S/O lurkers

Come on in and introduce yourselves even if you don't participate much

What got you interested in lurking on the S&B board and how did you find us?

Hello!
I admittedly didn't really lurk, I just kinda jumped right in. I love fashion, so I think a board like this is really fun. I used to post on TK. I also just started posting on the TTTC board.

I've been posting off and on for the last several months, but I can't seem to do it with any consistency.

I love fashion and make up, so I naturally gravitated to this board. I used to be really active on the boards when things were over on The Knot/Nest. I got divorced four years ago and needed a break for a while.

I've lurked and not participated for many reasons.
1. I am not creative and never felt like I have much to offer. I suck at accessorizing.
2. I also am not good at Pinterest. There are a lot of people on this board who have great fashion ideas and it's helped me branch out.
3. My body has not gone back to a state after DD where I feel like I look good in pictures and it makes me self conscious. There are so many ladies who know how to dress for their body type and always look fantastic. It's a little intimidating.

I'd like to try and participate more.

I also suck at using Pinterest. For some reason, my feeble brain can't seem to wrap around how to use it. I usually just end up Googling something that I'd like to style and then a Pinterest link will pop up. Works for me.

As for participating more...I'm with you there. My full length mirror situation in my life sucks. The light comes in from the back, so I feel like you can never see what I'm wearing with full detail. Maybe I should just take pictures and go for it.

I try to post when I can and I migrated over from TN.

I fail at OOTD posting though, but WFH so really only have an AM outfit once a week. I shop quite a bit though so I should take pics!

[polarbearfans]

I mainly use the app so I see everything. I read what looks interesting, and participate when I want to. There are many posts I start and then delete because I don't have time to proofread/edit or my response got away from me and I don't want to retype lol

I like seeing the outfits and reading about the trends, so I pop in from time to time.

Hi!! I'm a lurker. I wandered over from TK. I mostly hang out around Health and Fitness and over at the treehouse. (another TK spin off)

I love this board! I like to shop my favorite places are jcrew, banana, loft, and I'm obsessed with Tieks. My favorite shoes after Jcrew shoes.

I like seeing where other peopleshop it helps me branch out!

Hi, I'm a longtime lurker. I have been on GBCN since its inception and was on the place-that-shall-not-be-named before that. I don't always have the time to post while at work, so I just read. I hang out here, on MM, ML and CE&P.

I am always on the look out for ideas, I follow a few people on Pinterest, and I love the shopping deals. I just bought the J.Crew utility vest (LOL) because I'm loving what I see here. I will say the skimmies were a fail (was that MM, or here?). I don't get them at all.

sb9411 - hey girl heyyy

Hi! I've been slowly starting to post over here. I admittedly have been bad about OOTD.

I was on the E board on TK for a long time and I still participate in the spin-off of that. I've lurked GBCN for awhile since there are tons of posters I remember from TK.

 I'm married, have a fluffy (well, not now since we got his hair cut) pom named Moose who I think will be internet famous one day. I hope to get to know everyone on here - seems like a pretty cool group!

Hi, I'm nikolita. I mostly ask questions and buy some of the fun things that you girls recommend. I'll most likely participate more if I ever get a smartphone. But I'm too lazy to take pictures with my regular camera and download. I have 3 kids all 18 months apart so I have a permanent spare tire. It sucks!

I also gbcn while at work... so its not real consistent.

[nikolita]

I have also 'liked' way more than 21 things on here. I feel like my stats are misrepresented!

Took the words out of my mouth.  All this is me too.

[hiero7]

I have lurked on and off since TK. I had another account name a couple years ago that I posted OOTDs from but I can't remember the login info and I no longer use the email it was linked to. Now, I have a strange work schedule and am usually asleep or still in pajamas while everyone else is posting their outfits.

[cabbage10]

I have been here since the migration. I mostly post in ML and sometimes MM. Thanks to this board I own amazing Melissa buttons, "the suit" and last years target glitter flats.

I am a teacher and leave for work at 610 est. by the time I get home from my tutoring OOTD is mostly dead.

[kmohr]

Hello all! I mostly lurk and post here very rarely. I have issues finding cute clothing for work because I'm plus size. Many of the ladies here have inspired me to try different things and I appreciate it! I love looking at the OOTDs to get styling ideas. I think I started lurking shortly after my son was born to get ideas since I was feeling in a style rut. I will try to post more and mayeb even throw in an OOTD once in awhile!

[Alex]

I'm Alex. Hi
I've lurked for quite a while. I have some medical issues that sometimes make me not have the energy to care about my style for a while (pixie pants and t-shirts only). I'm in a good place right now though and enjoy getting ideas from the OOTD threads.

I think it's how many times people have liked your posts.

[bimbi284]

For those that can't post in the morning, there's no harm in posting later in the day or even posting your outfit the following day, which is what I often have to do!

Agreed!

Also- welcome everyone! I hope you'll stick around and start posting more. It'll be nice to get some new peeps in the mix!

cab1217 - aww thank you!! Hopefully it's a good remember lol!

[kellydelq]

Hi! I mostly read and ask questions, came over from TN/TK and I frequent here and H&F... I love fashion but unfortunately my budget no longer allows for splurging like it did pre-kids/married life. I love seeing OOT and that many of you shop in a range of places. I also feel like I am stuck in the mom zone sometimes and my sense of style has gone stale. You ladies give me outfit ideas that I would never think to put together, it's refreshing! I am mostly here during regular work hours and am trying to participate more in OOT but I can only get a good pic in my boss's office mirror which obviously is not always easy!

[cerseerenee]

Hi everyone! I'm Christina.

I've lurked for a little while. Was pretty active on the Nest for awhile, but mostly on the Book Club board. Then went through a nasty divorce (swore off anything related to TN or TK), and haven't found the energy to start posting.

I love getting ideas from everyone, and someday I swear I'll make an effort to post an OOTD. I spend time on here when I'm procrastinating & avoiding studying for my CPA exam.

[lovethesun]

Hello! I am mostly a lurker as I dont have much fashion sense at all! I wish I did, that is why I lurk on this board as I hope I will see something that I love and cant live without. I enjoy everyones feedback and fashion sense. I usually stop by to read stuff when I am bored at work (quite a bit) or on my lunch break!

[niknik]

I am not a lurker as I've been on here daily since the mass move-over but I don't post pics. I actually don't know how to do it and even if I did, I work in a converted barn and don't wear much more than sweats or comfy jeans to work. I've gained a lot of weight in the last 2 years and have to go on a diet per my Dr. (or I will have a heart attack and die, nice) so hopefully I will get more involved in dressing cute again and I am very inspired by all of you

Not a lurker but coming back after a couple (?) months away. I have been lurking the last couple of weeks though.

I was *just* thinking about you the other day thinking I hadn't seen you around!

[char217]

I lurked for 6 years before I posted an OOTD! So glad I finally did and now you can't stop me! JUST DO IT!

[pesci]

Hi. I was active on TB when I was pg, occasionally posted on MN, and then followed everyone over here a couple years ago. I started lurking here to get work outfit inspiration after being a SAHM for the last couple years.  I'll try to post more so I don't seem so creepy.
