You have been an endless source of inspiration because we both love a classic look. You also mix and match so well. I have seen you work on mixing and matching over most of the past year and I have always been awed and inspired. I agree that being playful is quite important I think that is the element that makes the looks that inspire you your own as opposed to looking like a copy of an inspiration image. I love how you play with color tone print texture and shape. I always look forward to your posts. Congratulations on becoming a veteran :-D! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-becoming-a-veteran-2#post-997808 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 15:17:03 +0000 Jeanie 997808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats! &nbsp;This does seem like a special place. &nbsp;Glad you are keeping your playful side. &nbsp;Love your outfits. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-becoming-a-veteran-2#post-997782 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 14:36:09 +0000 Nicole D 997782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>COngrats! &nbsp;I will never forget your amazing versatile black wrap dress! &nbsp;That was a style tour de force. &nbsp;Glad you're back and keep posting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-becoming-a-veteran-2#post-997778 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 14:30:12 +0000 cobaltblue 997778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I especially love your fab frocks and sweet kitty!

I am feeling in a bit of transition right now and your statement about wanting to express your playful side while still looking like and adult hit home with me as well. Now... if I could only figure out WHICH outfit are better enjoyed on others... </p> <p>#2, 7, 9, and 10 are really striking me as inspirations here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-becoming-a-veteran-2#post-997746 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 13:10:55 +0000 Ingunn 997746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Ornella. I think our veteran status is very much appreciated because it indicates that one has achieved something, and endured. It is like a kind of graduation, somehow - at least it feels this way for me. </p> <p>ETA: Ramya, you're always so sweet! I think we double posted. I missed you too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-becoming-a-veteran-2#post-997743 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 13:08:20 +0000 ramya 997743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats Ingunn I did miss you so much last month ....&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-becoming-a-veteran-2#post-997740 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 13:03:49 +0000 Ornella 997740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful post Ingunn.&nbsp;Isn't it amazing just&nbsp;how much we care&nbsp;about&nbsp;Veteran status <b><i>here</i></b>? Thank you for so many intelligent and useful observations too, here and in all other posts. "Certain looks are better appreciated on others", "I've learned to accept my playful side", totally. As so many insights that&nbsp;seemed given and understandable, they make even more sense&nbsp;once put into written word.</p> <p>Congratulations.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-becoming-a-veteran-2#post-997737 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 12:56:12 +0000 Ingunn 997737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Caro, Asingh, Mona, Ceit, Thistle, Janet and Ruthe!</p> <p>Diane, daring to be more playful but still looking like an adult is a priority now Tanks!</p> <p>Suz, you are so right. If we don't have fun, what then? Thank you for commenting on my old dearest, too. The recent loss of Rosie for Greg and Angie made me aware of that I have to spend my time with him wisely, as it is always limited. That goes for people too, of course.</p> <p>ClaraT, thanks! There has been periods of good style and less good style in my life prior to YLF, but I really needed a change now, as I had started to feel very bored about my style, and bewildered about how to fix it. YLF came to the rescue, and now I'm enjoying fashion again as much as I did&nbsp;in my heydays as a young woman.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-becoming-a-veteran-2#post-997723 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 12:31:04 +0000 ruthe 997723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn, you are indeed an inspiration yourself. Thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-becoming-a-veteran-2#post-997721 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 12:22:40 +0000 ClaraT 997721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny-before this post I assumed you were like Angie in that you intuitively have good taste and know what works for you. Somehow reassuring that it has not always been thus :-). Love your collection of photos. Love that you wear shoes that you can walk in. And love that you contribute wiws that inspire me IRL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-becoming-a-veteran-2#post-997720 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 12:22:32 +0000 Janet 997720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats! I could have sworn you'd been here longer, your style seems so honed to me. </p> <p>I especially love #6, 7, and 8. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-becoming-a-veteran-2#post-997719 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 12:22:18 +0000 Thistle 997719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations, Ingunn!

It's so interesting what you have learned about your playful side and how to bring it into play so that it works for you rather than against you. That shows in your confidence in the&nbsp;last several photos, especially.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the picture of you and your kitty!! What'a little cat fur to the perfect LBD? And if we can't have fun in our beautiful things, what is the point?&nbsp; </p>
