Welcome back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-paris/page/2#post-592698 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 19:03:28 +0000 lyn67 592698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanx for sharing your impressions!

You look like you fit right in, very Parisian. What a special time to share with your mom. Such great memories to reflect on for a lifetime. My daughter and I were in Paris last year about this time for a mother daughter trip, we stayed in the Marais area as well (Angie recommendation) Loved it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-paris/page/2#post-592079 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 02:19:19 +0000 Sveta 592079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kyle, thanks. I hope Paris is missing me right now :-)<br /> Jonesy, you may have better luck there as you are one size smaller than me on the bottom. I did not see many tall women there and they are really pretty slim so I guess these sizes work for them...luckily I live in North America: it is so very self image damaging to be in the largest size in the store! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-paris/page/2#post-592071 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 02:10:39 +0000 Jonesy 592071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, patterned pants and kitty kisses :)! I'd probably be sized out too--aren't their any tall women in France?</p> <p>Your kitties must have been so happy to see you (hubby too :)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-paris/page/2#post-592070 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 02:10:34 +0000 Kyle 592070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, Paris has never looked better than with you in it. You do indeed look like a native with your effortless chic style. Your photos are picture postcard perfect. Sounds like the trip of a lifetime! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-paris/page/2#post-592060 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 02:03:23 +0000 Sveta 592060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy, I thought about you in Paris when I saw so many patterned pants in the stores. I was tempted but unfortunately I am not slim enough for French sizes :-(<br /> Thanks for "plumber effect" description - I did not see it in Paris at all.<br /> My kitties were a lot of joy when I got home - I missed them so much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-paris/page/2#post-592051 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 01:57:48 +0000 Jonesy 592051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, it's so great to see these pics of you looking so gorgeous in Paris!!! I have been thinking about you, wondering about how your trip was going. </p> <p>You look really effortlessly chic and glamorous in these pics--truly FAB! I love that you were asked directions in French :). You really nailed the packing for this trip, and it shows so much.</p> <p>The plumber effect refers to men bending down, with low-riding jeans, so you can see the top part of their butt crack (sorry if anyone is grossed out :). </p> <p>Did little Winnie, Pooh, and Tigger give you lots of lovin' when you got home?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-paris/page/2#post-592035 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 01:39:52 +0000 Sveta 592035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for sharing my journey with me and for your compliments. This was the first trip when I felt very confident and I credit YLF and all of you for this feeling!<br /> Rae, I confess I did not get the "plumber effect", I googled it unsuccessfully We stayed in Marais which is apparently a gay bar area so I have seen my share of tight jeans and tops But other than that I did like how Parisian men dressed - actually they left a bigger impression on me that the women.<br /> Parsley, I did not get to COS. I did get a silk scarf in the boutique in Montmartre though... We did not have champagne but we had hot chocolate in Angelina. Pure indulgence!!!<br /> I like your recipe to get my hubby to wear scarves, must follow it!<br /> Sarah A, your hubby is a trooper, I hope he will try the scarves!<br /> Claire, let's figure it out together How about "Get your hubby to wear a scarf" challenge? :-)<br /> Manidipa, that guy in pic.6 really captured my attention: he looked so effortlessly stylish and confident in the same time...I guess my folks thought me crazy to take pictures of this guy :-)<br /> Sona, I will ask my mom about posting her picture: I would need to describe to her what is YLF first though... I think she looked great too: some credit goes to me as I helped her to pack :-)<br /> Angie, I was really happy I listened to you and took the trench!<br /> Suz, my mom loved the trip even though it was not all she expected. I guess her biggest disappointment was the french men: for some reason she expected them to be gallant gentlemen... I told her she mixed them with English :-)<br /> Meredith, I absolutely loved goat cheese and always selected crepes with it in the cafes. My biggest disappointment was that I could not bring cheese to Canada </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-paris/page/2#post-591789 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 20:50:23 +0000 Meredith1953 591789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta,<br /> The photos are so lovely! It reminds me of my trip there last summer with my twin sister, younger sister and 83 year old mother. Your pictures remind me of how much I loved Paris! Did you have a favorite cheese? I discovered so many types of goat cheese and just loved it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-paris/page/2#post-591775 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 20:32:44 +0000 Lisa 591775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like a wonderful trip! I would have asked you for directions too, you fit right in. Just lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-paris#post-591763 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 20:10:19 +0000 morethanbeige 591763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for sharing lovely trip photos.

Paris in full bloom and gorgeous you gracing its parks and landmarks. I'm glad you had a great time with your mom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-paris#post-591624 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 17:07:13 +0000 HelenInCanada 591624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AWESOME pictures, Sveta. Paris looks like a dream in spring...and you look absolutely perfect in every shot. What a fab trip. Lucky, lucky you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-paris#post-591613 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 17:02:54 +0000 Elly 591613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely beautiful photos, beautiful scenery and for the most part I would say you look absolutely Parisian yourself. Gorgeous travel looks and photos. I so hope your mom enjoyed herself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-paris#post-591465 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 13:42:07 +0000 Suz 591465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful, Sveta! No wonder they asked you for directions in French. It is the YLF effect in action; same thing happened to me multiple times in New York. (Well, not the French part, but you know...people actually expecting me to know where I was and where they should go to get where they wanted!) </p> <p>I especially LOVE that polka dot dress. No...I don't just love it. I want it. And I also think the boot cuts work very well with the shoes here for you. You look beautiful and chic in every ensemble. </p> <p>And what a wonderful daughter you are. So glad the trip lived up to your mother's hopes at least in one way or another. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-paris#post-591454 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 13:30:15 +0000 Angie 591454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so stylish in your photos, Sveta! I am glad that you had a wonderful time with your family - despite Mum's expectations! A dream come true :)</p> <p>(Glad that you brought that trench coat too. The weather can turn so easily in Western Europe and you have to be prepared - especailly because you are outside all the time). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-paris#post-591437 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 13:10:42 +0000 Kirti 591437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look tres chic!

I loved reading your travelogue. The outfits you chose were just perfect. I love having different options when I travel too. It's important to be able to change out your clothes and shoes from day to night because they just get grungy from a day of walking in the city. You look very parisienne. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-paris#post-591427 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 13:04:30 +0000 marianna 591427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Reading about your trip and seeing the pictures makes me want to go to Paris right now! Beautiful! You look gorgeous and SO stylish in all the pictures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-paris#post-591419 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 12:51:58 +0000 Sona 591419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta- your Paris musings were so fun to read! And you look gorgeous to boot! I remember the dusty stone covered parks well- shoes do get a lot more wear in Europe and Asia I think. You were asked for directions in French- enough said- on your wonderful wardrobe pics!!<br /> Thanks for sharing this with us. I would love to see a pic of your gorgoeus Mom in Paris too if she would allow? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-paris#post-591389 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 11:16:43 +0000 ButterflyLady 591389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing - you look like a very chic French model, no wonder people thought you were French!
