I will save your link for this Thursday's post. And if not warmer, I'd definitely feel very stylish and fun in that plaid outfit:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-157#post-1410940 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 19:00:10 +0000 Karie 1410940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm late posting, but I did enjoy this pictorial on Popsugar. Does it feel warmer if you're wearing a great outfit? If I was wearing the fun and fabulously preppy-stylish&nbsp;plaid dress in pic #7, it certainly would.&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.fabsugar.com/Street-Style-Outfit-Ideas-Holiday-Party-32958153#photo-32958169"><br />Fact: It Feels Warmer Outside If You're Wearing a Great Outfit &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</a> </p> <p>Oh, I see I'm too late - maybe next week :)</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-157#post-1409326 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 16:03:15 +0000 Inge 1409326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent links, thanks very much Joy, Sarah and Dimity (we haven't linked to the Guardian article yet:-).</p> <p>And thank you again everyone else for the great links.

Awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-157#post-1409232 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 07:33:43 +0000 Dimity 1409232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've only been here a few weeks so I don't know if this has been shared previously.<br />It's a Guardian Weekly article about clothing during wartime, including comments on how to make a small wardrobe versatile. It's an eye opener for those of us who have always lived with ample clothes readily available.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2014/apr/30/fashion-1940-wartime-rationing">http://www.theguardian.com/the.....-rationing</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-157#post-1409206 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 05:12:22 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1409206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I cannot get enough of Gwen Stefani's style on the "The Voice". While so many of her looks are not ones I could (or would want to) pull off, the range of looks that she experiments with - clothing, makeup, shoes, accessories, hair - is broad and intense. The inspiration is limitless! In motion, on the show, her look "when Mod meets Bardot" was incredible. She looked soft and gorgeous!!</p> <p><a href="http://gwenstefani.com/thevoice" rel="nofollow">http://gwenstefani.com/thevoice</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-157#post-1409198 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 05:02:58 +0000 Anonymous 1409198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.pantone.com/pages/fcr/?season=spring&amp;year=2015&amp;pid=11" rel="nofollow">http://www.pantone.com/pages/f.....038;pid=11</a></p> <p>We know that Marsala is the Pantone color of 2015 but I wondered what the rest of the colors were.&nbsp; I found this with a video with a fun description of each.</p> <p>It was interesting to see that most of&nbsp;the colors are toned down from brights.&nbsp; For example "custard" looks to me like a slightly greyed citron.</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-157#post-1408951 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 18:55:04 +0000 Inge 1408951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Alexandra, I enjoyed reading it too.<br />And thanks Astrid, lots of food for thought in those posts, and I've been following the discussion here on YLF with interest too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-157#post-1408871 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 15:21:59 +0000 Astrid 1408871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In fashion the idea of minimalism often gets tied to the idea of paring down the wardrobe to the "perfect" items. One is supposed to "curate" the wardrobe. This article describes the phenomenon and shows how tricky the search for perfection is and how little it really has to do with minimalism in its truest sense. I love her suggestion of replacing <i>perfection</i> with <i>adequacy</i>.</p> <p><a href="http://the-nife.blogspot.de/2014/05/on-perfection.html" rel="nofollow">http://the-nife.blogspot.de/20.....ction.html</a></p> <p>There's also another post, kind of related to that, which talks about the meaning/importance of objects in minimalism/a simple life:</p> <p><a href="http://the-nife.blogspot.de/2014/10/the-importance-of-objects.html" rel="nofollow">http://the-nife.blogspot.de/20.....jects.html</a></p> <p>And here's my thread on the forum which grew from me recommending the two articles above:</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/minimalism-about-the-importance-of-objects-and-on-perfection" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/minimalism-about-the-importance-of-objects-and-on-perfection" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....perfection</a><br /></a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-157#post-1408384 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 18:12:20 +0000 Alexandra 1408384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I enjoyed Janice's musings about the "number" wardrobes and how they might work in real life: <a href="http://www.theviviennefiles.com/2014/12/the-french-5-piece-wardrobe-french-10.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.theviviennefiles.co.....ch-10.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-157#post-1408294 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 16:27:54 +0000 Inge 1408294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, excellent!
