I've been around 7 months and your list could have been mine. Learning to let go of the stuff that we paid a lot for has been hard but if has really helped me to hone in on what I want. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-year-on-ylf#post-746783 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 21:55:23 +0000 Anonymous 746783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are a quick learner!

But it has been a year!!! Confetti drops from ceiling. Seriously, this has been one of the more enjoyable things I've done on a computer in a long time. And I spend my days on a computer since my company creates software. I've learned countless things from Angie and everyone here. It is such a pleasure to feel like you can get honest feedback on something so important as dressing to feel good about yourself.</p> <p>Thank you all for being such great forum friends and I look forward to learning more. I feel like I should do an essay on all I've learned but I'm afraid my fingers will get tired.</p> <p>I'll list a few:<br /> -I've learned to NOT buy stuff just because it is on sale. And esp. not to buy 3 of the same thing in 3 colors just because it is on sale. lol<br /> -I've learned a great deal more about body shape, fit and flattery.<br /> -I've learned that it's very helpful to look at yourself in a photo to be a better unbiased judge of how you look to others.<br /> - I've learned that pattern mixing is not only fun in fashion, it can make or break an outfit.<br /> - I've learned to restrain myself on impulse buys by reading about other YLFer's experiences with shopping regrets. And from making shopping mistakes myself.<br /> - I've learned to purge things that do not look good on me, in spite of how much money I spent on them.<br /> - I've learned that fashion will continue to evolve for me over time<br /> and maybe most importantly....<br /> - I've learned to dress for my real lifestyle and not an imaginary one!</p> <p>I look forward to more posts, more learning and more fun on YLF! </p>
