I left my purchases at Nordstrom (didn't want to carry the bag to lunch) and had to go pick them up this afternoon. Went into the dressing room and there was a lovely older woman trying on items. She asked my opinion on a leather jacket, and we had such a great time breaking down what worked and didn't work about it that I ended up staying TWO hours talking with her! We went through all her items and she (and I myself) were amazed at how much I was able to pinpoint why each item was a keep or a toss. The SA finally told me I should just work part time at Nordstrom, and the woman ended up taking my number to get some legal work done. She had a great sense of style already, and it was so much FUN to shop with someone who was paying the same attention to fit and detail. In fact, she ended up convincing me to buy the faux shearling jacket that she had tried on.

I told her that ALL of this knowledge came from YLF and that she should join the site to learn for herself how wonderful Angie and this community are! I really hope she does join...
