They have a very slight purple cast to them I would never have even tried them on before now, but they not only look stunning they are soooo comfortable.<br /> Singing " Happy feet, I got those happy feet" : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-know-you-are-a-ylfer-when#post-340637 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 06:30:01 +0000 sophiespal 340637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great discussion!<br /> I ordered a pair of Clarks booties and when they arrived I realized they were Clarks "dowdy" booties (not Indigo) and I sent them back. Even though I am now out the shipping at least I won't have a pair of boots in my closet that I don't feel good in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-know-you-are-a-ylfer-when#post-340541 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 02:10:08 +0000 Mo 340541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I take a dress to the tailor that I've had for 12+ years and always wished the straps were just a tad shorter. Well as of today, they finally are :D<br /> It is no longer an 'almost'. It is now a 'just right'. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-know-you-are-a-ylfer-when#post-340498 Thu, 28 Apr 2011 01:16:41 +0000 Angie 340498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a nice thread :)</p> <p>Onto something better, Auntie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-know-you-are-a-ylfer-when#post-340363 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 20:09:22 +0000 Lisa 340363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. I notice PPL all the time now and have to bite my tongue.<br /> 2. I purchase and return without a second thought.<br /> 3. I'll purchase something and try it with my wardrobe, if I can't figure out how to style it/make it work in one month, back it goes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-know-you-are-a-ylfer-when#post-340331 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 19:16:29 +0000 Lori 340331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When every where you go, you see someone you wish you could help on their style journey. . .or at least get them on some style path. I go to Food Court at the mall across the street occasionally, and I sit and look around and I wonder why some women seem to have just given up or don't even bother to try to look even somewhat pulled together. </p> <p>Oh, and this a.m. - one dress - two different pair of tights, three different pair of shoes, three different belts, two necklaces and multiple bracelets until it was "just right!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-know-you-are-a-ylfer-when#post-340305 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 18:25:33 +0000 nancylee 340305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When my coworker admired my new denim dress, I said, "Thanks, but I'm not sure I've 'styled' it right!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-know-you-are-a-ylfer-when#post-340291 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 17:59:07 +0000 Lynne 340291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Who sang that song, "it's got to be-ee-ee, perfect! It's got to be-ee-ee, worth it" ? Iwas driving home today thinking of some shoes I'd seen, and that song was running through my head! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-know-you-are-a-ylfer-when#post-340271 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 16:59:26 +0000 rae 340271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You purchase a returnable item you aren't sure about, but that you'd like to try before it sells out. I never used to do this before; I'd hem and haw until I missed the boat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-know-you-are-a-ylfer-when#post-340223 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 15:10:12 +0000 Michelle 340223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isn't that a great feeling, Aunty? :)<br /> I had one of those moments today while getting dressed. I may or may not have left late because I was scrambling to figure out a way to bookend the black skinny jeans I was wearing with my purple tunic. The fact that I went with a black and white pearl necklace only cements my Ylfer status, methinks. Never mind the fact that I started thinking of more springlike combos I could have worn with the same top as soon as I realized the weather was warmer than I thought (hello, straight-leg white pants, pewter ballet flats and gold pendant). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-know-you-are-a-ylfer-when#post-340216 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 14:55:27 +0000 HeleenH 340216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was pretty much the same, Aunty! I hardly ever returned items, except for H&amp;M childrens clothes that I bought while the children were at school to save time. But this week I returned 2 items (and bought the obi belt with part of the change). Sooo much better than having the item live in the far end of the closet for about 2 years and giving it a one way ticket to charity after that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-know-you-are-a-ylfer-when#post-340171 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 14:00:43 +0000 Queen Mum 340171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aunty- good for you. We need to learn to not settle for less than the best for our fab selves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-know-you-are-a-ylfer-when#post-340166 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 13:49:28 +0000 teri 340166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>cheryl... I do the same thing. I've done it twice today already lol<br /> Lady walking to catch park and ride and a girl in my office. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-know-you-are-a-ylfer-when#post-340164 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 13:44:44 +0000 cheryl 340164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was at work yesterday and a customer was leaving and i just shook my head and thought about ppl. Her pants were way too short, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-know-you-are-a-ylfer-when#post-340161 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 13:42:37 +0000 Aunty 340161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When you take something back to the shop because it is not 100% right!</p> <p>I know it is pathetic but I have always lived with the mistake before.<br /> Today I took back a pair of shoes just because I was not truly in love with them, Then I came out with a pair that I think are the “Bees Knees” Progress!!! <br /> If I was accepting an award I would thank Angie so much for this wonderful site and her gentle nudges to get you on the right track, and all you fabulous people!</p> <p>How do you know you are a YLFer? </p>
