Congratulations on sending your son off to school, as bittersweet as it must be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ill-play-suggest-an-icon#post-1720182 Sun, 28 Aug 2016 02:04:20 +0000 Staysfit 1720182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! These are fabulous icon suggestions! Powerful, talented, women and I admire all of them! I wouldn't have come up with most of these on my own, especially not Jamie Lee, Linda Rodin, or Robin Roberts. Annie Lennox! Wow, that's also a great choice. I can find something I love in each and every one of these. </p> <p>It's hard to say which one speaks to me the most, because they are so different from each other, and I think speak to different qualities I might aspire to achieve.</p> <p>Linda Rodin has a way with accessories that I admire and strive for but rarely achieve. She uses her shoes, glasses and handbags to create some of the most playful and joyful looks. She has a happy energy, and I like that. So does Robin Roberts. She has a positive and feminine vibe that shines through even when she is wearing her sleek sheath dresses. I would be pleased to look even a bit as good as either one of them. I have to say that these two somehow draw me in the most. I love Annie Lennox also. Her look is more androgynous or maybe even masculine. I love her short hair, that she wears straight lines, blazers, men's overcoats, minimal adornment, Joan Allen's casual style probably comes closest to my current daily uniform. She definitely exudes poise, and has the classic elegant style I like. Her color choices resonate with me because they are often light not dark.</p> <p>Nicole Kidman?! Really! I need to think on this one. She is statuesque but I am not sure if I can identify her style. I have seen her wear most anything and everything. Cate Blanchette is another one that I admire. Once again, her personal style is hard for me to pinpoint. I have seen more of her red carpet looks than everyday wear. I would love her evening gowns, but I have nowhere to wear them! I need to look at some pictures and come back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ill-play-suggest-an-icon#post-1720119 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 22:14:15 +0000 El Cee 1720119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have Robin Roberts' amazing tall slim athletic build. She rocks those sheath dresses... And so do you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ill-play-suggest-an-icon#post-1720106 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 21:53:15 +0000 Angie 1720106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Robin Roberts is a brilliant suggestion from El Cee. WOW. YES.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ill-play-suggest-an-icon#post-1720050 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 19:18:34 +0000 catgirl 1720050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, here's a challenge one for you - Annie Lennox.&nbsp; LOVE HER. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ill-play-suggest-an-icon#post-1720033 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 18:54:14 +0000 rachylou 1720033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Linda Rodin and Nicole Kidman are great ideas for shaking it up </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ill-play-suggest-an-icon#post-1720019 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 18:20:39 +0000 Anonymous 1720019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need non-shopping distractions, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ill-play-suggest-an-icon#post-1719995 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 17:37:03 +0000 catgirl 1719995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had a lot of recent changes too and taking up some distracting non-shopping hobbies. Will ponder an icon for you.... Joan Allen seems like a good one, as others suggested! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ill-play-suggest-an-icon#post-1719951 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 14:32:29 +0000 El Cee 1719951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I see your lovely WIW posts, they often remind me of the elegant and refined style of certain anchorwomen. These women all have a strong and commanding presence, yet seem warm and approachable. Their style reflects this. Some examples: Robin Roberts, Savannah Guthrie, Diane Sawyer, Ashleigh Banfield.</p> <p>I also like some of the other icons mentioned, especially Joan Allen and Cate Blanchett.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ill-play-suggest-an-icon#post-1719920 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 12:42:33 +0000 carter 1719920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joan Allen! She can rock a beautiful, feminine dress almost as well as you can. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ill-play-suggest-an-icon#post-1719914 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 12:24:04 +0000 Bijou 1719914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find your style classic and elegant, how does Cate Blanchett or Nicole Kidman sound? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ill-play-suggest-an-icon#post-1719902 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 12:01:08 +0000 Karie 1719902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not good with the icon thing but definitely go paddle boarding! It is SO MUCH FUN, a good workout, and trust me, it's not hard to stand on the board. You can pm me if you'd like more info.</p> <p>I'm sure it's hard to see your youngest son off to college - exciting and rewarding, though, as I'm sure you've done an excellent job raising him.</p> <p>Linda Rodin or maybe Katherine Hepburn for the style icon.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ill-play-suggest-an-icon#post-1719900 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 11:57:48 +0000 Sheila 1719900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Jamie Lee on you - you share a lean feminine power look. </p> <p></p> <p>Staysfit... I hope you are feeling better... it is so hard... you will feel better when he calls and&nbsp; you know he is doing well- which he will !</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ill-play-suggest-an-icon#post-1719892 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 11:29:38 +0000 L'Abeille 1719892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Linda Rodin. You both share a delicacy yet playfulness </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ill-play-suggest-an-icon#post-1719890 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 11:27:44 +0000 Joyce B 1719890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not good with style icons but I want to wish your son much success in the new phase that he is starting and much peace to you, it's very hard on moms but we learn and adapt as there is no better alternative.<br /> Paddle boarding sounds like a great plan, I hope the weather cooperates for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ill-play-suggest-an-icon#post-1719889 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 11:12:04 +0000 Staysfit 1719889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need a big distraction right now. Real big I think, and it can't be shopping after my huge NAS splurge, and a few additional purchases which I will eventually share, I'm sure. I just dropped off my youngest DS at college. I missed him the second we buckled our seat belts for the long drive home. I'm both worried for him and proud of him at the same time. So, a nice fashion challenge is in order, and I have no idea of which fashion icon to pick. I will trust in YLF wisdom. Suggest away!</p> <p>(My other big plan is to try paddle boarding, hopefully the weather will cooperate!) </p>
