I've always really enjoyed your WIWs and your point of view. I don't think I saw the thread that prompted the decision but I can understand the feeling -- recent events pushed me almost completely off facebook. I feel a loss there for myself, because I had to give up the good in order to rid myself of the bad. Best wishes in your new position and know you will be missed here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leaving-ylf-forum/page/3#post-1138429 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 13:16:30 +0000 April 1138429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really understand your concerns, Shannon. &nbsp;I'm not a Facebooker and don't put photos of myself on the internet, except neck-down YLF photos once in a while. &nbsp;No real reason, it just makes me uncomfortable.</p> <p>Could you envision participating without photos and perhaps shortening your forum name to Transcona? &nbsp;I find that these kinds of "shields"&nbsp;minimize my privacy concerns.</p> <p>Not trying to twist your arm to stay, but I hope you'll consider staying. &nbsp;You're such a presence here. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leaving-ylf-forum/page/3#post-1138380 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 10:43:54 +0000 jenanded 1138380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon you will remain my first WIW inspiration... bestest wishes.

I am shocked. I have not been very present on the forum the last few weeks so I don't know what thread you are referring to (office style) - but this really seems abrupt to me since just a few days ago you appeared to be happily responding to the comments on your 1st week of WIWs. What happened?and who is "big brother"? I feel as though there is a big black hole of information that I've missed! I see that<br /> other people on this thread have responded that they understand your decision. I must admit that I do not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leaving-ylf-forum/page/3#post-1137809 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 19:42:28 +0000 Hil 1137809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wishing you all the best with whatever you decide Shannon!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leaving-ylf-forum/page/3#post-1137759 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 18:51:11 +0000 citygirldc 1137759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry your leaving. I will miss your outfit posts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leaving-ylf-forum/page/3#post-1137748 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 18:41:43 +0000 rachylou 1137748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I understand completely. The web is a *hot* medium (<em>à la</em> Marshall McLuhan). It's close and pushy, even when it isn't. It can make you jump almost as good as your mom can. Distance is sometimes required (no implications there regarding mom ).</p> <p>Hopefully, you'll pop in once in awhile, tho, Shannon. Your posts have been a highlight of the forum for my entire duration.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leaving-ylf-forum/page/3#post-1137724 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 18:23:59 +0000 Sara L. 1137724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also missed the original thread that led to this decision, but I wanted to say how much I will miss your posts. Your WIW's were an inspiration on staying true to your own style while still conforming to a professional dress code. I always looked forward to your posts and your responses to other's posts. I wish you all the best and hope life calms down enough for you to return someday to the forum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leaving-ylf-forum/page/3#post-1137646 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 16:59:53 +0000 ManidipaM 1137646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I cannot believe I have to say goodbye to you, Shannon. :'-( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leaving-ylf-forum/page/3#post-1137641 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 16:56:28 +0000 JAileen 1137641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry you're leaving. I understand, though. That's why I'm a little under the radar here.</p> <p>I really enjoyed seeing your WIWs, especially your Black Watch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leaving-ylf-forum/page/3#post-1137603 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 16:15:36 +0000 Anonymous 1137603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry so to see you go! You will most definitely be missed.</p> <p>&nbsp;I, too, am very careful about what I post due to the nature of my job and because of a certain person who has been cyberstalking me.</p> <p>I hope you'll return soon. No need for apologies. Just know we're here eagerly awaiting your return to the YLF forum. Good luck and God bless! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leaving-ylf-forum/page/3#post-1137540 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 14:54:23 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1137540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You will be missed greatly and hopefully after some time away to digest it all, you can find a happy medium way to return....I appreciate that instead of just disappearing that you wrote this so that you could see the amazing outpouring of support!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leaving-ylf-forum/page/3#post-1137537 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 14:52:15 +0000 LAR101 1137537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Leaving! &nbsp;Oh No! &nbsp;I've learned so much from you!! &nbsp;:)<br />You're kind of a heroine to me. &nbsp;:)</p> <p>Thank-you for all your lovely sharing and open-ness.<br />I would always welcome you to post again, ...<br />if only occasionally, &nbsp;.... <br />if you can find a way to make it work for you. &nbsp;:) &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leaving-ylf-forum/page/3#post-1137515 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 14:24:23 +0000 Mander 1137515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:-(&nbsp; I'll be sad to see you go as well!&nbsp; Hopefully you'll change your mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leaving-ylf-forum/page/3#post-1137505 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 14:15:29 +0000 Lisa 1137505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sorry to see you go!&nbsp; I adore your outfit posts (especially your bags and shoes) and you will be missed.&nbsp; I hope you find joy in your new job and selfish me is hoping you will find a way to participate in the forum again.

All the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leaving-ylf-forum/page/3#post-1137450 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 12:25:12 +0000 Inge 1137450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too am very sorry to see you go, dear Shannon. We will all miss your beautiful smile, inspirational daily outfits, your easy laugh and humour, and your heartfelt and encouraging comments on all our posts. I understand your decision, but was also nodding along with everything Una, MaryK, Beth Ann and Suz wrote, so perhaps you'll find a way that feels right to you&nbsp;to still participate in the forum. You are always welcome here, and in the meantime I want to wish you tons of succes with the new job (I'm so happy that it's going so well) and all your exciting endeavours.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leaving-ylf-forum/page/2#post-1137446 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 11:58:49 +0000 crutcher 1137446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have enjoyed your posts...I do understand your feelings about putting too much of yourself out there...This is the reason that I do not participate as much as I would like...<br />And I do understand your emotional responses to things...I believe I remember you are a March baby, too...This just brings its own sensitivities and feelings...My very best to you... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leaving-ylf-forum/page/2#post-1137402 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 06:06:31 +0000 Neel 1137402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so glad your new post sounds bit more promising :).

I only stayed away for 5 months, LOL! I'm not on here as often but I think I've found a workable balance for my lifestyle while still feeling a part of this wonderful community.</p> <p>I hope you will find a happy medium too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leaving-ylf-forum/page/2#post-1137355 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 04:30:27 +0000 Isabel 1137355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too love what Beth Ann has said. &nbsp;</p> <p>And you don't have to come back with your "tail between your legs". &nbsp;Just with your "semi-tuck".</p> <p>: &nbsp;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leaving-ylf-forum/page/2#post-1137346 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 04:12:30 +0000 rae 1137346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am gobsmacked!
