This lengthy and fascinating read on "vintage adventurer inspired outfits " incorporates the old style Banana Republic catalogue, a video on the original Women's Land Army uniform, a tutorial on going from a Pinterest page of likes to a list of desired garments, and how the blogger then made entire outfits just by shopping her closet.

We have a similar story in NZ of our start-up Trade Me which a young man got going to sell all manner of second-hand stuff online, and made himself a fortune when he sold it. It’s our E-bay and Kiwis love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-71#post-2056439 Wed, 28 Aug 2019 19:52:26 +0000 Inge 2056439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, thanks always trying.

Women dream of themselves being dreamt of. Men look at women. <br />Women watch themselves being looked at. Women constantly meet glances which act like <br />mirrors, reminding them of how they look or how they should look. Behind every glance <br />is a judgement. Sometimes the glance they meet is their own, reflected back from a real <br />mirror. A woman is always accompanied except for when quite alone, perhaps even then, <br />by her own image of herself. While she is walking across a room or weeping at the death <br />of her father, she cannot avoid envisioning herself walking or weeping. From earliest <br />childhood she is taught and persuaded to survey herself continually.? She has to survey <br />everything she is and everything she does because how she appears to others, and <br />particularly how she appears to men, is of crucial importance for it is normally thought <br />of as the success of her life.<br /></div><div>-from around 1972<br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-71#post-2056177 Tue, 27 Aug 2019 22:10:14 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 2056177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="https://thehustle.co/jcpenney-macys-thredup-clothes/" rel="nofollow">https://thehustle.co/jcpenney-.....p-clothes/</a></p> <p><a href="https://hustlecon.com/the-startup-rejected-27-times-131-million-in-funding/?utm_source=twitter&#038;utm_medium=orgsocial&#038;utm_campaign=HC19-schneider&#038;utm_term=82019&#038;utm_content=subscriber" rel="nofollow">https://hustlecon.com/the-star.....subscriber</a></p> <p>A couple of recent articles about the growth of second hand shopping and the startup ThredUp.<br /> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/news/2019/aug/02/athleisure-barre-kale-tyranny-ideal-woman-labour" rel="nofollow">https://www.theguardian.com/ne.....man-labour</a><br /> And an interesting essay about the idea of the ‘ideal woman’ and ways we can each reinforce the messages of the market even when we say we’re empowered and making our own choices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-71#post-2056176 Tue, 27 Aug 2019 22:03:16 +0000 Jorja 2056176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this description of planning an outfit!<br /> <a href="http://www.brendakinsel.com/anatomy-of-fall-fashion-outfits-styling-a-skirt-two-ways/" rel="nofollow">http://www.brendakinsel.com/an.....-two-ways/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-71#post-2056086 Tue, 27 Aug 2019 15:25:58 +0000 Jaime 2056086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm.

This made me think too:</div><div><i>When asked why he thinks Barneys is struggling, he dismissed the<br /> internet. “I know retailers like to blame it on the internet, but that’s<br /> like back in the day, if I were to blame it on the weather. It’s<br /> relevant, but not that relevant.” The real reason, he said, is simpler<br /> and sadder. “They just stopped being relevant.”</i></div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you for bumping, nemosmom!<br /></div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-71#post-2055944 Mon, 26 Aug 2019 19:22:49 +0000 nemosmom 2055944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>bump!</div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-71#post-2055900 Mon, 26 Aug 2019 15:00:03 +0000 Vildy 2055900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I'm interested in how people (me!) are merchandised to and find interesting this concept of glamour.
