The YLF influence for 2020 is most evident in these purchases:<br />- JCrew tartan shirt - which Angie and Christian wear<br />- JCrew westie print shirt (recommended by JAileen and a firm favourite)<br />- pink boots (influenced by Angie and her pink boots)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-have-you-%e2%80%98lemminged%e2%80%99-this-year/page/3#post-2162608 Mon, 28 Dec 2020 19:04:35 +0000 MsMary 2162608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha Cee you made me snort for reals!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-have-you-%e2%80%98lemminged%e2%80%99-this-year/page/3#post-2162278 Sat, 26 Dec 2020 01:54:50 +0000 Cee 2162278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a pet lemming once.

That’s super important to me as I’m not into buying new things. Angie’s outfit formulae are great because they start with what’s in the closet. I read her roundups the same way—“mustard is in, and wide-legged pants....hmmm, I think I have something like that...” “looks like time to pull out my combat boots again” etc. But of course I pick up ideas from everyone else too, like wearing a teal sweater with the pants I just mentioned, wearing white pants in seasons other than summer, and lots more. And I appreciate the feedback people give me on my outfits. So even if I’m not buying the same items, I benefit from seeing how people evaluate whether something works in their wardrobe now. Guess I’m a lemming too. Good thing they’re cute </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-have-you-%e2%80%98lemminged%e2%80%99-this-year/page/3#post-2162249 Fri, 25 Dec 2020 18:49:55 +0000 JAileen 2162249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-have-you-%e2%80%98lemminged%e2%80%99-this-year/page/3#post-2162246 Fri, 25 Dec 2020 18:29:46 +0000 Anonymous 2162246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So lemmings are adorable. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-have-you-%e2%80%98lemminged%e2%80%99-this-year/page/3#post-2162213 Fri, 25 Dec 2020 04:32:07 +0000 JAileen 2162213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here’s an actual lemming we saw in Barrow, Alaska a few years ago. &nbsp;As you can see, lemmings are cute little animals. &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>What have I lemminged? &nbsp;Two things I can remember off the top of my head: &nbsp;a pink cashmere scarf in NAS that Angie got and then I had to have it, too. &nbsp; And a pillow that someone else here (sorry, I don’t remember who, but thanks) got. &nbsp;It’s pretty nice. &nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-have-you-%e2%80%98lemminged%e2%80%99-this-year/page/3#post-2162212 Fri, 25 Dec 2020 03:56:21 +0000 Janet 2162212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, Suntiger. I know the “lemming” term has a negative origin, but around here it’s a compliment. I’m happy to admit when someone here has inspired me to try something, and happy when I can help someone else find something they love too. It’s one of the really wonderful things about this community. We’re not jumping off a cliff, just sharing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-have-you-%e2%80%98lemminged%e2%80%99-this-year/page/3#post-2162171 Thu, 24 Dec 2020 20:48:19 +0000 Anonymous 2162171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes that "lemming" isn't a negative! It's not "buy everything your friends bought just cause it looked nice on them." Since online shopping is the way to go, at least for now, we have to rely on each other for reviews. It saves us time and $, and helps reduce the "noise" of so many options. I trust fabbers more than some random leaving a review online. Plus- we see how things hold up over time, and you don't get that with online reviews. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-have-you-%e2%80%98lemminged%e2%80%99-this-year/page/3#post-2162167 Thu, 24 Dec 2020 20:20:14 +0000 Anonymous 2162167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is the only year I haven't been a lemming. &nbsp;I wanted to numerous times, because you guys find the best stuff, but I wasn't really going anywhere but the grocery store, so I decided to donate my fashion funds to the food bank. &nbsp;I'll be ready to plunge back in in 2021, I'm sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-have-you-%e2%80%98lemminged%e2%80%99-this-year/page/3#post-2162146 Thu, 24 Dec 2020 17:05:53 +0000 Suz 2162146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nodding with <b>Janet, Kaelyn</b>! Love this idea for you!&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, I have to say I'm a bit like<b> TorontoGirl</b> in that my entire style is probably "organically lemminged." I've learned so much here. I do sometimes buy specific <b>Angie </b>picks and items recommended / worn by forum members. But more than that I have lemminged certain styling tricks or approaches. And I'm okay with that. In teaching we have a motto: Don't reinvent the wheel. Works for me, for fashion!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-have-you-%e2%80%98lemminged%e2%80%99-this-year/page/3#post-2162144 Thu, 24 Dec 2020 16:55:48 +0000 Janet 2162144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That hat is adorable and what a great color, Kaelyn!

The orange dress got a TON of wear in the spring and summer, as I knew it would because I love t-shirt style dresses; the hat, less so, because I've mostly been at home, but I love its fit and color and hope to wear it more in 2021. They look great together, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-have-you-%e2%80%98lemminged%e2%80%99-this-year/page/3#post-2162030 Wed, 23 Dec 2020 21:20:59 +0000 Christina F. 2162030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Addendum - I just lemminged this sweater that <b>Janet</b> got (it had been out of stock in my size before, and I had a Nordstrom Note).</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-have-you-%e2%80%98lemminged%e2%80%99-this-year/page/2#post-2161916 Wed, 23 Dec 2020 16:21:33 +0000 Pat_P 2161916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am looking forward to ordering a Ripskirt (or two) this spring. I loved them when I saw them here on the forum but didn’t have any summer budget left for the purchase. So am planning on it in a few months when we start to see spring in New England!</p> <p>And I have to agree with TorontoGirl, in addition to specific items, I get so many wonderful styling ideas here. One of these days I will work up the courage to post a WIW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-have-you-%e2%80%98lemminged%e2%80%99-this-year/page/2#post-2161895 Wed, 23 Dec 2020 13:45:42 +0000 Helena 2161895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think I've lemminged any particular pieces per se, but I am no fashion innovator so I would have to say my whole style is "organically lemminged", or else I'd still be dressing like how my mom dressed me :D</p> <p>In particular, things like semi-tucks, scrunched sleeves, layered necklaces, etc. are all most certainly lemminged from the various style resources I follow and enjoy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-have-you-%e2%80%98lemminged%e2%80%99-this-year/page/2#post-2161797 Wed, 23 Dec 2020 00:40:06 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2161797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, whenever anyone has used a name other than my screen name on here, I’ve asked them to go back and change it.

I haven't opened the package yet because I put it under the tree in a pretty gift bag because it's probably the only thing I'll have to open on Christmas because 2020 has just been weird, and I knew my mama would be sending me a Christmas check (she always does). I'll be doing a review as soon as I actually open it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-have-you-%e2%80%98lemminged%e2%80%99-this-year/page/2#post-2161786 Wed, 23 Dec 2020 00:16:34 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2161786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, but you do know how to get a rise out of me!! I will admit my face was probably bright red just now when I saw you trying to break through the little bit of anonymity our handles on here give us by taking a stab at what my legal name might be. I have never given you, nor anyone on this forum, permission to use anything my other than my screen name on the forum. I’ve got to hand it to you—you are good at instigating, Ms LisaP. If you read my comments at all, you must be aware how tired I get of the little game of “super insider circle” people play by using names other than the screen names posted by our profile pix. So you used it. You are a champ. Slow clap. But let’s stop hijacking Carla’s thread. If you have any more jabs to take at me, send me a dm. And I have to say how surprised and sad I am to see this turn. Was surprised when you started posting on some of my photos, thought you’d turned a corner. Oh well. Maybe things will be better in the new year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-have-you-%e2%80%98lemminged%e2%80%99-this-year/page/2#post-2161783 Wed, 23 Dec 2020 00:09:44 +0000 Anonymous 2161783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>comment removed at FI's request. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-have-you-%e2%80%98lemminged%e2%80%99-this-year/page/2#post-2161777 Wed, 23 Dec 2020 00:03:30 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2161777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please stop trying to twist my words into something negative when they clearly aren’t. You seem to take some kind of perverse pleasure in challenging yourself to find ways to make something say the opposite of its obvious surface meaning, quite frequently by inventing an insult that clearly is not there. Please leave me out of this hobby of yours. I appreciate your comments on my pix, but not when you try to drag me into these word games, Lisa.</p> <p>Carla, yes, i’ve been here long enough to be familiar with that, thought it might look a little strange that I don’t participate, so just wanted to explain. And from me trying to explain that I don’t have any negative intentions, el Presto-Chango invented an insult. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-have-you-%e2%80%98lemminged%e2%80%99-this-year/page/2#post-2161773 Tue, 22 Dec 2020 23:49:11 +0000 Anonymous 2161773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla is absolutely right.
