May I chime in too?</p> <p>I'm rather peripatetic here these days. So don't know lots of the new and even not-so-new folks as well as I would like. But hope to get to know you all better and enjoy your fab style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/excited-to-see-all-the-newcomers/page/2#post-1058205 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 05:32:27 +0000 Marley 1058205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome Everyone!&nbsp; Looking forward to getting to "know" you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/excited-to-see-all-the-newcomers/page/2#post-1058186 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 04:52:59 +0000 gill 1058186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you. I have benefited so much from this forum merely being an observer. The pictures and the discussions are so informative. All advice and comments are constructive and provide learning for everyone. So I'm really excited to become more participative. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/excited-to-see-all-the-newcomers/page/2#post-1057304 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 06:08:20 +0000 goldenpig 1057304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome everyone, it's nice to see all the new faces! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/excited-to-see-all-the-newcomers/page/2#post-1057265 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 04:37:03 +0000 Debra 1057265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ladies </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/excited-to-see-all-the-newcomers/page/2#post-1057263 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 04:36:19 +0000 diva daughter 1057263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your welcome. The new change in privacy settings was the final push to get me out of the woodwork. I have been amazed time and again by the warmth, thoughtfulness, and generally positive vibes of the forum.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/excited-to-see-all-the-newcomers/page/2#post-1057259 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 04:34:18 +0000 Gracie 1057259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the warm welcome. Alaska girl, you said it was strange to realize that many newbies felt like they knew the members. </p> <p>I'd like to add that aside from learning about style from the forum members, I personally have laughed with you, rejoiced with you, and cried with you – Yes, I'm sure many of us read the off topic posts often as well. I have learned so much about how to handle or approach life situations and challenges, and to form better opinions. You have been touching the hearts and minds of so many and we are the richer for it. </p> <p>Thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/excited-to-see-all-the-newcomers/page/2#post-1057152 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 02:05:43 +0000 Greyscale 1057152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for this thread! I'm glad us newbies aren't too disruptive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/excited-to-see-all-the-newcomers/page/2#post-1057128 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 01:40:41 +0000 Anonymous 1057128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, newbies! &nbsp;We're glad you're here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/excited-to-see-all-the-newcomers/page/2#post-1057111 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 01:20:35 +0000 Grey Rainbow 1057111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you AG and all of you amazing YLF women. I knew you are a very special community, generous and caring and welcoming, and smart! And interesting!. I've seen that over the past 3-4 years I've been following. I've learned a great deal from everyone here. AG, you are one of my style icons!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/excited-to-see-all-the-newcomers/page/2#post-1057087 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 00:52:57 +0000 Tierra 1057087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what a wonderful thread! So welcoming and caring. :-)<br /> I'm another long time lurker, so I feel like I know you all, LOL. Guess it's about time for you to get to know me a bit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/excited-to-see-all-the-newcomers/page/2#post-1057086 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 00:52:31 +0000 Gaylene 1057086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what a surprise to see all the new names popping up in the threads. I've been away for a few weeks so haven't logged in for a while. New members keep the forum lively and exciting, so welcome to everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/excited-to-see-all-the-newcomers/page/2#post-1057079 Sun, 20 Oct 2013 00:47:00 +0000 Sveta 1057079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am away on vacation now so don't post much but just had to comment here! Una, what a thoughtful thread, simply brilliant!<br /> Warm welcome from me too! I remember all too well how I was amazed by the friendship and warmth of this forum and how I wanted to join and be a part of it! This feeling was so strong that it helped me to overcome my usual shyness and start participating. One of my initial worries was that this group of women seems to be so knit togetger that as an outsider I won't fit in. Oh boy, what a silly feeling it was! YLF is the most welcoming community I have ever encountered and in a couple of weeks I felt like I have known these ladies forever!<br /> So welcome and let's have fun with fashion together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/excited-to-see-all-the-newcomers/page/2#post-1056746 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 17:38:23 +0000 PamelaK 1056746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely warm welcome! Quite touching in fact. One of the (many) draws here is the prevalence of&nbsp;thoughtful kindness with a good dash of wit and fun.<br />I take heart having read how several&nbsp;of&nbsp;you who&nbsp;are introverts have taken the plunge&nbsp;to fully participate and now post pictures with enthusiasm.&nbsp;I look forward to joining you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/excited-to-see-all-the-newcomers/page/2#post-1056712 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 17:17:23 +0000 Phatgranny 1056712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your gracious welcome to those of us who have come to adore you from afar!&nbsp; I appreciate your kindness and acceptance and thank you for not considering we lurkers as "weird."&nbsp; Some of us just need to feel comfortable with a group before joining in and you all have made that a most&nbsp;enjoyable learning&nbsp;experience.&nbsp; I, too, appreciate the benefits of posting photos and hope to do so myself -- that is, after all, how I became inspired by each of you!&nbsp; Thanks for that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/excited-to-see-all-the-newcomers/page/2#post-1056705 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 17:13:16 +0000 LACeleste 1056705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seconding what Shemarie said so well. &nbsp;I am grateful to all of you who have shared so much. &nbsp;You are inspiring and helpful and I appreciate how kind and&nbsp;generous you all are. &nbsp;Thank you to a very special group! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/excited-to-see-all-the-newcomers/page/2#post-1056704 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 17:12:32 +0000 Anonymous 1056704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Una for starting this thread.&nbsp; Welcome newbies!&nbsp; I've been a part of this forum for 3 years (longer if I count all my lurking days).&nbsp; I still have trouble remembering so many members so I probably will get a bit lost on who's who. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/excited-to-see-all-the-newcomers/page/2#post-1056697 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 17:08:19 +0000 Isabel 1056697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me too !!! &nbsp;It just wonderful ! &nbsp; Hi everyone &nbsp; &nbsp;: &nbsp;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/excited-to-see-all-the-newcomers/page/2#post-1056694 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 17:06:53 +0000 shemarie 1056694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much, Una, Angie, and everyone for your kind welcome.&nbsp; Even in just a few days, I am now seeing how much more I will learn by participating instead of just reading along.&nbsp; (And, it's waaaaay more fun!)&nbsp; Maybe, just maybe, some style evolution will follow for me too.&nbsp; :-)&nbsp; Also,&nbsp;I totally understand that for veterans it must be very&nbsp;strange to just now "meet" people who have been following you and "seeing" you for some time. Please know though that your openness and your willingness to put yourselves out there and share your own journey has been a great inspiration and <i>truly</i> a blessing to me and I can only hope to give back in kind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/excited-to-see-all-the-newcomers/page/2#post-1056687 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 17:02:54 +0000 Amy 1056687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me too!

I'm anxiously waiting till I can post pictures for you, since I've had 5 years to dither on the subject! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/excited-to-see-all-the-newcomers#post-1056615 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 16:01:10 +0000 Susie 1056615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too probably missed welcoming a few new members so thanks, Una! I look forward to seeing more of the newer members and to getting to know everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/excited-to-see-all-the-newcomers#post-1056606 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 15:53:54 +0000 deb 1056606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been trying to welcome each new member but I am sure I missed some, so to those, welcome. This is the only blog I participate in and I love it. I is like having a whole bunch of pen pals only a lot faster than the old days. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/excited-to-see-all-the-newcomers#post-1056592 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 15:38:49 +0000 Beewee 1056592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You guys are all so kind! I can't wait to start seeing every body's pictures again. I miss the inspiration. All in due time I suppose. As far as posting my own pictures goes...well, I gotta get the courage up first! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/excited-to-see-all-the-newcomers#post-1056556 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 14:53:49 +0000 Peri 1056556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good idea! I'm joining in to say welcome too! I had wondered if the new pictures/privacy thing was the catalyst and it seems like it might be...either to feel more safe with the idea of posting pictures or to want to see the pictures.</p> <p>To the new members, I was scared to post pictures for a long time and I'm still very hesitant, but I do it. I feel like I "know" the members who post pictures better somehow, and I want others to feel the same way about me. How could Isabel and Suz have just now encouraged me on ordering a grey cashmere sweater if they didn't know what I look like?</p> <p>I still don't post them daily and part of that may be age! I just didn't grow up in the "make everything public" era like some younger members. I still worried a lot about who outside the group might have access to my pictures. As if anyone would care!! The new privacy setting has made me feel a lot better. As far as the forum and what happens when you post pictures...nothing but love! </p>
