I hope this will help with my purging, an area I struggle with.&nbsp; </p> <p>What I find interesting is that this spring, I'm automatically reaching for things that last year would have been stepping ouside my box.&nbsp; All this looking at the fab fashions and advice have really influenced me, even if the weather has stopped me. Today I'm sporting BF's rolled up, with booties... who'd have thunk it!&nbsp; Thanks Angie and you awesome fabbers!</p> <p>Happily waving good bye to the body con boat.&nbsp; Bon voyage! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-team-2014-fashion/page/2#post-1233200 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 14:11:19 +0000 Angie 1233200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, you said it so well. Great insights.&nbsp;</p> <p>And I'm high fiving Caro, Shevia, Joy and Lyn. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-team-2014-fashion/page/2#post-1233128 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 13:00:17 +0000 Janet 1233128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smiling along with you! If Angie is happy, it is a good time for fashion indeed. </p> <p>I'm getting more comfortable with JFE, although there are certain flattery priorities that I'm sure I'll always embrace. I do like the fluid fits because many of them do hint at a body's shape underneath (showing that I do indeed have a waist and not everything is as wide as my widest parts!). The concept of adding structure via various strategies has made all the difference in my adopting more fluid and loose fits, so that has been a huge help, Angie. </p> <p>I do like that this is a time when many styles and silhouettes are embraced. If a particular trendy look is not ideal for an individual because of body type or style preferences, there are other, just as current, looks to choose from! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-team-2014-fashion/page/2#post-1233112 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 12:40:27 +0000 Anonymous 1233112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see so much that I like and want to try this spring and have to practice PPP. However, without your guidance I would be at a loss as to how to fit and wear these looser styles and would end up a big mess.

We are here to help you when you get stuck with fits and proportions.&nbsp;</p> <p>Kerry, trends don't stick around for a season these days. Many stick around for at least 5 years, and some much longer than that. PLUS, this level of diverse silhouette is a watershed change in fashion. Embrace it.&nbsp;Tailored, fluid, oversized fits - all very current. It's the body con ft I would think twice about.&nbsp;&nbsp;That ship may have sailed. It's still being sold in stores, but it's definitely the least current. It takes a while to phase out though. I hope that answers your question.&nbsp; </p> <p>High giving you on everything Sveta and Debbie. xo</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-team-2014-fashion#post-1232728 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 23:12:04 +0000 kerry 1232728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, here's the thing. I only started enjoying fashion again a few years ago when the silhouettes started changing and I could buy things that flattered my extra figure. So, with all of these options right now, fluid and oversized (which I love) and JFE, what should a girl buy? I'd like to rein in the shopping a bit too but am afraid that the items available now, that work on my hard-to-fit body, may not be around next season or next year.</p> <p>What types of things are here to stay and what should we stock up on now? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-team-2014-fashion#post-1232695 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 22:39:19 +0000 An 1232695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I'm excited about what's on offer at the moment too - autumn / winter for us. I'm usually a very classic dresser but I'm getting excited to mix in some more trendy pieces this season. I've been really enjoying your ensemble posts. To be honest I've been a bit confused by the more relaxed and fluid silhouettes for some time and how to make them work for a pear. Your posts are really helping me to see how to make some of these new looks work for me. I'm excited to try a silk sweat top, cropped sweater over longer shirt, slip on sneakers, black with ink. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-team-2014-fashion#post-1232555 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 20:17:00 +0000 Ariadne 1232555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I'm loving SO many things right now! &nbsp;Silky tops, slouchy soft pants, comfy footwear, great colours... dreamy. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-team-2014-fashion#post-1232523 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 19:53:36 +0000 Sveta 1232523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is definitely a very hard season to be in if you don't want to buy much (for personal reasons) but so much is tempting! I love the liberating nature of 2014 fashion and that it is friendly to all body types. Fluid fit is absolutely ingenious because it is comfortable and flattering in the same time - what not to love? And then occasional foray into a tailored look is so much more welcomed when you don't have to do it every day and do it when you feel like it. As&nbsp;it was said - liberating!<br />My only wish to improve this&nbsp;season of abundance&nbsp;would be to have more options for tall gals and also to have more fashionable options in footwear for my hard to find size...but I guess I want too much from life </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-team-2014-fashion#post-1232497 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 19:19:28 +0000 Debbie 1232497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is hard to get on the internet without wanting something right now! Tops are aplenty this season and low heeled shoes finally! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-team-2014-fashion#post-1232488 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 19:13:24 +0000 rae 1232488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm trying not to go purchase happy myself... although it kind of would make sense to stock up since I normally don't like spring fashions at all and SS is my dominant season. Trying to decide how to get the most bang out of a few things... white blazer is one, PJ jeans, citron bag, cat print bag, pointy pumps. Next I think some dressy, floaty tunics/short dresses&nbsp;that can pair with my cropped jackets and skinnies. And hopefully something floral! I'm so picky with florals... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-team-2014-fashion#post-1232476 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 19:04:49 +0000 gryffin 1232476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving spring - but what makes me really happy are all the low heeled booties.&nbsp; It so nice to be able to find fashion and comfort in the same package.&nbsp; Plus love the fluid trend, doesn't the movement in&nbsp; clothing just scream spring!!&nbsp; I'm feeling warm breezes...!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-team-2014-fashion#post-1232472 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 19:00:19 +0000 Angie 1232472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, ahem.

I honestly haven't really been trying that hard, to be frank. Truly earning my crown as Queen Trendy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-team-2014-fashion#post-1232458 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 18:51:53 +0000 Angie 1232458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're sweet, Paula.</p> <p>Shannon, the industry still has a long way to go but you're absolutely&nbsp;right. Retailers are good at making length, fit&nbsp;and size variations available online. At least there is that option. This was not the case 20 years ago.</p> <p>Aida, you are not alone. My clients often feel the same way and go backwards and forwards between two sizes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-team-2014-fashion#post-1232441 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 18:36:15 +0000 NDMom 1232441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As I recently posted, I am definitely having fun and enjoying the varied options for every body. &nbsp;I really love being able to update my modern classic look with some trendier pieces that still fit my style descriptors. &nbsp;BUT, I couldn't do it without YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-team-2014-fashion#post-1232440 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 18:35:50 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1232440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on this Team with you Angie! From my perspective, it's almost like designers have made a conscious effort to make clothing that fits more body types than in the past. Previous years/seasons often had trends that were difficult to look right on those who were under-tall and/or over-weight. This season is so different and as someone who is not the average size, this is just a breath of fresh air! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-team-2014-fashion#post-1232435 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 18:31:27 +0000 Aida 1232435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also have to refrain from buying All The Things! This is the second year in a row that I'm head-over-heels for the spring stuff and not-very-interested in the fall stuff.&nbsp;I love that there are so many different fit options now, but I have to say I am more frustrated than ever in trying items on and trying to figure out fits and sizes. The lack of tailored benchmark items has been rough for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-team-2014-fashion#post-1232379 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 18:00:08 +0000 Angie 1232379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, AGREED, and big high five. And&nbsp;tailored pieces are always in style. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-team-2014-fashion#post-1232372 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 17:57:28 +0000 Lisa 1232372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am also enjoying the wide variety, it's nice that there is something for everyone, instead of having to sit out for a season waiting for styles to change. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/go-team-2014-fashion#post-1232369 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 17:55:26 +0000 Angie 1232369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, yes, <b>YES</b> to all of your comments.&nbsp;</p> <p>Merwoman, your word "inclusive" puts a smile on my face. Good word.&nbsp;</p> <p>Suz, you're a honey.
