YLF has always been such a supportive, safe place to share a love of fashion together. </p> <p>When I turned 40 I decided it was finally time to be comfortable in my own skin. It is something I still have to work at. My fashion journey is as much about that as anything else.</p> <p>@notsaf, here are shoes very similar to mine<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/5434833" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/5434833</a></p> <p>@TheCat, Yes! My big fluffy buddy Henry is long gone but I kept the name because I liked seeing his picture and didn't want to lose track of people on the forum. We since have added other furry friends to our lives </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-then-and-now-3#post-2087528 Tue, 24 Dec 2019 16:01:36 +0000 Anonymous 2087528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You don’t look like you have aged a day.

Big yes to tan, camel, and teal for 2020 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-then-and-now-3#post-2087320 Mon, 23 Dec 2019 18:58:59 +0000 fathenry 2087320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't believe I have been on YLF for 10 years. I did not get up the courage to post my outfits until 5 years ago but it has been fun to see the similarities and differences looking back on them. </p> <p>1 First WIW black lace stretch dress 2014 - worn casually<br /> 2 Casual jeans outfit 2015 - tried crops<br /> 3 Casual Jeans outfit 2016 - tried the welted dressy sweatshirt and crops<br /> 4 Casual dress, major weight loss and hair update 2017 - more funky than 2014 for similar summer day out with friends, incorporating sneakers trend<br /> 5 Casual jeans outfit 2019 - similar to 2015, incorporated high rise and sneakers, still wearing crops<br /> 6 Dressy animal print with Mom 2019 - incorporated animal print and satin</p> <p>Looking at this I would say my style is pretty consistent with just minor modifications to incorporate the trends as they come up. I do wear colors they just seem to always be tempered with a neutral piece. So even in the last picture the snakeskin top is really a neutral. I guess jeans cream/ivory and black are wardrobe essentials for me! </p> <p>I like the look of the new colors in the last picture and would like to lighten up and add more tan, camel and teal in 2020. </p> <p>Looking back I can see that most of my other summer clothes are generally more colorful, but those don't see much wear (2 -3 months out of the year) and I don't consider them essentials. </p>
