I am laughing so hard re-reading it all ... I'm sorry I haven't responded to every comment, but I've read them all and you are truly the best and I appreciate everyone who's joined in the fun :)<br /><b><br />StyleFan</b>, I'm the exact same ... it's like the attached meme, except the emotions are Kibbe and seasonal color types, and the picture is me in a navy and white striped top. <b>Mainelady</b>, indeed we shalt all wear clothes lol!</p> <p><b>Gryffin</b>, you always bring the wisdom. I did think I should mention too, in NO way am I judging anyone else for being self-doubtful or going around in circles ... of course we all do it, and the best part about YLF is that we support each other and cheer each other on through it! For me, though, on those particular items it's become a rather tiresome hamster wheel and the only cure is to stop. running. </p> <p>So this is my attempt to stop running ... and to have a laugh at it all. So glad you all could join me.&nbsp; To Tiffany necklaces, and women supporting each other, and getting a grip (and losing it too!)! What a great bunch. xoxoxo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-fun---my-2019-not-list/page/2#post-1990387 Thu, 10 Jan 2019 00:23:08 +0000 Gretchen 1990387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is fantastic! I think you need to add gold stars in your calendar today for giving us all a good laugh.</p> <p>I think we might need (fabulously stylish) graphic t-shirts with <b>"Seriously?

Be YOU!<br /> Dear, Helena, Thou Shalt Not deprive thyself of a lovely Tiffany necklace . They are each so lovely!
