And I enjoyed this article about Adele, Nadya. Thank you both!</p> <p>I am closing the thread for this week, thanks so much again for the brilliant links. And Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates the holiday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-205#post-1587805 Thu, 26 Nov 2015 05:51:22 +0000 Nadya 1587805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I enjoyed this article about Adele's fashion and the hopeful question it poses: Could Adele single-handedly bring back clothes? </p> <p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/21/fashion/the-adele-effect-with-the-release-of-25-the-singer-flexes-some-fashion-muscles.html?_r=0" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11......html?_r=0</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-205#post-1587525 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 12:47:00 +0000 Vildy 1587525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I admire Janice's style choices though, like almost all the styles I admire on others, it isn't one I like for me. In this post of hers she suggests, with examples for each category, creating your own holiday/dressy look by taking a favorite garment style you habitually wear and subbing in the dressy version. <br /><a href="http://www.theviviennefiles.com/2015/11/expanding-your-comfort-zone-finding.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.theviviennefiles.co.....nding.html</a></p> <p>I personally like the idea of using her keywords -&nbsp; sequined, beaded, embellished, ornamented, jacquard, velvet, metallic or brocade - to shop your own closet, as I can do having a varied wardrobe already. <br />&nbsp;</p> <p>ETA: oops, sorry I was confusing my morning reading. I meant to say Janice from Vivienne Files!&nbsp; Edited to fix. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-205#post-1587522 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 12:34:24 +0000 Inge 1587522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Catherine makes some very good points, thanks very much, Celia!<br />Fun and eye-opening, Mary! Also, I had no idea meteorologists often need to buy the clothes they wear on TV themselves. <br />And, "the weight of the world", that HuffPost article is brilliant:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-205#post-1587186 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 16:56:14 +0000 MsMary 1587186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super fun article about female TV meteorologists all wearing the same dress: <a href="http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2015/11/24/fashion_advice_from_women_meteorologists_and_why_they_all_wear_the_same.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_....._same.html</a></p> <p>Edited to add a thoughtful counterpoint at the Washington Post: <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2015/11/24/the-meteorologist-dress-meme-is-pretty-awful-actually/" rel="nofollow">https://www.washingtonpost.com.....-actually/</a></p> <p>Okay, and one more: The very, very, VERY best "what women over 50 shouldn't wear" list in the history of the internet.

What is so wrong about owning the age we have and wanting brands to cater to our specific requirements instead of struggling with the concept of 'looking young '?<a href="http://www.notdressedaslamb.com/2015/11/why-negativity-towards-brands-that-target-the-older-woman.html?m=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.notdressedaslamb.co.....n.html?m=1</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-205#post-1587014 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 10:53:24 +0000 Inge 1587014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No worries at all about the double post, Isabel, and thanks for posting the video.
