Those are good ones. I also find inspiration in the darnedest places, like this photo of the Orion nebula. I am working on an outfit to mimic those wondrous colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-know-you-have-ylf-on-the-brain-when#post-679550 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 16:59:50 +0000 Ornella 679550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is my list and it's far from embarassing, I am very proud of these two that immediately came to mind :-)</p> <p>I know I've been YLF-ed because:<br /> - I *notice* other women's efforts when they dress - and I tell them whenever I can, pointing out the exact details I like;<br /> - I walk by a nice wall, building or scenery in general and think what a wonderful WIW background that would make. (I really started noticing the backgrounds after <strong><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2011/03/25/a-not-so-buttoned-up-suit">this blog post</a></strong>.)</p> <p>ETA: One more :-)<br /> I often find myself seeing random things around me and thinking it would be great outfit inspiration - this is something my brain had been reprogrammed to after participating in Picture Perfect challenges here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-know-you-have-ylf-on-the-brain-when#post-679541 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 16:51:00 +0000 JulieJohn 679541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You chicks are all killer. I use this word a lot, and I have since I was a teenager. If I really like something it is "killer-diller" ! I've never really grown up you see.</p> <p>Jenava - thanks for the validation!</p> <p>Ceit - you made my day by using the word "grok". Are you a Heinlein fan like me?</p> <p>Shannon - thanks for the translation into "fabspeak". Or is it "fablish"?</p> <p>Joy - take the plunge and tell 'em they look killer. Yer pooch is adorable.</p> <p>Mochi - I challenge you to use that phrase at the next possible opportunity. (wink)</p> <p>Christianne - glad to know the world is keeping up with us! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-know-you-have-ylf-on-the-brain-when#post-679475 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 15:18:54 +0000 christieanne 679475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer is still a compliment out in the world I have adopted the Team concept and when I use it (not even thinking) I usually get a acknowledgment and nod to it's appropriateness. I try not to over do it lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-know-you-have-ylf-on-the-brain-when#post-679406 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 14:00:27 +0000 Mochi 679406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really? I've heard it used as a top compliment by non-YLFers..."that recipe looks killer," etc. </p> <p>Though never, apart from here, KILLER TO THE POWER OF KILLER </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/you-know-you-have-ylf-on-the-brain-when#post-679375 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 13:40:34 +0000 Anonymous 679375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've come very close to telling someone that they look Killer.

For the record, GK makes team uniforms.</p> <p>So weird because I had just been daydreaming about Angie's two reds, dark vs. bright, and then I saw this. I had to laugh at myself.</p> <p>Please feel free to share your embarrassing YLF-isms. </p>
