I am glad that your wardrobe served you well. Good luck with settling in at new place and keep us updated on your new work look.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-love-letter#post-1321329 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 02:19:00 +0000 Carla 1321329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't posted to WIW or contributed to conversations in the past 2 months to the same extant as I have previously, since joining about 18 months ago. I know folks are understanding and forgiving, and some who 'know' me understand that the reasons for my diminished participation has been due to a big relocation and all that entails.</p> <p>What I want to say with this post, is how much I appreciate everything I have learned from Angie, and forum members. Because of what I have learned, and the way I have managed (curated) my wardrobe since joining, I had all the 'go to' outfits appropriate for the occasions encountered, and this went very far in enhancing my confidence and comfort level. I felt that I struck the appropriate classic casual vibe when dealing with lawyers and bankers and real estate folks. I was comfortable but able to be authoritative with the movers and trades people I needed to deal with. I had appropriate work apparel to finish my last days in my old community, and to make a good impression at HO when I started there. I was able to pack a stylish capsule for a week in a hotel, and 2 weeks without a washer and dryer. </p> <p>And, I didn't have to do anything special, because it was all 'there' for me. I had already done the work. </p> <p>There will be some style shifts in the future. I'm getting a very definite and more formal work apparel vibe from work, and finally I have access to better quality (and ever so much variety) in the areas in which I live and work. </p> <p>However, I wanted to somehow thank Angie, her helpers, and the forum members, who have been so good to me, and helped me so much, because A day didn't go by that I was able to dress deliberately and from my closet, and they way I dressed supported me in whatever that day's activities entailed.</p> <p>So, a big THANK YOU!! </p>
