I like that they're flocked so tops don't fall off, and slim line so they don't take a lot of space. I kinda wish they were a bit more rigid; I wouldn't use them for a heavy coat or anything. Maybe the original huggable hangers or whatever they are are a slightly sturdier build? I remember seeing them on QVC back in the day but never actually bought any. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-rambling-update#post-691934 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 14:46:45 +0000 anne 691934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the update Laura! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-rambling-update#post-691892 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 13:59:36 +0000 Kristin L 691892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Goodness you've been busy! Good luck with your books!</p> <p>How have to liked the hangers you got from Bed, Bath and Beyond? I've seen them, but have been too chicken to go buy and and try them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-rambling-update#post-691633 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 01:40:35 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 691633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So since I got back from the writers' conference I went to in late July, I've been busy a) working on the proposals for the books I pitched to agents at the conference, that's right, I said books plural b) freaking out about a and procrastinating in creative ways c) freaking out about all the other things I need to do, cf platform and social media, etc. You can't be an author and an introvert anymore, apparently.</p> <p>We're finally getting some 'real' heat here so all the true summer wear is coming out to play. Why do I have so many flowy summer skirts, when there is only about 6 weeks of hot weather where I live? I mean, some of them I sewed so I'm reluctant to toss them, but jeez. </p> <p>I've replaced all of my hangers for current season clothes, at least for everything except the skirts. I have a melange of skirt hanger types so I need to settle on one (and get rid of some skirts, see above). I went with the flocked hangers that Bed Bath &amp; Beyond sells, and speaking of whom, they have some nice boot shapers in store right now that have a little hanging doohickey, so you can hang up your boots in your closet if you want to. </p> <p>We've bought plane tickets for Europe next spring which I am totally psyched about. The current plan is to spend most of the time in Germany, Austria, etc., which I haven't been to since I was a kid. Anyone have any particular suggestions? </p> <p>I really miss having a functioning non-phone camera to take WIW pics. I feel like I've gotten a lot more creative and freewheeling about my outfits but the only one to appreciate them most of the time is my husband or my writing partners. :/ </p>
