The black felt kind that has a narrow brim that goes all the way around, and tips downward in the front and up at the back (a trilby?). It looks like something Johnny Depp might wear. I marched around Granville Island last weekend with my family wearing the hat with my new short hair, a black and white striped above-knee skirt, and Victorian button boots, and managed to not feel like a soccer mom. Go mom style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-fab-fearless-moments-here#post-436220 Tue, 04 Oct 2011 01:09:32 +0000 Janet 436220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This top was a leap for me -- and I felt fab and fearless wearing it on my bday!</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sparkly-top-for-bday-dinner-help" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....inner-help</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-fab-fearless-moments-here#post-436194 Tue, 04 Oct 2011 00:50:39 +0000 anne 436194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This top<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-shopping-trip#" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ping-trip#</a><br /> (pic 1) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-fab-fearless-moments-here#post-436191 Tue, 04 Oct 2011 00:47:50 +0000 rae 436191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White skinnies/denim leggings worn out of the house - and hubs still loves 'em. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-fab-fearless-moments-here#post-436147 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 23:55:01 +0000 CocoLion 436147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Posting unflattering pictures of myself in red ankle grazing pants.

Before YLF I wore an animal print sheath to work and covered it in a big boyfriend sweater due to my fear. Maybe I'll bring it out this year and really show it off. I need to wear more sequins like @Laura. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-fab-fearless-moments-here#post-436137 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 23:45:35 +0000 Suz 436137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wearing a mini skirt with tights and boots for the first time in my life at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. At the age of 53. Stay posted; I will check with you all eventually to see that the age appropriateness police don't have something to say to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-fab-fearless-moments-here#post-436109 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 23:14:30 +0000 D'Ellen 436109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last winter I bought a pair of sleek heeled booties...and wore them with tights... and a skirt...to work...gasp! The first time I thought "should I really be doing this", but I felt so fab I did it again, and again. No one commented, or looked at me funny, or anything. OK, I'm 60 and I've led a sheltered fashion life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-fab-fearless-moments-here#post-436069 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 22:43:40 +0000 Queen Mum 436069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wearing microfishnets to church.

I would love to wear a cape, but I don't have the guts for it. So I love you post Una! And Angie's bikini post is amazing.</p> <p>It is embarrassing, but my fearless moment was wearing skinny jeans with a blazer to work for the first time a few weeks ago. :-/ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-fab-fearless-moments-here#post-436028 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 22:00:52 +0000 Laura 436028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wearing sequins to a second grade soccer game! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-fab-fearless-moments-here#post-436024 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 21:51:47 +0000 ironkurtin 436024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>- I wore a VPL bandeau top, that is meant to be seen, under a fairly sheer tunic, and I actually went out in public - and felt awesome.</p> <p>- I wore skinnies in LA with a shirt that didn't cover my tush and felt 100% amazingly well dressed.</p> <p>- It was just too freaking hot, so I took off my pants and just wore a mid-thigh tunic with gladiator sandals. And I looked GREAT!</p> <p>- I wore a lovely sundress to a party, which I never do (I love pants) and my husband actually commented on me looking nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-fab-fearless-moments-here#post-436023 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 21:50:56 +0000 Samar 436023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Angie, I remember that bikini post. I was so surprised that you felt scared about it, since you looked LOVELY (as usual) but it was a good reminder that we ALL have our comfort zones!</p> <p>Mine was wearing a poncho (?) with skinny jeans! Good heavens, that is fashion-forward for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-fab-fearless-moments-here#post-435998 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 21:26:38 +0000 Angie 435998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE THIS!!

YLF has been a huge influence in that regard! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-fab-fearless-moments-here#post-435960 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 20:46:31 +0000 Anonymous 435960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This weekend I wore my opera length pearls out shopping for new tops. I wanted to find tops that I could actually wear pearls with so I just put them on and walked out the door!<br /> Such a simple act made me cower in fear that people would look and me and think, "Who does she think she is? The First Lady? Puh-lease!"<br /> Love your cape story and can't wait to see the pics; and with gloves! Divine! You go, Una. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-fab-fearless-moments-here#post-435942 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 20:16:45 +0000 Sylvie 435942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore a dress to work two weeks ago, with bare legs, for the first time in my life.</p> <p>Last week I wore lilac, studded four inch platform heel ankle boots to work, but since they were covered by my jeans, they don't really count.</p> <p>Things that are now "old hat" but required some courage at first:</p> <p>Wearing a dress to casual social events<br /> Leopard print sleeveless blouse<br /> Wearing a woven sleeveless blouse to work </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-fab-fearless-moments-here#post-435918 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 20:00:18 +0000 annagybe 435918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Posting leather short shorts on the forum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-fab-fearless-moments-here#post-435911 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 19:57:12 +0000 Mo 435911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, I've got one - training in my hot pink triathlon shorts at the local park where everyone else was in a regular swimsuit. I did overhear a lady say to her friend I looked like a muppet LOL. My thought was, at least I'm out here biking and swimming laps while you're sitting in a chair being as inanimate as the chair itself instead of being active and playing with your kids! Yeah, a little snarky but it was all in my head, and she said hers out loud - harumph! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-fab-fearless-moments-here#post-435905 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 19:51:39 +0000 Nakidra 435905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Picture please of the cape, dear Una! Sounds fab! </p> <p>Hmmmm I'll have to think about my fearless moment.... I've had many over the years. There has been many times when I get werido looks from people because of what I have on, where I second guess what I have on because it could be seen as too muc, where I've worn blue and black together and get a second glance. </p> <p>What about the time when I worn bell-bottoms in the 80's when they weren't retro or cool? They were cool for me and I felt great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/share-your-fab-fearless-moments-here#post-435885 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 19:13:25 +0000 catgirl 435885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And for those who didn't read them in the other thread, some quotes on fashion - I'm sure Mark Twain, Teddy Roosevelt etc. were talking about things. :)</p> <p>“Courage is simply the willingness to be afraid and act anyway.”</p> <p>“The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice, it is conformity.”</p> <p>"Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.”</p> <p>“Each time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing.”</p> <p>“The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure.”</p> <p>“If we're growing, we're always going to be out of our comfort zone.” </p>
