				<description>&#060;p&#062;Sorry for being so late to this party (I've been away) but I just HAD to say welcome back, Shannon.  It is so great to see you posting again, and even better to hear that things are going well for you now. I really look forward to seeing some pics, and reading your insufhtful musings. Yay!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Hey Shannon, I don't think Eileen Fisher and I will ever part ways...however, I do not buy anything oversized any longer. She has many items that fit the bill and I have to pace myself and shop her sales LOL. &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I look forward to seeing your new purchases and how you style them.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;And I agree....stupid menopause.....

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Great to see you again Shannon! We missed you! Can't wait to see your new hair and lovely smile again. I hear you on the weight gain (me too!) but you always look fab so can't wait to see more WIWs from you.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Seeing you back on the forum just brightened my day, Shannon! How brilliant:-)&#060;br /&#062;And you are not going to believe this, but I was actually wondering this weekend how you were doing. What a coincidence.&#060;br /&#062;I currently can't spend as much time on the forum as usual as my father is very ill, but I'm so looking forward to seeing you sport your fab outfits again, and it's going to be fun seeing how your style evolves. Go Team Retro indeed!-)&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Those Matisse booties look excellent, do keep us posted pretty please?

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Welcome back dear Shannon!&#038;nbsp; I too hoped that you wouldn't take a break forever. Like many of us, I take breaks from time to time too - occasionally from the blog, sometimes from the forum - and often I make the exception that I'll keep up with the off topic tab, so I can hear people's news. I certainly wasn't offended by your departure, though a bit sad for us!&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I'd love to see your longer hairstyle!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Shannon! &#038;nbsp;So good to see you. &#038;nbsp;I wasn't around when you bowed out but I'm back too (back for the SECOND time, she said sheepishly.)&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I remember the rough time you were having (MIL; new job; lots of stress) and am glad to hear that there's more positivity in your life these days. &#038;nbsp;Great that you're here again!
&#060;/p&#062;
