Those that grow up with uniforms wanting standout individuality and those without school uniforms looking for conforming/belonging with the "right" items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-133#post-1274801 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 21:56:28 +0000 Ornella 1274801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting article about assessing the quality of the clothing garment.

I also found this look at French vs. British styles of dressing from a fashion blogger who apparently frequents both places (she must live a more glam lifestyle than I do)! I found her fashion insider view of cracking the french market quite interesting - marking up Zara and shopping being a weekend sport with mothers and grandmothers in France.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.luckymag.com/style/2014/06/camille-over-the-rainbow-french-girl-style">http://www.luckymag.com/style/.....girl-style</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-133#post-1274404 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 12:44:24 +0000 Laurinda 1274404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is from the category of fun geeky trivia.&nbsp;I was looking for a particular button size and ran into&nbsp;a short introduction on why buttons are sized in <i>Ligne</i>, French for <b>lines</b>, along with a handy chart for converting button sizes.&nbsp;Dating to the pre-1700s, a&nbsp;ligne is based on the&nbsp;inside diameter of a "round wick folded flat."&nbsp;It is also used to measure watch movements. &nbsp;<b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.naturalbuttons.com/Buttons%20Ligne.htm">Buttons Specifications</a></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-133#post-1274284 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 09:45:30 +0000 Inge 1274284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vildy -&nbsp;This looks very interesting, I'm saving this to read over lunch.<br />lyn* - I can totally see why this is your cup of tea.

I don't wear eye shadow so I'd be much more interested in its use for lip colors.

It also helps me learn more about the dress styles that are "in" on the UK side of the pond! -&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.shoeperwoman.com/clothes/dresses/">http://www.shoeperwoman.com/clothes/dresses/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-133#post-1273740 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 18:12:56 +0000 Vildy 1273740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love to read about people's aha moments on their style journey. I particularly related to how, despite her physical fragility, she chose strong, thick fabrics to reflect her "forceful will."&nbsp; It always interests me to see how people handle a mismatch between physicality and personality/character. <br /><a href="http://www.styleisalanguage.com/blog-stories/2014/6/9/rkb05c5esdi7ewtkrs5a914se1sjnc" rel="nofollow">http://www.styleisalanguage.co.....914se1sjnc</a></p> <p>In case you want to see what she does look like<br /><a href="http://www.auguryconsulting.com/founder/" rel="nofollow">http://www.auguryconsulting.com/founder/</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-133#post-1273727 Mon, 09 Jun 2014 17:55:48 +0000 Inge 1273727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello Fabbers,</p> <p>I can't wait to see what fab stuff you have come across this week.
