Hilarious! </p> <p>“The dresser” prefers “the wedge”, and who will you be Nicole? </p> <p>Ps. of course you are part of the family Dani </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-my-boring-blazers-interesting/page/2#post-9930 Wed, 04 Jun 2008 02:09:17 +0000 Maya 9930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please hijack away. As it is my jacket ordeal is fairly resolved. For now. This is much more entertaining anyway! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-my-boring-blazers-interesting/page/2#post-9922 Wed, 04 Jun 2008 02:05:27 +0000 Tanya 9922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you ladies have to pick one, I can't have two names! :)</p> <p>Btw Maya, I apologize for hijacking your thread about your blazers.</p> <p>Edit: Thanks Maya for having a prefference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-my-boring-blazers-interesting/page/2#post-9919 Wed, 04 Jun 2008 02:04:02 +0000 Maya 9919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, you need your own show on Comedy Central. Maybe a daytime show, when all the drunk college boys are sleeping or in class...or both.</p> <p> lol@ "the wedge". I prefer that. "The wrap" sounds like something I'd see on a lunch menu at a fast food chain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-my-boring-blazers-interesting/page/2#post-9916 Wed, 04 Jun 2008 02:02:12 +0000 Nicole 9916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yeah, I like the Wedge and The Wrap... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-my-boring-blazers-interesting/page/2#post-9912 Wed, 04 Jun 2008 02:00:00 +0000 Ana 9912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL!! I love my mafia name.</p> <p>-"The Crew"</p> <p>Tanya, "The Wedge" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-my-boring-blazers-interesting/page/2#post-9910 Wed, 04 Jun 2008 01:58:04 +0000 Tanya 9910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>He he nice idea Nicole. Would I be the "the wrap" ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-my-boring-blazers-interesting/page/2#post-9906 Wed, 04 Jun 2008 01:56:06 +0000 Nicole 9906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya!!! Some of your photos show your lips and one more than one occasion, I wished I had lips like that. My lips are crooked and thin--you have awesome lips.</p> <p>Dani--of course you're one of "the family". I think we should give ourselves Mafia family names though instead of aunt and sister. You know...like Angie "the dresser", Maya "the kid", Ana "the Crew"...Dani you can be "the dixie". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-my-boring-blazers-interesting/page/2#post-9900 Wed, 04 Jun 2008 01:48:55 +0000 Tanya 9900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is indeed a fun site Ana! And thanks for the compliments Maya and Ana! I actually like my lips now, tough I was teased about them as well as my nose when I was a child.</p> <p>But my feelings about my nose haven't changed, tough I am not as sensitive about it as I used to be. But it was tough being 13 and having for nicknames names such as "rhino", "snout" etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-my-boring-blazers-interesting/page/2#post-9858 Wed, 04 Jun 2008 00:20:10 +0000 Ana 9858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what a compliment, thanks you guys! :D</p> <p>Just for the record, even I got teased about my nose. I have a ski jump nose so kids used to tease me about how it sticks up--I don't think any of us escaped childhood unscathed. </p> <p>And Tanya, I LOVE your lips. Mine are thin and my sister has lips like yours and I always wished mine were fuller like hers. </p> <p>Oh, and above I posted that I think it would be really interesting to see if astrological sign correlated with style preferences. This is a fun site about star sign compatibility. It's not 100% accurate, but it's fun nonetheless:</p> <p><a href="http://love.astrology.com/fcompat.html" rel="nofollow">http://love.astrology.com/fcompat.html</a></p> <p>I hope your job search starts going better, Maya. But I'm happy to see you posting on here too--you always have interesting and valuable posts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-my-boring-blazers-interesting/page/2#post-9840 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 23:08:41 +0000 Maya 9840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Full lips are wonderful Tanya! I also have a rather large nose, so I do understand your pain. I've gotten over it, but did tolerate a lot of poking for it growing up. </p> <p>I don't know about the jackets yet. I don't have most of the recommended layering pieces for it. The white shirt is too short and I don't have many prints or ruffles. It might have to wait for a long time. I'm not wearing them now anyway since it's too hot out. But who knows. Maybe after I rummage through my closet I'll find something. I think I can wear my orange top and red/white H&#38;M top with the darker jacket, but the lighter one is more difficult. Brooches will have to wait. This job thing isn't going so well, so I can't even afford to go out for a cup of tea...hence spending so much time here...</p> <p>My birthday was March 4. I'm a Pisces. I imagine the Pisces wardrobe as being very frilly, feminine, and romantic, which mine certainly is not...but Pisceans are also creative and imaginative, so maybe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-my-boring-blazers-interesting/page/2#post-9837 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 23:01:14 +0000 Dani 9837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, October 12 is a great date! It's my wedding anniversary! Although it doesn't make me part of the family, just thought I'd chime in I'm happy just to be part of the community Personally, I'm an Aries and find I'm pretty typical in a lot of ways.</p> <p>I liked the suggestions for Maya's jackets and would love to see her attempts at updating her "boring" blazers (which for the record are exactly what I've been looking for without any success here!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-my-boring-blazers-interesting/page/2#post-9834 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 22:47:49 +0000 Tanya 9834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>About that Libra description Maya, I think it's very accurate for Ana, but not for me. I do not have any dimples and my facial features are anything but delicate. I have a very prominent nose that I seriously dislike and very full lips as well. But thanks for the compliment for the figure.</p> <p>How interesting that Greg has the same birthday Angie! Thanks for already considering me the part of the family *smiling* </p> <p>Hmm, I always had friends much older than me even when very young ( I was a very serious child).</p> <p>I am curious as well about birthdays and jackets on Maya! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-my-boring-blazers-interesting/page/2#post-9823 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 21:55:16 +0000 Angie 9823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely, Maya. My better half's birthday is on 12th October. You share the same birthday as Greg graceful Tanya! (and you’re already part of the family, middle sis). So when are you Maya &#38; Nicole? </p> <p>I’ve found that later on in Iife, having friends that are 10-15 years your senior is not uncommon. When are we going to see these jackets and some combos on that hot bod of yours, Maya? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-my-boring-blazers-interesting/page/2#post-9817 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 21:25:22 +0000 Maya 9817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libra_%28astrology%29" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libra_%28astrology%29</a></p> <p>I think that description suits Tanya and Ana perfectly, 'specially this paragraph:</p> <p>Many astrologers believe that each of the twelve signs has identifiable physical traits. Some of them consider that physically, individuals born under the sign of Libra supposedly tend to have a graceful figure, a charming appearance, refined features, a high forehead, and a 'trademark' dimple. They are considered very beautiful and use their good looks well.</p> <p>I don't know about all of it, but the graceful figure seems to be true! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-my-boring-blazers-interesting/page/2#post-9815 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 21:00:45 +0000 Tanya 9815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL Nicole! You are indeed funny! I believe Angie has already crowned you with the " funniest on YLF" title, but if not, she should certainly do it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-my-boring-blazers-interesting/page/2#post-9805 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 20:39:37 +0000 Nicole 9805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Leave it to our PhD candidate to come up with a study! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-my-boring-blazers-interesting/page/2#post-9804 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 20:36:50 +0000 Tanya 9804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, could you repost your last post? It's the same old problem again, the first post on the second page is not visible </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-my-boring-blazers-interesting/page/2#post-9802 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 20:32:04 +0000 Ana 9802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, maybe I just wondered or something. I must have at one point thought, "She sounds like a Libra." </p> <p>Tanya, that would be interesting! We could at least see if there is a correlation (which as we all know is not causation). We'd have to collect other things, like lifestyle, access to specific stores, philosophies on life, etc. to get a truly accurate idea of whether star sign had anything to do with personal style, but it would be a lot of fun to see what people's signs were and how they dress and if they have similarities or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-my-boring-blazers-interesting#post-9800 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 20:20:53 +0000 Tanya 9800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think I have Ana, but I could be wrong. Hmm, it might be interesting to do a correlation study between YLF member's horoscope signs and their preferred dressing style </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-my-boring-blazers-interesting#post-9796 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 20:11:26 +0000 Ana 9796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray, another Libra! For some reason I thought I already knew that--have you mentioned that before? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-my-boring-blazers-interesting#post-9795 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 20:08:50 +0000 Tanya 9795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Maya! I am glad I am welcome :)</p> <p>Ana, my birthday is October 12th! We're pretty close I guess </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-my-boring-blazers-interesting#post-9793 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 20:04:22 +0000 Ana 9793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, when is your birthday? Mine is October 18th!</p> <p>By the way, Maya, I think the equestrian suggestion is my favorite (I thought that when I saw the jackets as well), and the idea of a funky brooch is awesome. My favorite is the bright pink flower. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-my-boring-blazers-interesting#post-9788 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 19:31:16 +0000 Maya 9788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Was there any doubt Tanya? I hope I get some fab hand-me-downs from you and Angie! I think both of you are about my size...maybe a bit smaller...though a lot taller and blonder.</p> <p>Angie, it IS uncommon at my age..hence being an old lady. Most people my age are a bunch of whippersnappers and hooligans. That's why most of my friends are older than me, though not by much anymore. The gap is slowly closing.</p> <p>This is a weird virtual family. I'm not sure how I have an aunt and a sister who are about the same age, but I guess you can do that on the internet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-my-boring-blazers-interesting#post-9778 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 17:10:14 +0000 Tanya 9778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I want to join the big happy family too! Since I'm thirty ( will be 31 in October)<br /> I'm stuck in the middle I guess. Can I be the older sisiter? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-my-boring-blazers-interesting#post-9742 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 15:19:11 +0000 Angie 9742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Maya. What an enchanting and heartfelt thing to say. *big swallow*. You are quite the role model yourself. You are wise, perceptive and unaffected which is uncommon at your age. You are one of the youngest members on this forum and make a profound contribution. </p> <p>I think Nicole is 39 and I turn 38 in about a month, so we are a similar age. If I’m not mistaken your birthday was in March right, Maya? I’m on 9th July. </p>
