I’m so glad to see someone “calling it out.” That disparity between expectations for men &amp; women’s appearance &amp; behavior is something I’ve been giving a lot of thought to even before this started.<br /> The ladies are dropping some bombs in this thread! In a good, thought provoking way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-89#post-2122030 Wed, 20 May 2020 14:15:56 +0000 Christina F. 2122030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Article about how women are fretting about their appearance in the age of Zoom.

Thanks for posting it. I’m passing it along on Twitter.<br /> So refreshing.<br /> I remember 9/11; I don’t think it will be long at all before most Americans do their “patriotic duty”—even though some will do it on credit. I did it, and found out the hard way that life doesn’t go as planned, and “safety nets” can sometimes vanish into thin air. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-89#post-2121887 Tue, 19 May 2020 20:45:33 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 2121887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting take on green fashion, trying to go a step beyond the usual:&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.vogue.com/article/regenerative-agriculture-sustainable-fashion-christy-dawn-fibershed">https://www.vogue.com/article/.....-fibershed</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-89#post-2121850 Tue, 19 May 2020 18:45:12 +0000 Inge 2121850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh thanks very much, Vildy, Carla, and Cindy.

It seems to be a recurring theme all around YLF as we navigate our way through the coronapocalypse, this idea that retail is undergoing a sea change. It just seemed so relevant to so many discussions we've been having here lately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-89#post-2121565 Mon, 18 May 2020 15:37:03 +0000 Carla 2121565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big thanks to LBD and her introducing Aly Art to me. &nbsp;She is hilarious, and yet invigoratingly honest and inclusive. &nbsp;I have been enjoying her Kibbe tutorials, but thought the following bit interesting given recent threads on style and the influence of Instagram and such...</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youtu.be/yHh5qkh9tgk">https://youtu.be/yHh5qkh9tgk</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-89#post-2121558 Mon, 18 May 2020 15:13:08 +0000 Vildy 2121558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I became interested in this after reading a recent lengthy discussion thread about it on reddit/female fashion advice.&nbsp; Minimalist fashion can be seen as lazy and sloppy on fat people.&nbsp; Also, minimalist style is often associated with fashionably "healthy" lifestyles, which many presume don't include fat people.&nbsp; In the reddit discussion many short muscular women also complained that minimalist style on them can look sloppy and dragged down.&nbsp; As a short but not delicately petite person, I can relate to that.&nbsp;</p> <p>This article was written in March 2019 and does touch upon the $ size of the plus market.&nbsp; It does mention brands who do cater for extended sizes and I am curious whether brands and stores who are floundering or shuttering now might finally wake up to this market.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.refinery29.com/en-gb/plus-size-clothing-minimalist">https://www.refinery29.com/en-.....minimalist</a></p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-89#post-2121516 Mon, 18 May 2020 12:48:32 +0000 Inge 2121516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Yes, it's time for another round, sweet Fabbers;-)</div><div><br /></div><div>Post your style-related link below, and don't forget to let us know why you would like to share it.</div><div><br /></div><div>As always, many thanks!</div><div><br /></div><div>Inge</div><div>xxx<br /></div> </p>
