It's so strange how we make such deep connections to the families of our childhood friends. I can really relate to being hit hard by this news; it reminds me of a similar experience some years ago. Just keep him and your friend in your thoughts and think of some funny stories from kindergarten. They may warm your heart.</p> <p>I hope you enjoy your time away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-and-boots-for-a-dark-time#post-1162891 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 22:18:58 +0000 Thistle 1162891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of hugs and support.

I may be a bit OT here as well, but your situation brought to mind a strategy i've used in the past when i can't be with someone i love during a time i really want to. I'll just buy a book of stamps at the grocery store and print up a couple of sheets of peel-off labels with the person's name and mailing address. Then it's a snap to mail them something everyday, from a note, a nice card, to some goofy or corny postcard from the drugstore. These days, it's easy to print out your own photos on card stock to make your own postcards. It's fun and i know from being bed/house ridden myself in the past it's great to be on the receiving end too.&nbsp; Just a thought. (hug)</p> <p>heehee - i've heard people say they look like a deer in the headlights many times, but never with such accuracy! That gave me a laugh i must say. And no one is looking at anything besides those million mile long legs in #3 - holy cow woman!!!!!&nbsp; Love that sassy trench, swishy clothes are fun fun fun. Thanks for the great pics and hang in there, steph </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-and-boots-for-a-dark-time#post-1162668 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 17:53:40 +0000 Anonymous 1162668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry you are going through a stressful hard time. I hope vacation gives you some peace and strength to be there for your friend when you return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-and-boots-for-a-dark-time#post-1162665 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 17:49:45 +0000 Suz 1162665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hugs, Rae! It does sound like a stressful time.&nbsp;</p> <p>You look terrific in both outfits.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/coats-and-boots-for-a-dark-time#post-1162660 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 17:38:10 +0000 rae 1162660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, one coat, and one pair of tall boots. But I was very excited about this.&nbsp;</p> <p>#1 Fawn-in-headlights look is from yesterday, worn to work for a party dress appointment. I have had way too much of a spare tire these days to wear this dress on its own, so it was nice to revive it with a light jacket.<br />- Tahari leather jacket - bluefly<br />- Asos midi dress - Asos<br />- Timberland black boots - shoes.com<br />- Kate Spade satchel - ebay</p> <p>#3 Acid Rain look is&nbsp;from a couple days ago, worn to make a return in Santa Monica and scope out Crocs for travel sandals. Ended up removing the Zella because it warmed up, but it was still fun to swoosh about in a trench during the day. I have been wearing my Burberry in black regularly to go out at night.&nbsp;<br />- Sealup trench - Yoox<br />- Gap jeggings - Gap<br />- Zella jacket - Nordies<br />- Timberland booties - Sierra Trading Post</p> <p>I am kind of escaping by writing about clothing today as it's suddenly become a stressful time... I am gearing up for vacation in mere days, with lots still to do, but I just heard that my best friend from kindergarten's dad was just hospitalized and diagnosed with aggressive leukemia. He is responding to chemo, but there is a toll taken on his organs. If anyone has positive, healing thoughts to spare, I'd definitely appreciate anything. On top of being upset about the illness, I'm also so upset that I won't be here in the coming weeks whatever the outcome. Hopefully I'm not taking this post&nbsp;to OT land, but I guess it's fitting to have been wearing somber colors and posing in dark alleys lately... </p>
