I developed so much confidence through YLF participation. I really don't know where I'd be without it . Thanks Sal - disrupt for the win! Haha Sally if you think you were challenged, you should see me repeating my name to native Israelis who almost inevitably call me Jenny anyhow. It just isn't a mix of sounds that work for them easily. Also my mother chose an alternative spelling for my name. When the bionic woman - Jaime Sommers - came along, I was vindicated at last ! Staysfit - Thank you. I have no doubts about my skills as a sorter. The sales part is unexplored territory though! kkards - Yes, exactly. Thank you Mirjana. avicennia - Delighted to provoke thought! I am curious to learn if I can still learn some new tricks . Stag - Interesting thoughts - I am confident with the merch side, but this is a tiny charity shop and I am also the cashier/salesperson that has to be friendly for hours on end. Not easy for me although I am pretty good at it, and exhausting. As for the bleed over, once I decided to post on instagram for my various experiments in on-line selling I realized the gig is up. Totally respect and understand people that have avoided that sort of thing. Synne - Hmm, probably I should offer my services as second hand shopper and give tours . Jonesy - Thank you! Glad you like the pic too. MsMaven - You made me laugh. Glad you recognized me! Runcarla - It is. Sometimes .

MsMaven on "Word and color" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-and-color/page/2#post-2248162 Sun, 16 Jan 2022 01:18:08 +0000 MsMaven 2248162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My first thought when saw this is how come Jaime looks just like Shevia? Looking forward to reading your posts as you learn your new job. This is exciting!  Jonesy on "Word and color" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-and-color/page/2#post-2247967 Fri, 14 Jan 2022 20:22:10 +0000 Jonesy 2247967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Jaime, what serendipity! You will be such an amazing asset for the store! And it goes without saying that you look fab in purple (love your new moniker pic!). Synne on "Word and color" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-and-color/page/2#post-2247956 Fri, 14 Jan 2022 19:28:37 +0000 Synne 2247956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hello Jamie! What a perfect gig!! Would love to go browsing the rails together with your curated eye! Stagiaire Fash on "Word and color" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-and-color/page/2#post-2247953 Fri, 14 Jan 2022 18:57:35 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2247953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You will be great at the new position, as you are so good at finding and evaluating just the right items in second-hand shops! I agree with you on introverts needing “recovery” time after social interaction. I wonder how much that will be the case and to what extent you’ll be able to block out the social and just focus on the merch end of things. I’m curious about the bleed-over of your life here into your offline life. I’m one who strongly prefers not to be outed (and I’ve taken down pix of my friend out of deference to his public life) or to have my “fashion” life connect to the rest. avicennia on "Word and color" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-and-color#post-2247952 Fri, 14 Jan 2022 18:47:49 +0000 avicennia 2247952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Jaime — how wonderful to embark on a new adventure! The navy outfit is smashing! I like the idea of radically disrupting self imposed limitations. Something to think about — what are my self imposed limitations? Thank you for making me think today. Mirjana on "Word and color" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-and-color#post-2247908 Fri, 14 Jan 2022 13:49:17 +0000 Mirjana 2247908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Congratulations and the best luck in your new job. kkards on "Word and color" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-and-color#post-2247903 Fri, 14 Jan 2022 12:29:25 +0000 kkards 2247903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ How exciting.   Love that sometimes the the simplest thing, you stop in to shop and see an old friend, turns into an opportunity that sets you on a new course.  <div>And of course YLF. </div> Staysfit on "Word and color" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-and-color#post-2247897 Fri, 14 Jan 2022 11:17:10 +0000 Staysfit 2247897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Jaime, such an apt word and color choice!  Pushing the boundaries of introversion for your new position sounds like an exciting challenge. You are clearly perfect for the job given your experience and skill with thrifted fashion.  Your first outfit is absolutely fab!   Sally on "Word and color" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-and-color#post-2247892 Fri, 14 Jan 2022 09:37:37 +0000 Sally 2247892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi Jaime - I had to look up your name to find out how it is pronounced...very pretty.   I think your word is great...sometimes disruption is necessary and can be a positive thing if we roll with the changes.  I hope 2022 brings you positive disruptions and new exciting opportunities.  Great colour too - I believe purple has meanings around bravery and wisdom.  As you mention, it is a great calming colour.   Sal on "Word and color" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-and-color#post-2247878 Fri, 14 Jan 2022 03:26:48 +0000 Sal 2247878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ How exciting Jaime - congratulations!  You will be a huge asset I am sure. I love your word and colour - perfect for you!  I like the double meaning of disrupt too. Jaime on "Word and color" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-and-color#post-2247870 Fri, 14 Jan 2022 02:20:29 +0000 Jaime 2247870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Mary Beth maybe I stole the idea from them . Pretty likely although it was subconscious. And thank you - your explanation of disruption is exactly what I had in mind! Angie you are so nice, but I am so not a natural at dealing with people as a salesperson - this is the area that I am most surprising myself. It turns out though that I am an excellent sorter and pricer now that I get to see my picks fly out of the shop! suntiger - hahaha, our attic space is already been converted to a warehouse! gryffin - I want to hug you for that quote even if Nietzsche would be horrified . Thank you so much for your insightful comment! gryffin on "Word and color" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-and-color#post-2247823 Thu, 13 Jan 2022 20:19:46 +0000 gryffin 2247823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow Jamie!  Go forth and shake things up!!  Yay for disrupt!!  You look fabulous.  Great jacket!  I think the pandemic was actually beneficial to some of us as a chance to evaluate if things that we took as given, as rote, even who we perceive ourselves to be - did these thoughts and behaviors serve us.  In that light, I think it's an incredible opportunity for growth.  As Nietzshe said, "what doesn't kill us makes us stronger"  Which is amazing because he's describing the biological definition of hormesis, which does make us stronger (if it doesn't kill us)!  Pretty cool.  But I hope it also makes us wiser.  That our choices, priorities, paths become more deliberate, well thought out, or in your case adventurous!  Brava!  Wishing you every joy, insight and much fun on your journey!! Anonymous on "Word and color" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-and-color#post-2247803 Thu, 13 Jan 2022 19:13:08 +0000 Anonymous 2247803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ :) I'll be waiting on the thread about the addition you're building to house all the new finds from the new job! I bet it'll be lots of fun Angie on "Word and color" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-and-color#post-2247797 Thu, 13 Jan 2022 18:27:06 +0000 Angie 2247797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ CONGRATS, Jaime! Thank you for your ongoing loyal YLF support.  Such a serendipitous and meant-to-be new venture! WOW. GREAT fit! Pun intended. Very exciting! Best of luck, and I bet things will unfold and evolve beautifully. You will be a natural at this, and that is what you won't need to learn!  KILLER navy jacket.  As long as your early morning yoga is not disrupted - DISRUPT is awesome ....as is lilac! Mary Beth (formerly LBD) on "Word and color" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-and-color#post-2247792 Thu, 13 Jan 2022 18:00:27 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2247792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Jaime, it's nice to 'personally' meet you :)   I'm very excited about your word, and your new gig!   How does one move on to new adventures?   By disrupting their current situations.   I think you're going to have an amazing time :) Interesting what you say about purple, because Pantone's color of the year is Periwinkle, and they talk about the same thing - the combination of energy and calm.   I look forward to seeing your purple colors in 2022! Jaime on "Word and color" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-and-color#post-2247777 Thu, 13 Jan 2022 15:23:24 +0000 Jaime 2247777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Aw shucks, thank you all. Just to be clear this new job might be short term - but it has already turned my self-image upside down.  Thank you Joy - to be honest with you I have a completely different frame of mind when working compared to shopping, but if something extraordinary comes up, I am sure I snag it! Thank you Irina! Yes, this may be the most different thing I have ever done. Vildy - I know! Why don't clothes minded people volunteer? ChewyS - Thank you! I have read that an introvert's main quality is needing a lot of recovery after social interaction and wow, is that accurate for me. Suz - Squee! I will be super happy whenever you come visit whether I continue to work there or not! As you probably know, technically Israel has just opened up to tourists, not that I would suggest anyone come right now. Thank you slim cat! Exactly Sharan (if I may!) the world has changed so much it is head spinning. Bijou - Thank you for your very sweet comment! Jessikams - Still digesting them myself. pirouette, Minaminu and Rachylou - Thank you! Interesting point about introversion/extroversion Jenni. I am not becoming more extroverted as far as I can tell - just coping better with what my introversion means. I hope. lozz_oz - I hope so and thanks! UmmLila - Thank you! So far the best part is when the items I select are quickly bought up. Helena - You are too nice! Thank you for your super nice comment! nuancedream - ! Thank you! nuancedream on "Word and color" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-and-color#post-2247774 Thu, 13 Jan 2022 15:20:22 +0000 nuancedream 2247774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Jamie, if anyone could be the perfect spokesperson for consignment shopping, it's you! Your style is off the charts AMAZING!! I would be in your consignment shop every single day. Take all my money!!!  Helena on "Word and color" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-and-color#post-2247766 Thu, 13 Jan 2022 12:35:53 +0000 Helena 2247766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Jaime!!! This honestly just put the most massive smile on my face. What a perfect experience for you, whether it's short term, long term or whatever!! Here's to embracing the contradictions that make beautiful you, beautiful you!!! *Applause* UmmLila (Lisa) on "Word and color" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-and-color#post-2247765 Thu, 13 Jan 2022 12:34:29 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2247765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, I love the new photo. And what a fun, new gig for you. I'm sure you'll like treasure hunting for other people almost as much as you do for yourself. lozz_oz on "Word and color" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-and-color#post-2247754 Thu, 13 Jan 2022 08:22:27 +0000 lozz_oz 2247754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What good luck to end up working in a thrift store. Your knowledge will be so appreciated by both the owner and the customers. Have fun! rachylou on "Word and color" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-and-color#post-2247753 Thu, 13 Jan 2022 08:22:26 +0000 rachylou 2247753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gosh that’s exciting! Beautiful jacket! Minaminu on "Word and color" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-and-color#post-2247752 Thu, 13 Jan 2022 08:03:35 +0000 Minaminu 2247752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a great way to start the year! Congratulations on the new job, I am sure you will be great! Jenni NZ on "Word and color" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-and-color#post-2247751 Thu, 13 Jan 2022 08:01:19 +0000 Jenni NZ 2247751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well somehow your real name had been revealed before but I always felt more comfortable to use the name you had chosen as your handle. So it’s nice to use the real one now! Mine is easy since Jenni is the name everyone calls me- it’s really Jennifer but that is too formal for me! My real surname is not NZ of course :) Great developments with the job! Maybe introversion and extroversion get closer over time? I am an extrovert working with people but I need way more downtime to recover than I used to. pirouette on "Word and color" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-and-color#post-2247750 Thu, 13 Jan 2022 08:00:48 +0000 pirouette 2247750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Congratulations and the best of luck in your new job. You have great taste and style and I know you will be great at helping customers.

Happy new year- Bijou on "Word and color" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-and-color#post-2247737 Thu, 13 Jan 2022 06:32:37 +0000 Bijou 2247737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Jaime, you are the best advertisement for consignment shopping as you find the best items and dress with amazing style. Your lucky customers to have your excellent eye to assist them in finding the perfect piece for them. Your word and colour sound perfect for what 2022 has in store for you! Firecracker (Sharan) on "Word and color" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-and-color#post-2247733 Thu, 13 Jan 2022 06:02:53 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2247733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <div>How exciting! I enjoyed reading about your choice of word and color, and how they relate to your new adventures. </div><div> </div><div>It's so funny about the name thing online. Yes, things have changed quite a bit since some of us first joined YLF! It has felt odd at times to know someone's name, as I did yours, as I would sometimes wonder whether it was okay to "out" you by using it on some posts (if no one had used it already). I don't mind people using my name (Sharan), but I also kind of like Firecracker! So maybe I'll do the parentheses thing, to make it easier for folks. </div> slim cat on "Word and color" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-and-color#post-2247727 Thu, 13 Jan 2022 04:32:29 +0000 slim cat 2247727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Congratulations! Nice to officially "meet" you, Jaime .  Sounds like a new exciting chapter with a perfect word to match!
