How people gravitate to others doing the same brand of "minimalism." And how it doesn't need to mean having less - and indeed many of the proclaimers of minimalist style are caught out selling off their many acquisitions quite regularly. </p> <p>Hadley Freeman's article: I have a fashion book from the 30's that warns gals not to spend their precious funds on Fords - the items that catch on with everybody and you get sick of seeing. But also I am wincing at the idea that you take that fallback item and just get rid of it. aiyeeee. (though I did that , once, some years ago, when I realized I was wearing too many dun colored clothes that were "comfy." To force myself out of hiding through leaving myself no alternative to do that anymore. :D) Her book, btw, is equally opinionated and quite droll. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-111#post-1131322 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 13:26:07 +0000 Vildy 1131322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, I've been using that clustering concept after reading the entry recently. It's been very helpful to me because, though I've done various clusters/capsules before, when she breaks it up into categories of garments, I, too, have been more clearly able to see when I am choosing certain favorites repeatedly. The way it made her notice that she needed to cull scarves. I always had trouble with that before because, you know, I like everything and feel like my wardrobe lends itself to lots of interchangeable outfits. But in reality, I may be choosing favorites and not realizing it. And this is exactly the direction I had wanted to go. </p> <p>She offers a free download of the template and I find that listing things out <br />in the categories is pointing things up to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-111#post-1131278 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 12:36:37 +0000 Elizabeth P 1131278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is kinda fun... some New Year's Fashion Resolutions<br /><a href="http://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2014/jan/06/new-year-fashion-resolutions-guide" rel="nofollow">http://www.theguardian.com/fas.....ions-guide</a></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-111#post-1131238 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 11:28:22 +0000 Deborah 1131238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge not sure if this has been mentioned before but with so many Fabbers doing wardrobe edits I found this interesting. Similar concept to developing capsules.

He also has a book by the same title with more pictures, lists, etc.&nbsp; I plan on testing this out the next<br /> time I travel but I have a sneaky suspicion that I will love it as I already<br /> love using it in my own closets.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-111#post-1130629 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 20:29:54 +0000 tarzy 1130629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found this very amusing: <br /><a href="http://gapmannequinproject.tumblr.com/" rel="nofollow">http://gapmannequinproject.tumblr.com/</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-111#post-1130419 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 16:54:21 +0000 Inge 1130419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It never occurred to me that squinching could make us more photogenic, Vildy, how interesting.

Take your pick of whichever you like best:</p> <p>Squinching your eyes, which he claims makes you ooze confidence and self-assurance. I think it looks good but don't automatically think "confident."<br />Maybe he figures that's the selling point with everyone. <br /><a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2511106/Can-squinching-really-make-look-beautiful-photos.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/fem.....l-photos.h</a>tml</p> <p>and a fifteen minute video showing how different people can look when they <br />move their face in toward the camera and then drop their jaw some, "creating" or restoring a jawline.
