I'm posting this thread a day earlier as per your request. I'll close the post for links on Wed afternoon.

Back to business, what has recently inspired you on the internet that is fashion and style related?

Thanks, ladies. I always love your links!

Amazing example of the restoration of the cashmere shawl with very illustrative photographs:

It gets even better, the blog author plans to post a series about looking after the cashmere shawls.

I just came across this site the other day and love the examples of how scarves are used in every outfit. Some new and interesting ways to tie them as well as some simple but classic chic wardrobe capsules too.

Not sure how to link all the different days but Kasmira's analysis of her looks 5 years ago and what she'd keep now has been fascinating to me:

Now that's crazy. Ornella and I posted at almost the exact time with the same site. Bizarre!

These tights are very eye-catching and arty. Some of the styles remind me a bit of Wolford hosiery. The third pair (Blockout) is so deliciously mod, swoon.
The pattern will only be visible under a very short skirt or under shorts though, so not for me...

I try to keep these shades in mind as possibilities for expanding my wardrobe palette, and thought they might be good colors for 'blousey twin sets'.

YLF's very own Taylor has trademarked the "pile on the bracelets" look. It's part of her distinctive style, and now it's trending heavily with fashionistas everywhere:

The day you had the blog post featuring the gorgeous Karen I saw this in the Wall Street Journal:

I don't know that I agree with all of Teri's advice but was interested that certain designers were named as being more wearable by older women.

Angie -- you probably know your fellow Dutch (Canadian) blogger Jentine. She has so much style, it hurts! Seriously fab looks on a regular basis and a lot of it is mixed with thrifted finds. It makes me want to fly to Ontario to go thrifting. I love the chic country squire vibe of this outfit:

I wanted to link to that Sal blog post on size, shape, body weight, body love, etc., so now Una can go with her first link without another thought :):

http://www.alreadypretty.com/2.....stats.html

I think it's fascinating that how much we weigh is seen by many as something shameful that needs to be kept hidden. Given this state of affairs, just stating one's weight publicly as Sal does can seem like a radical act.

Wool is antibacterial, Imogen says, so stop overcleaning your clothes. [I don't, anyway, but now I feel so justified. ]

Angie, I might be late again this week! I received an email this morning about something called Bootights: http://www.joyus.com/shop/cate.....n=20010002

Bootights, according to the site, are quality microfiber tights with padded socks built right in. I like the concept and love the idea (since I am one of those who hates wearing socks over tights and my feet are always cold). The price seems reasonable too. The only drawback that I can think of is being limited by the sock length, but I would personally be very happy with just the ankle length socks on the tights since I figure the boots will keep the rest of the leg warm.
