It’s actually Jasmine who had the op again. She’s had a rough 10 months. We almost lost her last September. ICU for 5 days while we were in London. We flew back immediately. But she seems to be recovering well this time round. 3 months of recovery to go. She tore her other cruciate ligament. Our girls are 8 going on 2. Still such puppies our twin Yorkies are. The loves of our lives. </p> <p>We want to hear all about your meeting with Patience tomorrow! The regional YLF forum pow wows have begun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-sells-slothes-online-now-and-some-fall-favorites#post-14514 Fri, 11 Jul 2008 00:51:32 +0000 Tanya 14514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so sorry to hear this Angie, hope you get better soon. I've mentioned more on this topic on the other thread. I hope Rosie is doing well too. And of course you are invited to the randezvous! You will always have an open invitation standing from me.</p> <p>Nicole, I am so looking forward to this, I'll start another thread to discuss the details on the Boston YLF Tea Party I hope you'll feel like I'm an old buddy to you as well </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-sells-slothes-online-now-and-some-fall-favorites#post-14497 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 23:52:45 +0000 Ana 14497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We need to get a photo of you to carry around to our local, "in city" YLF powows. Everyone in the forum is there in spirit. I'm really excited to meet Patience tomorrow. </p> <p>Angie, how is Rosie doing? I hope her surgery wasn't for anything serious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-sells-slothes-online-now-and-some-fall-favorites#post-14483 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 22:04:58 +0000 Angie 14483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Inge, San, Ana and Nicole. I’m all bandaged up and iced up. Postponed my client meetings and staying at home with the pups. As frustrated as I am, the rest will probably do me good. </p> <p>Am I invited to the rendezvous? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-sells-slothes-online-now-and-some-fall-favorites#post-14480 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 21:57:09 +0000 Nicole 14480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, sorry to hear about your fall! Are you all ace bandaged up?</p> <p>Tanya, I'd love to come into the city and meet you (and Shiny too, if she's game). I'm afraid I'm not as funny in person--I'm much less inhibited online. My problem is, I'm often afraid to say the first thing that pops into my mind, because my first thoughts are usually sarcastic or in bad taste. So I wait too long to decide if I should actually say what I'm thinking. Once I know someone "gets me", then I am free to say exactly what's on my mind. But...I'm sure I'll feel like I'm with an old buddy the moment we meet.</p> <p>Right now, I'm only working Tue, Wed, and Thur. It takes me an hour to get into the city--depending on what part. I could meet you on a Mon or Friday for lunch. Or, if you wanted to meet on a weekend, I could drag the whole family along. You're in Cambridge, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-sells-slothes-online-now-and-some-fall-favorites#post-14468 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 21:26:53 +0000 Inge 14468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aaah Angie, and on your birthday of all days! Do take care of yourself, put your foot up whenever you can and rest! Hope it doesn't hurt too much.</p> <p>Off to browse the Express site now, you ladies have sure found some nice goodies on there already! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-sells-slothes-online-now-and-some-fall-favorites#post-14417 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 16:58:10 +0000 Anonymous 14417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh Angie. What a bummer. Hope you heal quickly.<br /> Ana, I like the cream pair and the price is better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-sells-slothes-online-now-and-some-fall-favorites#post-14410 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 16:23:50 +0000 Ana 14410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no, Angie--that's TERRIBLE! </p> <p>We'll definitely have to figure out a big YLF pow wow. I have to plan it around school though. I still would like to head up to Seattle sometime next summer, the weather can't be beat and it's a fun city to visit. </p> <p>I might wait and see if the silver metallic skinny jeans go on sale, since $500 is more than I'd like to spend on them. They also have a shiny cream pair, which I like:</p> <p><a href="http://www.ralphlauren.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2961532&#038;cp=1760788.2928195.1818744&#038;pg=2&#038;ab=ln_sale_categories_pants&#038;SMR=1&#038;parentPage=family" rel="nofollow">http://www.ralphlauren.com/pro.....age=family</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-sells-slothes-online-now-and-some-fall-favorites#post-14403 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 15:41:26 +0000 Angie 14403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Yooohooo.

You'll have to wear them for our big YLF powwow, whether in Seattle or NYC or whereever...

You greatly enrich out experience on YLF.</p> <p>Nicole, you are so funny that I am loss to describe it in words. Do you ever come into the city? Maybe we could meet once for lunch/coffee/dessert, I'm sure that you'd be even funnier in person. Perhaps Shiny will be able to join us as well. That would be nice!</p> <p>I thought that we had a semi-plan to have our first national YLF conference in NY sometime in the early fall, maybe September?</p> <p>Ana, those RL pants are cool!</p> <p>Back to Express, I was in a store earlier tonight and tried some of the items above on. Blouse #1 and cardis #3 &#38; #4 are great and are now on my must-buy-for-fall list. Tunic sweater #5 was awful on me, the length was such that it indeed hit me right under my backside - the worst possible spot and it was also tapered on the bottom. I needed it to be at least 2-3 " longer. It's probably going to take a lot of trial-and-error for me to find the right tunic sweaters and long boyfriend cardigans that I plan to get for fall, especially with mu annoyingly long torso. Oh well, hopefully I'll be able to find what I'm looking for.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-sells-slothes-online-now-and-some-fall-favorites#post-14331 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 02:01:46 +0000 Nicole 14331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG all these pants are putting songs in my head...<br /> The metallic RL jeans...</p> <p>Monday at the Disco Club...Tuesday at the Disco Club...Wednesday at the Disco Club...Thursday at the Disco Club...Friday at the Disco Club...Sat-ur-day at the Disco Club...every day the disco club...see you at the disco club.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-sells-slothes-online-now-and-some-fall-favorites#post-14330 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 02:01:09 +0000 judy 14330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Antje is making me laugh tonight...thanks for bringing your whole funny self, Antje! </p> <p>Nicole, you're pretty funny yourself...it was in that scientist thread, I think!</p> <p>Tanya, I like the neck on that short sleeved cardigan...and it's got pockets too!

I know you said yellow is out, but I still like it.</p> <p>Ana, those black pants are ROCKSTAR! They remind me of those black satin pants that Olivia Newton John wore at the end of the movie Grease. </p> <p>....you better shape up...cuz I need a man, and my heart is set on yoooouuuuuu.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-sells-slothes-online-now-and-some-fall-favorites#post-14309 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 01:31:17 +0000 Antje 14309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wohoo, that would be FABULOUS, Ana. Angie, we should really start organizing something!! It would be so lovely to meet everyone in person. OMG, and can you imagine the fun we'd have checking out outfits etc.? Maybe we need to organize a clothing swap, too, so we can turn one woman's wardrobe orphan into another gal's statement piece... Oh the possibilities... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-sells-slothes-online-now-and-some-fall-favorites#post-14306 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 01:28:25 +0000 Ana 14306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, Antje! I love your insight and your openness--it does add a different and interesting perspective to all the "my husbands," which I really appreciate. Your partner is a lucky lady to have a clever and stylish gal like you. I'm hoping to make a trip to Seattle sometime soon (maybe next summer to beat the heat down here in Austin) and I would love to meet the whole Seattle crew! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-sells-slothes-online-now-and-some-fall-favorites#post-14299 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 01:07:38 +0000 Antje 14299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sihaya! RE: bringing my whole self to this forum (and the world at large) - at this point, I feel there is really no other way than being open and putting myself out there, if I want to create real connections. Yup, it's always a bit of effort to deliberatly open up and add "my partner" to the many "my husband"'s etc., but in the end I feel so much more comfortable that way, especially in this group which has really started to feel like a community. For me YLF is so much more meaningful because women share some details of their lives including special joyful moments, challenges, and frustrations (e.g. Tanya's conference thread that is about so much more than just what outfit to choose.)<br /> Anyhoo, and besides, who if not me will debunk the myth that lesbians can't love fashion and be stylish, even in the city of flannel shirts and baggy shorts?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-sells-slothes-online-now-and-some-fall-favorites#post-14172 Wed, 09 Jul 2008 13:54:16 +0000 Sihaya 14172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great finds Tanya. I will put in a pitch for Express camis - I still wear my bras with the built in bra camis and the Express cami's are the ones that work for me the best. They have great colors, patterns, and the fit is perfect. I bought about 10 of them at end of summer sale last year for $12 a piece and they're still going strong. </p> <p>Antje - I couldn't help but laugh out loud at your Sherlock Holmes jacket comment - thank you for helping start my day on a funny note and thank you for bringing your whole self to this forum! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-sells-slothes-online-now-and-some-fall-favorites#post-14062 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 18:30:28 +0000 katieck 14062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Finally! Yay Express! I like the first two shirts/blouses you posted, Tanya. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-sells-slothes-online-now-and-some-fall-favorites#post-14007 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 12:55:22 +0000 Tanya 14007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh thanks ladies! I will obviously not buy all of those items, only a couple. At the beginning of fall season I like to make shopping lists from each of my favorite places/brands, and later second master-list form all of by brand-specific lists ( what do I like/need the most, trying to avoid repetition) , and usually end up buying around 70% of the items on that master list. </p> <p>Lissy, the quality at Express is medium, I'd say like ATL. You have to pick and choose from all the items for clubs an juniors, but there are some nice finds. Their stuff always goes on sale within a month or so, so it's usually worth a wait. BTW, that DVF dress is gorgeous! Totally me! Unfortunately it fits neither my budget nor my current lifestyle, but a girl can dream :)</p> <p>Oh, and for all the ladies that like tie-neck blouses and can get away with wearing silk ones, VS has a couple of them out. The first one is a copy of Nanette Lepore one I was swooning over last season:</p> <p><a href="http://www2.victoriassecret.com/commerce/application/prodDisplay/?namespace=productDisplay&#038;origin=onlineProductDisplay.jsp&#038;event=display&#038;prnbr=8U-227518&#038;page=1&#038;cgname=OSCLOFALZZZ&#038;rfnbr=5121" rel="nofollow">http://www2.victoriassecret.co.....rfnbr=5121</a></p> <p><a href="http://www2.victoriassecret.com/commerce/application/prodDisplay/?namespace=productDisplay&#038;origin=onlineProductDisplay.jsp&#038;event=display&#038;prnbr=8U-227516&#038;page=1&#038;cgname=OSCLOFALZZZ&#038;rfnbr=5121" rel="nofollow">http://www2.victoriassecret.co.....rfnbr=5121</a></p> <p><a href="http://www2.victoriassecret.com/commerce/application/prodDisplay/?namespace=productDisplay&#038;origin=onlineProductDisplay.jsp&#038;event=display&#038;prnbr=8U-227431&#038;page=1&#038;cgname=OSCLOFALZZZ&#038;rfnbr=5121" rel="nofollow">http://www2.victoriassecret.co.....rfnbr=5121</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-sells-slothes-online-now-and-some-fall-favorites#post-13997 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 05:27:50 +0000 Anonymous 13997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>By the way, Tanya, I saw this dress and thought of you:<br /> <a href="http://www.shopbop.com/hampton-wrap-dress-diane-von/vp/v=1/845524441822027.htm?folderID=2534374302023737&#038;fm=browse-brand-shopbysize" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopbop.com/hampton.....shopbysize</a></p> <p>Or maybe you actuallly hate it, I don't know. Haha. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-sells-slothes-online-now-and-some-fall-favorites#post-13993 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 05:17:19 +0000 Anonymous 13993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything looks great Tanya. I specifically like the V neck tunic sweater (would look great with skinnies or leggings) and the ruffle cardigan. I'm not sure which pattern is best for the silk wrap blouse (#2) because none of the patters are really my personal taste, but the silhouette is very nice.</p> <p>I LOVE the 3 Button Sweater (#4 on your post)! It's adorable! My favorite of everything you posted. I personally gravitate towards grey for my own wardrobe, but I could see both working for you. I might actually prefer the cream for you from what I have seen in your outfits. It looks a little crisper/more formal, and I know you tend towards dressing up versus being casual.</p> <p>I never shop at Express, although there is one at the mall where I'm working this summer, so I might have to go pick this up. You seem like an Express expert, so heres a few questions for you: How do you feel about their quality? Do you think this cardi is soft and of good quality? How would you compare Express's quality to that of another store/brand? Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-sells-slothes-online-now-and-some-fall-favorites#post-13991 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 05:11:13 +0000 Angie 13991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Antje, you posted while I posted. YOU CRACK ME UP. I'm in tears with laughter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-sells-slothes-online-now-and-some-fall-favorites#post-13990 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 05:05:12 +0000 Angie 13990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A lovely shopping list Tanya! I vote the ivory print too and echo Antje completely on the rest. That fuchsia colour was made for you. </p> <p>Ana, a similar pair of black skinnies are on my wish list from Nordstrom. What CAN’T you wear those with? Your AF and Chloe blouse. Add the denim jacket. Killer. </p> <p>The tartan jacket is SUCH an ‘80’s flashback for us older gals. Naturally , I’m attracted to it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-sells-slothes-online-now-and-some-fall-favorites#post-13989 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 05:00:29 +0000 Antje 13989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and I love the Sherlock Holmes jacket (sorry, the name will stick now ;-)) I hope you get it, Ana, so we can see you turn it into a super outfit. It'll be tricky, I think, but well worth it. I personally have to pass; it brings up memories of bad plaid flannel shirts which I wore way too many of when I first moved to the US (What can I say... it was more than a decade before I met Angie, and I was just a young German dyke trying to fit in with the laid back Northwestern "style"), so this is just too close for comfort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/express-sells-slothes-online-now-and-some-fall-favorites#post-13987 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 04:52:45 +0000 Antje 13987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, nice finds, Tanya! I especially like the tie-neck blouse, the silk wrap blouse (esp. in ivory), and the ruffled cardi. The shirred cami also looks very flattering.<br /> Great to know they finally offer online shopping. Since they have several brick and mortar stores in the area (in case I have returns), I'll definitely add them to my list of online stores... </p>
