I just told them I am taking better care of myself and it makes me feel good, not to mention my husband loves it! &nbsp;PUtting yourself on "the list" is a good thing!&nbsp;<br />Welcome and looking forward to photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/introduction-3#post-1062856 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 14:01:13 +0000 Debora 1062856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Margaret, I confess I'm not very tech savvy. I keep my photos in a folder on my PC and I also use the Stylebook app on my iPad. I created a category there for documenting my WIWs. Other forum members also use Evernote, various phone apps, and spreadsheets for theirs. Here are a few discussions that you may find helpful:</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/documenting-outfits-question" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....s-question</a></p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/advice-on-making-lookbooks" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-lookbooks</a></p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-those-interested-in-cataloguing-and-lookbooks-for-their-wardrobes" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-wardrobes</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/introduction-3#post-1062819 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 13:33:54 +0000 Tanya 1062819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome Margaret!&nbsp; Looking forward to following your style journey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/introduction-3#post-1062812 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 13:22:55 +0000 kstabs 1062812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome! I am another newbie here looking forward to help with my fashion challenges! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/introduction-3#post-1062596 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 03:46:10 +0000 rachylou 1062596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marmee, that sounds just like here, except for the Uggs. That's interesting now that I think about it... </p> <p>This year I'm upping my hipster game: I've chucked my Hunter's and plan on wearing my rubber riding boots. I'm thinking maybe if I can find a little peplum jacket at the upcycle clothing shop... I'd be ecstatic if I could find one in corduroy... Hahahaha. </p> <p>But I'm serious ;&gt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/introduction-3#post-1062579 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 03:25:16 +0000 Deborah 1062579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Margaret a big welcome to you!

Do you keep them in a word doc, or in a photo management program? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/introduction-3#post-1062463 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 01:41:51 +0000 Jaime 1062463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome!

I think it's a great idea to keep a list or photos of your outfits. I keep a file of my WIW's and it makes it so easy to scroll through them when I am looking for something to wear or packing for a trip. Looking forward to getting to know you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/introduction-3#post-1062438 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 01:21:45 +0000 Angie 1062438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And another welcome from me, Margaret. Great to see you posting. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/introduction-3#post-1062418 Fri, 25 Oct 2013 01:09:25 +0000 Marmee 1062418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all!</p> <p>Rachylou, another mom drove the carpool this afternoon, so I didn't get to look for specifics, but in general what I see is&nbsp;a lot of jeans and boots&nbsp;and&nbsp;sneaker inspired shoes. &nbsp;And lots of Uggs and Hunters. &nbsp;On the top sweaters,&nbsp;t-shirts (the nice type), down vests, and when it gets cold (which isn't very cold here) down sleeping bag coats. &nbsp;Also, there is a loI do see a lot of scarves, both for color and warmth. &nbsp;I also see lots and lots of moms in lululemon and REI gear/casual wear.</p> <p>Suz, I was looking at moms at the grocery store this afternoon, and the great majority seemed to be wearing yoga pants or leggings.</p> <p>Kelly, I am looking forward to posting some WIWs. &nbsp;I've been meaning to do this for a while! &nbsp;</p> <p>Aquamarine, that is good advice. &nbsp;Slowly! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/introduction-3#post-1062169 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 20:09:04 +0000 Aquamarine 1062169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome from one newbie to another. We sound similar. I know what you mean about the carpool/activity pickup comments. It's so hard to up your style quotient without other women commenting. If you don't like attention, it can make you squirm. It can help if you start small....maybe one nicer piece at a time. Instead of a fleece (my default), put on a utility jacket or casual blazer over a pair of jeans. Instead of sneakers, a pair of flats or smoking slippers. Or booties if it's chilly. Slowly upgrade what you wear for your casual outings until it's second nature and everyone stops noticing the new things, but maybe do notice you always look pulled-together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/introduction-3#post-1062159 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 19:58:10 +0000 Alassë 1062159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, and nice to have you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/introduction-3#post-1062104 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 18:37:52 +0000 Anonymous 1062104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to YLF Margaret. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/introduction-3#post-1062062 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 17:41:34 +0000 shedev 1062062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, Margaret. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/introduction-3#post-1062031 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 17:10:10 +0000 deb 1062031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/introduction-3#post-1062017 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 16:59:28 +0000 kellygirl 1062017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome!
