He has commented that he believes I'm now making smarter purchases and have a better strike rate with selecting clothes and accessories that flatter me. I would say that financially we are not any worse off with my involvement here than before I discovered YLF. In contrast with the past, I'm now prepared to wait for that perfect piece and go home empty handed after a shopping expedition, rather than buying five items that I'm unhappy with after the first wear. I think my hubby is also more supportive because he understands that I really lack having friends who share my interest in fashion and looking great! I only have brothers and I have sons. My SIL's and majority of friends are not interested at all in fashion <sigh>. Discovering the forum has been marvellous and has been so incredibly inspiring! I always look forward to coming here every day and seeing what everyone has been wearing. anne on "What does your SO think of YLF?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-so-think-of-ylf#post-263960 Fri, 10 Dec 2010 01:57:29 +0000 anne 263960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't think my DH is all that impressed, especially if I am on the computer too much or spent too much on clothes. I don't talk about it much to him al all, and never about the style side of YLF. But I think he might be glad that I don't drag him out on shopping expeditions any more to help me make my mind up on what to get, as his patience for those was pretty limited!

He equates it with spending money! And because he works (most of the time) out-of-state he doesn't really realize (yet) how much it has influenced (in a positive way!) my shopping habits. kellygirl on "What does your SO think of YLF?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-so-think-of-ylf#post-263845 Thu, 09 Dec 2010 23:03:43 +0000 kellygirl 263845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What Tricia said! I think the whole family thinks I'm a dork for taking photos. DH probably wonders why I am buying clothes when he sees me in gear (after the gym) before he goes to work and then back in sweats/loungewear when he gets home from work.

But he loves that he doesn't have to give an opinion anymore, he always defers to "what did the girls think?" Barbara on "What does your SO think of YLF?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-so-think-of-ylf#post-263698 Thu, 09 Dec 2010 17:33:05 +0000 Barbara 263698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Exactly, Isabel. I too enjoy the ease with everyone here. It's always a fun, positive and informative experience.

My husband finds it REALLY out of character for me ! I am VERY cautious: I track my entire family's credit reports to check for ID theft, I have a million passwords, I never give out info on the web, I don't even participate on other sites that I like, not even news sites....it is kinda funny. I just feel so at ease with the women here and have no guard up. Tricia on "What does your SO think of YLF?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-so-think-of-ylf#post-263677 Thu, 09 Dec 2010 16:59:35 +0000 Tricia 263677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My husband thinks I'm a dork for taking/posting pictures, and he has noticed that I buy more clothes, but I don't think he thinks about it much beyond that. He has a lot of hobbies that require the buying of gadgets, and I didn't have anything like that for a long time, so he thinks it's nice that I'm doing more for myself. Barbara on "What does your SO think of YLF?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-so-think-of-ylf#post-263671 Thu, 09 Dec 2010 16:50:39 +0000 Barbara 263671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My hubby may do a little eye-rolling when it comes to fashion in general, but he knows how passionate I've always been about it. When I have the laptop, it's YLF time! He has noticed my recent scarf addiction and has even complimented the resulting fab outfits! biscuitsmom on "What does your SO think of YLF?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-so-think-of-ylf#post-263658 Thu, 09 Dec 2010 16:40:00 +0000 biscuitsmom 263658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ DH is glad I found this site..it stops my asking him all the time! lol...Biscuit is not as thrilled...'why are you NOT paying attention to ME???' lol...

We'll just keep that a secret, won't we?

Teah refers to it as Mummys Website and can be quite cross when it's not changed to Scooby Doo within 30 seconds flat. Emmy likes to sit on my knee and place finger prints all over my profile pic. marianna on "What does your SO think of YLF?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-so-think-of-ylf#post-263497 Thu, 09 Dec 2010 06:14:26 +0000 marianna 263497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I've never asked my SO but I think he thinks it's great. I've made friends via YLF and it's all positive. He's not a huge fan of taking pictures for me, but he obliges anyway. taylor on "What does your SO think of YLF?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-so-think-of-ylf#post-263455 Thu, 09 Dec 2010 04:41:40 +0000 taylor 263455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My hubby isn't at all surprised I am involved in a fashion website..he even happily takes my (out of focus) pictures:) gotta love him, he tries:) Maya on "What does your SO think of YLF?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-so-think-of-ylf#post-263448 Thu, 09 Dec 2010 04:34:00 +0000 Maya 263448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't have a SO, but this thread made me realize I now have yet another requirement (as if I weren't picky enough): If my SO does not approve of my YLF habit, it's a total dealbreaker. Oh dear, I'm destined to be a spinster. AJ on "What does your SO think of YLF?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-so-think-of-ylf#post-263358 Thu, 09 Dec 2010 02:41:45 +0000 AJ 263358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So at dinner tonight I thought I'd ask everyone what they thought, just to make sure I was correct in my earlier reply. ds#2 : "Waste of time." (This answer surprised me.) "I'm not interested in fashion at all." LOL! So then I explained that I wasn't asking about his interest in the forum, but what he thought of MY involvement with the forum. "Oh, it's a fun way to interact with other people." : ) dd: "I think looking pretty is a good idea!" hubby: "It helps my wife to look pretty." ds#1: (Shrugs shoulders) Hmmm...typical tween response. : ) Steph on "What does your SO think of YLF?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-so-think-of-ylf#post-263338 Thu, 09 Dec 2010 02:17:52 +0000 Steph 263338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Mine doesn't have an opinion on YLF, except when I am trying on several new items of clothing and asking what he thinks. I can be pretty incessant with questions, and I will try on things over and over and over. He's patient (and has a good eye), but there have been a few times where he gets bored and says "why don't I take a photo and you can ask your message board people?" So I guess that means he likes YLF! ticksgirl on "What does your SO think of YLF?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-so-think-of-ylf#post-263335 Thu, 09 Dec 2010 02:12:21 +0000 ticksgirl 263335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ He thinks it's costing us a lot of money, no matter how many times I've tried to explain that it's actually saving money in the long run. It's all the buying and returning that's doing it...the Zappo's purchases in particular have come close to giving him a heart attack. But aside from that, as crwilson said above, he thinks I'm really nerdy. And I'm fine with that, because I *am* nerdy, and so is he. Reneeb on "What does your SO think of YLF?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-so-think-of-ylf#post-263313 Thu, 09 Dec 2010 01:51:53 +0000 Reneeb 263313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My hubby does not like to take the pictures and he has notice I am buying allot more clothes. But he is fine with it as long as I am happy. Kate on "What does your SO think of YLF?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-so-think-of-ylf#post-263265 Thu, 09 Dec 2010 00:43:01 +0000 Kate 263265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great question! My guy started out a bit skeptical/critical ("all the housewives are going to think you look great no matter what you wear because you're young and have a good body"), but now he sees it as an asset. I think sharing some pictures of some of your fab outfits and relaying some funny comments/threads helped win him over. Now if I ask his opinion on something he isn't sure about he'll say "I think ______, but go ask the YLF ladies" and he'll ask me later what everyone thought. He participates in a guitar and amplifier forum, and is astounded by how intelligent, supportive, and generally thoughtful YLF is in comparison. I'm not sure how many of you he actually knows by name, but he certainly knows who a couple of you are by description (as I do about some of the guys on the amp forum). Michelle on "What does your SO think of YLF?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-so-think-of-ylf#post-263262 Thu, 09 Dec 2010 00:38:33 +0000 Michelle 263262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Corey doesn't always love having to play photographer, but he's 100% supportive of YLF and my involvement here. He knows Angie's name (she's not just the fashion blog owner anymore) and has developed real respect for her taste, since she's picked out some of my best wardrobe items. He's even surfed over to the website to look around and has enjoyed some of the posts like the "mad men to casualization" one. He loves clothes himself, so in that sense he's quite empathetic. He's glad I have an online space to share one of my passions, and he recognizes that I get good advice here (often you ladies are able to articulate an outfit flaw that he has identified but struggled to explain, such as scarf knot placement). Like other YLF men, though, he's been known to tease me. If I come home witha new item (which I do more than I used to), he'll usually say something like, "Oh, better check with the fashion blog!"

However he's threatening to "invade" so he can get his opinions heard and maybe change my mind about some things he seriously dislikes (such as jeans tucked into boots hehe) April on "What does your SO think of YLF?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-so-think-of-ylf#post-263235 Thu, 09 Dec 2010 00:04:47 +0000 April 263235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ SO and DS are always very interested in what's going on on YLF. When I see SO and I'm dressed nicely, he usually asks, "Did you post a photo?"

He was a bit bemused that I had to take photos of myself every day while he was here for Thanksgiving, and he's a tad alarmed at all the shopping! But he is definitely liking the results, I think! crwilson on "What does your SO think of YLF?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-so-think-of-ylf#post-263219 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 23:36:23 +0000 crwilson 263219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My husband thinks I'm really nerdy. Which I am, so no big surprises there. chewyspaghetti on "What does your SO think of YLF?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-so-think-of-ylf#post-263218 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 23:35:01 +0000 chewyspaghetti 263218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My hubby can often be heard asking "What would Angie Say?" as he scoots behind me as I am at the mirror. He likes to tease me, but he also knows that I enjoy fashion. Mo on "What does your SO think of YLF?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-so-think-of-ylf#post-263214 Wed, 08 Dec 2010 23:24:30 +0000 Mo 263214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My BF thinks it's good fun for me. He's nicknamed me 'the fashion Mo' long ago when I'd get in my closet and start trying on 20 things. You know, like Malibu Barbie. Anyway he thinks it's perfect that I have a place to share with like minded people. I usually try and get off the boards and spend time together when he gets home from work.
