And you do look pretty in your concert outfit. I especially like the stockings and the red satin bow blouse. And your red coat is the perfect topper. (Speaking of coat lengths, re: your comment on my thread, I really like the length of that one with your skirt, with just a bit of the skirt showing.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-little-girl-in-the-sparkly-red-dress#post-1414097 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 16:42:39 +0000 Angie 1414097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A lovely story.&nbsp;</p> <p>Festive and Fab, look.

And you look fantastic. I love that red on you. Fab, fab lipstick.</p> <p>Never underestimate the kindness of strangers I say. The last 2.5 years after moving to a completely different place with no prior knowledge of language I had found so much strength from random people... the old man&nbsp;at the checkout in the supermarket who had offered me&nbsp;me go ahead because I had only one thing to pay for and he had a full cart, the lady -- again at the supermarket -- whom I smiled at because I thought she looked so elegant, and she smiled back,&nbsp;young student who was giving me directions to a place I needed and we started talking about being away from home, the the bus driver who stopped for me after realising I had slapped my head for getting off at the wrong stop... these are just some of the moments and they all happened at some low points, but they helped me pick up.&nbsp;Sometimes it was "<b><i>just"</i></b> a smile, but it made such difference to my day.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-little-girl-in-the-sparkly-red-dress#post-1414089 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 16:04:37 +0000 Anonymous 1414089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do look beautiful, Kari.

Great dose of perspective. Thank you for sharing, and YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-little-girl-in-the-sparkly-red-dress#post-1414061 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 13:34:39 +0000 Karie 1414061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Melodies of Christmas is an annual holiday concert performed by the Empire State Youth Orchestra and Choral. The proceeds go to the Melodies Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorder Center at Albany Medical Center. DH, my MIL and I attended last night's performance.</p> <p>It's an extremely popular event (they give 4 packed performances) and the attire is holiday dressy. On our way in to the crowded theater&nbsp;a little girl said to me, "You look so pretty!" After pausing to thank her, I noticed what she was wearing and exclaimed, "So do you, and I just love your sparkly red dress!" Towards the end of the concert when they bring some of the children on stage for whom the proceeds benefit, I noticed the little girl in the sparkly red dress was on the stage. It made me realize that we never know whose lives we are touching by a kind word or gesture, as we often don't know what others are going through. I don't know if&nbsp;I brightened her day, but I sure do&nbsp;know she brightened mine.&nbsp;</p> <p>Skirt, red blouse (with static cling in pic 2), red coat (5+ yrs. old and should probably be a little longer for this skirt, but oh well): JCP<br />Stockings: Nordstrom<br />Black pumps: Naturalizer (narrow width, yay!)</p> <p>So no matter what you're going through, put on that sparkly red dress, get up on that stage and declare yourself a victor. Happy Holidays! </p>
