Your happy post put a big smile on my face - thank you Angie!

yeah me too enjoying the ....thank you angie for this...smile!!!

This is great news for those of us in the Southern hemisphere.
Good things are coming our way, and we have the heads up on what to look for

I see so much that I like and want to try this spring and have to practice PPP. However, without your guidance I would be at a loss as to how to fit and wear these looser styles and would end up a big mess. Thank you!

Smiling along with you! If Angie is happy, it is a good time for fashion indeed.

I'm getting more comfortable with JFE, although there are certain flattery priorities that I'm sure I'll always embrace. I do like the fluid fits because many of them do hint at a body's shape underneath (showing that I do indeed have a waist and not everything is as wide as my widest parts!). The concept of adding structure via various strategies has made all the difference in my adopting more fluid and loose fits, so that has been a huge help, Angie.

I do like that this is a time when many styles and silhouettes are embraced. If a particular trendy look is not ideal for an individual because of body type or style preferences, there are other, just as current, looks to choose from!

Janet, you said it so well. Great insights.

And I'm high fiving Caro, Shevia, Joy and Lyn. xo

I'm heading, I hope, into a season of shopping less, but I'm thrilled at the more fluid tops that are around. It's made me realize how much more "me" this is, for all the reasons already stated above. And it's so awesome to have a clue how to wear them now, without just looking frumpy and feeling big. I hope this will help with my purging, an area I struggle with.

What I find interesting is that this spring, I'm automatically reaching for things that last year would have been stepping ouside my box. All this looking at the fab fashions and advice have really influenced me, even if the weather has stopped me. Today I'm sporting BF's rolled up, with booties... who'd have thunk it! Thanks Angie and you awesome fabbers!

Happily waving good bye to the body con boat. Bon voyage!

Angie- I could not agree more with your enthusiasm. All the possibilities heighten the role of YLF in my spring shopping. You and the YLFers have helped me sift through things much more efficiently, which I especially appreciate since I am shopping from home lately.

Now for the big question on my mind: are we extra lucky this season or is this a reflection of the need for fashion to consistently recognize the different lifestyles, preferences, bodies and phases that drive the need for options? I hope it is the latter.
