Good grief. At around swap time on Saturday, we were outside banging on a frozen garage door, trying to crack some ice so it would open...</p> <p>So glad you all had a blast. I can't wait for the blog post! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/howdy-from-the-pasadena-swap#post-284916 Sun, 23 Jan 2011 22:35:22 +0000 Antje 284916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh what.

When DH and I got married we made a music CD for party favors, and that song was one of the selections! LOL</p> <p>I think the dress is called a cheongsam: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheongsam" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheongsam</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/howdy-from-the-pasadena-swap#post-284824 Sun, 23 Jan 2011 19:55:08 +0000 Ornella 284824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup, the right soundtrack It was Chris de Burgh.</p> <p>Btw, what's this style called (top of the dress)? I know it as Nehru collar, but I am not sure whether US and UK terms are different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/howdy-from-the-pasadena-swap#post-284822 Sun, 23 Jan 2011 19:52:36 +0000 tarzy 284822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm bummed I had to miss it.

Kira brought it and it is even more gorgeous IRL! Actually, IRL it is floor length - I had just tucked the bottom of it up to see what it would look like shortened. I will post some pics - both floor length and tucked up - and see what everyone thinks about if I should shorten it or not. I'm thrilled - 'cuz I have never had a red dress before! I've been going around humming "The Lady in Red" - can't think of who recorded it, but it is sweet and romantic and makes me happy. (Just like the dress!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/howdy-from-the-pasadena-swap#post-284707 Sun, 23 Jan 2011 13:43:37 +0000 Lynne 284707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cannot wait to hear more - you look like you're having a blast! Marley, that dress is lovely - and will be a perfect backdrop for black leggings and yellow gold....can I ask how wide the hem is on it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/howdy-from-the-pasadena-swap#post-284691 Sun, 23 Jan 2011 11:38:54 +0000 Kira 284691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had the most amazing time at the swap meet. Everyone was helpful, kind, and so lovely! I'm thrilled I got to meet everyone there. I have some beautiful new pieces in my wardrobe now, (one of which I never would have tried on if it weren't for your encouragement) and MaryK's elegant house was the perfect setting for the party. It really had a fun party vibe, and I hope the CA swap meet becomes a tradition. Thank you so much for a great experience! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/howdy-from-the-pasadena-swap#post-284683 Sun, 23 Jan 2011 10:32:08 +0000 Louise 284683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like you had a great time.

And you all look <strong>even more</strong> beautiful than on the 'regular' outfit photos you post - must be something in the atmosphere and the vibes around you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/howdy-from-the-pasadena-swap#post-284665 Sun, 23 Jan 2011 08:52:01 +0000 Scarlet 284665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish I could have been there too.

Is that something you found at the swap? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/howdy-from-the-pasadena-swap#post-284638 Sun, 23 Jan 2011 06:10:09 +0000 Marley 284638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm still on a HIGH! I just got finished trying on all of my loot again - and boy, did I EVER score! But, more importantly - I met some really FAB women, and had soooo much fun! It was amazing that every single one of us felt like we came away with at least one item that was just PERfect! I loved seeing the others try on some of the stuff that I brought and realizing that it was just meant to be for them - and I felt such contentment knowing that it was going to someone who loved it and who could wear it with such savvy!<br /> A HUGE thank you to MaryK for hosting. You were the best! Can't wait for the next one - and we've got to get Tarzy and Kris and Legacy of Pearl and all the other women in our area to come to the next one! Woo-hoo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/howdy-from-the-pasadena-swap#post-284612 Sun, 23 Jan 2011 04:35:54 +0000 Nico 284612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much for having us over MaryK! It was fantastic. I wasn't expecting to come home with so many fashionable finds. It was a really fun and friendly atmosphere--everybody helped each other out and gave such wonderful compliments. At the end of the day, we had a "show-and-tell" where everybody shared what they picked and it was such a great moment, proving how successful this party really was! Looking forward to the next swap party! Thanks again to everyone </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/howdy-from-the-pasadena-swap#post-284604 Sun, 23 Jan 2011 04:28:29 +0000 rae 284604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, infinite thanks to MaryK for having us over. I feel like I just went on a major shopping spree -- and to think I even found items that had been on my wish list: white pearl necklaces, party shoes, business suit, TEAL! I am so giddy; I want to wear it all right now. Everyone had such great taste that it was almost like a secondhand boutique. Squee! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/howdy-from-the-pasadena-swap#post-284596 Sun, 23 Jan 2011 04:17:36 +0000 Lisa 284596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, I'm jealous!
