Love you in those boots and the pics are great. Looks very cold. Do you miss home yet? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wrote-to-the-demonstration#post-44554 Sat, 17 Jan 2009 04:51:43 +0000 marianne 44554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I echo everyone, you look so cool and confident. You must be having a great time.</p> <p>I also saw your comment about women wearing skirts in the cold - it reminded me that we used to wear 2 pairs of tights and also bike shorts kind of undergarment when it was freezing (not that I would recommend it ). People just wouldn't give up on skirts in winter, it was part of fashion culture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wrote-to-the-demonstration#post-44510 Sat, 17 Jan 2009 01:23:44 +0000 Kyle 44510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic in those pants and boots -- is it possible you have gotten thinner? You look terrific and, most importantly, happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wrote-to-the-demonstration#post-44509 Sat, 17 Jan 2009 01:22:33 +0000 Kyle 44509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic in those pants and boots -- is it possible you have gotten thinner?

Love the details!</p> <p>The outfit looks warm and cozy, and it is certainly cute. The sweater is nice, but I have seen you in nicer things.</p> <p>As for the demonstrations, I have been at quite a few ones in my country during my undergrad studies ( a particular one lasted for three months and we lost a whole semester) so I know all about that. I am very happy you have missed the worst part. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wrote-to-the-demonstration#post-44482 Sat, 17 Jan 2009 00:16:17 +0000 Violet 44482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you are doing a good job keeping warm. I'm not crazy about the pattern on the sweater, but I think it looks better unbelted.</p> <p>The ceilings of your apartment are very nice. What beautiful detail.</p> <p>Glad to hear you didn't get caught up in the riot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wrote-to-the-demonstration#post-44422 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 20:54:03 +0000 Inge 44422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the title of your post: I was thinking: wow, AJ really hit the ground running, such an interesting life, first the important meetings, and now a demonstration;-) Please keep writing about your life in Lithuania!</p> <p>You look cosy and warm (I've been in a few chilly reading rooms myself, and layering is definitely the way to go). This sweater is not my favourite on you, but it looks good belted and unbelted.</p> <p>And yes, it is a beautiful apartment!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wrote-to-the-demonstration#post-44399 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 19:13:52 +0000 Amanda 44399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually, I had WTO in Seattle flashbacks when I saw the riot police. I was working downtown at the time. I stayed home the first day that there was a protest, but I was at work on the second day when the protests turned violent and the riot police were called out. I ended up having to walk from Pioneer Square all the way to Key Arena to catch a bus home because the buses had stopped running downtown. Along the way, I dodged several groups of riot police and found out later that I just missed being in the wrong place at the wrong time when a group of bystanders were teargassed. I was much farther from the action today than I was that day in Seattle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wrote-to-the-demonstration#post-44393 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 18:46:27 +0000 Anonymous 44393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pictures AJ. You are wise to wear so many layers. It looks freezing there. I think the sweater looks good both belted and unbelted. Mix it up.<br /> Your apartment building is beautiful.<br /> Those riot pictures are very scary. Good for you to get off the street. That was a close call. We don't want to have you around any riots with tear gas involved. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wrote-to-the-demonstration#post-44385 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 18:27:04 +0000 Ariadne 44385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that apartment is amazing, AJ. Hee, I love the photo of the riot police.</p> <p>Honestly, I don't think that sweater is a keeper. You're far too pretty for it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wrote-to-the-demonstration#post-44367 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 17:07:05 +0000 Anonymous 44367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, aj. You look warm and cozy in all your layers. I agree that unbelted looks best in this case. Your posts are so interesting! Best not to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.<br /> What beautiful ceilings and cornices! It's a good thing that they didn't remove them in the remodeling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wrote-to-the-demonstration#post-44364 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 16:43:37 +0000 Amanda 44364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This will be a post that covers a wide variety of topics...</p> <p>Photos 1 &#38; 2:<br /> This is a pre-YLF cardigan that I brought with me because it fit my wardrobe color scheme of gray and brown, but I'm not sure if it is a keeper past this winter. When I looked in the mirror, I thought it looked better belted. But when I saw the photos, I decided that it looked better unbelted so I wore it unbelted. You'll notice that I am wearing a lot of layers (two turtlenecks) and long underwear (which you can't see!). The reading room in the archives is quite chilly.</p> <p>Photo 3:<br /> Before I went to work in the archives this afternoon, I went by the parliament building to observe a demonstration protesting tax hikes and other unpopular economic policies of the current government. I stood on the sidewalk for about 20 minutes but it was cold so I went on to the archives. When I came out of the building a few hours later, the street to the parliament building was blocked by riot police. Apparently the demonstration turned violent and was broken up with tear gas. Glad I missed that part. </p> <p>But in case you've been wondering what the well-dressed riot police wears in eastern Europe -- here's a photo. Note that the three police officers carrying shields behind him are women.</p> <p>Photo 4 &#38; 5:<br /> Several people have commented about the high ceilings in my apartment here. I am living in a lovely, recently remodeled apartment in a building built in the 1880s. It does have high ceilings and, in two rooms, beautiful cornices (I think that's what they are called). So a couple of photos of those!</p> <p><a href="http://s514.photobucket.com/albums/t346/aj-seattle/LT%20Outfit%2001-16/" rel="nofollow">http://s514.photobucket.com/al.....t%2001-16/</a> </p>
