My eyes welled up - but they were happy tears. WOW. I am touched. </p> <p>Sveta, it's people like you that enrich this community by a billion percent. Your passion, motivation, hard work, open mind, sense of humour, confidence and verve are nothing short of spectacular. You really reap the rewards of attaining a killer style that works for you in every way. Not to mention your spirited NAS adventures that have all on the edge of our seats! </p> <p>I've had the pleasure of meeting you and that was the cherry on top. You are so earnest, wonderful, warm and lovely. Thank YOU for rocking YLF. xoxo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-year-anniversary-and-some-musings/page/2#post-623818 Sat, 19 May 2012 13:26:23 +0000 Sveta 623818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for sharing my YLF journey with me. It was a blast and in a big part because of all of you! I am sorry I did not reply earlier but we had an emergency at work yesterday so no Internet time for me then and in the evening I was too exhausted. I thank you all for lovely comments!<br /> What really surprised me that some of you called me an early trend adopter: I never considered myself this way. I do like to try new things because I get easily bored though and I guess I would rather take risk to try something new than to be bored :-)<br /> VC, that NAS was hilarious but I feel good about it: I had good results because I did a homework and was prepared. Will they remember me? I am afraid they will because I created quite a stir with 2 huge boxes. But Hey, it is not my fault they do not stock all shoes in my size in the store, right?:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-year-anniversary-and-some-musings/page/2#post-623373 Fri, 18 May 2012 21:49:48 +0000 catgirl 623373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, what a fab post! You are an inspiration to me always, not just for your style but for your willingness to try new things and experiment. Love your sentiments here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-year-anniversary-and-some-musings/page/2#post-623364 Fri, 18 May 2012 21:45:37 +0000 Jenava 623364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember when you began posting - in your doorway, I think. And, I remember your closet purges. And, I remember when you started getting new things and how you just seemed to blossom and transform; every post became more sophisticated than the last. Now you are a style icon and your passion and love of clothes is clear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-year-anniversary-and-some-musings/page/2#post-623361 Fri, 18 May 2012 21:43:15 +0000 Jonesy 623361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved reading this heartfelt, wonderful post, Sveta! You have really captured your changes over the past few years--I can relate so much because I think we joined at approximately the same time. You have made such a dramatic style transformation!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-year-anniversary-and-some-musings/page/2#post-623227 Fri, 18 May 2012 18:51:50 +0000 Lisa 623227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on your two years! That's wonderful! It's been a lot of fun watching your style grow and evolve overtime. I always enjoy your outfit posts and feedback.

It is so heartwarming to hear how much YLF means to you - but do remember you give as well as receive! This forum wouldn't be the same without YOU and your contributions and we thank you for that. It's interesting to see your past pics and see your fabulous style grow with your confidence. YOU LOOK FAB!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-year-anniversary-and-some-musings/page/2#post-622890 Fri, 18 May 2012 12:51:32 +0000 missvee 622890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a super post! Looking at the earlier pics, you really have come a long way in your style journey. You always had a good sense of what silhouettes suit you but now you seem so confident in your choices. I think your haircut has complemented the transformation - it's so clean and sharp and simple, it just works with the modern edgy vibe that you've developed. Thanks for posting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-year-anniversary-and-some-musings/page/2#post-622887 Fri, 18 May 2012 12:46:25 +0000 marianna 622887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is wonderful, Sveta! Great post and I resonate with all of it. And your pictures are SO compelling -- what a transformation! You always had great style but you can definitely see that you've become more comfortable in taking risks and being bold with fashion! Love that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-year-anniversary-and-some-musings/page/2#post-622875 Fri, 18 May 2012 12:34:25 +0000 Sona 622875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful post: really enjoyed reading what this journey has meant for you.The pictures are a treat as well!
