You are an inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apology-to-ylf-and-angie#post-559341 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 21:32:56 +0000 DonnaF 559341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My apologies, too (head hung in shame and embarrassment). I pressed *Enter* when I should have pressed *Delete*. Love your WIWs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apology-to-ylf-and-angie#post-559294 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 20:47:42 +0000 Isabel 559294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to agree with Rose and Joan. You are such a role model to me. It takes guts and humility and so much dignity to apologize. I, as part of your posse, egged you on. So I apologize also.</p> <p>We have ALL been there in one way or another.</p> <p>XXXXXXXXX </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apology-to-ylf-and-angie#post-559279 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 20:43:09 +0000 RoseandJoan 559279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, you have such dignity and grace, I am sorry someone upset you in this way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apology-to-ylf-and-angie#post-559223 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 20:13:46 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 559223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I do not think you need to apologize however I respect and commend you for your feelings in this regard. Onward and upward, girl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apology-to-ylf-and-angie#post-559170 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 19:42:38 +0000 rae 559170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While I don't regret anything I wrote (I guess I just feel very strongly about calling a spade a spade and letting people know when their behavior is so fantastically out of line), I am sorry that it has made you uncomfortable, and I will try to remember this in the future. </p> <p>Yes, you are right that part of the magic of this place is the positive and friendly attitude. Maybe that makes me all the more shocked by remarks that are NOT framed in a positive and friendly way. :T </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apology-to-ylf-and-angie#post-559129 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 19:21:38 +0000 ironkurtin 559129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie is lovely to keep things so positive. Shannon, I hope you are able to take the good from the bad and hear how strongly we support you... although yes, maybe we shouldn't so angrily drag down the ones we hear about who so verbally don't!</p> <p>We should all be ladylike. Thanks for the reminder, everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apology-to-ylf-and-angie#post-559126 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 19:19:00 +0000 ManidipaM 559126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, you are a graceful, lovely, positive, FABULOUS person with oodles of patience and wisdom. </p> <p>Yes, I see your point about public access and getting personal, and appreciate how you can feel less than fabulous about that post --- even though I completely understand the frustration that led to it, which was just a mindboggling level of (er, trying to be objective and charitable) nonplussedness that would have tried a saint's sanity!</p> <p>I admire your courage, forthrightness and generosity of spirit. It takes confidence and self-respect and class to buck the trend and look fabulous --- and even more confidence and self-respect and class to step back and take our own worse instincts in hand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apology-to-ylf-and-angie#post-559114 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 19:01:06 +0000 HelenInCanada 559114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I disappeared to Niagara Falls for a few days and I missed the whole thing! </p> <p>If you feel you owe Angie and Greg an apology, so be it Shannon. I agree that any negative comments can wind up easily accessed online, exposing conflicts that one or both parties may wish to keep private. </p> <p>I DO understand how frustrating it can be to deal with difficult people, though. Hopefully the situation at work will improve, or barring that, hope you can handle it painlessly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apology-to-ylf-and-angie#post-559102 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 18:52:20 +0000 Victoria 559102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I don't think you have anything to applogize for-your coworker was very rude without a question. I honestly don't know why in the world she would think that your outfit was a mess because I think it lookes great and mix of colors is awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apology-to-ylf-and-angie#post-559098 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 18:47:39 +0000 Elly 559098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Understood, obviously I should have read this comment before I posted. I don't think I said anything about her, except that it was exceptionally rude and inappropriate to call anyone a "hot mess" that you don't have an extremely close personal relationship that includes friendly joking/teasing . . . and even then I would question doing it at work. </p> <p>You looked great today, i think you put together a very rich combination of colors, textures, and pattern and it was inspiring-- and trendy but classic. Perhaps you could re-post just a WIW? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apology-to-ylf-and-angie#post-559080 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 18:39:56 +0000 Anonymous 559080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would like to add my apology as well . I guess I got carried away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apology-to-ylf-and-angie#post-559079 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 18:38:34 +0000 Sunita 559079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I understand Shannon...please don't feel bad. Sending positive thoughts your way!</p> <p>Believe in your fabulousness...we do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apology-to-ylf-and-angie#post-559077 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 18:37:30 +0000 catgirl 559077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, that is quite true. I would be concerned about that with the Redneck Paralegal, except that I call him that in person too. It's a joke between us, and believe me, he has some choice nicknames for me too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apology-to-ylf-and-angie#post-559072 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 18:34:05 +0000 Transcona Shannon 559072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's not just about the negativity. As Angie so kindly and wisely pointed out to me, this is a public forum and there is always the chance that someone we may be speaking about in an unkind way will end up seeing those comments in the big wide cyber world. I would never want anything I say to come back and cause greater difficulties for me, any other member of YLF, and especially not Angie (or Greg for that matter). This place is too important to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apology-to-ylf-and-angie#post-559070 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 18:31:08 +0000 Suz 559070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Shannon! Big hugs. </p> <p>If anyone is at fault it would be us for (perhaps clumsily) trying to defend you. I think many of us have used the forum as a refuge or sounding board when someone has commented negatively about our outfits. And truly, your patience is sorely tested in that situation and I honestly you are dealing with something well out of the bounds of ordinary. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apology-to-ylf-and-angie#post-559063 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 18:26:27 +0000 catgirl 559063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I appreciate your sentiments. I don't feel there's any reason for you to apologize - it sounds like you are getting genuine grief for how you choose to dress, and that aspect is certainly a topic worth discussing here. </p> <p>I try to refrain from too much negativity only because I get enough of it at work myself with my clients and their situation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apology-to-ylf-and-angie#post-559052 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 18:19:52 +0000 modgrl 559052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Apparently no one else is sorry for what we may have said about her! </p> <p>We're just sorry that you have to work with her. </p> <p>I love that you stretch yourself and try new things every day. Apparently she does not. I wonder if there is a way to tactfully ask her to keep her opinions to herself? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apology-to-ylf-and-angie#post-559046 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 18:16:35 +0000 Transcona Shannon 559046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*bump* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/apology-to-ylf-and-angie#post-558963 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 17:00:41 +0000 Transcona Shannon 558963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would like to publicly apologize to Angie and YLF members for my WIW post this morning. Although the commentary regarding my outfit and why I chose it is fine and warranted, the negative comments regarding my co-worker were not. </p> <p>In no way would I ever want to make Angie or anyone else uncomfortable and would certainly NEVER want to show YLF in a negative light. One of the things I appreciate the most on this forum is the kindness, constructive commentary, and polite manners exhibited at all times.</p> <p>I appreciate all of your support but from this point forward, will not be mentioning any direct comments from work. I have also requested to have the thread removed from the forum. </p>
