The bracelet is a work or art. Do you wear them? I didn't think you wore gold!

Love your description, and I always love the big contrast of an bl&amp;w outfit-because what else is that?

If I were to see my doctor wearing this I would unquestionably think she looked very stylish and professional. I am particularly enamoured with your doggie jewellery collection, if only I could find such items with Westies... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-a-really-me-week#post-2006490 Tue, 26 Feb 2019 02:08:58 +0000 gryffin 2006490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firecracker - I hope you like the danskins if you try them. I had never seen knot buttons before my fellowship. I badgered the secretaries for the company info and that was the days before the internet. You still have to track the coats down. Not easy to source. I bought 6 two years ago. I baby them.<br /> Shevia - you are such a darling!! I do have a couple of patient I talk clothes with. Also one patient years ago I asked to photo her haircut. A girl has got to have her priorities!!<br /> Kkards- I’m not sure it’s so much confidence as a stubborn ornery streak. I remember years ago when leggings were sooooooo out. I’d recently found YLF but was lurking. I was seriously considering giving up leggings although I love them. On the brink of that musing I saw a photo of Vera wang rocking all black and leggings. Angie then had a short foray into legging. That’s when I realized I was being really stupid. Why should I give up wearing something I love? My outfits are respectful, dressy, appropriate - why would I let “fashion” dictate that this choice is unfashionable. That was the moment I chose to dress like me and I’ve never looked back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-a-really-me-week#post-2006469 Tue, 26 Feb 2019 01:42:54 +0000 kkards 2006469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought I had commented earlier...must have forgotten to submit </p> <p>it takes a very confident and secure person to stake out a uniform and hold so true to it.
