I'm always envious of your cohesive polished look.<br /> I did find the comments a tacky....but thems the breaks I suppose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/our-deborah-is-famous/page/2#post-1735037 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 02:34:20 +0000 Deborah 1735037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ladies you are all making me feel very special xx&nbsp;</p> <p>Fern, welcome to YLF and thanks so much for your very kind words. &nbsp;Look forward to getting to know youxx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/our-deborah-is-famous/page/2#post-1735020 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 01:35:15 +0000 Fern 1735020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, I am a newbie at YLF but I must tell you that your style is amazing. Congratulations on the recognition and thank you for the inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/our-deborah-is-famous/page/2#post-1734710 Sun, 02 Oct 2016 02:36:17 +0000 Jaime 1734710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I rarely log onto facebook (true story I only joined to see my nieces' friends - at their insistence), but will have a snoop around and see if I can find you Deborah! I have no doubt you look smashing. (And April, if you see this, I am blushing!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/our-deborah-is-famous/page/2#post-1734673 Sat, 01 Oct 2016 23:44:39 +0000 rachylou 1734673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How cool is that?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/our-deborah-is-famous/page/2#post-1734647 Sat, 01 Oct 2016 23:14:43 +0000 Eliza 1734647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations, Deborah. Your style rocks and it is a privilege to see it. ( I hope I can trace it down now...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/our-deborah-is-famous/page/2#post-1734638 Sat, 01 Oct 2016 22:44:43 +0000 Sal 1734638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done Deborah - I find you an inspiration so I am not surprised you feature. Stylish inside and out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/our-deborah-is-famous/page/2#post-1734544 Sat, 01 Oct 2016 17:06:44 +0000 Vix 1734544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on the dual feature, Deborah! The public eye can be a critical one but love your attitude. </p> <p>Visual sameness is so boring to me -- even if I wouldn't wear someone else's outfit or find a lot to dislike I'm glad to see diversity!&nbsp;</p> <p>ps Re being tagged on a "senior" style group -- don't worry, I'm in my late 40s and my mom won't even let me say I'm middle-aged; she'd never approve of you being labelled senior, ha!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/our-deborah-is-famous/page/2#post-1734503 Sat, 01 Oct 2016 15:51:33 +0000 Isis 1734503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your outfits; both of them!&nbsp;&nbsp; I found the comments fascinating!&nbsp; The most common tweak was to say that the voluminous top <i>needed</i> to be paired with long skinny pants.&nbsp; That's a fine look, but so ordinary! Also interesting that several thought the cropped flairs were outdated!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I loved your cropped flairs and booties; in my opinion they are what made the outfit!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> <p>I love how this site has trained my eyes to see new things and appreciate them.&nbsp; </p> <p>Congrats Debra;&nbsp; in sum, beautiful photography and wonderful outfits :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/our-deborah-is-famous/page/2#post-1734471 Sat, 01 Oct 2016 14:00:29 +0000 anne 1734471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, I thought I had replied yesterday, mustn't have pressed submit. Anyway just wanted to say congratulations. As CocoCat says it is clearly an honour to be picked!<br />Some of the comments were a little amusing to one who knows you a bit better. I think some of them would be surprised to know your real height, and I was amused to see the description of where you lived! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/our-deborah-is-famous/page/2#post-1734399 Sat, 01 Oct 2016 07:58:22 +0000 Bijou 1734399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah for me you are a style icon. &nbsp;I feel very fortunate that you share your stunning style on YLF and your blog. Because of you I have rediscovered my love of black. There is something so timeless, elegant and understated yet edgy about black, for me you personify this look. It is also lovely to see how you (and other forum members) constantly update your style, the new undercut is simply stunning.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/our-deborah-is-famous/page/2#post-1734390 Sat, 01 Oct 2016 06:22:50 +0000 Deborah 1734390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seriously ladies you are all too kind.... and I love your for it &nbsp;But you know it could be any one of you, as you are all incredibly stylish women. &nbsp;I am inspired by you each and every day and am not sure I could get dressed in the mornings if I don't have a quick skim of what everyone is wearing when I wake each day. &nbsp; I am very proud to be part of this community and have access to such a special group of women who beautiful on the inside and out. xxx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/our-deborah-is-famous#post-1734370 Sat, 01 Oct 2016 04:18:46 +0000 tulle 1734370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How nice, and so well-deserved:&nbsp; you are one of the most photogenic and stylish women--of any age--around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/our-deborah-is-famous#post-1734368 Sat, 01 Oct 2016 04:15:34 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1734368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you know I'm your biggest fan Deborah, so congrats on this feature. You deserve it. As for the critics, as the young folks say 'Haters gonna hate.'&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/our-deborah-is-famous#post-1734363 Sat, 01 Oct 2016 04:04:15 +0000 Gigi 1734363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All I can say is, I am not surprised that you were featured! You have an amazing sense of style.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/our-deborah-is-famous#post-1734302 Sat, 01 Oct 2016 01:19:03 +0000 bj1111 1734302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>how fantastic and fitting. &nbsp;you are a style icon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/our-deborah-is-famous#post-1734271 Sat, 01 Oct 2016 00:00:55 +0000 Deborah 1734271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone. I think anything that promotes conversation re style and gets women thinking about their personal style is a good thing. We are a unique bunch here who are exposed to many diverse looks, whereas many others are not. It's interesting to read between the lines of some commenters to see what motivates how they chose to dress. I think the psychology of how we dress is a fascinating subject and one I'm sure Angie would have a lot of knowledge on </p> <p>And it is really nice to be featured, particularly given I'm a very small fish in a very big pond and I'm not a career blogger, just someone who does it for my own enjoyment and to engage with other like minded women:).</p> <p>Oh and it did take a few moments to digest the 'senior' thing lol. I don't think you are officially a senior in Australia until you are 60 (I'm 51)! But hey I think we just keep getting better with age and I'm loving it!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/our-deborah-is-famous#post-1734257 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 22:01:01 +0000 Lyn D. 1734257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not a FB fan but will seek this out through DH.<br /> Love your attitude as always Deborah! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/our-deborah-is-famous#post-1734144 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 17:17:55 +0000 Angie 1734144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats. That's wonderful.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/our-deborah-is-famous#post-1734125 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 16:15:35 +0000 JAileen 1734125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Deborah always looks fab. I hardly think of her as senior, though. If you're older than me, maybe. Younger? No way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/our-deborah-is-famous#post-1734123 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 16:00:43 +0000 April 1734123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am looking through the Fashion Over Fifty Facebook group and haven't seen our Deborah yet, but here's what I AM noticing.&nbsp;</p> <p>First off, it's amusing to me that when I saw the label "Over Fifty", I imagined a target group around my age -- early fifties. &nbsp;In reality, they are lumping women who seem to have just turned 50 with women who appear to be in their late 70s. &nbsp;</p> <p>Yep -- we're all the same. &nbsp;Same fashion issues, same style questions. &nbsp;Once you pass 50, it's all OLD AGE. &nbsp;Come now. &nbsp;:) &nbsp;That's like saying "pre-teen" is a good label to use if you mean to include everything from 12-year-olds to newborns. &nbsp;Yeah, TECHNICALLY they're in the same age group, but really?</p> <p>Second, I appreciate how they seem to have taken a stand in support of gray or white hair. &nbsp;I color my own hair, but that's because of something else I notice among their featured ladies -- the very low numbers of curly-haired women. &nbsp;That's because, as I've been saying for years, it's really hard to make curly hair look good in its natural silver or salt-and-pepper state. &nbsp;It just tends to go all coarse and unruly when it goes gray. &nbsp;Our Shevia manages it beautifully, and that's no easy feat!&nbsp;</p> <p>So, Deborah, what's the date where I'll find your picture posted?<br />&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/our-deborah-is-famous#post-1734076 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 13:25:30 +0000 Cococat 1734076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's actually quite an honour to be featured on these pages as they tend to only feature celebs, industry people and cool style bloggers. </p> <p>They usually ask their followers if they would wear the outfit. Obviously some would and some wouldn't, and people can be quite vocal in their opinions. Anyone with a unique style like Deborah can be too much for some of them who seem quite conservative or have little interest in fashion and style. No matter who they feature, there are always people who wouldn't wear it that way, don't like it etc etc.. It makes the comments irrelevant because everyone has different ideas about what they would wear. There is never unanimous agreement about a look, even when style icons are featured.</p> <p>It was lovely seeing Deborah on these pages as the featured style blogger. She looked amazing as always in both outfits.</p> <p>Deborah, I hope you take this as the compliment it is! I could only ever dream of being featured on a FB fashion page... xx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/our-deborah-is-famous#post-1734072 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 13:15:32 +0000 MaryA 1734072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had the same thoughts as Traci when I was reading the comments. The more negative comments all seemed to come from people who had no interest in updating their style and couldn't seem to appreciate anyone who did.&nbsp;<br />While my style is different from yours...I always look forward to seeing your posts because they are so "you". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/our-deborah-is-famous#post-1734067 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 13:12:43 +0000 Banoffi 1734067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just had a look at these FB groups, and was able to see your photo and comments on the Senior Style Bible page. &nbsp;You look great, Deborah! &nbsp;</p> <p>Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I honestly don't understand why so many commentators didn't like your pants and sandals. &nbsp;I LOVE those sandals and think the pants look great with both the sandals and your top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/our-deborah-is-famous#post-1734064 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 13:00:12 +0000 Traci 1734064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to go take a look! &nbsp;First and foremost, you look smashing in the picture, Deb.</p> <p>The second thing that struck me was how the tone of the hostess changes things. &nbsp;I think the question of "Would you wear this?" is just a set up for criticism. &nbsp;It kind of flips us into a mindset of looking for what is wrong with the outfit, or what we would change. &nbsp;Just another reminder of how the gracious tone Angie sets for our forum really informs everything that is said here. &nbsp;People sometimes forget there's a real live person behind that "look" that they're picking apart.</p> <p>Funny thing is, as I read their comments I just thought how limited they sounded, and it didn't change my impression of how amazing you look one bit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/our-deborah-is-famous#post-1734061 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 12:54:30 +0000 Jules 1734061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems I can't see anything on these pages unless I join up. I'm a bit confused, do they share photos of people without asking and invite public comment? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/our-deborah-is-famous#post-1734056 Fri, 30 Sep 2016 12:27:37 +0000 Suz 1734056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations, Deborah!
