I hate this. It's very school playground.&gt;&gt;</p> <p>I love this quotation, because fashion is too often used as a tool to put other people down but blogs like YLF show that style can also bring out the kindest and most supportive in folks, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-related-quotations#post-139305 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 17:57:14 +0000 Kristine 139305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"To be beautiful, all a woman needs is a black pullover and a black skirt and to be arm in arm with a man she loves."</p> <p>-Yves St. Laurent</p> <p>I read this one when I was a teenager and it stuck with me, which is funny because I actually don't agree with most of it. I hardly ever wear black and definitely don't think you need a man around to be beautiful.
