He did a pretty good job! Loved her insight here:</p> <p><i>The last thing I learned from this experiment, is to find moments to be<br /> silly. Silliness is good for your kids and for your heart. Don’t take<br /> yourself to serious: they’re just clothes.</i></p> <p>I could definitely stand to lighten up and go easier on myself some days!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-164#post-1441284 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 08:41:59 +0000 Inge 1441284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That surprised me too, hmm.

I am so saving the Joan of Arc article to read at leisure tomorrow. And thank you also for adding the "Nice Things" article (love that!)<br />Vicki - Super. I always find visuals extremely helpful with scarf knots. (I also love that Jennifer uses Satie in her videos).<br />Ann - Refreshing indeed, especially the "what you really shouldn't wear" part.<br />Caro - So disappointing to read that so many fellow editors reacted hostile to her initiative.<br />Suz - That was quite eye-opening.</p> <p>Thanks so much everyone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-164#post-1440196 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 09:08:48 +0000 shipskitty 1440196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh..and I posted this article from the Toast (via Already Pretty)&nbsp;over the weekend because it resonated with me but it also resonated with quite a few other&nbsp;people so it might be worth adding to the links list:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://the-toast.net/2015/01/27/nice-things/">http://the-toast.net/2015/01/27/nice-things/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-164#post-1440110 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 02:47:13 +0000 Suz 1440110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's <a rel="nofollow" href="http://nymag.com/thecut/2015/02/joni-mitchell-fashion-muse.html#tmhmdj:4Mi">a fascinating article about Joni Mitchell</a>. It refers to the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://nymag.com/thecut/2015/01/joni-mitchell-strums-chords-for-saint-laurent.html">Hedi Slimane ad campaign for St. Laurent</a>&nbsp; but also includes some quotes that are highly pertinent to our recent forum discussions about personal style and its relationship to fashion. Apparently she took some flak from her musician and actor&nbsp;friends because after her hippie phase she chose to buy some designer things. Said she: "<i>I have to give up my individuality to belong to the club?</i>” </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-164#post-1440099 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 02:29:25 +0000 Caro in Oz 1440099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting article by&nbsp;<span>Liz Jones who recently resigned as editor of Marie Clare.</p> <p></span><i>"I&nbsp;had reached the point where I had simply had enough of working in an industry that pretends to support women while it bombards them with impossible images of perfection day after day, undermining their self-confidence, their health and hard-earned cash."</i><span></p> <p></span><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-38390/What-I-think-fashion-world.html">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/fem.....world.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-164#post-1440074 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 01:31:33 +0000 Ann in New England 1440074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know if this is appropriate, but I found it refreshing.
