Good points too. I'm going to leave mine visible from now on. Diana, I hadn't even thought about the issue of bumping. Of course comments and views aren't related. Laurie on "Do you look at old outfit posts?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-look-at-old-outfit-posts/page/2#post-1099662 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 18:05:59 +0000 Laurie 1099662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes. I don't post much but over the few years I've been here I have accumulated  a small cache of WIW'sand they help me see my own progress. peacechick on "Do you look at old outfit posts?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-look-at-old-outfit-posts#post-1099582 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 16:38:34 +0000 peacechick 1099582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It's really useful to be able to do a search when you need something. For example, if I want to research a particular style e.g. Tuxedo jacket, I would use the search to see who has one and how to style it. Astrid, I remember you had a thread on what to wear to a formal event and ended up with separates. That was a really helpful lesson that we don't always have to buy a dress for such dos.

Diana on "Do you look at old outfit posts?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-look-at-old-outfit-posts#post-1099574 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 16:29:24 +0000 Diana 1099574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Coming back to add that while I do look at old posts a lot, I almost never comment on them because I feel weird bumping a really old thread.  So just because there's no new comments that doesn't mean nobody is reading the thread. Suz on "Do you look at old outfit posts?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-look-at-old-outfit-posts#post-1099573 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 16:27:23 +0000 Suz 1099573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What Sveta said. I do find it useful at times.  Sveta on "Do you look at old outfit posts?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-look-at-old-outfit-posts#post-1099538 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 15:54:57 +0000 Sveta 1099538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sometimes I do look at the older posts for the reasons already mentioned. I never hide my pictures (although maybe I should to hide some really bad ones, especially for K/R...) Elizabeth P on "Do you look at old outfit posts?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-look-at-old-outfit-posts#post-1099533 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 15:45:06 +0000 Elizabeth P 1099533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I definitely go back to get styling ideas if I get, or are contemplating, something new.  Emily on "Do you look at old outfit posts?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-look-at-old-outfit-posts#post-1099531 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 15:41:09 +0000 Emily 1099531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sure do!  When folks ask for ideas/inspiration I look back at their older posts to get a sense of what is in their wardrobe.  I can def. remember going back to your old posts and not seeing pics.  :) Transcona Shannon on "Do you look at old outfit posts?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-look-at-old-outfit-posts#post-1099471 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 14:41:52 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1099471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Once posted, my pictures stay up forever. I do occasionally look back at outfits to see what it looked like, what the comments were, etc. in order to see if I want to wear it again.  Aziraphale on "Do you look at old outfit posts?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-look-at-old-outfit-posts#post-1099455 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 14:26:06 +0000 Aziraphale 1099455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Never.  :-) Hil on "Do you look at old outfit posts?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-look-at-old-outfit-posts#post-1099303 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 06:52:17 +0000 Hil 1099303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love being able to go back to my own old posts and see my journey thus far and see old outfits through fresh eyes. I also like to be able to get a feel for others through their previous posts. So a big yay to keeping pics visible! deb on "Do you look at old outfit posts?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-look-at-old-outfit-posts#post-1099295 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 06:41:06 +0000 deb 1099295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, I go back to help recall a particular outfit I like.

I look back at those that I've favorited and sometimes my own when I can't remember how I had previously styled an outfit. Ariadne on "Do you look at old outfit posts?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-look-at-old-outfit-posts#post-1099285 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 06:20:57 +0000 Ariadne 1099285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, constantly. rachylou on "Do you look at old outfit posts?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-look-at-old-outfit-posts#post-1099240 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 05:03:05 +0000 rachylou 1099240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh yes, definitely. When I want to be reinspired or do a copycat later on or see how someone's style has evolved (that's been very instructional, to see how people have tackled changing style goals)... amiable on "Do you look at old outfit posts?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-look-at-old-outfit-posts#post-1099219 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 04:28:47 +0000 amiable 1099219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I also go back quite frequently - to posts I've favorited for inspiration, or to posts that I remember looking at some time ago.  Today I looked way back in Suz's blog for pics of her haircut when she first got it - to see if it's similar to the haircut I got (not very).

Sarah A on "Do you look at old outfit posts?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-look-at-old-outfit-posts#post-1099036 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 00:28:45 +0000 Sarah A 1099036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ If I am looking for styling ideas for an item (new or orphaned...) ill often search through old posts, usually others since my own dont probably feature the item in question, for inspiration. Jewell on "Do you look at old outfit posts?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-look-at-old-outfit-posts#post-1099030 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 00:24:47 +0000 Jewell 1099030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yep, even if I don't comment. Sometimes I do it to familiarize myself with someone's style, wardrobe, etc and sometimes it's for inspiration or to help with decision making. For example, just the other day I looked up some of Claire's outfit posts featuring her moto jacket because we're body type twins and I was considering ordering one. Earlier today I was looking for ideas for styling a tweed blazer as I'm thinking of buying one of those, too.

It's helpful when they ask for opinions. I leave my old pictures up too, even though some of them are embarrassing.  carter on "Do you look at old outfit posts?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-look-at-old-outfit-posts#post-1098904 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 22:47:14 +0000 carter 1098904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I go back all the time to get to know members' styles. vipanchi on "Do you look at old outfit posts?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-look-at-old-outfit-posts#post-1098893 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 22:35:46 +0000 vipanchi 1098893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ yes! its definitely helpful for inspiration! Diana on "Do you look at old outfit posts?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-look-at-old-outfit-posts#post-1098891 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 22:33:19 +0000 Diana 1098891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I do.  A lot of times I'll see something (like a cool article of clothing in a store or whatever) and be reminded of an outfit someone wore here, and I like to go back and look at them for inspiration.  I also go back and look at my own posts quite a bit, esp. as Deborah says when I'm on my ipad or somewhere where I don't have access to my whole photo library.  This is a big reason why I have a lookfab blog, because it's easier to look through only my own posts that way.  Astrid on "Do you look at old outfit posts?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-look-at-old-outfit-posts#post-1098889 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 22:30:41 +0000 Astrid 1098889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Seems like it would be useful to leave them visible from now on. @AviaMariah I won't make my old pics visible again - of course it would be interesting to look at the old ones, but honestly I'm glad that some are hidden. I just had no clue when I joined here. Deborah on "Do you look at old outfit posts?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-look-at-old-outfit-posts#post-1098886 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 22:28:01 +0000 Deborah 1098886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, I leave my visible.  Often I find I want to refer back, can't find the pic on my tablet etc.  Same for others, I might recall someone a fabber wore and want to go back to it. AviaMariah on "Do you look at old outfit posts?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-look-at-old-outfit-posts#post-1098884 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 22:26:46 +0000 AviaMariah 1098884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, sometimes I need to remind myself of someone's style.  Or I'll suddenly be drawn to someone's style and it helps to be able to go back and get a feel for their style journey.

Amy on "Do you look at old outfit posts?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-look-at-old-outfit-posts#post-1098881 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 22:21:39 +0000 Amy 1098881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I often do! JG on "Do you look at old outfit posts?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-look-at-old-outfit-posts#post-1098880 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 22:20:36 +0000 JG 1098880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ If a member posts a K/R and I'm not familiar with her style or her existing wardrobe I'm likely to look at her old posts before I weigh in. Funny, but sometimes by the time I've formulated an opinion the K/R question has been resolved. No matter, my "research" has been fun and educational. Really, I just enjoy the forum, whether the posts are from this week, last month, last year...
