You look great, I love the colors in your tee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-portland-mini-meet-816#post-1333783 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 00:57:14 +0000 Angie 1333783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*pass the pastry*</p> <p>And you look vibrant, current&nbsp;and very Klimt. Nicely done. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-portland-mini-meet-816#post-1333522 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 19:33:40 +0000 Suzanne (ambergreen) 1333522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@<b>CocoLion</b>, thanks! I loved the painty things that were all over the place a few years ago...and I'm seeing them pop up a bit again now. Yes, the shoes were good--I definitely go for a stouter, more stable heel these days if I do them at all (frankly, I've preferred the look of chunkier heels for decades anyway!), and I find these relatively comfortable for the height they are. I will say though that because of the way they're constructed, I can imagine that they could be tricky to fit some foot shapes/volumes and there are no US half sizes. I had to size down to a UK 3, which fortunately happened to fit me exactly--I'm usually a US 5.5 in sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-portland-mini-meet-816#post-1333489 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 19:01:37 +0000 CocoLion 1333489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds fun and I love the Klimt aspect of the top. &nbsp;Oh and I just love those shoes on you! &nbsp;How did they hold up during the meet up? &nbsp;Were the heels manageable?</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-portland-mini-meet-816#post-1333488 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 18:58:04 +0000 Suzanne (ambergreen) 1333488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies. @<b>K.</b>--coordinating pastry! You're right...LOL. Never thought of that! Hahaha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-portland-mini-meet-816#post-1333471 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 18:29:29 +0000 K. Period. 1333471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! You looked fantastic. :). It was lovely to meet you and C. In person. And I'm glad you enjoyed the pastry. I love them. Besides, it coordinated so well with your outfit! What's not to love about that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-portland-mini-meet-816#post-1333442 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 17:56:29 +0000 Tanya 1333442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF meetups are always fun, and the treats sound yummy!&nbsp; <br />That is a lovely outfit, and the sandals are gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-portland-mini-meet-816#post-1333440 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 17:53:34 +0000 Suzanne (ambergreen) 1333440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So yay, got to meet <b>Cerinda</b> and <b>K. Period.</b> yesterday and checked out some fun local boutiques! We did, by the way, notice a little forest green (and variants thereof) nudging its way into some of the collections. </p> <p>May I also say, despite all the temptations, that we were all successful at remaining Ascetic on that fine August afternoon. :)</p> <p>Also, K. introduced me to the wonders of the <i>gibassier</i> pastry, which includes olive oil, fennel, and candied orange peel. YUM. Should have taken a pic o' that! Next time.</p> <p>So, then, a quick WIW: </p> <ul> <li>Vera Wang for Kohl's tee (from 2012 I think?)</li> <li>Old Navy Rockstar skinnies in French gray</li> <li>Shelly's London boot/sandals</li> <li>sterling earrings and bracelets (all garage sale/flea market)</li> <li>sterling ring with orange stone (not really visible in pic :P)</li> </ul> <p>I so have to practice photo faces...I'm sure I was reacting to something about the dear husband, who was behind the camera this time. Anywayy...</p>
