I do enjoy the dressy 70s looks a lot and they tend to work for me. </p> <p>Yes Rhoda was awesome too! And putting the necklace over the top was a last minute call. I will definitely repeat this look - and even try it with blue jeans and different shoes.</p> <p>I love this jacket but haven’t quite found the way to wear it but may have it now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-which-i-break-my-vow#post-2411088 Wed, 22 Apr 2026 07:44:12 +0000 Sal 2411088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great Suz and this is a perfect wildcard. Undertones make a huge difference in the pastel shades I find - this pink would not be good for me……</p> <p>I look forward to seeing your other purchases. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/week-2-of-fabiversary-pics-galore#post-2411087 Wed, 22 Apr 2026 07:40:31 +0000 Sal 2411087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh how lovely!

And <b>Jaime</b>, yes, the irony was not lost on me! <b>Karie</b>, you are one who looks FAB in pink, including pink hair! You make it look cool, not overly sweet. <b>Kyle,</b> thank you! You would suit this, too.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, yes -- wildcard workhorse, that elusive and always welcome beast! Thanks for posting the photo - it's great!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Star,</b> you made me laugh! Now everyone will be searching out kids' departments everywhere...</p> <p><b>Sharan</b>, thanks again for holding my stuff and helping me decide!</p> <p><b>Carla</b>, thanks! I can see how it could work with lilacs, too...maybe your raincoat is similar, in a way.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/week-2-of-fabiversary-pics-galore#post-2411080 Wed, 22 Apr 2026 04:19:04 +0000 JAileen 2411080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another fabulous get together - everyone looks wonderful! &nbsp;And the food looks pretty darn good, too. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/as-an-antidote-to-shopping-disappointments-do-we-have-some-successes-to-share#post-2411079 Wed, 22 Apr 2026 04:14:50 +0000 Suz 2411079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have successes to share, for sure! Some coming up in my Fabiversary posts.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am finding that my preferred brands/ stores are shifting, however. For example -- I used to do very well at J. Crew. This year, I haven't found a single thing that I liked and that worked on me, either online or in person.&nbsp;</p> <p>Whereas Banana Republic, which for about five years was an almost total loss for me, to the point where I'd stopped even looking, has, in the past two years, netted me many successes, and all at sale prices. True, not everything I've ordered has worked. But the items I have kept seem to be holding up and are serving me very well.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm also doing well at Simon's. Again, I do not keep every item ordered. But this is to be expected when shopping online.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1970s-wide-legs-go-to-work#post-2411078 Wed, 22 Apr 2026 04:11:56 +0000 Debbie 2411078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great.

I'm especially sad that I missed that Malaysian meal. But really, I can hardly complain, because every meal we ate was fab.&nbsp;</p> <p>It was so great to see <b>Anna </b>again and to meet <b>Inge</b> and <b>Kyle</b> in person.&nbsp;</p> <p>The loafers in 23 were my miracle -- they actually stayed on my feet! At least with the help of a half insole in front, provided by a smart sales associate. Of course I bought them.

Just wonderful. How could I possibly have missed out on such a joyful celebration? Meeting Inge and Susan was truly the icing on the cake. Angie has built a community that goes way beyond fashion. It is a sisterhood where kindness, support, and compassion reign supreme. I’m so grateful that I was able to thank and congratulate her in person.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/week-2-of-fabiversary-pics-galore#post-2411069 Wed, 22 Apr 2026 03:39:05 +0000 Cookie 2411069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awww, you all look so happy (as well as stylish of course). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-bag-recommendations-1#post-2411068 Wed, 22 Apr 2026 03:29:00 +0000 Debbie 2411068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie I love that tote and will order one.

Laugher, and sharing like old friends was very welcome. <b>Anna </b>was wearing cats! I was wearing Yorkies - the Yorkie Levi's jacket <b>Anna </b>found for me!!! &nbsp;:)&nbsp;</p> <p>Fabulous Queen Sassy&nbsp;<b>Kyle</b> flew in from Arizona to be with us, and the fun and shopping continued in full force!!! We had incredibly supportive &nbsp;conversations like besties, and <b>braved the crazy wet and windy Winter weather on foot in style!</b> Our raincoats are KILLER awesome! We stayed dry! We shopped up a storm, and put together a brilliant smart casual capsule for <b>Inge</b> in blues and whites. ESSENTIALS!! I'm sure <b>Inge</b> will share that with you when she's back in Belgium. Apart from shopping and yakking till the cows come home, we ate at our favourite restaurants in my neighbourhood in Belltown, and walked in the arboretum.<b> Kyle's </b>wisdom, warmth, and fabness is always a treat We had to eat at her favourite Malaysian restaurant! Oh! And <b>Inge</b> looked soooooo good in a pair of Arizia navy pinstriped trousers that I had to get them too. <b>Kyle</b> and <b>Suz</b>&nbsp;have them on order! Influenced quadruplets!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Kyle</b> and <b>Suz</b> met! Although we forgot to take a pic :(&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Suz</b> came in from Victoria, Canada - (2.5 hr Clipper boat ride that docks right outside our loft!) - a couple of days before the BIG gathering on Saturday to get extra FABBING and shopping in with us! We shopped all day at the big mall - which meant I DROVE - and <b>Suz</b> hit the jackpot. <b>Suz</b> will share her treasures with you herself ;)&nbsp;</p> <p>We got together again with <b>Anna </b>for the best Hong Kong food in Seattle and had a very animated evening! We laughed and engaged with enormous familiarity. &nbsp;<b>Suz </b>stayed another two days - and more about that later.&nbsp;</p> <p>KILLER FABULOUS ALL ROUND!!! Thank you sooo much <b>Kyle </b>and <b>Suz </b>for traveling to see us!!! TOUCHED. Thank you <b>Anna</b>! We loved seeing so much of you! You all made YLF's 20 years extra special and I'm in awe. Love your GOOD energy. xo</p> <p><b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-bag-recommendations-1#post-2411059 Wed, 22 Apr 2026 02:47:33 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2411059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought this backpack and matching belt bag to take on a Europe trip, and they worked well. I carried the belt bag across my body, bag in front, for most days. When I wanted to have more with me, like an umbrella and water bottle, I carried the backpack. And I carried the belt bag in the backpack on the plane. The backpack has a strap across the back so you can slip it over the handle on a rolling suitcase--very handy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-goodies-from-fabiversary-gathering#post-2411058 Wed, 22 Apr 2026 02:42:15 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2411058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super outfit, Sarah!
