Your outfits are just beautiful, and I love that they feel extra special to you. I can see why the blue dress is a favorite; even&nbsp; in the photo, I can detect some of the luxury of the fabric. And with your furry jacket, it is so glamorous. The pleated skirt is another standout piece to me--so unusual and beautiful on you. The outdoors pic with your DS and Margot is adorable--I really like the cool skirt design and your white boots. Hugs to you. <br /></div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-up-to-cheer-up/page/2#post-2131133 Thu, 02 Jul 2020 14:51:21 +0000 Bijou 2131133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Style Fan, I know you have experienced this with beautiful Sophie.

It is lovely at how so much personality can be packed into one cute furry body. She was a happy and joyful presence in our house and so dressing in a happy and joyful way oddly made sense to me.</p> <p>Minaminu, I have a beautiful photo of my dog as a puppy leaping onto my Father. He is laughing at how excitable she was, so it is nice to know that they are together.</p> <p>Robin, that is one thing I love about YLF is how we all dress differently. I must say that I always feel cheered by a beautiful blue sky. We had rain today, but I was lucky to be able to get a dog walk in during one of the sunny patches. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-up-to-cheer-up#post-2130429 Mon, 29 Jun 2020 13:00:44 +0000 RobinF 2130429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, dressing nicely can make a big difference in how I feel.

The house just seems so empty after a loss doesn't it Or we'll think we see them out of the corner of our eye? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-up-to-cheer-up#post-2130398 Mon, 29 Jun 2020 09:59:01 +0000 Bijou 2130398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni, I love that my rainbow skirt is a favourite for you. Yes, a relaxing break will be good as we get to the end of another school term. I was lucky that Covid working from home meant I spent lots of time with Bijou before her stroke.</p> <p>Mainlady, I really love the owl bag too. It is a similar colour scheme to a Westie. My best friend gave me some cute doggie earrings, so I even have some Bijou bling. It is nice to think she is a little doggie angel, happy with my previous Westies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-up-to-cheer-up#post-2130396 Mon, 29 Jun 2020 09:38:58 +0000 Mainelady 2130396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so very sorry for your losses and your sadness. With people and with pets, when their halos are ready, our hearts are not. Fresh air, exercise, time to reflect and cherish memories are so important to take care of yourself. You really do look beautiful and dressing to find comfort and joy is a wonderful plan. The owl bag always prompts a smile and your red shawl......oh so cozy and fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-up-to-cheer-up#post-2130395 Mon, 29 Jun 2020 09:02:22 +0000 Jenni NZ 2130395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been thinking of you too and your sad loss just over a week ago. Out walking with your family and Margot on a sunny day helps appreciate the ongoing good things. It’s hard that it’s the same time of year as your Dad went.<br /> Pic 1 is great and there is my favourite skirt on you in pic 5.<br /> It’s good you are taking a short break. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-up-to-cheer-up#post-2130393 Mon, 29 Jun 2020 08:45:38 +0000 Bijou 2130393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia, it is sad to lose my beloved pet, but it does strike home the message to enjoy my loved ones here in the present, both people and pets.</p> <p>Nuancedream, thank you. YLF has really helped me develop a well functioning wardrobe and so getting dressed is one of the easier and happy parts of my day.</p> <p>Suz, I am taking some time out of work next week to refresh and spend time with the family.</p> <p>Slimcat, I have been keeping that skirt for more special occasions, but now think I just need to wear and enjoy it. Skirts like this are good for me as I can wear then all year. My winters are very mild.</p> <p>Kelly, the rainbow skirt is definitely one of the items in my wardrobe that makes me feel special when I wear it.</p> <p>Joy, thank you for your message. Bijou was a much loved little dog. We all adored her, which just seems to bring out the absolute best in both animals and people.</p> <p>Mirjana, yes dressing up does help. Bijou lived a happy life, so whilst we are sad, we can also celebrate the joy that she brought our family.</p> <p>Rachy, I like the fuzzy coats too. I was on a Zoom meeting, wearing the pink fuzzy coat and a colleague asked if I was wearing a dressing gown!</p> <p>Sal, I am well and we are coping in our own ways. Margot likes to sleep with Bijou’s favourite stuffed toy. I hope you find your fuzzy jacket.</p> <p>Liesbeth, thank you. Just feeling put together did help me feel ready to face the day.</p> <p>Brooklyn, it does feel like a bit of a rough patch. Hopefully happier days are ahead. I do love how the fabric of this skirt is ombre. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-up-to-cheer-up#post-2130390 Mon, 29 Jun 2020 08:18:08 +0000 Brooklyn 2130390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m sorry you are going through a rough time. I’m glad you can eke out some joy by wearing your favourite things.</p> <p>The rainbow skirt outfit is my favourite. Almost ombré. Divine. And I love how you’ve pattern mixed it with the bag. But you look smashing in all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-up-to-cheer-up#post-2130387 Mon, 29 Jun 2020 07:34:41 +0000 Liesbeth 2130387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so sorry about the loss of your dog, and in an already difficult time.

Your dresses look lovely on you- I think the turquoise is my favourite!! And I always keep a vague eye out for a similar faux fur. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-up-to-cheer-up#post-2130380 Mon, 29 Jun 2020 06:09:09 +0000 rachylou 2130380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that is so hard.

Good idea Bijou - dressing. I always do the same to spark joy for me. You look wonderful in all outfits as usual, elegant and chic as usual. My favorite dress is #3, and the next is #4, very pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressing-up-to-cheer-up#post-2130378 Mon, 29 Jun 2020 05:15:21 +0000 Anonymous 2130378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What huge loss of dear Bijou !
