It's an amazing place, isn't it?! I'm tickled that you mentioned me! My goodness! You have brought such a fresh energy and a fun approach to the forum. I always look forward to seeing what you are wearing. </p> <p>Kim, that is incredible and I understand what you wrote completely. </p> <p>I wasn't at home all weekend and I missed the forum a lot!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-5-reasons-i-love-ylf#post-170349 Sun, 13 Jun 2010 14:57:45 +0000 marianna 170349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF has been a healthy escape for me during my looong bout of unemployment. This forum keeps me busy and excited about life! I love this place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-5-reasons-i-love-ylf#post-170340 Sun, 13 Jun 2010 14:19:59 +0000 Beth 170340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tara, you couldn't have said it better! I love YLF for exactly those reasons, but the one thing that makes this community really stand out is the positive, supportive environment. And that comes from each and every fab poster here with the leadership of the fabbest of the fab, Angie (and Greg!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-5-reasons-i-love-ylf#post-170335 Sun, 13 Jun 2010 13:58:11 +0000 Queen Mum 170335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with everything already stated... those are all my reasons for being a true YLF addict. </p> <p>Here is what I've been thinking the past few days.. and I hope I can communicate this without sounding self absorbed.... For the first time in my life I really feel pretty and am confident in my skin and I give all the credit to YLF. It's not just because people give me nice compliments on my outfits, but I think it's because I have learned here how to dress myself to look my best. I've learned that it's okay that I cannot pull something off the way someone else can. I've begun to find my own style and that it's okay to celebrate that and not always be trying to look like someone else. I've learned that it's okay to take a risk and wear a less than fab outfit... chalk those up to a lesson learned. I am learning every day what works and what doesn't. So thank you to everyone here for making me feel like a million bucks at times and also for being honest enough to tell me when something just isn't cutting it. </p> <p>But beyond all of that, I just love the community and transparency of everyone here. I love that we all come from different corners of the globe, different walks of life, different shapes and sizes and nobody here is trying to be better than anyone else. I see nothing but intelligent vibrant women here who just want to look their best while they go through this journey of life.</p> <p>love you all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-5-reasons-i-love-ylf#post-170191 Sun, 13 Jun 2010 04:36:28 +0000 Lisa 170191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know what I can add to an already detailed and accurate listing. I find the information from both Angie with the blog posts and the forum feedback invaluable as I try to define my style, learn about fit, and streamline my shopping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-5-reasons-i-love-ylf#post-170173 Sun, 13 Jun 2010 04:11:15 +0000 Anonymous 170173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tara, I agree with everything you said and you expressed it so well...the courage to try new style ideas, to use old items in new ways, inspiration from the outfits of other members, all of Angie's hard work and fantastic advice... I also love this community and "meeting" women from so many places with different lifestyles. In many ways we are alike too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-5-reasons-i-love-ylf#post-170136 Sun, 13 Jun 2010 03:02:04 +0000 Angie 170136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tara, what an endearing post. That took time and was heartfelt. I so appreciate your effort and am humbled to inspire you in some small way. Thanks for joining our forum and for gracing it with your fabulous style. As you are inspired - know that you inspire others just as much :0)</p> <p>Tanya, HUG YOU!</p> <p>April, I hope to always stylishly look after those who have fussy feet. I was cut from the same cloth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-5-reasons-i-love-ylf#post-170066 Sun, 13 Jun 2010 00:29:33 +0000 April 170066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In addition to all those excellent reasons, I can't say how much I appreciate Angie's steering us toward comfortable, stylish shoes. They are so hard to find in the real world that I am eternally grateful when shoe recommendations show up on the site! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-5-reasons-i-love-ylf#post-170061 Sun, 13 Jun 2010 00:21:48 +0000 Tanya 170061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww, what a sweet post Tara! Everything you said, and much much more! I have to run now, but will come back and post a more detailed response later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-5-reasons-i-love-ylf#post-170059 Sun, 13 Jun 2010 00:19:32 +0000 Tara 170059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone!</p> <p>I just love YLF. I thought I'd put together some reasons for why I love it so much:</p> <p>1) Fantastic inspiration from the lovely ladies on the forum. I love to check out all your outfits, and to see you all wearing things in a way I wouldn't have considered. It's really fun watching someone's style journey. A special shout-out here to st4grrl, Rosie, greenglove...and of course Angie. The style I see on you ladies inspires me sooo much and I look forward to seeing your posts! There's heaps more but these spring to mind right now.</p> <p>2) It inspires and motivates me to be creative and different. Knowing I can use the forum as a souding board and knowing I'll get positive and constructive feedback on ideas makes me more motivated to try new things.</p> <p>3) It has resurrected many of my wardrobe orphans. I have found so many new ways to wear clothes I had gotten bored of - mainly through layering them and adding accessories to make them more interesting. This includes tops I had given up on, bags, shoes etc. that I now look forward to wearing because they work in a particular combo.</p> <p>4) Really interesting and relevant blog topics. A BIG shout out to Angie here who clearly puts in a huge amount of work. I love coming into work or getting home in the evening to find a new nugget of priceless information and ideas on the blog. Some of my fave posts are your own outfit posts Angie, your spunky and daring style has motivated me to be more daring as well. And those colour combos...wow! But what makes it so fun for me is that I can actually see myself trying some of the looks. Where I used to be a bemused onlooker of fashion and style, I am now willing to step out and try some of it for myself! So, thank you!</p> <p>5) Encouragement, support and community. I know when I post something there'll be some nice and useful replies, and always encouragement. I love that people share something of themselves on here, takig it from just a forum on fashion and style to a community where fashion and style intersect with life.</p> <p>So, over to you ladies: why do you love YLF? </p>
