And really workable for all atmospheres. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/introduction-8#post-1594801 Sat, 19 Dec 2015 21:38:08 +0000 unfrumped 1594801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome!<br />Would love to see some of your outfit creations and hear more about retirement wardrobe style choices. <br />One thing I was thinking is that I have a lot invested in dryclean-only fabrics, though also some hand-wash. If in the future I were to shift to a more casual lifestyle (and perhaps being around children and dogs more!) I would need more washable fabrics, though delicate wash/hand wash/dry flat&nbsp;would be okay to get the fabrications I like. Or I guess I should say, fabrics that aren't <u>ruined</u> by a bit of dirt or drool.<br />I think this would work out okay, as I could wear more jeans, and washable ponte-type pants, and could still wear woolen sweaters that can be washed on delicate. Knit blazers; and, I'm also a fan of military jackets, safari and utility types as well, and these often come in sturdy fabrics.<br />Has this been an issue for you in any wardrobe transitions? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/introduction-8#post-1594693 Sat, 19 Dec 2015 14:10:26 +0000 Suz 1594693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, Carol, body type twin!

Isn't YLF just an amazing community? It's an excellent resource for anyone looking for inspiration as well as those looking for a little styling help. Everyone is extremely honest &amp; encouraging and you'll get plenty of viewpoints whenever you want to try something new. Enjoy your time on the forum! And yes, Angie is the very best...and YLF will always remain my favourite fashion blog </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/introduction-8#post-1594339 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 05:48:05 +0000 Carol B 1594339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone,<br />This is the first time I've ever posted on a blog. &nbsp;I must say that I feel a bit guilty profiting from all the information that's been available on YLF over the past 6 years and at the same time never participating.</p> <p>I've used many of Angie's suggestions about style and clothing finds to refine my own style. As a result of her advice and the conversations on the forum, I've become more discerning about what I buy. This has resulted in a more cohesive wardrobe and style with very few unworn pieces and wasted expenditures.</p> <p>It's a bit strange that even though I'm retired and have gray hair, I prefer this style blog to all the others. There are many blogs for "older women" but they just don't speak to me. My body type is very much like Angie"s or perhaps Suz's and therefore allows me to comfortably wear clothes form Banana Republic, J Crew, Gap, and BCBG generation. My style concern is how to look sophisticated while wearing youthful clothes. I like simple lines, soft structure, texture, military jackets, blues, grays, purples and whites with an occasional black item thrown into the mix. Plaids have a special place in my wardrobe.</p> <p>Thanks to everyone for sharing so much about yourselves and your style concerns. I enjoy all the forum discussions. &nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </p>
