She's now trying to force a change in the policy. She also happens to be an actress who has done parts in Doctor Who so she's able to get media attention easier than most.</p> <p><a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3584619/Temp-receptionist-sent-home-accountancy-firm-refused-wear-high-heels.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new.....rm-refused</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-220#post-1658845 Wed, 11 May 2016 17:35:35 +0000 Inge 1658845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumping:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-220#post-1658565 Wed, 11 May 2016 09:55:10 +0000 Inge 1658565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun start of the morning, thanks Angela:-)<br />Krish, thanks very much, I had a feeling the comments would be "divided".<br />Ledonna - I loved it! The entire article and the author's positive attitude (and hearing about how her Mum is such an example to her) just made me happy. And these two paragraphs are so uplifting:</p> <p><i>"I am now 36 years old.<br /> During my most recent book tour, I wore, for the first time, clothes<br /> that made me happy. My favorite outfit was a pair of ankara-print<br /> shorts, a damask top, and yellow high-heel shoes. Perhaps it is the<br /> confidence that comes with being older. Perhaps it is the good fortune<br /> of being published and read seriously, but I no longer pretend not to<br /> care about clothes. Because I do care. I love embroidery and texture. I<br /> love lace and full skirts and cinched waists. I love black, and I love<br /> color. I love heels, and I love flats. I love exquisite detailing. I<br /> love shorts and long maxidresses and feminine jackets with puffy<br /> sleeves. I love colored trousers. I love shopping. I love my two<br /> wonderful tailors in Nigeria, who often give me suggestions and with<br /> whom I exchange sketches. I admire well-dressed women and often make a point to tell them so. Just because. I dress now thinking of what I like, what I think fits and flatters, what puts me in a good mood. I<br /> feel again myself—an idea that is no less true for being a bit<br /> hackneyed.</i> </p> <p><i>I like to think of this, a little fancifully, as going back to my roots. I grew<br /> up, after all, in a world in which a woman's seriousness was not<br /> incompatible with an interest in appearance; if anything, an interest in<br /> appearance was expected of women who wanted to be taken seriously."</i></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-220#post-1658295 Tue, 10 May 2016 21:27:38 +0000 krishnidoux 1658295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi! I stumbled about this one about the price of the clothes we buy. THe author has an interesting take on how to shop for herself: she won't buy anything under $150, and it seems to have worked for her so far!<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2015/10/the-case-for-expensive-clothes/408652/">http://www.theatlantic.com/ent.....es/408652/</a></p> <p></p> <p>It is also fascinating to read the comments this article generated. Lots of very passionate reactions and different points of view. Many found $150 to be ridiculously high and seem almost offended. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-220#post-1658158 Tue, 10 May 2016 17:05:55 +0000 Ledonna N. 1658158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angela K.

Her amazing research and attention to style detail caught my eye on a recent post. I loved this article I don't usually read Elle but, I found this to ring true and to be informative.</p> <p><a href="http://www.elle.com/fashion/personal-style/a12670/personal-essay-on-style-by-chimamanda-ngozi-adichie/" rel="nofollow">http://www.elle.com/fashion/pe.....i-adichie/</a></p> <p>"She was taken aback to find that, "Women who wanted to be taken seriously were supposed to substantiate their seriousness with a studied indifference to appearance." She goes on to write about finding ways to defy this while continuing to be taken seriously."
