Angie had recommended them specifically for petities who were looking for a "boyfriend" look without being overwhelmed, and they worked out so famously that I'm still wearing them regularly even though they've kind of gotten to be too big on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchases-made-as-a-direct-result-of-ylf/page/2#post-430910 Tue, 27 Sep 2011 00:50:45 +0000 Anonymous 430910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been a member of YLF for about a year and lurking for a couple of years and I haven't made any influenced purchases until just this week end and I am a little bit upset about it.</p> <p>I used to really like a pair of boots I wore last winter but I can't wear them without cringing because they gap so much around the calf, and that's with jeans tucked. : (</p> <p>I don't know if boots are out there that will fit but I just ordered two pair so we'll see. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchases-made-as-a-direct-result-of-ylf/page/2#post-430883 Tue, 27 Sep 2011 00:11:45 +0000 Laura 430883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ummmm ... everything in my closet? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchases-made-as-a-direct-result-of-ylf/page/2#post-430868 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 23:39:13 +0000 catgirl 430868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried to stay away from this thread because it's just going to give me ideas of more things I "need" thanks to YLF! Just about everything I've kept over the past year has been YLF influenced... Notably black, red, and cobalt skinnies, cognac Fryes, Nine West dress, Halogen skirt, leopard print Zara blouse, belts, microfishnets, Hinge peacock blouse, Joe's Jeans (thanks Lisa!). </p> <p>That's not counting the damage I'm able to do on my own at Allsaints and Zappos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchases-made-as-a-direct-result-of-ylf/page/2#post-430862 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 23:29:25 +0000 Samar 430862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Frye boots. I've never been so convinced by a glowing recommendation.</p> <p>And skinny jeans (I would never have dared). Yeah, I know, really daring (like 5 years behind the times). But for me, a big step! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchases-made-as-a-direct-result-of-ylf/page/2#post-430839 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 23:03:01 +0000 Sylvie 430839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gap skinny jeans<br /> FS cognac boots from the YLF store<br /> Black v-neck cardigan from this year's NAS (after seeing everyone buy cardigans last year)<br /> CE yellow/black ruffle top from this year's NAS list</p> <p>Then of course there's the items YLF has helped me decide whether to keep or return. Also the NAS lists have introduced me to Nordstrom's brands/departments and I never used to shop there before. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchases-made-as-a-direct-result-of-ylf/page/2#post-430829 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 22:49:41 +0000 Carole 430829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmmm.

Off the top of my head...</p> <p>Stuart Weitzman Giveable flats<br /> Boutique 9 oxfords<br /> LB denim moto jacket<br /> Turquoise Nordstrom beads </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchases-made-as-a-direct-result-of-ylf#post-430272 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 01:34:39 +0000 Jonesy 430272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say Gap skinny black pants and BR Martin pants, off the top of my head. Overall, the introduction to Nordstrom and the Rack have been the biggest changes via YLF. I did shop at those stores before, but never very often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchases-made-as-a-direct-result-of-ylf#post-430254 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 01:18:57 +0000 nancylee 430254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. So so many YLF influences in my wardrobe. Here are a few:</p> <p>Paige Hidden Hills (dark denim and WHITE...yay!)<br /> classic black cigarette pants<br /> Frye boots (two pair)<br /> Angie-approved Nordstrom long-strand pearls<br /> Cole Haan tan loafers (from the NAS)<br /> woven blouses<br /> dolman sleeve blouse<br /> tweed blazer<br /> military jacket<br /> cropped denim jacket<br /> faux fur vest</p> <p>My wardrobe is super happy because of YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchases-made-as-a-direct-result-of-ylf#post-430205 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 23:59:49 +0000 lynn 430205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still don't know how to post a picture (I know!) but today I wore the dress I got through the YLF store...it's blue, sleeveless with a full skirt. I felt so good in it! It's still hot here so I was okay in a cotton dress. YLF has changed my eye, therefore my shopping, so much. Thanks to all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchases-made-as-a-direct-result-of-ylf#post-430157 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 21:53:16 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 430157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As far as specific items, I think it's only the red espadrille wedges from Target that I believe I first saw on someone's WIW. There's been /tons/ of more general inspirations and things along that line. I agree with QM that you have to be careful and not get 'over-inspired' in the sense that I've tried on some things I've loved on others, but they just don't work on me. It's easy to get caught up in everyone's enthusiasm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchases-made-as-a-direct-result-of-ylf#post-430101 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 19:01:54 +0000 Ginny 430101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say<br /> skinny jeans!!! I don't know if I would have even thought I could pull them off without YLF and all the way the ladies here style them to give me a clue!<br /> More girly shoes and flats worn with almost anything, and Dolamn sleeves tops and<br /> Boots!! my new grey ones!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchases-made-as-a-direct-result-of-ylf#post-430093 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 18:37:09 +0000 Kyle 430093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skinny jeans, boots and cropped denim jackets have become important to my wardrobe as a result of YLF. I also have found that the store is a fantastic and valuable resource. You really can't go wrong with an Angie-endorsed item, and I have more than a few. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchases-made-as-a-direct-result-of-ylf#post-430037 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 16:34:49 +0000 MsMary 430037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, so many!! Off the top of my head, some recent ones:</p> <p>White NY&amp;Co. blazer, which has been my number one summer workhorse *waving at Queen Mum*<br /> Nine West "magic dress" in two colors<br /> Halogen pencil skirt in five colors<br /> Frye Rory boots in three colors<br /> Hinge floral print blouse modeled by Bei Jing<br /> AT faux fur vest<br /> Target chambray shirt<br /> Halogen leather pencil skirt<br /> Elliott Lucca chocolate tote, which I got at the NAS after Marianna posted a link to the top items from the sale<br /> Gap navy blazer, which I bought along with several other YLFers at the Pasadena meetup<br /> Oroblu nude microfishnets<br /> Target silk Missoni scarf, which Una was kind enough to ship to me and which arrived yesterday!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchases-made-as-a-direct-result-of-ylf#post-430036 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 16:31:27 +0000 Makrame 430036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Queen Mum, yes, that totally makes sense. I try to keep the "peer pressure" in mind, too, and make sure something would be appropriate for my lifestyle etc. Otherwise it is easy to be lured by the wonderful looks that others have put together for their body shape/style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchases-made-as-a-direct-result-of-ylf#post-430011 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 15:52:39 +0000 Lisa 430011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My gosh, a number of items in my closet are a result of YLF members posting them first or from Angie's picks. I can't list them all but here are a few:<br /> -Chantelle bras<br /> -Shimera boyshorts<br /> -Spanx Hose<br /> -Joe's and Hudson's jeans (no premium denim in my closet prior to YLF)<br /> -Halogen lace trim tanks<br /> -Hinge Peacock Print Blouse (Una has the same one, thanks Una)<br /> -Frye Carmen Short back lace boots (Angie NAS pick)<br /> -Cole Haan wine colored oxfords (during a YLF gathering)<br /> -ATL Printed Scarf (Kari has the same one, thanks Kari)<br /> -Wearing scarves in general (I never wore them prior to YLF)<br /> -Gibson One Button Blazer (YLF store item)<br /> -ATL Navy Blazer (during a YLF gathering)<br /> -Zara Black with blue trim blazer (during YLF gathering)<br /> -Halogen Black Shirtdress (Aida has the same one, thanks Aida)<br /> -Wearing blazers in general (Again never wore prior to YLF)<br /> -Halogen BF Cardigans</p> <p>That's all I can remember right now. I know there is more.</p> <p>Interesting to note, shopping at AT and Nordstrom, stores I used to avoid and now are my "go to" stores </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchases-made-as-a-direct-result-of-ylf#post-429991 Sun, 25 Sep 2011 15:16:37 +0000 Mo 429991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me, it's more a trend I will try, not an actual item. Maybe just my skinny black J Brands are something that, brand for brand, I've picked up on recommendation. Otherwise, it's more generalized - a flyaway cardi or cage heeled sandals or cognac boots. I'm more interested in finding a really good deal than having a certain exact brand someone else has worn here! </p>
