I am just a big copycat- what about you?

After seeing morethanbeige's pictures of the Banana Republic tank I went to the site and ordered it. I've wanted a yellow bag for months and after all the discussion about yellow bags here on YLF I bought a yellow RM Mini Nikki from Bonanzle. What was the last thing you bought after seeing it on YLF?

i think the last thing I bought after seeing it here was the Target moto jacket back in Jan (although I'd only seen the cream on here and I got the black).

The Michael Kors "Astor" satchel.

That piece of copycattery is documented here: http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....or-satchel

The great thing about YLF, though, is that we all live in different parts of the world. You could totally copy someone's whole outfit and no one in your town would know.

That would be Nordstrom's BP camis. Not that any YLF'er running into me would notice though since they're a mostly hidden layer.

I'm with Taylor, I'm starting to steal lots of good ideas from here; there's such a rich mine of them to dig through!

Ha! I've shamelessly bought Kristen's KA-Kohl's dresses, Mamapicklejuice's leather jacket and YLF undies and denim. Imitation really is is the sincerest form of flattery:)

From Angie's post: Gap denim shirt

From laura and april (maybe april, although she did not keep it): CK stitched seam dress

From queenie: Karen Kane v-neck dress (I think it was an Angie recommendation too). Express cropped denim jacket and cream JouJou moto (it would seem I owe queenie a great big THANK YOU!!

I know there is more, but if I leave the computer to look in my closet, my 15-y.o. will grab it

I figure as long as we are not all running in the same circles, we can have the same wardrobes!
Sara- I'm humbled to have inspired you so much

I ran right out and hunted down Marianna's Michael Kohrs polka dot blouse after seeing it on her. I also tried the gap denim shirt but it didn't work out on me. I know there's more but I can't think of it right now.

On Angie's recommendation I have the Nine West dress and Clarks Smooch sandals. I really want to copy Khris' denim vest, but I'm trying to show some restraint these days.

The last YLF item I bought was the Gap denim shirt I picked up on clearance last week and wore for the first time today. I swore I'd never do the denim shirt thing, but what can I say? Seeing it on everyone else made it grow on me!

I also bought the Michael Kors polka dot sheath dress and the Nine West dress, although I returned that.

I've almost ordered Kristen's Franco Sarto Deer shoes several times because she totally rocks those things: (waving to Kristen!)

The pleather Nordstrom's caramel moto that Rosie has.

Today, I just bought some similar cargo clams that Mrs. Anne posted.

The nine west fushcia patterned dress that so many of us have from the YLF store; Anthropologie tie up shoes that Medusa had - unfortunately they ran a size too small and so didn't fit and were out of my real size

I'm honored Lynne that you would purchase something after seeing it on me and I am copying YLFers ALL the time, there is so much inspiration here.

The BR ruffle tank in the store.

Oh, yes, I just ordered the Hinge sleeveless denim vest that greenglove, cciele, and chewyspaghetti have (I think that's right). (If you are on the fence -- um, queenie -- it was now $29.97 and they are sending one from another store. The SA said the price means that they will soon be headed for NRack

I have made mad dashes to stores to try on many things I have seen here. Thankfully they don't always look so great on me and I am saved!

The clams that inspired AJ are ones that I copied from a post on here.

I also bought the Nordstrom pleather moto jacket that AJ has and that Angie linked to in a blog post.

Only reason I bought (or even tried on!) a denim vest was because of seeing it on the YLF forum. I probably wouldn't have given it a second glance if not for having seen it styled on regular women. Mucho thanks to greenglove and chewyspaghetti for that one!

I've also been eyeing up a faux pearl bracelet at Kohl's by Vera Wang. Again, never would've thought of adding pearls to the mix if not for Angie's influence.

My BR ruffled tops came today, and I am thrilled beyond belief. I got the blue and 2 colors of a print. They are flattering; sleek yet not clinging to the flubbery bits in the middle and with wide enough shoulder fabric that you don't have to worry about bra straps or other modesty issues.
