So glad for you Mary and sending a hug back to you. You are remarkable and so is your wardrobe!

I can totally understand. I sometimes find mself shopping ahead for some odd times, as those occures in our lives, when we quite do not expect-and then have to bare with what we have in our closets. So I can totally relate loving your well put together and cared much wadrobe. Hope I'll reach there one day, too:-)

You pretty much set the world on fire in my book EVERY day, Mary

Very well said Mary! We love you too.

That is just the most wonderful feeling, isn't it ? To be able to think to yourself, " I don't know what I am going to wear, but I know it is in my closet and I will look good. "

It is validating in so many ways.


We adore you....

So true. I've been here almost a year & have been working to get my wardrobe in a state where I'm happy with everything. I've still got a ways to go, but it is so much better than it was this time last year. Just last week I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome & it has been so nice to know that while I may be barely standing, I feel good in my clothes while doing it. After hearing my diagnosis, people say, "but you look good."

That's a testament to Angie & all you wonderful YLFers. Thanks. Take care MaryK.

I'm just starting the work of 'curating' my wardrobe, but already reaping results and enjoying the process of editing, and revising. My goal of a 'huggable wardrobe' has yet to be reached, but I know it is tangible.

Thanks so much for your inspirational posts, and 'hugs' right back, MaryK!

Bill Cunningham says your wardrobe is your armour you put on to deal with living your day which I kinda like... and some days you really need your 'kick-butt-chick' gear more than others. Mary you are my fishnet everyday inspiratiin from my very post!! yeah MaryK...

I completely utterly and totally understand what you mean (and it is indeed a wonderful blessing). I feel like getting dressed every morning and the pleasure I derive from that creative process is the only thing I have total ownership of in my life right now. With so many things out of my control, where I don't know the outcome -- it is SO nice to have something that is for me and all about me every single day.

This is so heartwarming and shows the real power of clothing to make a difference. It's NOT shallow and I could not be happier for you to have this kind of comfort in a truly stressful time (which WILL pass, and you will be just as fab on the other side of it).
