I found this site a week ago. Thank you for making me feel so welcome.

Hi

I'm Kirti and I'm new here! Just reading and learning what I can - this is such a useful site!

Hi, joined a few weeks ago and never got around to introducing myself. I came across You Look Fab a few years ago, forgot about it and somehow ran across it again, which is so timely, since it's a goal of mine this year to simplify and to work on, in Oprah-speak, living my "best life." That includes figuring out what works for me stylewise so I can save time, money and energy and put my best self forward. I am married, 32, pear-ish shaped, and from reading recent discussions feel I gravitate toward a somewhat Euro Chic style. I'm excited to learn more from you all!

Hi; I've been lurking for a few months (huge time suck!!!) and finally decided to join. Meanwhile, I've purchased seven of those Nordie layering Ts and another three Nordie camis that Angie recommended. I still have yet to wear them all! My daughter is leaving for college this fall, and I decided I needed to up my style quotient and figure things out without her feedback and critique. Plus, while she is around, I will get her guidance on taking pictures and uploading them. This may take buying a tripod and a lot of experimentation. . . .A further impetus is that I've recently lost about ten or so pounds which isn't a whole lot, but since I seem to have shrunk to 5' 1", it means shrinking close to one size. I have come to realize that even though I can fit into my old clothes, it doesn't mean that I OUGHT to wear them -- even if they aren't worn out!!! In the past few months, I finally, finally got rid of my old, non-slouchy pleated trousers and big shouldered blazers and all those boxy Lands End turtlenecks. I still have a few, um, vintage (25-30 y.o.) items that I would like to wear with YLF approval.

Particularly this year, Angie's blogs have resonated with me, like buying clothes for an imaginary lifestyle. She made me wonder whether I have been taking PPP to an extreme, since recently, I haven't found pants, skirts, or dresses I've liked in 10, 12, or more years. But then on Saturday, I found the perfect dress (for me) at Ross for 1/4 or 1/5 the price I was willing to pay, and it made waiting worthwhile -- ponte knit so comfy and fairly structured, zebra print so fun, long enough to cover most of my elephant knees, and not that drapey knit stuff which is everywhere and absolutely so not me at all.

I feel like Rip van Winkle or Urashima Taro waking up from a long, long sleep. Until a few months ago, I didn't know what booties or shooties were, and that even non-teens were wearing skinnies and tucking them into boots. Yeah, just call me, "Oblivious." Maybe I should change my screen name?

Hello all! I'm a new member from the fine state of NC. I have been looking for a site like this for a while now. I often find myself buying things and never really knowing what to pair it with or how to style it once I'm home. Therefore, I have closets full of pretty things but no creativity. While browsing through past post, I've noticed several inspirations that I would not have come up with on my own. I look forward logging on frequently and reading all the new post. As of right now, I am without a camera so I will be shopping this weekend. Hopefully, in the weeks to come I can post pics and get ya'lls opinions. Now really, you didn't think this southern gal would end a post without using Ya'll?! Thanks again for all the inspiration!!!

HI!
definitely a new user to YLF but love the site so far, I'm Jessica 22 and a fashion designer out of San Francisco

Hello all! Just stumbled across this site so very new. I am a currently job seeking registered nurse in the state of Florida. Scrubs are the normal fashion for work but I like to pull together a fab professional outfit for interviews and casual Fridays. I am 4'11" about 109 pounds with a size 5 and a half shoe (and it is so hard to find shoes in this size, believe it or not!) Just wanted to introduce myself and learn some things about fashion I may have missed.

Hello!
I'm new to the board, but have been a long-time reader. I enjoy the supportive and fun group that I often see here and look forward to a long, learning and sharing relationship with all.
I'm 38, mom of 2, working full time.
Love fashion but hate the price tag. Big budget shopper.

Hello guys, Im glad I found this site!

Hi, I'm Kristin. I'm 40-year-old research scientist and mother. I live in Durham, NC. I have adored Angie's blog for a long time and I am just now getting around to joining the forum. This site has been a true inspiration to me to dress better and smarter (can I just say that the Mom-on-the-go posts have been just about my favorite thing I have found on the internet, ever), but I still need a lot of help. Looking forward to getting a lot of good ideas here!

Thank you so much for this site and forum! It's really helping me to figure out what to wear and helping to boost my confidence.

Hi I am Dawn. I agree with Tiddles, I have lurked here on the forum but now I am finally a registered member. Thanks for this feature Angie!

I am brand new to the site and am so impressed with the politeness, helpfulness and sincerity in all the forum posts I have read so far. Nice job to Angie and all the people who post!

Thank You, Angie (Greg, too!) for setting up this great website, and for the warmth of your welcome.

You have founded a veritable 'treasure-trove' of resources for fashionistas. Since joining, I have spent many happy hours trawling through them, and since I noted this afternoon that I've been promoted to 'active member' status, I look forward to far more, as well as contributing a few French 'words of fashion wisdom (!)', through the new blogging resource. I've also signed up to get regular up-dates via the monthly newsletter, and daily shopping updates. You Look Fab really is fast becoming my 'must-have' daily read! Greetings from the continent of your birth!

This is such a fantastic and awesome site.I just join this site and felt that this is a adorable and gorgeous blog.Sure that i will learn more from here.

Hi! I'm new here. I'm with Belcanto 28 on the politeness, helpfulness, and the sincerity of the posts here. Congratulations YLF forum members for making this such a warm and welcoming community -- you have definitely inspired me to come out of lurking and be a more active part of this group.

Hi everyone. I've been lurking for a really long time, and I wanted to finally introduce myself. I've been a daily blog reader for over a year, and I've been checking out the forums for some time, but more and more lately. Thank you so much to all of you who post on the forums - your generosity and kindness to each other as you give detailed feedback are amazing, and I've picked up so many tips and ideas. Thank you, especially, Angie. I chose several items from your picks from the NAS; they arrived today, and I couldn't be more pleased. I've been ill lately, but once I feel better, I'll try to be brave and post some pics.

Hi,

I just joined. I've been lurking for a while now but don't want pics with my face on the internet so I guess I can blur those right? Angie thank you so much for this blog & forum. I love your style. I am confused about body type & proportions & don't know where to start. The more I read on different sites the more confused I get.

Wow. How is it I've never found this site before now??? So much fantastic info to take in! I have a feeling it's about to be a very late night for me
Looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Hello! I've been lurking for a while and have been to inspired to join by so many of the wonderful ensembles posted! I discovered You Look Fab a few months ago when looking for tips on dressing the pear shape (I'm probably a combo hourglass/pear as I have broad shoulders). I've picked up some great tips from the archives - thanks for being part of a great site and forum!

Yay! This is a fantastic idea!

So pleased to have discovered this wonderful resource to help me in my quest to reinvent my style. I've been lurking for a few weeks while I browsed back through old posts and forum discussions. I'm loving the Karen's Summer Style and Mom-On-the-go series and Angie's Outfits! Fabulous! Thank you so much, Angie and Greg for your expertise and dedication.

hello! happy to be here!

Good morning and thanks for the warm regards at this board . Its always good to meet the people like you .

Hi everyone! I started posting last week but I didn't introduce myself! Sorry about that!. I'm Nat, I am from Spain but live in the US. I work for a designer from Spain, she creates amazing leather bags and accessories. Since I started working for her I have been more interested in the latest trends, although I've always loved fashion! I am 37 years old and I like to dress classy and trendy always, even if I'm just going for groceries, that is a more European thing and, where I live women basically wear suet pants, hoodies and tennis shoes! So I really look like an outsider ha ha ha!
