Inspiring! My quest now is to find a pair of green flats and a yellow purse.

Thank you for posting this glimpse of your shopping trip and friendship. What fun! You all look so stylish yet comfortable for a day of shopping. I can’t wait to see you wearing the snake print pencil skirt. It sounds like a classic piece.

I had no idea there were YLF ladies in Austin. I’ve never participated in the forum because it’s not my thing, but I’m feeling inspired by reading this. Thank you!

Awesome!!!!! I sooooooo miss Zara stores (theyare not where I live)!

Great post, Patience! Isn’t it magical how this web site has brought people together in real life, too? It’s so much fun to read about the friendship you three have forged.

And BTW, I studied the shoe photo first and was able to correctly guess who belonged to each shoe before looking at the subsequent full-body photos — you each have developed a strong signature style. That speaks to just how well we get to know each other here!

The style quotient of this trio is hotter than the temperatures in Texas! White jeans, ruffles, waistcoats, skinnies, colourful flats, statement handbags and oodles of confidence – you make heads turn for sure. You look fabulous ladies and I’m happy to hear that you had a super time. But it’s your fabulous friendship that really does me proud. To know that it was born and raised on YLF tickles my toes. Fashion fades, but style and friendship is forever. You lucky lasses. I love it!

You are perfect together. How fun that the friendship began here.

Thanks for the insight into your shopping excursion, Patience! It was a joy to read and the photos were great! I’m sure you had a wonderful time and I’m jealous of the new stores you were able to visit! YLF is truly an exceptional place and I’m so thrilled that you three have formed such a great friendship!

Laura, so funny that you said that about the shoes as I did the EXACT same thing!!

It looks like y’all had a great time! Great post and great style!

Thank you for a wonderful post Patience! It sounds like you had a lot of fun on your trip. All of you look amazing! It is so wonderful how many friendships have started thanks to YLF!

It’s always great to hear about real life YLF get togethers! Thanks for telling us about the day and sharing pictures.

Thanks Patience. What a fun day! I live 15 minutes from the Dallas Galleria. I’d love to join in next time; and I go to Austin often. Can you contact me through the forum? I’m a little challenged on this site- so much-and it’s all good!

When I saw the pictures of you lovely ladies strolling through the mall, I was in awe: you look incredibly stylish (and it shows you are having fun)!!

Thank you for sharing your shopping experience with us Patience. Sounds like you scored some super pieces! And a shopping road trip with good friends is music to my ears. I think it’s amazing how the three of you have hit it off. Here’s to many more shopping outings and other get-togethers!

So the question for the day: IS orange the new pink? After seeing this post and also watch this gal in the office walk by in an orang blazer, grey graphic T w/ orange lettering, I can’t help wondering if I shouldn’t try it myself. Cuz. It. Looks. Fabulous!

I can wear the popular-for-this-season sunny yellow/banana color as well as reds that aren’t too tomato-ey… Maybe I should take the plunge. The only thing close to orange I’ve worn was more in the rust/copper/autumn leaf family. Hmmmmm.

I love reading these posts and seeing everyone’s style on the streets! What fun you must have together. You all looked fantastic!

Patience, thank you for sharing your lovely day. How fun it is to spend the day shopping with good friends! You all looks so stylish. I love the shoes and handbags. Oh, and to be able to wear your summer clothes already! Perfect!

Thank you, everyone! We really had a great time that day and I feel so lucky to have Sarah and Ana as my friends and shopping buddies. Laura and Dani, that’s hilarious that you picked out shoes first thing. Carolyn, I will be looking for you on the forum. And yes, Inge, we already have a trip to Anthropologie in the works.

hi..can someone throw a light on this YLF grouping..im new to angie’s blog..but would love to get to know more pple in my city..

Hi Patience, you all look so awesome. This is my first time posting. I also live in Austin (NW Austin) so I will definitely have to get together with you, Sarah and Ana. I was at the domain last weekend and they are getting a Zara there soon so I am really excited. Anyways hope to meet you guys:)

Thanks for sharing this lovely experience with all of us. You all looked beautiful! How wonderful that you have become such close friends.

Patience, thank you for sharing. I’m so glad to hear Ana, Sarah and you had a terrific outing. You all look beautiful and happy.

Hee, Laura, I did the same thing when I saw the bags photo: I matched the bags to their owners.

Patience, thanks for sharing this great write-up and your pictures. What a fantastic friendship! This blog and forum have changed so many lives positively, and that’s fab.

It looks like you really had a a great time! And you all looked so stylish too, from head to toe.

Angie this post warms me so! I’m always around even though I don’t post as your expertise combined with your wit are fun fun fun but as a fellow blogger I know that you must feel absolutely amazing at what you’re site has blossomed!

Kudos! And I really like that blue jacket!

You’re in my city, The Big D . . . how fun to know that YLF came close.

That is a large mall and I didn’t know they had a Kate Spade store.

The trip was a lot of fun, and Patience did a great job on the write-up! The best part was that I brought that hat home with me (just kidding).

Carolyn, it would be great if you could join us when you’re in town. Do you ever get down this way, Carissa? We’d love to meet you as well. The more, the merrier.

What a fabulous post! Love hearing about the great shopping trip. You all look GORGEOUS and super stylish. Are we going to see pictures of your new goodies??
Thanks Patience for the fun write-up!

I enjoy reading these posts about YLF get-togethers and shopping finds. You all look very stylish in the photos–I love the orange tops and that cobalt blue blazer!

I want to add that you have a wonderful writing style Patience. Thankyou for writing the post.
You 3 are absolutely beautiful and comfortable and natural with your style. It’s no wonder you have become such good friends.

Sarah I wish I could see your shoes better.

My shoes were actually swapped to me from Patience! They’re cute Aerosole wedges. I had a wonderful time, and I love how Patience captured our day in her write up. Ana and Patience are such dear friends and I’m thankful to Angie and YLF for making it possible.
And yes, I did nab that cobalt jacket!

What a fun trip for all of you, thank you for sharing your experience! Some day maybe we’ll have something like this in the midwest!
