I have never been to a reunion of any sort. I did not attend my graduations either. What a curmudgeon I am. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-20th-reunion#post-1754920 Tue, 29 Nov 2016 02:49:16 +0000 Greyscale 1754920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the very supportive comments, ladies. I've been traveling home so I just had a chance to read back through and honestly you all made me feel much happier about having gone! It wasn't a bad evening at all.</p> <p><b>JAileen</b> - it was true for mine too, the women all looked great. That's tragic about men dead to drugs -- I don't know if my hometown has been hit hard by the rural heroin situation but it fits the profile so I suspect there will be more of that ahead.</p> <p><b>Alaskagirl</b> - So impressed that you wore leather pants! Brilliant choice. I knew our event would be rather casual so I didn't dress up, per se, but everyone had put extra effort into looking sharp. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-20th-reunion#post-1754703 Mon, 28 Nov 2016 11:49:31 +0000 Style Fan 1754703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing and I would have wanted to talk to you for sure.&nbsp; The horse is gorgeous.&nbsp; Lovely.</p> <p>Congratulations for going to the H. S. reunion.&nbsp; They are not always easy.&nbsp; Our H. S. has only had one reunion.&nbsp; 35 years and that was awhile ago.&nbsp; It was a very small class.&nbsp; People came quite a distance to the reunion.&nbsp; It was wonderful to see everyone but we had all evolved.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-20th-reunion#post-1754687 Mon, 28 Nov 2016 10:06:22 +0000 jenanded 1754687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Say again - as a biologist; and I felt better than I did when I was at school; and quite a few more comments. You look amazing, and sound like such a modest, but competent and interesting person. That all sounds like a perfectly lovely place to 'be'. And gorgeous horse too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-20th-reunion#post-1754686 Mon, 28 Nov 2016 09:56:36 +0000 LazyFox 1754686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You picked a fab outfit!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-20th-reunion#post-1754685 Mon, 28 Nov 2016 09:37:23 +0000 Sisi 1754685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look super chic ! I agree with Jaileen,&nbsp; your former classmates were intimidated by your fabness. Beautiful horse picture. By the way, when I saw it&nbsp;I thought "What a nice idea to hang colored ribbons to a fence ..." . Hee-hee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-20th-reunion#post-1754663 Mon, 28 Nov 2016 04:17:22 +0000 Beth Ann 1754663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the way you kept the "you" in your reunion outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-20th-reunion#post-1754616 Mon, 28 Nov 2016 01:38:24 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1754616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit showcases the newer, cooler you very well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-20th-reunion#post-1754615 Mon, 28 Nov 2016 01:34:28 +0000 Bonnie 1754615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful and I agree with what Suz said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-20th-reunion#post-1754523 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 20:03:44 +0000 Sal 1754523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look awesome, great choice of look here.</p> <p>We had a 20th reunion, I helped organise it. &nbsp;It was fascinating how nervous people were - my job was taking RSVPs and so many people commented how worried they were about attending. &nbsp;Actually it was a very relaxed and fun night and quite a healing occasion. &nbsp;What I realised is what babies we were - and we all did silly things back then, and most of it was hormones, immaturity, peer pressure and in part our school culture. &nbsp;This was just pre-facebook (for me anyway), so if we have a 30th (next year) it will be quite different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-20th-reunion#post-1754519 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 19:42:22 +0000 Suz 1754519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic. Beautifully armed for the event yet perfectly appropriate. &nbsp; Living well is the best revenge, and going to these events can be cathartic in the sense that it shows you that you've made the right choices (not that you had any doubts!)&nbsp;</p> <p>The horse is gorgeous, too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-20th-reunion#post-1754473 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 16:49:26 +0000 rachylou 1754473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Superlative outfit!</p> <p>I went to my fifth reunion and took my own entertainment - my bff. He talked to more people than I did, lol. The thing about my school is that I didn't go from middle school like most and didn't board. I really had my set of friends already from elsewhere. I made more friends with classmates AFTER graduating than while there, lol.</p> <p>Man, I even went abroad with those people and made more friends with people on the road than with them. Haha. And yet, I really liked my school. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-20th-reunion#post-1754463 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 16:03:52 +0000 JAileen 1754463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab! They were probably too intimidated to talk to you. Seriously.</p> <p>I'm a lot older than you. I've gone to all but my 40th. I decided life was too short.<br /> 10th: everyone trying to impress each other<br /> 20th: everyone trying to show you pics of their kids<br /> 30th: women look good, men don't. In fact, many men were dead due to drugs. Also, women must use more sunscreen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-20th-reunion#post-1754458 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 16:00:02 +0000 Angie 1754458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer</p> <p>You look very YOU and happy too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-20th-reunion#post-1754457 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 15:59:01 +0000 Ledonna N. 1754457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like that you went back to your H.S. reunion. </p> <p>This fit is actually perfect in my book for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-20th-reunion#post-1754449 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 15:27:57 +0000 Janet 1754449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! I really enjoy your style, and this outfit captures it so well. </p> <p>I had mixed feelings about going to my reunions, but since my school was quite large, I figured I'd find some people to connect with, and sure enough, I never regretted going. The fact that I still live about 45 minutes from where I grew up makes it not so stressful to go. Plus, three of my closest friends have been my closest friends since about 7th grade. I went to the 10, 20, and 30 year reunions -- yikes! It's always interesting to see how some people change, and some people never do. Facebook has taken some of the mystery and surprise out of reunions though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-20th-reunion#post-1754439 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 15:01:23 +0000 Susie 1754439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others in that I would have been drawn to you. You have such a unique style and every piece you wear is interesting. I've only ever attended one reunion- my 10th so it was many years ago! Good for you for going! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-20th-reunion#post-1754438 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 14:56:53 +0000 lpr200 1754438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You looked fabulous and you're rave! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-20th-reunion#post-1754436 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 14:52:16 +0000 Momo 1754436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great and congratulations on your bravery! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-20th-reunion#post-1754427 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 14:17:11 +0000 cindysmith 1754427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool outfit! You look great. and you are far braver than I am, I have yet to go to a h.s. reunion (and we've had several since 1988 when I graduated) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-20th-reunion#post-1754407 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 11:44:15 +0000 Bijou 1754407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look incredibly chic and interesting, definitely someone that I would gravitate to at an event like that. I love the horse pic too - I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-20th-reunion#post-1754394 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 07:23:22 +0000 Barbara Diane 1754394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats for going and talking to people.

I wore leather skinnies to my reunion when everyone else was in LBDs because I needed to bring on the fierce. You did well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-20th-reunion#post-1754372 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 05:07:09 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1754372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so cool and chic. I admire you for taking the plunge and attending the reunion. It's so funny--I'd go out of my way for a YLF meetup before I'd do the same for a high school reunion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-20th-reunion#post-1754368 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 04:58:34 +0000 Anonymous 1754368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on going to your reunion. They can be difficult because everyone seems to stick with the same friends that they had in highschool. I was shocked at how many of my classmates were smokers and had to leave early to get away from the smokey room. You look fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-20th-reunion#post-1754365 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 04:49:01 +0000 kellygirl 1754365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smashing outfit! You look so modern and cool. I would have wanted to talk to you for sure. I'm not sure I'll ever make it to one of my reunions--I think I'll just live vicariously through yours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-20th-reunion#post-1754360 Sun, 27 Nov 2016 04:36:02 +0000 Greyscale 1754360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm home in Connecticut for Thanksgiving and tonight happened to be my 20th high school reunion.</p> <p>I went, but it was a hard decision, to be honest. My school was tiny (graduating class of 68), and while the other kids weren't monsters to me, I was one of the very unpopular students.&nbsp;I was so awkward and lost in my own world of books.&nbsp;I really blossomed in college and I was more or less happy to never look back.</p> <p>So of course, having decided to go, I particularly wanted to look chic. I wore my best-fitting skinny jeans (Genetic - as a biologist, the embroidered DNA logo is like a talisman) and my new Aritzia sweater. And I wore my Converse shroud wedges from last year's NAS. I had no idea I'd wear them so often, but they're amazing.</p> <p>The reunion wasn't a smashing success for me, but I found people to talk to all evening. The attendees were all people who stayed in our rural town, and though the town is really a lovely place, I would have enjoyed catching up with the people who spread their wings and left. Most people ignored me, and I ignored them. But at least I know I looked a lot better than I did back then! (Everyone looked great, in fact!)</p> <p>Bonus picture of my mother's horse enjoying the aftermath of apple pie -- and yes, that's an electric fence that I accidentally threw those peels onto! No horses were injured. </p>
