Lovely!&nbsp;</p> <p>This whole thread has made me smile. I have twinned so many times with so many Fabbers and been inspired by so many more, I don't even think I could list them all...but if I get a bit of time this evening, I will give it a try, because I definitely owe a huge debt to you all. I love the way <b>Staysfit </b>put it -- even if I haven't copied someone, I have usually learned something from her and adapted the practice to my own closet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/items-that-remind-me-of-forum-members-in-my-wardrobe/page/2#post-2190253 Tue, 27 Apr 2021 08:43:14 +0000 Bijou 2190253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn67 - yes, we do tend to take our photos in the same place and stand in a similar way! Angie gets first prize for the most energetic and fun poses.&nbsp;</p> <p>Zaeobi - It is so lovely having you on the forum to provide inspiration to us all. I have my wardrobe in Finds and it is so very helpful to keep track of what I have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/items-that-remind-me-of-forum-members-in-my-wardrobe/page/2#post-2190216 Tue, 27 Apr 2021 04:10:10 +0000 Zaeobi 2190216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww this is such a lovely thread! Even though I'm rather physically removed from most of you on this forum, you have all subconsciously inspired my style in so many ways: </p> <p>I feel like <b>@Brooklyn</b> &amp; <b>@Suntiger</b> are the stylish Deep Autumn Twins (or DA, as @Suntiger calls it) that show me that it's ok to rely on dark neutrals that aren't black - even in the summer ;)</p> <p><b>@Bijou</b>, you &amp; <b>@Katerina</b> consistently inspire me with your elegant style - my newly thrifted collection of silk pussybow blouses is in part due to your wonderful outfits made from such blouses (especially @Katerina's pairings with brooches!) It's a pity that the HK protests &amp; then COVID have got in the way of me wearing them as regularly these days, but it still makes me smile to see them hanging in a rainbow when I open up my closet </p> <p><b>@Jenni NZ</b> &amp; <b>@FashIntern</b> you both have taught me to be more fearless with fashion too - &amp; that fun prints can be worn at any age! I've picked up a few more patterned scarves &amp; tops these days with you both in mind too </p> <p>And <b>@Deborah</b> your stunning use of black &amp; architectural draping has inspired me to separate out my blacks into a more 'intentional' capsule wardrobe too - I'm no longer worried that volume &amp; draping will somehow look 'wrong' on my short &amp; curvy body. Representation really does matter! </p> <p>Despite following the blog for even longer, I distinctly remember first posting on this forum back in 2013, because I was panicking about losing my suitcase en route to moving to Brazil (buying clothes in a completely new country in a new language was quite the sartorial challenge)! I've definitely come a long way since then (I vaguely remember asking the forum where to find a cropped grey blazer lol) but I still have a ways to go (I'm planning to photograph my Finds this summer, so I can document my evolution with you all more readily). So here's to hoping we continue to inspire one another in the future too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/items-that-remind-me-of-forum-members-in-my-wardrobe/page/2#post-2189992 Mon, 26 Apr 2021 09:28:51 +0000 lyn67 2189992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, yess! My list is too long, but what about me&nbsp; adding I can recognize your threads all by only looking at your cover picties posted on the forum even if&nbsp; not wearing my reading specs! I can identify your posture, style and backgrounds first, faces are&nbsp; the last I can make out,&nbsp; obviously, haha:-)).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/items-that-remind-me-of-forum-members-in-my-wardrobe/page/2#post-2189976 Mon, 26 Apr 2021 06:37:49 +0000 Bijou 2189976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Staysfit - thankyou for your beautiful post, your items are lovely and so true to your style - as well as the person that inspired them.</p> <p>Roxanna - it was a fun exercise, although to be honest, I am sure I left out many people and items - these were just my more recent additions.</p> <p>Janet - whenever I wear saturated blues I always think of you and Suz. When I wear snazzy boots, I think of JenniNZ!</p> <p>Angie - I cannot imagine ever going back to team black footwear and handbags - I am sure that was just a phase I went through in the 90's.</p> <p>Irina - white footwear looks so great on you too.</p> <p>Jenna - I hope you love your Bao Bao - I certainly get lots of use from mine. One of the things I love most about them is how lightweight they are. My days of lugging around large heavy bags are definitely numbered.</p> <p>Sal - I know that jewellery chain and I always think of my lovely departed doggie whenever I see Bijoux store. I was lucky to be able to share her with you all on the forum (and Miss Margot too).</p> <p>Anna - so glad that this thread made you smile. As a front line health worker I am sure that last year has been horrendous. Thank you for everything you do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/items-that-remind-me-of-forum-members-in-my-wardrobe/page/2#post-2189882 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 20:51:37 +0000 annagybe 2189882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an awesome post and thread.<br />Given the current world situation, it’s nice to think about how we’re still all connected, via fashion </p> <p>ETA, it made me smile, which is good</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/items-that-remind-me-of-forum-members-in-my-wardrobe/page/2#post-2189881 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 20:37:22 +0000 Sal 2189881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful uplifting thread! I know exactly what you mean. And your new turquoise dress is perfect!</p> <p>I saw a jewelry shop yesterday called Bijoux and a Furla store and thought of yourself and Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/items-that-remind-me-of-forum-members-in-my-wardrobe/page/2#post-2189830 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 18:04:20 +0000 Anonymous 2189830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been influenced too. I fell in love with (&amp; bought) the Bao Bao bag thanks to you!<br /> There are a great many people on here I share a slice of style with &amp; I definitely look at some of my items (or see things online) and get reminded of folks here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/items-that-remind-me-of-forum-members-in-my-wardrobe/page/2#post-2189785 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 15:56:44 +0000 Irina 2189785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have now 2 pairs of Converse and looking for more - thanks, Angie &amp; RunCarla. Bought a first pair of white sneakers last year, also thanks to Angie’s influence. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/items-that-remind-me-of-forum-members-in-my-wardrobe/page/2#post-2189774 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 15:14:51 +0000 Angie 2189774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ALL for being gracious and kind on this thread. It's put a BIG smile on my face. The community's camaraderie and engagement shines through is a good way :)</p> <p>I am reminded <i>many</i> times a day of items and looks that are signature to your styles!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Bijou,</b> welcome to Team White &amp; Blush Footwear!&nbsp;<b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/items-that-remind-me-of-forum-members-in-my-wardrobe#post-2189753 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 14:16:50 +0000 Janet 2189753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness, what a great tribute. I can definitely attest that many items in my closet either are copycats or inspired by others here, or make me think of forum members. Too many to recount, but I still have the sarong shorts and blue camo shorts that Suz and I twinned many years ago. Angie’s Paige denim jacket. Carla’s floral backpack. Christina’s and Suz’s silver backpack. Any Jenny Bird jewelry reminds me of LisaP. And when I wear a dark tank top with a moody dark floral midi or maxi skirt, I can’t help but think of Brooklyn. Emerald green makes me think of Kari. And I laugh a little to myself when I wear my white sneakers, thinking of Angie’s delight at my embracing a style I’d written off. There are lots more! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/items-that-remind-me-of-forum-members-in-my-wardrobe#post-2189749 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 13:56:36 +0000 Roxanna 2189749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This whole thread just brought a huge smile to my face thank you YLF for all the fond memories! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/items-that-remind-me-of-forum-members-in-my-wardrobe#post-2189741 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 12:18:52 +0000 Staysfit 2189741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is lovely! Bijou, this is the most thoughtful and warm hearted post ever. &nbsp;Thanks for your kindness.</p> <p>I have been inspired in various ways by too many Fabbers to identify everyone, and do not want anyone to feel excluded, but there are some that stand out, probably because they are more recent, or items I still own and wear frequently. &nbsp; Or, I have tried to imitate some admired aspect of their style. &nbsp;</p> <p>I have been inspired by <b>Angie</b> many times and duplicated her skirt, Rag &amp; Bone vest, several coats, sneakers, undies, and I have purchased handbags, suits, and dresses she recommended. &nbsp;<b>Runcarla,</b> thanks for the hair inspiration and the mask making ideas. Also, <b>Runcarla and Sal</b> have supplied me with excellent and practical ways to think about and organize my wardrobe. &nbsp;<b>Maine Lady</b> inspired me to finally look for a trench, and even though we ended up with different versions, I think she found the right one for her, and I found two that worked well for me. &nbsp;Also, like me, Maine Lady routinely uses jewelry or other items with sentimental value, and it has been nice to see how she incorporates them into her outfits, &nbsp; Many years ago,&nbsp;<b>Suz</b> suggested two books to help kick start my thinking about personal style and I periodically return to them to refresh my memory before making purchases. &nbsp;<b>Jenn, Jenni NZ, and Style Fan</b> have inspired me to think long and hard before purchasing new items, and to move towards more sustainable, environmentally friendly purchasing practices. <b>&nbsp;Shevia and Roxanna</b> have a true knack for resale which has me inspired to try this as well. I wish I could sew clothing like<b> Firecracker!</b> &nbsp;Her creations are amazing. &nbsp;There are many times that either <b>Tanya or UmLilla</b> purchase items similar to or identical to something I have also purchased. Sometimes I draw inspiration from them, but I also think we may independently share similar senses of style. I admire<b>&nbsp;Katerina, Bijou, Janet and Brooklyn’s</b> ability to use accessories, color and detail to best flatter their features. I admire how <b>Jaileen, KKards, Unfrumped, and Helena </b>manage to incorporate modern pieces into their wardrobes and maintain their unique style integrity. <b>LisaP </b>has helped me feel comfortable about editing items from my wardrobe.&nbsp;<b>&nbsp;Rachy </b>has made me smile more than anyone else here on the forum and isn’t a smile the best fashion accessory?! &nbsp; ( She also inspired me to clean out my sock drawer.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/items-that-remind-me-of-forum-members-in-my-wardrobe#post-2189720 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 10:11:45 +0000 Jenni NZ 2189720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such a lovely post! I think the main item I have bought that was Fabber inspired was my puffer jacket (the first one of my life), inspired by Rachylou’s love for them! And I’ve worn it 20 times since 2019 when I bought it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/items-that-remind-me-of-forum-members-in-my-wardrobe#post-2189688 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 04:29:59 +0000 Bijou 2189688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn - yes there are some signature items in the mix. I must say, I love my rust coloured flats, they are a great neural colour that works well in my wardrobe for summer and winter.</p> <p>Slim Cat - I am trying very hard to limit my 'dressy' purchases, but I just could not resist that dress and it replaces a dress that I have almost worn out in the same colour - which will now be demoted to a 'at home' dress.</p> <p>Smittie - so glad you enjoy your gingham dress.</p> <p>Xtabay - it was lovely of Brooklyn to let me know about this dress.</p> <p>LisaP - I am looking forward to hearing what is on your YLF list!</p> <p>Janet - thank you for letting me know about the Westie shirt. I keep checking out Radley for Westie items too after you let me know about that gorgeous bag - which I was too slow to pounce on. However, I have the most perfect purse with a leaping westie on it - it makes me smile and I use it every day.</p> <p>Dana - yes the dress does have a sort of 40's or 50's retro feel to it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Jonesy and Kkards - yes - I 100% agree, YLF is a great and special community. It is lovely that some Forum members have had the opportunity to meet. I have met up for lunch with Anne who is just as lovely in person.</p> <p>Minaminu - thank you for being a style inspiration too.</p> <p>Angie - (slaps forehead) - how could I forget the white boots! That is all inspired by you and now so much a part of my signature style - I am always checking out white and blush footwear. Probably 50% of my wardrobe (especially embracing of colour) could be attributed to you and other forum members.</p> <p>Style Fan - Joy suggested a denim shirt, but when I saw how lovely your Guess denim shirt was, that sort of sealed the deal - I knew it would be fab.</p> <p>Rachy - whilst I have always loved puffy sleeves and puffer jackets, I do think of you when wearing them.</p> <p>DonnaF - thank you - you are too kind.</p> <p>Shevia - yes it is fun when shopping and thinking "I could imagine xx looking great in that" - which shows how so many forum members have a unique and signature style.</p> <p>Brooklyn - your pieces are gorgeous and I need to be on the lookout for an ombre teal leather jacket.</p> <p>Bridgie - well that is high praise indeed to be compared to Brooklyn!&nbsp;</p> <p>.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/items-that-remind-me-of-forum-members-in-my-wardrobe#post-2189686 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 04:01:06 +0000 bridgie 2189686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bijou, I love your post.&nbsp; I have thought before that, somehow to me there is a similarity in yours and Brooklyn's style. I have never tried to define exactly what it is, but it is certainly excellent taste.<br />It's nice others are commenting on YLF members that have influenced them.&nbsp; I believe I have at least two items influenced by other members but will have to look into it and maybe post it if I can pull it together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/items-that-remind-me-of-forum-members-in-my-wardrobe#post-2189681 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 02:44:25 +0000 Brooklyn 2189681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, you got the dress! You look truly amazing in it! I am pleased and honoured that it worked out for you. </p> <p>I have lots of items that when I wear them remind me of similar styles worn by forum members. Sometimes they are the same item. I have a Bijou floral scarf, a Jenn shibori scarf, a Janet black jacket, a Gryffin coat, Sally sandals, a Joy floral tee, a suntiger dress, Diana boots and a Runcarla/Janet floral backpack. </p> <p>I also find when I go shopping that I’m always thinking things like: those are Angie boots, or that’s a Suz top etc. it would be great to all go shopping together.</p> <p>And, for the record, if anyone finds an ombré teal leather jacket in their shopping travels, it’s mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/items-that-remind-me-of-forum-members-in-my-wardrobe#post-2189663 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 01:20:53 +0000 Jaime 2189663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this!
