Because from a quick look at her blog it seems she combines Zyla's colour theory (which I very much agree with) with personal brand archetypes loosely based on Jungean archetypes which I had never read about. I am going down a rabbit hole now and I can totally see how identifying the brand archetype(s) you want to project informs your personal style.</p> <p>This link has all arvhetypes in one convenient place. <a href="https://iconicfox.com.au/brand-archetypes/" rel="nofollow">https://iconicfox.com.au/brand-archetypes/</a> </p> <p>This site describes better (in the individual links) how each archetype uses color and visual elements: <a href="https://astute.co/brand-archetypes/" rel="nofollow">https://astute.co/brand-archetypes/</a> </p> <p>I am clearly a Sage Explorer... </p> <p>Off to ponder how to translate this to personal style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-132#post-2251998 Tue, 15 Feb 2022 20:22:21 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2251998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve never heard of Lisa Pippus before, wondered if she was connected to a different Lisa P.

The top was a coset with the overskirt or peplum connected. The skirt had the hoops and all of the lights and battery pack- which was what made it so heavy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-132#post-2251975 Tue, 15 Feb 2022 15:24:34 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2251975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chewy, can you show us what they look like? When I googled “ Electric Parade skirts for Cinderella's court” I just got a bunch of Disney Princess dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-132#post-2251969 Tue, 15 Feb 2022 15:05:25 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2251969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>15 pounds is not that heavy for a costume, although all on two small straps sounds painful. When I was at Disneyland, the Electric Parade skirts for Cinderella's court were 40 pounds each. We had to make sure the waistbands were fastened as tightly as possible, or elsewhenthe ladies spun, the skirt would spin on their waist too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-132#post-2251965 Tue, 15 Feb 2022 14:13:27 +0000 Anonymous 2251965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's one on warm vs cool grey hair.<br /> <a href="https://insideoutstyleblog.com/2022/02/warm-vs-cool-grey-hair-and-how-going-grey-may-change-your-wardrobe-choices.html" rel="nofollow">https://insideoutstyleblog.com.....oices.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-132#post-2251964 Tue, 15 Feb 2022 13:52:30 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2251964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am resisting the siren call of everybody's links, because I like to save them up for a proper sit-down on Friday mornings.&nbsp; &nbsp;But I could not resist the penny dress.&nbsp; &nbsp;OMG <b>Vildy,</b> that penny dress!&nbsp; &nbsp; And now that I've found this YouTuber, I'm fighting the urge to take a deep dive into her video collection.&nbsp; &nbsp;(The fiberoptic dress video is murmuring words of enticement in mine ear).&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I used to work for WDW entertainment, and some of the costumes I wore were about the weight of that penny dress.&nbsp; &nbsp;If the weight is distributed evenly, it isn't bad, but carrying the weight of the dress on two shoulder straps looks like a nightmare!</p> <p>The blog on Lisa Pippus' website is still available.&nbsp; &nbsp;She hasn't posted anything new there in about two years, but her posts are timeless.&nbsp; &nbsp;I like to revisit them from time to time.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-132#post-2251947 Tue, 15 Feb 2022 08:12:58 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2251947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vildly, you find the most unusual things! I watched the whole video to find out how heavy the dress must be. She didn’t say, just that she was surprised it was heavy (!), that it’s “like, 10 pounds” and that she used 2652 pennies. I’m off to Google the weight of a penny….</p> <p>ETA a penny is 2.5 grams, according to the mint. Her dress weighs 14.62 lbs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-132#post-2251933 Tue, 15 Feb 2022 03:23:17 +0000 unfrumped 2251933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jaime, I was about to post a Carla Rockmore link ! I just recently “ found “ her also.<br /> I don’t look anything like her, and none of her outfits would look the same on me, and she uses a huge wardrobe to get just the right look she’s going for, and her style is much more dramatic than I’d wear, BUT still, I seem to find nuggets of inspiration from the way she combines elements. Really good use of proportions. Makes me want to go rummage through my closet and try some things out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-132#post-2251930 Tue, 15 Feb 2022 02:22:46 +0000 Jaime 2251930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loved this article and particularly the introduction to Carla Rockmore a new to me over 50 style icon:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/09/magazine/carla-rockmore-fashion.html?action=click&amp;module=Well&amp;pgtype=Homepage&amp;section=The%20New%20York%20Times%20Magazine">https://www.nytimes.com/2022/0.....20Magazine</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-132#post-2251923 Tue, 15 Feb 2022 00:31:28 +0000 Vildy 2251923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is actually good looking, I think.&nbsp; Unique DIY project - woman made a flapper dress out of 2000 pennies.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ploiiCA7fwc">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ploiiCA7fwc</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-132#post-2251920 Mon, 14 Feb 2022 22:44:44 +0000 Vildy 2251920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary Beth, thanks for sharing.&nbsp; I used to read her and lost track.&nbsp; Was just wondering about her the other day.&nbsp; Loved the image she used where a client realized her style was like dark, winey chocolate!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-132#post-2251918 Mon, 14 Feb 2022 22:19:37 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2251918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa Pippus, of Style Is A Language, is one of my favorite style writers (I shared her blog here years).&nbsp; &nbsp;Her insta posts are beautifully empowering, illustrated litle mini-articles on how/why to identify your personal style brand and color palette.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/styleisalanguage/">https://www.instagram.com/styleisalanguage/</a>&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-132#post-2251904 Mon, 14 Feb 2022 20:32:12 +0000 ophelia 2251904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kkards, what a great site!<br /> And, leather:<br /> <a href="https://goodonyou.eco/buy-leather-what-to-look-out-for/" rel="nofollow">https://goodonyou.eco/buy-leat.....k-out-for/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-132#post-2251893 Mon, 14 Feb 2022 19:26:35 +0000 Inge 2251893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Stagiaire - It's new to me, so thank you!-)</div><div>Runcarla - It's good to see more initiatives like these popping up.
