Fern, I wondered if someone would pick up on that. Also, the picture that's visible in the center, which was missing for several months when the frame broke, was put back up. I'm so proud of myself - I have all shopping done and presents wrapped. I've never been so "together" the week before Christmas as opposed to frantically running around for last minute gifts...</p> <p>Una, I beg to differ. I just peeked over at your pics and I think you're a knockout! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-thank-you-anthro-striped-dress-bs-new-specs#post-493605 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 02:13:42 +0000 fern 493605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You both look fantastic.<br /> I also like the changes to your background in the dress sequence - plain fireplace, then tree &amp; presents! fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-thank-you-anthro-striped-dress-bs-new-specs#post-493604 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 02:06:27 +0000 catgirl 493604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, Kari! I love the dress and the specs. You really know how to wear this dress - I don't think I'm going to be nearly the fab bombshell you are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-thank-you-anthro-striped-dress-bs-new-specs#post-493601 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 02:04:57 +0000 Refugee 493601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are rockin' that dress! And B made an excellent specs choice. You are quite the stylish pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-thank-you-anthro-striped-dress-bs-new-specs#post-493594 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 01:58:39 +0000 Kari 493594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is days overdue, but I just wanted to say thank you for all of the incredibly kind birthday wishes this past weekend. While I'm sorry I didn't have time to respond right away, your messages truly had me in tears. I am so touched and feel incredibly blessed to be part of such a fantastic community of women. Thank you so much for your encouragement, support, and friendship.</p> <p>My birthday was a really low-key but fun day - B. and I had my parents and sister over. My mom and I cooked savory crepes with broccoli, ham, and cheese; green beans sauteed in a small bit of butter, sugar, and garlic; a side salad, and I made a pecan pie. Many of my coworkers were surprised that I chose to cook, but a) I'm very much Team Pie over Team Cake, and b) while I'm not the handiest in the kitchen, I very much enjoy cooking with and for other people. It was exactly the night I needed to wrap up a very up-and-down year. </p> <p>(I'd already picked out the peacock blue knee-length Talbots coat as my main birthday present, but my sister also surprised me with a lovely navy-and-gold Olivia Moon chiffon blouse I'd had my eye on: <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/olivia-moon-print-chiffon-blouse/3183389" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ol.....se/3183389</a> It looks AWESOME with my mustard handbag as well as with the "Raisin" pencil skirt!)</p> <p>I also wanted to share a couple other tidbits in images. #1 is (per the previous request of Amy, my "dress twin") how I've worn the infamous Anthro striped dress so far - with nude microfishnets, tan suede booties, silver pendant, and denim jacket; with burgundy shoes, burgundy dotted hose, layered pearls, and a black waistcoat worn open; with a furry vest, black hose, and black low-heeled booties. It truly is a fabulous piece - the drape of the diagonal layers is fantastic, and the dress has garnered so many compliments. </p> <p>#2 is why I'm ridiculously proud of my boyfriend B. today - not only did he (finally! after 4 years!) go to the eye doctor, but he also picked out a REALLY fab, snazzy pair of Takumi specs all on his own. The shape is relatively "safe" from the front, but the sidearms are a surprising statement! I think he looks fantastic. (Photo shared with his permission, of course.) </p>
