With the spate of ill-mannered people making negative comments when our forum members turn up at work looking outside-the-local-norm fab, I thought we might enjoy this fab piece entitled "How not to Care What Other People Think of You." http://rookiemag.com/2012/01/h.....nk-of-you/

My favorite lines: "You have to challenge anyone who gives you a funny look with a look of your own. Or don’t acknowledge them at all, because they’re not worth it! What will happen is that you will walk by and go on with your life feeling good that nobody’s got you down, and they’ll stand there a little dumbfounded."

This woman consults with clients on shopping for their dream lingerie wardrobe. (She might be like the Angie of Undergarments). I'm on her mailing list and just got an update for a new feature she calls Lingerie University. It gives women a primer in understanding the basics about lingerie, as well as which styles work well with their body types. The site looks like it's still under construction, but it's a helpful and intriguing addition to the discussion we have here on YLF around our outerwearm ,and I hope she continues to update so we can all become happy, savvy and ambitious lingerie shoppers

You can upload your favourite picture or painting here and this site then shows you color palletes you can use for dressing based on that. It's fun!

Sarah's post on "way out of my comfort zone" reminded me of this depiction of how magic starts where our comfort zone ends.

It is a good reminder to live our lives and be open to trying new things.

This young woman is impossibly chic. Her polished, elegant, modern style is divine. Strong and simple gets me every time.

I think Sally's suggestions on small steps that you can take to shake things up in your wardrobe are fun, non-threatening and easy to do without purchasing a whole bunch of new wardrobe items! She suggests do-able challenges that even the most timid of us can no doubt pull off with pizzazz

I must be an old fuddy duddy. I don't care how expensive they are, or if famous people are wearing them, I'm just hoping the pajamas in public is a short-lived fad.

I became intrigued by Inge's post about Nostalgia in Vogue. I logged in to Amazon to read Joan Didion's Turning Point, written about when she worked at Vogue and was struggling to become a writer. I related to what she wrote here:
"images that taught those of us who were children
and adolescents in the immediate postwar years what it was going to like
to be grown up women. The preferred look... remote, adored by the eye behind
the camera but slightly bored by the circumstances in which the camera
caught us, a little too absorbed with our pearls or our cigarettes or our
martinis."

I had never heard of Jean Patchett by name. Here is a website that's dedicated
to that ordinary girl who came to personify bored and self-absorbed chic.

Heel wearers walk by engaging their muscles, non-heel wearers stretch and stress their tendons. Aesthetics aside, tendon usage is thought to be more efficient biomechanically.

I found this post about "The casual shirts every guy should own" from Dappered.com helpful in updating DH's casual wardrobe.
