My foot is still problematic from my October 2016 bobble. It sounds like yours is resolving quickly, which is fortunate because gravity and circulation fight against recovery in foot injuries. </p> <p>I have used the archives to come up with outfit ideas. Sticking with a strict color palette with no black can be a challenge. Angie has a lot of great posts to help with this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-archive-to-the-rescue#post-1812866 Mon, 05 Jun 2017 09:02:57 +0000 lozz_oz 1812866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Bijou - great to have a heads up regarding the fashion trends in Europe + northern hemisphere 6 months in advance for us 'down under'.<br />I often delve into the archive when pondering looks that I may not normally wear.<br />The archives are a fabulous resource! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-archive-to-the-rescue#post-1812690 Sun, 04 Jun 2017 14:15:02 +0000 Anonymous 1812690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit sounds fabulous!<br /> Hope you had fun at the party and I'm glad to hear your toe is ok. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-archive-to-the-rescue#post-1812687 Sun, 04 Jun 2017 13:58:32 +0000 tulle 1812687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chris, I loved paper dolls, too!&nbsp; Did you ever draw &amp; cut out your own designs for them?&nbsp; My sisters and I played with them for hours.</p> <p>Bijou, I always think the same thing when I read YLF posts from OZ:&nbsp; must remember that great outfit when the season changes here!&nbsp; </p> <p>Right now it's strawberry season, Summer is approaching slowly,&nbsp; and my toe is just fine, so all's right with my little world, thanks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-archive-to-the-rescue#post-1812681 Sun, 04 Jun 2017 13:15:13 +0000 Bijou 1812681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie's ensembles really help me with colour combinations that I may not have tried before and also with the key seasonal updates. I feel that I am very lucky living in Australia, so I can see the trends from the Northern Hemisphere 6 months before they arrive here.</p> <p>I hope your toe heals rapidly. Dressing from the feet up is very sensible, given your current situation. Your outfit sounds great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-archive-to-the-rescue#post-1812676 Sun, 04 Jun 2017 12:56:42 +0000 Chris987 1812676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure the archives have "saved the day" for me but I go back through them a lot. I especially love the ensembles. Sometimes I decide I like a certain color and go back through the ensembles for inspiration on how to wear it. I&nbsp;used to adore paper dolls as a kid and the ensembles have a little bit of that feel.&nbsp;If you go to the Pinterest board for all the ensembles it's easy and quick to scroll back in time.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-archive-to-the-rescue#post-1807829 Fri, 12 May 2017 03:19:20 +0000 tulle 1807829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, friends.&nbsp; My toe feels better every day--ice &amp; arnica ointment have really helped.&nbsp; Joy, Style Fan, and Aquamarine are so right, Angie: your pointers are invaluable.&nbsp; JAileen, I'm embarrassed to admit the extent of my technological ineptitude, but I still haven't figured out how to take a reasonable picture and send it.&nbsp; I do admire &amp; appreciate the photos in everyone's posts here.&nbsp; Maybe someday... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-archive-to-the-rescue#post-1807802 Fri, 12 May 2017 01:28:22 +0000 Aquamarine 1807802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! I can hear Angie in my head often as I debate what to wear. This site is the best!</p> <p>Our weather is decidedly un-springlike too. I have an event this weekend and cold, wet weather is ruining my planned spring outfit, grrr. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-archive-to-the-rescue#post-1807800 Fri, 12 May 2017 01:17:16 +0000 Style Fan 1807800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope your toe feels better.&nbsp; Your outfit sounds very Fab to me.&nbsp; Have fun at the party.<br />I often go through Angie's Friday Ensemble posts to look for inspiration.&nbsp; I honestly don't know how I got dressed without them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-archive-to-the-rescue#post-1807792 Fri, 12 May 2017 00:47:20 +0000 Angie 1807792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds fabulous, and I'm sure you'll look fab, Tulle. Nice to hear that one of my posts helped out.&nbsp;</p> <p>I've had broken toes and it's NOT FUN. Sending healing thoughts and enjoy the party.

Pictures? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-archive-to-the-rescue#post-1807742 Thu, 11 May 2017 20:32:33 +0000 Anonymous 1807742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Often I see an Angie ensemble that I want to try but it is the wrong season for the weather we are having. The archive is a source of inspiration later on. Same if I buy a type of piece later on, then come back for styling ideas. I hope your poor toe is back to normal soon. Your boots will help protect it from further damage ( much better than flip-flops) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-archive-to-the-rescue#post-1807733 Thu, 11 May 2017 19:52:48 +0000 deb 1807733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yea! Sounds like you are set. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-archive-to-the-rescue#post-1807732 Thu, 11 May 2017 19:46:52 +0000 tulle 1807732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A friend is having a birthday dinner party tomorrow night.&nbsp; I'd hoped to wear something Spring-y and delicate, but fate and the weather have thwarted that plan.&nbsp; I sprained my big toe a few days ago, and the swelling hasn't gone completely down. Now the weather forecast says it will be in the 40s and rainy&nbsp; for the party.&nbsp; I ransacked my closet (still jammed with stuff for all seasons and in desperate need of a clean-out--next week, I hope) and found an almost forgotten simple black sweater dress with a swing-y shape.&nbsp; One of Angie's Winter posts popped into my head.&nbsp; I looked it up, and realized that it would work:&nbsp; sweater dress, patterned hose, and tall leather boots with chunky heels.&nbsp; My tall boots, a half-size big to accommodate thick socks, feel just right for my poor toe when worn with textured tights.&nbsp; In lieu of a scarf, I'm adding a long gold chain lariat-style necklace tipped with branch coral, and topping off with my slightly glamorous black satin Zara trench.&nbsp; Maybe not the most exciting party outfit I've ever come up with, but comfortable, appropriate, and a huge relief knowing that I won't have to attend in my mesh exercise sneaks!&nbsp; I'm sure I'm not not alone in being saved from a fashion disaster by one of Angie's archived posts. Has it happened to you? </p>
