I have often commented to my hubby that if I can even be a quarter as stylish as the older ladies here on YLF then I'll consider myself a success.</p> <p>Thank each of you for sharing you heart, your lives, and your fashion with us! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favourite-way-to-start-the-new-year-is-with-this-annual-thread/page/2#post-806920 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 20:24:30 +0000 rachylou 806920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes. Hear hear!</p> <p>Cool with dignity. Hello! You know that's the winning-est. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favourite-way-to-start-the-new-year-is-with-this-annual-thread/page/2#post-806790 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 17:25:51 +0000 Carole 806790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hear, Hear, Angie! As a fellow 50 pluser, I so appreciate the inspiration found here from such amazing and stylish women. Growing older certainly takes its toll, but I can honestly say having YLF has made life so much more fun, adding back so much at a time when things are being taken away. Thank you so much for this supportive and creative community! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favourite-way-to-start-the-new-year-is-with-this-annual-thread#post-806599 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 11:10:53 +0000 ManidipaM 806599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An amazingly well-worded tribute to a tribe of very amazing ladies. Thank you for leading us 'young 'uns' down this fabulous, fashionable path, Angie and all you others!</p> <p>May I add that it's also especially inspiring to a late bloomer like myself (still floundering too often in my mid-30s) to know I have time still to get sorted out and kitted out? You show me, each and every day, on the blog and on the forum, that there is no such thing as too late to have fun with fashion --- beautifully and gracefully! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favourite-way-to-start-the-new-year-is-with-this-annual-thread#post-806585 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 07:54:22 +0000 deb 806585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your kind words. I will be 59 in a few weeks and this has been one of the best decades in my life. Having YLF in my life has enriched it even more. I know that my 60's will be just as great. Thank you for being such a wonderful group to hang out with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favourite-way-to-start-the-new-year-is-with-this-annual-thread#post-806573 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 06:39:13 +0000 jenanded 806573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Isis - thanks for bringing us together Angie and Greg! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favourite-way-to-start-the-new-year-is-with-this-annual-thread#post-806569 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 06:28:34 +0000 CocoLion 806569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Angie and Greg for creating this wonderful community. You have made a place where I don't feel out of place expressing my love of fashion at age 54. I forget about age when I am here -- and I need to thank all of the fab 20-30 and 40-somethings here for being so non-judgemental. There's no "fashion is for us young ones" vibe thrown around here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favourite-way-to-start-the-new-year-is-with-this-annual-thread#post-806541 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 05:13:07 +0000 Debora 806541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the lovely tribute, Angie! It is such an honor to participate on this forum. Not only am I inspired by my fellow over-50 YLF friends, but I am also inspired on a daily basis by forum members of all ages. How wonderful it is to have a place where we can all come together and share in our mutual love of fashion. Thank you so much for making this possible and for being our guiding force. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favourite-way-to-start-the-new-year-is-with-this-annual-thread#post-806532 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 04:56:06 +0000 Isis 806532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a sweet tribute, Angie, thank you! </p> <p>I am 56 this year and so appreciative of ALL the ages and styles here!

As I edge closer to 60 I am having more fun with fashion that I ever had. I am truely inspired by every person here.<br /> I hope this year is a great fashion year! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favourite-way-to-start-the-new-year-is-with-this-annual-thread#post-806509 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 03:17:47 +0000 MNsara 806509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, Angie - you're so sweet </p> <p>Being over 50 and feeling invisible is exactly the reason I found YLF in the first place. And I'm thrilled that, thanks to YLF, I may be even further over 50, but no longer feel invisible - I feel empowered. </p> <p>Angie and YLF have shown me that I'm free to try out new styles that catch my eye, I'm also free to ignore any style that doesn't appeal to me, I'm encouraged to put my own personal interpretation into the mix as well. I'm freed up to make mistakes and learn from them. I'm free to have fun with this whole process :-)</p> <p>What could be better? (Well, maybe a few less aches and pains </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favourite-way-to-start-the-new-year-is-with-this-annual-thread#post-806497 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 02:27:31 +0000 Jaime 806497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with Deborah. As I approach 50, the thought of the fab women on this forum is the best balm against age anxiety ever! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favourite-way-to-start-the-new-year-is-with-this-annual-thread#post-806471 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 01:09:40 +0000 Laura 806471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautifully written, Angie - and the sentiment is so, so needed in this world. I had my time of being 20, 25, 30 and 35. Now I'm late 40s, and since life ain't over til it's over, I'm going to dress and act accordingly. And I admire everyone here with the same spunk, whatever their age! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favourite-way-to-start-the-new-year-is-with-this-annual-thread#post-806393 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 23:25:35 +0000 Deborah 806393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, so well said! I too am in awe of the beautiful and stylish 50 and overs in this community. As someone who is now edging closer to 50 you have really helped to alleviate the occasional anxiety that hits as I realise how close this milestone is... you have absolutely proven that with age comes true style, individuality, sophistication along with the freedom to just be who you are stylistically:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favourite-way-to-start-the-new-year-is-with-this-annual-thread#post-806379 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 23:05:41 +0000 Sheila 806379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Angie, for your tribute. As someone who is now very close to 70, I just love seeing all the stylish ladies over 50 who rock the YLF community. Remember this song: "I am woman, hear me roar..." No, you're probably too young; but it was a powerful anthem for many of us who needed encouragement to break the molds wherein we were raised. Happy New Year, everyone! Three cheers to ALL of us!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favourite-way-to-start-the-new-year-is-with-this-annual-thread#post-806358 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 21:54:16 +0000 Caro in Oz 806358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>“There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.” Attributed to Sophia Loren</p> <p>As one who looks on 50 as young I am so grateful to have found YLF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favourite-way-to-start-the-new-year-is-with-this-annual-thread#post-806330 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 21:20:03 +0000 Suz 806330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for making this a fun and fabulous place to face fifty and beyond!!

Without YLF, this Over 65er would be F.R.U.M.P.Y. I'm so inspired by your beautiful client Karen and other over 50s on the Forum as well as your own timeless outfit posts. Thank you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favourite-way-to-start-the-new-year-is-with-this-annual-thread#post-806309 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 20:26:05 +0000 Kyle 806309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm happy that this 52-year-old has a place to learn, experiment, grow and be comfortable with an ongoing love of fashion. It feels good to be included and even celebrated. Everyone is celebrated at YLF, and that's a big part of the magic here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favourite-way-to-start-the-new-year-is-with-this-annual-thread#post-806307 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 20:19:20 +0000 Anonymous 806307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, first and foremost, I am friggin' shocked at the actual ages of some of you.
