I know you've been looking forward to this new time of life for awhile, as did I. You look great - relaxed and happy in red!&nbsp;Good luck and have a lot of fun. </p> <p>As an update on retirement wardrobe in my life: Today I was doing a bit of closet organizing and ended up pulling out spring tops and sweaters, mostly those worn to the office last in spring through fall 2016. Last spring I wasn't ready to delete them all, but now I am making a large pile to go. It does make me a bit sad because I really like these items and liked wearing them, and most are fresh and new looking, and I also remember the money I spent, but I just don't wear them.</p> <p>I paired a few favorite sweaters with my more casual tops where I could, and found a few quirky combos that I like, so not all is lost.</p> <p>I remember you asked me to report if I ended up wearing my work skirts when retired, and now I can safely say I barely wore any. I wore a dress or skirt to church, and maybe a couple of other times, for a total of 15 times or less&nbsp;last summer. I did a purge of those items in the fall, but the tops and sweaters stayed at that time.</p> <p>I hope you have so much fun and interesting days ahead! My most recent activity has been working on a collection of small quilts. After my quilt entry into the county art center amateur competition won first place in its category, I was invited to have a show in their sales gallery beginning in May! I've also been doing collages, mixed media,&nbsp;and improving my painting skills, teaching my grandkids art lessons, and still running and lifting weights.</p> <p>In short, my wardrobe has made a good change from public administration office business casual to artist!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfirst-day-as-a-pensioner/page/2#post-1904797 Thu, 05 Apr 2018 18:56:12 +0000 Laurie 1904797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is one of my favorite outfits I've seen you post, just love the red+silver+stripes. &nbsp; Retirement is already kicking in an even higher level of fab-ness, clearly!&nbsp; Love every minute of your hard-earned retirement which will likely find you busier than you have ever been. &nbsp; All the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwfirst-day-as-a-pensioner/page/2#post-1904634 Thu, 05 Apr 2018 12:46:40 +0000 cindysmith 1904634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations!
