I'll join the applause, especially for your amazing Mod-flavored look with the pop of the white belt. Super stylin'! And it was such a delight talking with you at that delicious breakfast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ssif-red-black-and-a-pop-of-angie-white-with-seattle-photos#post-1369163 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 15:20:41 +0000 christy 1369163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki, you are so lovely and charming! So glad I had the opportunity to chat with you at breakfast. I adore both outfits - especially the red and black. The white belt is the perfect touch. I love your style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ssif-red-black-and-a-pop-of-angie-white-with-seattle-photos#post-1369158 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 15:10:22 +0000 Anonymous 1369158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki, it was so great seeing you again (and this time in a different city)! We are old friends by now and I thank you for letting my suitcase crash in your hotel room on Saturday. I knew you would take me under your wing and help me out in a jam. Thank you for sharing these pictures, and your take on the weekend. You're such a wonderful writer!&nbsp;Those pics of the cocktail party make me so sad that I missed it! The one of AJ and&nbsp;Anna in her fascinator is truly epic.</p> <p>I'm intrigued by your desire to make some hair and make-up tweaks upon your return. FWIW I love your hair either way, and you can carry off a bright(er) lip extremely well. You look terrific in #2--just look at that hourglass figure! BA-bam! You do modern classic like nobody's business. Love the Leith pants too, and my condolences on the demise of your cream top. Hopefully you have a backup in that fab closet of yours.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ssif-red-black-and-a-pop-of-angie-white-with-seattle-photos#post-1369126 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 13:54:11 +0000 bj1111 1369126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the new make up palette . I agree with Suz ...you look so youthful.</p> <p>Loved meeting you and you tremendous energy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ssif-red-black-and-a-pop-of-angie-white-with-seattle-photos#post-1369063 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 10:43:59 +0000 Anonymous 1369063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you look great in your red white and black and I like the sharp tux shirt that you wore to the cocktails. So fab in #7/#18 too.</p> <p>&nbsp;Thanks for sharing the party photos as I sadly couldn't stay the extra day. It was an absolute pleasure to meet you Vicki. I felt an instant rapport, which goes for everyone else I met too :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ssif-red-black-and-a-pop-of-angie-white-with-seattle-photos#post-1369020 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 06:24:00 +0000 Jeanie 1369020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Vicki, &nbsp;you look just like a model in #2. &nbsp;Could cast you on the Mod Squad - so fab!&nbsp;Love the new inspired hair do! &nbsp;<br />Thanks for sharing all the pics and your memories. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ssif-red-black-and-a-pop-of-angie-white-with-seattle-photos#post-1368999 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 05:03:30 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1368999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gee, Vicki, you can sure rock a sweater set!

I was lucky enough to ride to the airport and have a snack with you the last day. You are beautiful and caring. I hope there is another meet up where we both are.<br /> That red outfit is perfection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ssif-red-black-and-a-pop-of-angie-white-with-seattle-photos#post-1368960 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 02:57:14 +0000 jackiec 1368960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all - WOW - you look sensational in that first outfit!

I love you in the red! I think the soft makeup is working for you here. You look about 25 years old in #2. So spunky and sweet at the same time. Also, I am fascinated by your Okalas. Yours are mostly black with white tips; mine have a lot more white on them!&nbsp;</p> <p>You knew I would swoon over Ann's cushions, didn't you??? :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, loving the shopping and party photos. It's so great to experience this joy second hand. I have to say, if I had never been lucky enough to experience one of these meet-ups, I'd be feeling even more sad than I felt about not going this time. I really hope we have another one soon, and I intend to meet <b>YOU </b>there!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ssif-red-black-and-a-pop-of-angie-white-with-seattle-photos#post-1368913 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 02:01:51 +0000 Caro in Oz 1368913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous photos of the party - you all looked amazing :)&nbsp;<br />Love you in red Vicki - Y(always) LF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ssif-red-black-and-a-pop-of-angie-white-with-seattle-photos#post-1368846 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 00:59:12 +0000 Aida 1368846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What fun photos, Vicki, especially from the cocktail party! Ahhhh fun<br /> memories &lt;3 LOVE both of your outfits, and I really like the subtle<br /> make-up/hair changes for a softer look. #2 (without the cardigan) is so ridiculously fun and sassy, my goodness. I also quite like the effect of leaving the Leith's unzipped, especially with the flats. Miss you already!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ssif-red-black-and-a-pop-of-angie-white-with-seattle-photos#post-1368835 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 00:48:37 +0000 Carla 1368835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki! This epiphany is just so fab! Sometimes there is an unexpected catalyst that is the jet fuel to something fun, exciting, and new! What a beautiful take-away! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ssif-red-black-and-a-pop-of-angie-white-with-seattle-photos#post-1368833 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 00:47:05 +0000 Sveta 1368833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&lt;rubbing hands together&gt; More pictures from SSIF!!!!<br />What a nice write up, Vicki. You were a marvelous room mate and I enjoyed your company tremendously. It is interesting that you decided to make some changes after Seattle trip. You looked gorgeous but change is always good, right?<br />Love you in that color&nbsp;red! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ssif-red-black-and-a-pop-of-angie-white-with-seattle-photos#post-1368831 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 00:45:19 +0000 Angie 1368831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are a special honey-pie, Vicki. You know I adore you, and miss you already. Your warmth, stamina, exuberance, positive and very upbeat persona, eye for detail, incredible memory,&nbsp;genuine and generous nature, and thoughtfulness are at the tip of the ice-berg of your fabness. Seattle loved having you here.</p> <p>Your first outfit is absolutely killer, and you were beautiful at the cocktail party too. Much love to you, sweet lady. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ssif-red-black-and-a-pop-of-angie-white-with-seattle-photos#post-1368806 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 23:46:20 +0000 Vicki 1368806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everyone who attended SSIF has shared the magic and beauty of the weekend. Angie's meticulous and yet easygoing agenda made our time together sweet and effortless. It's her uncanny way of reading people inside and out and managing all personality types. That's both an amazing feat and an extraordinary gift.</p> <p>Meeting Inge IRL was indescribable and her stunning beauty, ladylike softness and superb style were beautiful to behold. Add to this the kind and caring nature of both of these ladies, and I feel grateful to know them.</p> <p>Then, there's Greg. What can I say, except that I know what I like about him so much. It's his wonderful sense of humor and easy laughter that I connect with and found so relatable. There are so many things to love about this YLF trio!!!</p> <p>These same qualities crossed over to everyone I met during the weekend and there was a climate of openness and trust that permeated the weekend.</p> <p>From the time I stepped off the plane, I was with "my people," as I met up with Debbie, bj1111(Ruth) and Sveta and we sailed to Seattle in our awaiting Town Car.</p> <p>Thank you to the locals who watched over us and treated us so fabulously (Aida, Annagybe, Dashielle/Ann,&nbsp;Kari and others). Hugs to my roommates, Deb and Sveta, for a few glorious days of sharing.</p> <p>Meeting the Portland contingent was awesome and I enjoyed a great breakfast conversation with Ambergreen/Suzanne and Rabbit/Kate and Seattleite Christy. I just wish I'd had more time to visit with so many others rather than a brief "hello."</p> <p>It's funny, but AFTER my Seattle weekend, I decided to soften my makeup and went back to a neutral eye color palette and a berry lip liner, rather than the darker nude I was wearing. I also started putting my hair behind my ears and sweeping my bangs to the side. It's interesting what a weekend away and a weekend with others will do to create change. </p> <p>I wanted a little red in my life today, so I wore this pretty Ann Taylor red sweater set I've had for several years and paired it with my black J. Brand jeans, white belt and black and white Okalas. </p> <p>This outfit gives me a great happiness factor and after a doctor's appointment, I'll wear this to a sushi dinner. Two other photos from earlier in the week with my striped Banana Republic blazer, black Leith pants and an old cream top that is no longer with me as I caught the top on the door handle in my bedroom and tore a hole in it. Oh, well, that's a literal wardrobe hole that needs to be filled. Wishing you all a happy weekend. I'll be back to put captions on my photos after dinner. ^_^</p> <p>Thank you for taking a look and I welcome any suggestions.</p> <p>1-3 Ann Taylor red sleeveless top and cardigan, J. Brand black jeans, white belt, black and white Sam Edelman Okalas, Kate Spade grey and black tote</p> <p>4 ClearlyClaire, roommate Sveta and Christy shopping boots, booties and shoes at Nordstrom</p> <p>5 I loved Dashielle's/Ann's cat pillow!</p> <p>6 Full room with a view and the BCBG animal print purses of Inge and Vicki.</p> <p>7 Host and Hostess with the&nbsp;Mostess, Steve and Dashielle/Ann</p> <p>8 Beautiful duo of AJ and Annagybe</p> <p>9 Lovely Firecracker/Sharan and Kari chatting it up</p> <p>10 AJ's sister, Elna, Aida and Anagybe enjoying the evening</p> <p>11 More group shots with Inge and Sveta</p> <p>12 Ms.Mary and Mr. Greg and fyi I sent this pic real time to Marley who asked, "Who's the dude with Mary?" &nbsp;Loved it.</p> <p>13 Hello, from Vicki in Seattle, thanks to personal photographer, AJ.</p> <p>14 Another wonderful group shot of Debbie, roommate Deb and AJ</p> <p>15 Dashielle/Ann and Aida</p> <p>16 The beautiful twosome of AJ's sister, Elna, and Kari</p> <p>17-18 Banana Republic striped blazer, cream top (now trashed), black Leith pants, silver flats (soon to be trashed, because the toes are beginning to show wear)</p> <p>19 ETA Duh! The first photo I wanted to add was of Angie from our Saturday morning breakfast at Urbane. Here she is with bj1111/Ruth and Inge talking in the background. I wanted this to be the first photo. </p>
