Hi everyone, I'm joining the ranks of the "De-Lurked" and becoming a member! I've been a fan of YouLookFab for a couple of years now, but only started stalking the forum more seriously this year.

Like fellow newbie Cracker, I hail from Canada I love how many Canadians there are here! All of you have really inspired me to think more thoughtfully about my wardrobe and my style persona. I've since downloaded Stylebook to catalogue (and curate) my wardrobe and done a purge. I really want to be mindful of how an item complements my collection when shopping in future.

YLF has made me think hard about my style. As a teen I dressed to subvert-- think clashing colors, mismatched things (my prom dress featured thick black, purple and white diagonal stripes), Then in my 20s I lived in boring corporate wear. It was only after getting married, moving long-distance and becoming a freelancer that I started really having fun with clothes.

Examining my wardrobe now, I would describe it as a mix of boho, rock-romantic and tropicana-stepford wife. I love dresses, color and print... a little too much. i have too many clothes and not enough cohesion. The only style I have always rejected is "classic" and I've realized that's actually what I've been missing in my outfits. So that's what I'm trying to do in future,

My current challenge is that my identity and body has changed yet again. I'm now a SAHM to a 2-month old baby boy. I really enjoyed dressing my pregnancy body and found it fun but postpartum is a totally different matter...

We're going into winter and I only have one pair of jeans that fit, Most of my lovely dresses are living in my suitcase now because they aren't breastfeeding compatible. My already large bust is now huge and super top-heavy. I live in tunic tops and cardigans. Now I'm just wondering how I'm going to dress myself for the next year until I get my old body back... I love there's a number of MOTGs here so I hope to get inspired!

Ok, what a long post. Hello and I look forward to being active here!
