I sometimes still struggle with this myself, and I am saving your thread to come back to&nbsp;and read again when I'm having those "waiting for one day" moments. Life is too short for that, and fashion too much fun. Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-the-body-i-have-now-a-huge-thank-you/page/2#post-1286759 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 17:33:20 +0000 Marley 1286759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Shannon - for your wise words, your positive attitude, and your willingness to be vulnerable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-the-body-i-have-now-a-huge-thank-you/page/2#post-1286581 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 14:03:37 +0000 Eliza 1286581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon- you are both well dressed and well spoken. &nbsp;A real inspiration on all fronts. &nbsp;Your style leaps off the page and if I were lucky enough to see you IRL, I would notice your put together, always interesting and current look. <br />&nbsp;<br />Almost everyone I know has some aspect of getting a wardrobe together that is challenging or requires accommodation. &nbsp;Agree that the trick is to tend it and move on to the fun that is fashion. &nbsp;Women can be so helpful to each other in this regard, and the spirit here reflects that daily.&nbsp;<br />Cheers to you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-the-body-i-have-now-a-huge-thank-you/page/2#post-1286564 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 13:24:43 +0000 Ingunn 1286564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wise and well said, Shannon. You are a true inspiration, not only fashion-wise, but also because of your fabulous outlook on body issues, fashion, life in general. Thank you so much for this. Your attitude is a great reminder of the importance of being appreciative of what we already have! That does in no way imply that you don't have much to show for - on the contrary.</p> <p>You are a true fashion icon to me. I think you dress better than most - and you do it every day. You are a classy, beautiful lady!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-the-body-i-have-now-a-huge-thank-you/page/2#post-1286528 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 11:57:46 +0000 Janet 1286528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic, Shannon.

I always check out your WIW if I am about. There is no one body shape or size that owns style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-the-body-i-have-now-a-huge-thank-you/page/2#post-1286474 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 09:13:26 +0000 Debra 1286474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can sooooooo relate to everything you've said :)<br /> For me it's always been "when I lose weight" not any more, I'm enjoying clothes NOW </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-the-body-i-have-now-a-huge-thank-you/page/2#post-1286412 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 05:14:09 +0000 Marmee 1286412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I couldn't agree more. Thank you for articulating this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-the-body-i-have-now-a-huge-thank-you/page/2#post-1286400 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 04:48:53 +0000 MsLuna 1286400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, your style always inspires me! I always look forward to your outfits because you just have such a unique and defined style. Also, you are, in a way, my comfort-loving style sister and your EF outfits (and rave reviews) are what turned me into trying the brand out (and loving the aesthetic). </p> <p>And Angie, seriously you have the BEST style blog/style forum ever. Very body positive and lifestyle-friendly. I spend more time here than any social media these days - seriously! Angie, you have cultivated an environment of creativity, compassion and empowerment! </p> <p>I've been having low self-esteem problems a few months ago. I'm a yo-yo dieter and pretty much tried everything! However, this year I decided to do things differently: I made an effort to become more active in YLF, shared my outfits in an attempt to dress better (for my current body), and worked on minimizing my wardrobe. I must say, that Angie's articles and everyone's encouragement helped in raising my spirits and help hone in on my style!</p> <p>Thanks everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-the-body-i-have-now-a-huge-thank-you/page/2#post-1286350 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 03:50:11 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1286350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, your style is inspiring to me, as is this sentiment. I really need to learn this lesson myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-the-body-i-have-now-a-huge-thank-you/page/2#post-1286272 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 01:50:08 +0000 Caro in Oz 1286272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are beautiful inside &amp; out Shannon </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-the-body-i-have-now-a-huge-thank-you/page/2#post-1286226 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 01:21:45 +0000 Jaime 1286226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon I loved reading this and couldn't agree more. Instead of looking at my body as something to disguise&nbsp;or something that has to be fixed, I see it as something to have fun dressing. A quiet but&nbsp;revolutionary&nbsp;thought! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-the-body-i-have-now-a-huge-thank-you#post-1286220 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 01:17:39 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1286220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, you have style and style comes in all shapes and sizes not just size 2. &nbsp;Kudos for being who you are and loving it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-the-body-i-have-now-a-huge-thank-you#post-1286204 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 01:11:18 +0000 Marlene 1286204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And on that note...here is a little article along the same lines. &nbsp;It hit home in so many ways. &nbsp;Life is too short! &nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/teresa-s-porter/so-youre-feeling-too-fat-to-be-photographed_b_4351360.html?ncid=fcbklnkushpmg00000046"><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/teresa-s-porter/so-youre-feeling-too-fat-to-be-photographed_b_4351360" rel="nofollow">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/....._b_4351360</a>.</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-for-the-body-i-have-now-a-huge-thank-you#post-1286189 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 00:56:18 +0000 Echo 1286189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous, wise words.

Just today, walking to the BACK of the store to the plus sizes I saw several options that would work for me (I'm trying to find a low contrast top for the white wide leg linen trousers)--but absolutely <i>nothing</i> in plus. I had a small moment of despair.
