Oh my gosh, but I am jeaous!! I can't remember the last time everyone was occupied nicely out of the house at the same time for more than an hour :-\ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-love-ylf#post-716640 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 01:12:35 +0000 Jaime 716640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First things first, cheesecake is a very good breakfast!</p> <p>Wonderful post Shannon. It is still very hot here, but just yesterday I was thinking how I really have a closet full of great clothes thanks to Angie and YLF and now I just need to figure out how to wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-love-ylf#post-716570 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 23:59:38 +0000 Jjsloane 716570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How inspiring! I love the feeling of sorting things in and out for the changing seasons. I am currently sorting for a Children's consignment sale so my own is on hold, but it's next in line. I have a rod full already of things I am planning to take to my consignment store and have several donate bags ready to go. Far from the complete transformation you have made so successfully, but again we have still had temps in high 80's. I always transition too soon and end up sweltering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-love-ylf#post-716534 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 23:20:41 +0000 Thistle 716534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am jealous and so happy for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-love-ylf#post-716533 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 23:20:07 +0000 JulieJohn 716533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, Shannon!

Great job getting the switch made with so much satisfaction that you have what you need, love and will wear! Also great job on purging out the unlovables. I did manage to weed out a few things but probably could do better.</p> <p>Yes, I love YLF for all those reasons, and enjoy the process of making my clothes say "me" and learning from you all to choose what works, how to avoid what doesn't make me feel fab, and sharing among the members here. Thanks to you, and all the fabbers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-love-ylf#post-716469 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 20:52:49 +0000 ironkurtin 716469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohhh I am so jealous it is still 90+ here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-love-ylf#post-716461 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 20:28:20 +0000 Sona 716461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel the same way TS.

Well done, Shannon!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-love-ylf#post-716445 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 19:53:54 +0000 Transcona Shannon 716445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the whole day to myself today as everyone else in the household has plans. How decadent! After enjoying a leisurely coffee and a piece of cheesecake for breakfast (cake can be breakfast can't it?) I decided to tackle my closet.</p> <p>It has turned into fall here (my favourite time of year by far) so took all my summery clothes out of the closet, off the shelves and out of my dresser to store in the downstairs cedar closet that's reserved for out of season clothing. Really summery shoes/sandals have also been put away.</p> <p>Then I brought up all the fall/winter clothing and footwear to put into my bedroom closet. I am absolutely THRILLED with my fall wardrobe. I not only have my new NAS finds to look forward to wearing, but also many pieces from last year that I enjoy. While hanging up my things I discovered new combinations that can be made with the new and old items together. I also was pleased as punch to discover that my pants from last year fit again now that my new meds seem to be working.</p> <p>I have more clothes than I thought and truly do not need to add anything to my fall wardrobe. Based on that I'm adopting a "one-in-one-out" rule for the remainder of fall/winter. I have no more room physically in my closet so for something new to come in, I must purge something else. </p> <p>I did put together a huge pile of stuff to go off to the second hand shop as I decided to be much more discerning about what got put back into the closet. Some of the items I hadn't had that long but no longer cared for or worked with my current wardrobe/style any longer. This felt really good.</p> <p>I love YLF because all of you and Angie in particular helped me get to this point. Helped me define my Retro Classic style, figure out what flatters my body, and assisted me in putting together a cohesive and fun wardrobe. I truly THANK YOU ALL for this! </p>
