Just two things that weren't even on my radar at all.</p> <p>Angie has also persuaded me into blouses. Not a trendy thing, but had not worn one in years before YLF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-would-you-not-have-tried-if-it-was-not-for-ylf/page/2#post-870702 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 23:39:19 +0000 Mo 870702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thought I would answer first and then check responses. First and foremost, skinny jeans. I'd only seen them on our young hostesses at work (with bodycon tank and tees) and thought, "oh, no, I'm not going back to the 80's." Lo and behold, at 40 I got my first pair, only $10 so I could try out the trend. Not long after I got bright red, zippered, moto skinnies! Talk about jumping in :)<br /> The other most important fashion change for me was longer length tops after so many years of 90's style ingrained in me lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-would-you-not-have-tried-if-it-was-not-for-ylf/page/2#post-870593 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 21:52:58 +0000 Anonymous 870593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BF jeans, for sure.<br /> I am not really much of a risk taker. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-would-you-not-have-tried-if-it-was-not-for-ylf/page/2#post-870586 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 21:46:37 +0000 Caro in Oz 870586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny I think I'm going in the opposite direction. I am buying much less.

Making this list makes me realize how my style eyes have been opened by Angie and YLF:</p> <p>Midis<br /> Booties...especially with skirts and dresses<br /> Voluminous tops/blouses<br /> Cropped jackets<br /> Faux fur vest<br /> White denim<br /> BF jeans<br /> Skinnies </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-would-you-not-have-tried-if-it-was-not-for-ylf/page/2#post-870377 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 18:02:11 +0000 merwoman 870377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>skinnies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-would-you-not-have-tried-if-it-was-not-for-ylf/page/2#post-870370 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 17:55:49 +0000 cciele 870370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>semi tuck,, slipper loafers </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-would-you-not-have-tried-if-it-was-not-for-ylf#post-870361 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 17:45:25 +0000 Vildy 870361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Because of Angie's recent search for the perfect low-rise jeans - something I usually have stayed away from - I felt confident in buying a pair I loved that only came low-rise. I would have fretted about them being way outdated except that if they are acceptable/desirable to Angie then they're more than good enough for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-would-you-not-have-tried-if-it-was-not-for-ylf#post-870342 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 17:22:44 +0000 Raisin 870342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So far, booties, animal print, slouchy skinnies and mid-calf boots. And I am sure I will try out slouchy trousers too, which I can say I would have never even HEARD of without YLF. I haven't tried BF jeans yet, but I may give those a go too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-would-you-not-have-tried-if-it-was-not-for-ylf#post-870330 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 17:08:37 +0000 catgirl 870330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would not be wearing blazers - I was a cardigan wearer although they bored and frustrated me. Just didn't think blazers could fit and look good on me. I don't know if that's a trend, but it's a life-changer. </p> <p>Also never would have gotten the demi-tuck or PPL.</p> <p>Now, BF jeans I would have snapped up whether YLF was on it or not! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-would-you-not-have-tried-if-it-was-not-for-ylf#post-870310 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 16:49:51 +0000 unfrumped 870310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Track pants; semi-tucking; narrow pant leg scrunch; oxfords with skirts; more handbag interest/contrast, and some more clutches.</p> <p>Generically:<br /> -- observing more, trying to deconstruct magazine photos or YLF WIW's for things that work for me, for where the updates and outdates are, for taking it both more systematically (more wardrobe review, more trying things that might turn out to be fun and keep me updated) and not seriously at the same time (as in, good luck, I'm not wearin' that!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-would-you-not-have-tried-if-it-was-not-for-ylf#post-870306 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 16:48:02 +0000 Diana 870306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BF jeans and the semi-tuck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-would-you-not-have-tried-if-it-was-not-for-ylf#post-870297 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 16:36:36 +0000 rae 870297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skinnies, BF jeans... I would have tried the semi tuck but MUCH later.

(Pats self on the back in congratulatory way...) So I probably would have tried BFs. I guess I am open to new denim silhouettes - probably because I wear the darn things so much!</p> <p>What I would NOT have tried without YLF: </p> <p>Booties with dresses.<br /> Light coloured booties.<br /> Patterned footwear (would have worried it was impractical and too big an expense).<br /> Leather jackets (I had memories of the awful leather coats of my childhood and could not see the attraction.)<br /> White jeans (silhouettes I would play with; colours, not so much!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-would-you-not-have-tried-if-it-was-not-for-ylf#post-870141 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 14:11:24 +0000 Sona 870141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>tucking in and belting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-would-you-not-have-tried-if-it-was-not-for-ylf#post-870135 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 14:07:40 +0000 Claudia 870135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scarves as a key accessory to pull an outfit together.<br /> Jeggings or leans<br /> Faux fur vests<br /> Some of my best footwear<br /> Boyfriend jeans<br /> Dressy track pants</p> <p>Just learning that the eye can and should adjust to have fun with changing fashion trends. Fashion is fun, embrace what works and disregard what doesn't. Tomorrow something new is just around the corner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-would-you-not-have-tried-if-it-was-not-for-ylf#post-870124 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 13:57:02 +0000 abc 870124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tall boots (I have huge calves)<br /> Skinny jeans / pants<br /> Colored jeans<br /> Wearing white bottoms<br /> Oxford shoes<br /> I'm sure there's more but those are the few that come to mind immediately. </p> <p>Thanks Angie and YLF for helping me expand my wardrobe options! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-trends-would-you-not-have-tried-if-it-was-not-for-ylf#post-870123 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 13:47:12 +0000 Eliza 870123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My current YFL wisdom focus is the option to size up in pants. I really love a tapered leg, but was tired of just wearing skinnies. I have successfully coped with very limited retail choices by sizing up into a "new style". Added bonus- the looser pants are much easier to pair with a variety of tops. Thanks, Angie and YLFers. </p>
