Hello Fabbers -

Thanks for putting up with all of us longtime lurkers coming out of the woodwork this week. I've been checking into YLF regularly for about a year now, and am inspired daily. I'm looking forward to "meeting" all of you, and eagerly awaiting 10 days from now when I can see your pics again. Fingers crossed this will give me the courage to post a few pics of my own.

I'm still working on defining my personal style. Thanks to YLF, I try a lot more and leave/return things that don't work well. I'm a 14/16 cusp apple and struggle to find flattering fits for my squishy body. I'm on a health and fitness journey and starting to see some changes, but also trying my best to dress the body I have now and feel good about how I dress daily.

To let you know how you've already influenced my style journey, here's a confession of some bandwagon items I jumped on because they looked so fab on you. I've received compliments on all of them, and they've upped the ante for some of my essentials, so thank you!
- Sam Edelman Pettys
- Spiegel jacket (at $29 I couldn't resist!!)
- VC Striped tube skirt
- Converse Hi-ness

Cheers!
