This thread is now closed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-88#post-982966 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 19:22:11 +0000 Vildy 982966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>heh. This is an everyday strategy. (I can dress in 10 minutes, anyway) I'm steeped to the eyeballs at all times in upcoming trends. So I went back in my memory and discovered some surprising things: I like one idea, a throughline, such as a dress, a matching pantsuit, 2 piece dress. If items not part of a set, then having the same level of lightness/darkness. Could have knocked me over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-88#post-982883 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 18:15:03 +0000 Inge 982883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh thanks Vildy, off to read the post. Also: that is quite a useful realization, time to start getting down to business and figuring out which are those favourite of favourite&nbsp;outfits that can be there for you when you need them the most (Fast Fallback, for example).<br />Do keep us posted? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-88#post-982433 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 09:33:15 +0000 Vildy 982433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I read all kinds of material about identifying your style and how that influences your shopping and/or purging. Most concentrate on the What's and easily lead to the typical MustHaves lists. I love Sal of Already Pretty's work because it insists on the Why's and, most important to me, the importance of understanding your current style.&nbsp; I finally understand why I don't like the mix and match capsule wardrobes&nbsp; - get dozens of outfits from just these few pieces! It's because I prefer wearing the same GoTo outfits over and over. But why can't I figure out what my Favorite pieces are? Because I add so many new (to me) things continually, exploring trends, that I keep coming up with new favorite outfits - from new favorite items. But what happened to the recent favorite outfits? Forgotten. If I *want* to have familiar favorite outfits that get reworn time and again, then I *can't* crowd them out continually with newly made favorite outfits. New items are defeating my main purpose in wardrobe and style! So I'm done shopping. </p> <p>Not everyone's cup of tea but I've certainly found my own now, thanks to her column: <br /><a href="http://www.alreadypretty.com/2013/07/dont-think-shop.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.alreadypretty.com/2.....-shop.html</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-88#post-981981 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 20:07:07 +0000 Inge 981981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much, Mary (I'm saving this one to read later, to give it the time it deserves) and Lisa (this story warms my heart!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-88#post-981953 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 19:45:11 +0000 Lisa 981953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is yet another reason why I like Nordstrom, it's nice to see at least one store with a touch of class (having a greeter) and keeping an elderly employee on staff and not pushing them out the door at retirement age (older employees still bring value to the workplace).</p> <p><a href="http://gma.yahoo.com/blogs/abc-blogs/99-old-california-man-nordstroms-only-greeter-190458538.html" rel="nofollow">http://gma.yahoo.com/blogs/abc.....58538.html</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-88#post-981805 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 16:58:14 +0000 MsMary 981805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super powerful post about losing one's "beauty" while undergoing cancer treatment:&nbsp; <a href="http://vagendamag.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-bald-truth.html#!/2013/07/the-bald-truth.html" rel="nofollow">http://vagendamag.blogspot.com.....truth.html</a>.&nbsp; I think this line, in particular, dovetails nicely with<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-modesty-project-what-do-you-think" rel="nofollow"> our recent discussion about the conventionally-pretty young lady who decided to experiment with "modest" dressing</a>:&nbsp; "I realised that my previous refusal to engage with what I saw as unnecessary and excessive grooming was a luxury afforded to me by the fact that as a healthy 27 year old woman of average looks, height and weight, I didn't need to do much to look all right." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-88#post-981727 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 15:20:01 +0000 Inge 981727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is such an interesting point of departure!

So many are worth repeating I would not know where to start.&nbsp;<br />But if I had to pick a few of the 45 for YLF specific perhaps these ones:<br /><span>17. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful. Clutter weighs you down in many ways<br /></span><span>21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don’t&nbsp;save it for a special occasion. Today is special.<br /></span><span>43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.<br /></span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://southerngirlonamission.wordpress.com/2013/01/04/45-lessons-life-taught-me-by-regina-brett-90-years-young/">http://southerngirlonamission......ars-young/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-88#post-980582 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 09:55:05 +0000 Inge 980582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Curious to hear what you have come across this week, ladies </p>
