I never took pictures of myself before joining YLF this summer, so I can't share. I do know that I used to dress somewhat more conservatively before YLF ("Oh, I couldn't possibly wear that in the classroom. Too &lt;fill in the blank&gt;"). Now I usually go for it, as long as I still look authoritative. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-your-year-ago-look#post-293202 Sun, 06 Feb 2011 15:09:28 +0000 April 293202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, your early outfits are okay, but having met you in person, I know that your style has developed a whole lot more zest lately! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-your-year-ago-look#post-293187 Sun, 06 Feb 2011 13:30:23 +0000 Lisa 293187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My early YLF photos are on photobucket.</p> <p>Here's one.<br /> <a href="http://i798.photobucket.com/albums/yy264/lduncanz/May%2019%202010/IMG_2493.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i798.photobucket.com/al.....G_2493.jpg</a></p> <p>Here's another one.<br /> <a href="http://i798.photobucket.com/albums/yy264/lduncanz/Pattern%20Mixing%20Tryouts/IMG_2748.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i798.photobucket.com/al.....G_2748.jpg</a></p> <p>I have not reached a year yet so I do not have a direct comparison based on the season. But here are two recent looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-your-year-ago-look#post-292635 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 16:44:16 +0000 Kristen 292635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristine, I haven't been around much and hadn't seen your new haircut yet. It is STUNNING, so fresh and modern. Love love love it -- and you were able to keep the bangs and make them an integral part of the cut. Wow!!</p> <p>Anne, I am also loving your spiky cut. So cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-your-year-ago-look#post-292595 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 15:20:54 +0000 April 292595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cilleena -- that difference is STEEP. Wow.</p> <p>MPJ -- come to our swap and you'll get your chance... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-your-year-ago-look#post-292592 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 15:01:35 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 292592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April, I want to steal your wardrobe.</p> <p>That is all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-your-year-ago-look#post-292583 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 14:34:30 +0000 Kristine 292583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cilleena, that's kind of amazing in only a month, you look great! I love your new "edge"! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-your-year-ago-look#post-292572 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 13:38:24 +0000 anne 292572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Cileena - that is a big difference! Well done </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-your-year-ago-look#post-292570 Sat, 05 Feb 2011 13:29:19 +0000 Cilleena 292570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I haven't been here a year or even close to it, but I already see a difference in my style. I actually feel like I look more like "me" now than I did in my first WIW. Oh and I "though" I was pretty dressed up in the first photo. I learned how to use the self timer with my better camera too...that made a HUGE difference...haha.<br /> First photo was for a New Year's Eve party and the second was just for doing errands...one month later. I still need work, but I think its coming along. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-your-year-ago-look#post-292320 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 21:51:30 +0000 April 292320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. I'm not sure I've changed that much since a year ago. (Now, since three years ago -- major leaps, but I wasn't taking photos then.)</p> <p>Here are some photos from last year. We did a Challenge Chain, and Legacy of Pearl challenged me to mix some of my new birthday goodies in with things I already had to create outfits for (I think) tea or brunch with friends; giving a talk at a meeting; walking the dog. (Look, Paige -- I'm wearing your shoes!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-your-year-ago-look#post-292213 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 16:38:01 +0000 Vani 292213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know if I've come too long a way as I documented a lot more of my outfits only in the first half of last year but here goes. I have as much fun with fashion but I feel like I am really branching out take more risks now, still feeling more and more comfortable in my skin. For example, flat oxfords are something I wouldn't have ever imagined myself wearing when I started here at YLF but short dress+BF jacket/long cardi+leggings+flat oxfords has become my go-to outfit for looking sharp and on trend while still being comfortable (unfortunately no pictures!).</p> <p>Pics:<br /> Feb 2, 2010 -&gt; Trying skinnies + heels<br /> Feb 3, 2010 -&gt; Layering long sleeves top under shorter sleeve jacket was a cool revelation<br /> May 7, 2010 -&gt; Loving crossbody bags and jeggings<br /> June 1, 2010 -&gt; Embracing the eighties with this jacket<br /> Aug 11, 2010 -&gt; Copycat-ed Angie!<br /> Oct 8, 2010 -&gt; First outing of the two-toned brogues<br /> Dec 2010 -&gt; Totally digging harem pants </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-your-year-ago-look#post-292212 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 16:37:44 +0000 Sarah 292212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are two from around this time last year.<br /> Photo 1: I still have the top, but the skirt was consigned because it got too big.<br /> Photo 2: Still have the dress but haven't worn it since.<br /> I'd say my style is fairly similar. Probably more refined and "complete" now? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-your-year-ago-look#post-292203 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 15:48:03 +0000 Queen Mum 292203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I couldn't find many pictures from a year ago, but I think this one was from last January. This jacket has sense been voted off the island, and the sweater has been donated as well.<br /> Second picture is what I'm wearing today, but my hair looks a bit better today (I think this pic was taken the morning of my last haircut)<br /> I honeslty think I have just as many misses now as I did a year ago... I just recognize them and don't post them... LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-your-year-ago-look#post-292198 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 15:39:12 +0000 anne 292198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does anyone else have their computer freeze up when they try to post photos!??? I will try again to edit my post above and put the pics in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-your-year-ago-look#post-292159 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 09:05:27 +0000 Sally 292159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow. I agree that the most dramatic change has been Kristine.<br /> Great to see all the different styles. A good encouragement to keep your outfits catologued....would be interesting to look over in years to come. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-your-year-ago-look#post-292155 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 07:42:51 +0000 anne 292155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been on YLF for almost 3 years now, so I don't think there is a big change in a year<br /> 1. About a year ago<br /> 2. My most recent photo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-your-year-ago-look#post-292142 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 06:37:58 +0000 CocoLion 292142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ, if you are checking back on this thread... you look AMAZING in both years' Christmas Party and Kids' Recital outfits! Just stunning, you really know how to dress for a dressier event. </p> <p>To me the most dramatic change has come from Kristine.</p> <p>Chewyspag you look cute in both outfits but your recent look is more sophisticated.</p> <p>(I haven't been here a year so I don't have any photos from a year ago.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-your-year-ago-look#post-292136 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 06:28:39 +0000 Jenava 292136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, love this post! Here's mine:</p> <p>Today<br /> <a href="http://outfitdiary.blogspot.com/2011/02/thursday-pleated-and-new-bag.html" rel="nofollow">http://outfitdiary.blogspot.co.....w-bag.html</a></p> <p>Approx one year ago (I was working on in the AM and not posting pics as regularly):<br /> <a href="http://outfitdiary.blogspot.com/2010/02/saturday-study-group.html" rel="nofollow">http://outfitdiary.blogspot.co.....group.html</a></p> <p>I've gained weight, so some of my clothes from last year don't fit any more!</p> <p>But, I do think my style has evolved. I started taking photos in March 2008. I am not really sure why I feel so compelled to keep doing it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-your-year-ago-look#post-292110 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 03:45:55 +0000 Kate 292110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I wasn't posting full outfits yet, but a year ago I was trying to decide whether to keep these sweaters (and my hair was a lot longer!) I was also wearing boots that were a bit too big in the calves :(</p> <p>Now I only have one chunky knit sweater and new boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-your-year-ago-look#post-292084 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 02:29:34 +0000 puffenstuff 292084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh I love seeing the transformations. Here are mine and I just realised that I'm a veteran now (does that mean I have to act like a grown up - hope not!) so I've been posting for just over a year.</p> <p>#1 - Baggy black t-shirt, ill-fitting jeans, belt sloppily hanging down. I thought at that stage if I chuck on a necklace that everything else would look better! I think the only redeeming feature is the handbag. Blah I dont like looking at this now....</p> <p>#2 - Recentish photo. I really like this outfit, feel comfortable in it and I've learned how to use accesories and what colors best suit me. Much happier </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-your-year-ago-look#post-292074 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 02:20:42 +0000 AJ 292074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Khris, besides the physical changes in your figure, your hair, glasses and accessories are polished and chic. The first picture is cute, but the second is wowza! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-your-year-ago-look#post-292070 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 02:15:20 +0000 AJ 292070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry for the picture happy post, but I just couldn't decide if my style has changed much in a year.</p> <p>1) Black swiss dot dress worn in Feb. 2010<br /> 2) Same dress worn last month.</p> <p>3) What I wore for Christmas party in Dec. 2009.<br /> 4) Christmas party 2010</p> <p>5) Kids' winter recital 2009<br /> 6) Kids' winter recital 2010</p> <p>I don't know...I think I'm stagnant. I still accessorize, layer and choose bold prints the same. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-your-year-ago-look#post-292057 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 01:48:30 +0000 Kristine 292057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Khris, you look great in your before AND after!</p> <p>I guess I've changed a lot in this year, it's definitely been the most dramatic style change of my life. The first photo is about a year ago, the first photo I posted here. It took a lot of effort to even put it together.</p> <p>Photo #2 is this morning as I was leaving for work (something about the pants was driving me crazy, so I changed them, but this is the general idea). Probably the most dramatic difference in my life is JACKETS! I didn't own a single one this time last year, now I must have five or six. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-your-year-ago-look#post-292056 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 01:44:56 +0000 rae 292056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun topic -- great transition for you!</p> <p>Here's my earliest photo from last year -- before I started posting WIWs. Pardon the cat butts. </p> <p>Number 2 is my most recent WIW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-your-year-ago-look#post-292054 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 01:42:04 +0000 MNsara 292054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Khris, - you have definitely found your style groove! I love your current outfit, hair and glasses.</p> <p>It really is a process isn't it? I have quite a large amount of YLF clothes from one year ago that I've already lost interest in wearing. Partly because I hadn't (and still haven't fully) found my personal style groove then. . .</p> <p>Congrats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-your-year-ago-look#post-292042 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 00:51:14 +0000 annagybe 292042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well although I've been a member for over 2 years I only started posting outfits 7 months ago.<br /> Here's my first WIW</p> <p><a href="http://s1025.photobucket.com/albums/y312/annagybe/going%20out/" rel="nofollow">http://s1025.photobucket.com/a.....ing%20out/</a></p> <p>Still have all the items and those are leather leggings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-your-year-ago-look#post-292028 Fri, 04 Feb 2011 00:18:34 +0000 Mo 292028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will have to re-create from memory an outfit since I didn't have pics back then.

A year ago I was still obviously struggling, but my recent pic got a Killer rating form Angie.<br /> Have you come a long way in the last year, too? </p>
