Red is a power color and you accomplished a major life change in it. Congratulations and amazing at all the signs that reminded you of your mum. Good kharma I say.<br /> Awesome brogue booties too.<br /> Cheers to you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-buy-a-house#post-846287 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 00:16:30 +0000 Girl X 846287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I clicked on the link thinking you had just bought a horse. Congratulations on your house! That's fantastic - and even more exciting than a horse. And the red dress - totally gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-buy-a-house#post-846216 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 23:03:18 +0000 Ornella 846216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire :: thank you. I'm sure I'll log the building progress on the forum as the things start to happen in a few weeks.</p> <p>Moira :: yes, that is exactly it. When such reminders pop up in the most unexpected places or situations, the feeling of comfort and strength is even bigger.</p> <p>Carole :: yes, this is unexpectedly good length on me - probably meant to hit the kneecap on the regular height lady, but works perfectly for this style for me. Thank you for your good wishes, we'll need a lot of patience and stamina for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-buy-a-house#post-846200 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 22:52:20 +0000 Carole 846200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that is one gorgeous dress and long enough for you which I know is a "tall" order:) I have the hardest time finding dresses that don't look like mini's! What an exciting time for you and your family. Building a home is the best and I wish you good luck throughout the process. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-buy-a-house#post-846163 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 22:01:07 +0000 moira 846163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love everything about that dress.</p> <p>Isn't it nice when these things pop up to remind us that the mommy is always there, always cheering us on, always hugging us? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-buy-a-house#post-846155 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 21:50:36 +0000 Anonymous 846155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So lovely! I'm so happy to hear you're building a house; how exciting. I'm sure this dress was the perfect confidence builder for the closing. You look beautiful in red. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-buy-a-house#post-846125 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 21:06:29 +0000 Ornella 846125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ceit, jayne :: thank you.</p> <p>merwoman :: I'm beyond relieved we're at this stage. This is not just living arrangements sorted, but drawing the line under the move to the new country. And looks like some day I will unpack all the boxes that are still dotted around, at last :-)</p> <p>Thistle :: we have long wait ahead of us and it will be hard in some ways, but as hubby says - at least now we know where we're heading.</p> <p>dianthus :: thank you. This is my favorite color/neutral.</p> <p>sarah :: thank you. This is the silhouette I remember admiring on my mum's photos from 1960s and something I would love to wear more.</p> <p>Tina :: thank you. And I'll add the photo of the boots at end of this post, I hope you like them :-)</p> <p>Inge :: many happy references indeed. Thank you.</p> <p>Shannon :: thank you. I could bet the retro vibe would speak to you.</p> <p>Suz :: what a great thing to say. I feel that way too, at least looking at the house on the paper (for now). Btw, the lady whom I mentioned in my post about the Cos dress was obviously involved in this process a lot from the financing pow, so I thought of you too a lot during this process ;-)</p> <p>Ingunn :: my love for another red dress is well documented on the forum AND this weekend I've managed to resist the temptation of adding another one to my collection. They DO rock if for no other reason but because the color simply speaks for itself. </p>
