No one dresses up there, but for the most part, people in Latin America do dress up more than in the U.S. It is for this reason that I’m making sure my wardrobe still includes some dressy clothing &amp; accessories. I know I’ll need to dress up at some point. I like for my casual clothing to be on the dressier side, too. I don’t wear tees &amp; shorts/pants unless I’m exercising. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-136#post-2258983 Tue, 12 Apr 2022 21:12:18 +0000 ZoeyGirl 2258983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="https://people.com/royals/queen-elizabeths-favorite-handbag-brand-launches-new-retro-style-in-honor-of-queens-jubilee/" rel="nofollow">https://people.com/royals/quee.....s-jubilee/</a></p> <p>A fun read!

Also, at bottom of article in the resources section are several more articles from a fitting/tailoring/alterations perspective.&nbsp; Very helpful if you want to explain to a tailor what and how to correct something or, of course, for DIYers.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-136#post-2258809 Mon, 11 Apr 2022 12:07:19 +0000 Inge 2258809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Hello everyone,</div><div><br /></div><div>Shall we do another round?-)</div><div><br /></div><div>As always, post your style-related link below, and do let us know why it caught your attention.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you so much!<br /></div> </p>
