boards are for. They show us what we know, but do not know we know. </p> <p>And this, to me, is a manifestation of your quote about style being the pure expression of personality (sorry, can't recall the precise words.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/be-careful-what-you-pin#post-843119 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 13:47:09 +0000 Janet 843119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny!</p> <p>I have a related story -- longish read, but I do think its pretty cool. </p> <p>Years ago, when my husband and I were newlyweds living in a 800sf house, I started getting into interior design, garden design, etc. I watched a lot of HGTV, took classes, etc. Even worked in a design studio for a while. I regularly ripped pages out of magazines and filed them away for inspiration. </p> <p>Fast-forward to a couple of years ago. We had moved into our "dream home" and started doing a bunch of work on the outside, including a big project completely regrading and paving our driveway and redesigning the front yard to make better use of the very hilly space. We hired a terrific landscape architect who was born and raised in Japan and educated at Harvard, and he did a great job -- we're really pleased and love our home! </p> <p>Well, I was cleaning out some files from my office and ran across some old folders, and yes, they were those inspiration images from about a decade ago. Lo and behold, there is one that is not just a single page, but a full multi-page article with a beautiful Japanese-inspired home and garden design. The designer? The guy we hired years later, even though I had no conscious recollection of that original article. I showed it to him, and he got a big kick out of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/be-careful-what-you-pin#post-843098 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 13:03:47 +0000 Mona 843098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Caro, I love your new suit. Is it more navy blue or more purple blue in real life? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/be-careful-what-you-pin#post-843092 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 12:56:23 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 843092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That pin reminds me of David Bowie in the good ole days. I think he was/is a trendsetter so that is a good thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/be-careful-what-you-pin#post-843059 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 11:23:17 +0000 Atlantia 843059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny how that happens sometimes, isn't it? New suit is smashing, btw. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/be-careful-what-you-pin#post-843050 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 11:12:10 +0000 Inge 843050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*SMILE* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/be-careful-what-you-pin#post-843022 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 09:19:13 +0000 rute 843022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>how funny! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/be-careful-what-you-pin#post-843011 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 08:49:54 +0000 Astrid 843011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that's too funny! But it shows you know what you like. I think Rae is right, pinning helps to make a style second-nature. I now have a gut feeling if an item is me or not when I go shopping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/be-careful-what-you-pin#post-843010 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 08:45:43 +0000 Hil 843010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On another note, that suite looks so similar to the pants that Deborah posted about perhaps wearing to the wedding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/be-careful-what-you-pin#post-842994 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 07:46:05 +0000 Kiwichik 842994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahaha how funny - love your suit - gee I hope some of my pins appear in my wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/be-careful-what-you-pin#post-842973 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 07:23:10 +0000 catgirl 842973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I do love your suit, Caro... well worth the subliminal pin shopping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/be-careful-what-you-pin#post-842966 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 07:14:36 +0000 Caro in Oz 842966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>doulahil you could be right - I kept a real estate agents ad for an apartment in the city we are now living in long before we moved here. We are currently living in the same building:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/be-careful-what-you-pin#post-842962 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 07:05:37 +0000 Hil 842962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think of Pinterest as my online "vision board" and the people who advocate using vision boards often say you need to create that vision board and then forget about it. You have put it out there and the universe will do it's thing to make it happen. Maybe that is what happened here </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/be-careful-what-you-pin#post-842944 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 06:32:57 +0000 Ingunn 842944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too funny!

It helps our sense of style become more second-nature. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/be-careful-what-you-pin#post-842937 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 06:10:10 +0000 Caro in Oz 842937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Deb - how were the JE ones?<br /> Joy &amp; deb - I know I'd totally forgotten (like you do). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/be-careful-what-you-pin#post-842933 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 06:07:19 +0000 deb 842933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too funny!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/be-careful-what-you-pin#post-842930 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 06:03:10 +0000 Anonymous 842930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/be-careful-what-you-pin#post-842929 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 06:02:43 +0000 Deborah 842929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How amazing Had you forgotten tat you had this pic?
