I especially like the white dress. I travel so light that things that get left are more like cords or a scarf. But security is the worst. At times I might forget for a few minutes that I need to recover shoes or jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vancouver#post-1898934 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 20:48:50 +0000 Helena 1898934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab dresses! Glad the laptop is safe and sound. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vancouver#post-1898894 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 17:42:33 +0000 Dana 1898894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what amazing finds! You look fantastic! I can't imagine presenting for 4 hours without (or with) a lap top. I'm sure my brain would shot off about an hour in. Great job!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vancouver#post-1898882 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 16:26:23 +0000 Roxanna 1898882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much ladies! I won't lie, my heart dropped into my stomach when I realised I didn't have my laptop! Luckily it has all gone ok. </p> <p>Angie - so funny you say that. I like light colours on me too (blush, light heather grey, ivory, white) but I never did before. I wore jewel tones and saturated colours for a while , and distinctly started away from light colours after looking awful in them as a teen. So funny that they seem to work now. </p> <p>@katerina yes this is my conference look - turtleneck, sleeveless dress and leather jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vancouver#post-1898862 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 14:15:55 +0000 JAileen 1898862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both dresses on you. Sorry about your laptop. Glad you did well without it and will get it back. Wow.</p> <p>In a similar vein, I was given a very nice camera for graduation from college. Within two weeks, I left it on an airplane. However, a couple days later I got it back! It still seems amazing to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vancouver#post-1898852 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 13:43:14 +0000 Angie 1898852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my word. NO LAPTOP. You win the prize for winging it. WELL DONE.</p> <p>KILLER white dress. I love those light colours on you.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vancouver#post-1898847 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 13:21:07 +0000 Katerina 1898847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Roxanna, what a day you have had! Impressed how well you have handled it, what a challenge.</p> <p>I guess you needed som shopping therapy then :-)? Both dresses are beautiful and you look fantastic. I especially love the black RL. Perhaps a new conference look? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vancouver#post-1898839 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 12:49:57 +0000 Suz 1898839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! You are a champion for getting through that presentation. I'd be a nervous wreck if I forgot my computer. But I *did* forget my cord in Toronto on the weekend, eek! And I had to prep for teaching and teach the next day. Luckily I was able to rent one temporarily and I now have the original one returned.&nbsp;</p> <p>Those dresses are both lovely on you. Sounds like some good shopping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vancouver#post-1898775 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 06:03:19 +0000 Barbara Diane 1898775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so impressed that you did so well without your computer. And glad to hear it is in security. And cool dresses.</p> <p>DS1 forgot to put his phone in the little basket at security so he handed it to DH, who left it at security after going through the metal detector.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vancouver#post-1898766 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 04:09:42 +0000 rachylou 1898766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Freak out! Ohmigosh, I’d be sick.</p> <p>The dresses are AMAZING! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vancouver#post-1898762 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 03:58:51 +0000 Jaime 1898762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both dresses are gorgeous on you! I really like the second dress with the black boots dressed down, and it could easily be dressed up with pumps and jewelry. Thanks for reminding me why I am so drawn to black and white!<br />As for security mishaps, after 15 years of flying internationally with small (and now big) kids, including many years with a twin stroller, my whole life feels like a d'oh moment! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vancouver#post-1898750 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 02:51:21 +0000 SarahD8 1898750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, lovely dresses! They are like photo negatives of each other. Both fit you beautifully.</p> <p>I gasped when reading your story about the laptop! I am glad it had a happy ending though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vancouver#post-1898749 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 02:45:30 +0000 Roxanna 1898749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in Vancouver on business all week and was very proud of myself for being very organised, having trip details down, scheduling things to the minute, etc... That is, until I arrived and realised that I'd forgotten my laptop at airport security in Toronto! Gah!</p> <p>I did a 4 hour presentation yesterday to an audience of 20 sans laptop or slides. Luckily it went fairly well. Note to self: ALWAYS check that you have everything from the security conveyor belt! Luckily they found it Andy it is waiting for me back in Toronto.</p> <p>On the bright side: I am walking distance from my favourite store ever: The Room at the Bay. This time of year, they have amazing markdowns, so I can actually afford some of the clothes there :)</p> <p>Pics:<br /> Black Dress: Ralph Lauren (this is taken after 14 hours at the convention, so excuse the large bags under my eyes!)</p> <p>White Dress: Hugo Boss from The Bay (I also bought some amazing Hugo Boss grey light wool trousers and a white lace blouse that I will wear this spring.) </p> <p>Thoughts? Comments? Has this ever happened to you or have you had a similar d'oh! Moment? </p>
