I had a friend in high school who used to wear the exact same hairstyle for months at a time. In year nine it was a braid and then later a bun. I remember feeling whenever I wore my hair in a bun that she kind of owned that style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silly-q-another-stylish-girl-at-work/page/2#post-981742 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 15:28:39 +0000 MsMary 981742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a story with a happy ending!</p> <p>*happy sigh* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silly-q-another-stylish-girl-at-work/page/2#post-981675 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 14:15:55 +0000 goldenpig 981675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great update!

Hooray for women being a team rather than competition!!! :D</p> <p>I was going to say - imagine Marilyn Monroe in a pencil skirt, then imagine Audrey Hepburn in a pencil skirt.

The world did not implode. In fact, one of our staff commented how nice it was to have residents who dressed nicely. :)<br />- She does have flare skirts she said she doesn't like to wear around me, because then when she does, people say, "Oh, a Lyn skirt." So we made a pact to wear more pencil skirts (me) and flare skirts (her).</p> <p>The Quirky Heathers sound AWESOME. BelVita biscuits are nom nom nom!</p> <p>@ Glory - I had my childhood bedroom plastered with Legolas posters. My parents used to make fun of the amount of time it would take me to take them down. Joke's on them! I just moved out </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silly-q-another-stylish-girl-at-work#post-981102 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 22:00:20 +0000 rachylou 981102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, Julie. Rather like. Except obviously they are Cool Heathers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silly-q-another-stylish-girl-at-work#post-981068 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 21:11:02 +0000 Nicole D 981068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wouldn't it be funny if she had a closet full of fit and flare dresses that she only wears when you are not around? &nbsp;Very Fringe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silly-q-another-stylish-girl-at-work#post-981066 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 21:09:09 +0000 Glory 981066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha Lyn - if you lived in my house I can promise you would know who One Direction is. How many posters can fit on one wall - well over 600 eyeballs worth..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silly-q-another-stylish-girl-at-work#post-981063 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 21:04:44 +0000 RoseandJoan 981063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy, you mean this? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silly-q-another-stylish-girl-at-work#post-980910 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 18:41:48 +0000 rachylou 980910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So this is a feeling I understand. For me it's a "get your own life, let's not be tweedle dee and tweedle dum" feeling.</p> <p>But I once knew this guy (we call him the flat-liner, don't ask) who dated a girl who took hours to dress and made them late to the charity ball. Well, when they got there, she saw another girl in the same dress and wanted to go home. She got whiny and he got mean.</p> <p>Anyways, let me say there's ettiquette for this. When this happens, there's nothing for it - don't waste time on going home or avoiding each other - form a club. This is the correct thing to do. And I'm not kidding either. You should take a picture together.</p> <p>Sadly me and my neighbor form the Quirky Heathers, wearing Japanese dollar store ear warmers, eating BelVita biscuits, and sporting aprons outside. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silly-q-another-stylish-girl-at-work#post-980509 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 04:09:53 +0000 Adelfa 980509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course you can wear pencil skirts around her.</p> <p>To take a slightly different tack--sometimes when I'm around people who wear looks that I wear, and wear them well, it makes me feel a bit contrary. It makes me want to wear an entirely different look. &nbsp;Sort of change things up and show I can look good in another way. Does that make any sense? So Business Bombshell wears a pencil skirt, you're like Well I can rock a flared skirt. This is likely just me but I thought I'd share! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silly-q-another-stylish-girl-at-work#post-980445 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 02:14:06 +0000 FlorenceFearne 980445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course I agree that no one has the market cornered on pencil skirts, and that anyone can wear whatever they like, regardless of what someone else may have on. But I don't want to take the tone of,&nbsp;"well, you're being silly; just quit feeling like that." </p> <p>I think the issue isn't whether you look fab to someone else (I'm sure you do,) but that you're so worried about one area that you lose faith in the look.&nbsp;Maybe you could consider some of the suggestions made by&nbsp;Mona and Anna to&nbsp;make the style your own, until&nbsp;you&nbsp;feel so confident that you really don't care what that other girl has on. For example, if you're worried about the way your tummy looks, how about a peplum top that skims over the area, or even an asymetric/waterfall cardigan, that allows your derriere/legs/shape to show, but covers your front?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silly-q-another-stylish-girl-at-work#post-980431 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 01:57:10 +0000 goldenpig 980431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could understand if it's the exact same piece (like a uniquely patterned dress) not wanting to wear it if she does, but a whole category of clothes? Don't let someone else's fashion choices dictate what you will or won't wear! I think you are too sensitive about other people's and your own appearance. Trust me, your tummy is svelte! And physical appearances are not contagious. I think you said before you wouldn't wear something if you saw someone older or fatter wearing it, right? Would you not wear something if you saw me wear it? Because I'm older and fatter than you, LOL!</p> <p>Wear your fab wardrobe with pride! Anyways, she probably is the one admiring (or even intimidated by) your style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silly-q-another-stylish-girl-at-work#post-980423 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 01:49:31 +0000 pil 980423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She is not the boss of the pencil skirt - her body simply wears them in a different way. You look terrific in them and make them yours with your own unique style. You can do this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silly-q-another-stylish-girl-at-work#post-980416 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 01:45:37 +0000 Mochi 980416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Zap said. I can add a third issue, where you stopped wearing clothes that you saw overweight people wearing. Seriously, you will be much happier if you can get over these things. You look great in all your clothes so don't worry about other people!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silly-q-another-stylish-girl-at-work#post-980408 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 01:37:29 +0000 Jaime 980408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After you do it once or twice you will never give it another thought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silly-q-another-stylish-girl-at-work#post-980300 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 22:26:27 +0000 rae 980300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, your new homework assignment is to wear a pencil skirt around her. You look too fab in them to stop for anyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silly-q-another-stylish-girl-at-work#post-980276 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 21:51:48 +0000 lyn* 980276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think knowing that I shouldn't be affected by people around me is different than actually not being affected by people around me ... :p But I get what you're saying.</p> <p>lol, I know who Twiggy and Cindy Crawford are - I'm not that young. I do also know who Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian are! HAHA. Pop culture is part of my job. I'm still trying to figure out who One Direction are, though! :p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silly-q-another-stylish-girl-at-work#post-980273 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 21:47:36 +0000 kkards 980273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn. Please remember that fashion is not a contact sport, it's not a competition. No one else is keeping score, and you shouldn't be other. </p>
