I've been here almost a year &amp; have been working to get my wardrobe &nbsp;in a state where I'm happy with everything. I've still got a ways to go, but it is so much better than it was this time last year. Just last week I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome &amp; it has been so nice to know that while I may be barely standing, I feel good in my clothes while doing it. After hearing my diagnosis, people say, "but you look good."&nbsp;<br /><br />That's a testament to Angie &amp; all you wonderful YLFers. Thanks. Take care MaryK.&nbsp;<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-most-awesome-thing-about-a-nice-wardrobe/page/2#post-893793 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 20:26:32 +0000 Isabel 893793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That is just the most wonderful feeling, isn't it ? &nbsp;To be able to think to yourself, " I don't know what I am going to wear, but I know it is in my closet and I will look good.

I have only been on here for 6 months and have learned so much. &nbsp;The timing for me was perfect as I started my blog, came out of the deep&nbsp;stage of mourning the loss of my mother, had lost a big chunk of my weight gain, etc... I was at a tipping point of taking care of myself after having put myself on the back burner to be a caregiver to my mother for 5 years... Creating a wardrobe that I love, reading what everyone here is doing, getting positive feedback and wisdom from this community has propelled me through this process in a huge way! &nbsp; So thank you to everyone!<br /><br />AS for you, Mary K, &nbsp;I look forward to each of your WIW's which always put a smile on my face as I think, "She nailed it!" &nbsp; Congrats on your success in taking care of yourself and having this cushion in your life!!!! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-most-awesome-thing-about-a-nice-wardrobe#post-893348 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 12:19:05 +0000 Jjsloane 893348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hugs right back at you!

I'm so happy it's there for you right now, making you feel fab and confident that you can handle whatever life is throwing you at the moment.

Keep your shoes polished, your hair shiny, and your chin up. You are, after all, the fabulous MaryK--inspiration to all of us on YLF ;)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-most-awesome-thing-about-a-nice-wardrobe#post-893203 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 04:19:24 +0000 Deborah 893203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Mary, this is an incredibly moving post. I challenge anyone who thinks 'dressing' and clothes are frivolous. &nbsp;I am thrilled that you wardrobe 'has been there for you" supporting you, meeting your need and giving you one less things to worry about at what is a difficult time for you. &nbsp;I admire you for more than just you wardrobe. &nbsp;Sending you a big hug and I am holding you in my prayers as your travel through this. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-most-awesome-thing-about-a-nice-wardrobe#post-893196 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 04:10:45 +0000 Transcona Shannon 893196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ MaryK - I think it's a real testament to your own style and your wonderful purchases along the way that have resulted in your "happy closet". I'm so glad that at least getting ready in the morning doesn't add to your already stressful situation.<br /><br />BTW I strongly disagree with you about not setting the world on fire with your creativity - I ALWAYS find your outfits creative and the ensembles you put together to work with Angie's formula are nothing short of brilliant. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-most-awesome-thing-about-a-nice-wardrobe#post-893194 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 04:10:24 +0000 goldenpig 893194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You have worked so hard to curate such a wonderful wardrobe! Your wardrobe is amazing and so are you! You deserve to feel fab every day no matter what life brings you! Lots of hugs.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-most-awesome-thing-about-a-nice-wardrobe#post-893170 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 03:58:04 +0000 Caro in Oz 893170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great post. Hope things come together for you very soon.<br />I never&nbsp;underestimate the power of the right clothes:) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-most-awesome-thing-about-a-nice-wardrobe#post-893148 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 03:42:55 +0000 Nadya 893148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yea! I definitely agree. I remember when I was having a rough patch&nbsp;during one of my college years&nbsp;and my father told me "just wash your dishes every day so that you have one thing on your life that is in order." &nbsp;A small thing but it did make a difference! &nbsp;And clothing we carry with us all day, and it frames how we see ourselves and how others see us - it is much more powerful.<br /><br />hugs back, you fabulous woman! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-most-awesome-thing-about-a-nice-wardrobe#post-893138 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 03:33:02 +0000 Parsley 893138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Aww, Mary, I'm so sorry you're going through this tough time. But it is nice to get comfort where we can, and being able to look good every day even when you may barely feel able to put one foot in front of the other IS a comfort.<br /><br />Your style is always an inspiration to me; your positive energy always shines through, and that same energy is going to help you to not only get through this, but to thrive. I feel sure of it! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-most-awesome-thing-about-a-nice-wardrobe#post-893122 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 03:05:18 +0000 annagybe 893122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That's awesome! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-most-awesome-thing-about-a-nice-wardrobe#post-893121 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 03:01:12 +0000 Lantana 893121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ MaryK you have been a constant inspiration to me since I joined YLF. You have reached the point with your wardrobe that I aspire to. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-most-awesome-thing-about-a-nice-wardrobe#post-893095 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 02:47:34 +0000 Suz 893095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a wonderful post. And you are <b>so</b> right. Knowing you can dress easily and well just reduces the stress in a stressful time and makes life a whole lot better, even when things are difficult.&nbsp;<br /><br />Also, as Carolbee suggests, <b>you</b> are an inspiration for others. People see how wonderful you look, day after day, and they start to believe it's possible!! So the benefits are going more than one way here.&nbsp;
