A Quick Hello: Outfits, Window Shopping, Updates

My long lost forum family! I missssss you alllll!

I have been slowly settling into my new condo (hard to believe it has almost been a month already) - painted my bathroom the other day (citron!) and helped DH install a new light fixture (chandelier!), although the old picture frame I was going to use for my inkblot collection broke and has stalled the completion of our "master suite." We also had guests spend a weekend with us, and I've been riddled with anxiety over NAS and other job things such as my (now ex) manager moving out of state.

I still have not put any energy into finding a better outfit photo location, but here are a couple of shots... apparently being in FFBO mode means not changing my jacket... Also a couple of favorites from Rodeo Drive, where we took our very good friends' teen daughter when they came to visit.

I have been lurking here a fair amount - loved seeing the All Saints sale hauls and some sandal and backpack showdowns. It's hard to believe retail is moving into FALL already... yowza!

OK, DH is adorably pleading with me to get a move on so we can see fireworks tonight, so I should go, but I could not stay away. any. longer.

Hoping to be back one of these days - got to be in good form for Shoptoberfest, which is apparently fast approaching since it is JULY. O_O

RAE!!!!! I've missed you! Thanks for popping in and showing a couple of your outfits. As usual, you look very cool and put together. I'm loving your hair these days!
Looking forward to when you become a regular again!

Hi! Enjoy your new condo. Happy to see you pop by. You're one of my YLF rocks I depend on being around here

Rae! So good to see you! Congratulations on the new abode -- what little I can see of it looks great!! And you look great, as usual!

Missed you! Is that short jacket from Zara?

MsLuna

We missed you Rae! And my... What lovely outfits! I'm especially loving #2. It's so sexy in a RATE kind of way!

Good luck settling in

Your outfits are amazing - if that jacket is a FFBO, then keep on wearing it!

What is that gorgeous jacket pictured last???

Rachel! You have been sorely missed. I figured there might be some nesting going on at the new abode. And then I remembered you have NAS around the corner as well. You look so amazing in these pictures...I have been away a little and since I didn't see it happen gradually, I sense a bit of a style...mmm...let's say evolution...going on with you? Not a shift, but just a "ever so much more so Rae" than before. And I love it! Keep it coming. And I, too need that last jacket on the mannequin if it's in a good color (and if it has a breathable lining, of course).

Debbie

Love your outfits. Glad the condo is coming together.

Your outfits are fantastic, and it's great to see you again. I was actually just thinking about you today and wondering where you'd been. (I can't recall now what the context was.) Anyway, I would like a pair of those pants from Rodeo Drive, please. That's all--I'm not asking for a lot.

Ooh- love your split skirt in pic#2!
Nice to hear from you too

Karie

Glad to see you again, we've missed you! That skirt in #2 is fantastic, as are all your outfits. And the jacket in #6 is spectacular!

crutcher

Glad you are back if only for a minute..I want those pants...ok Santa...

Eliza

Thanks for popping in with your great outfits and settling in updates. Sounds like it is all coming along.

May NAS be good to you. Enjoy the weekend!

Suz

Great to see you, Rae, and glad things are going mostly well. Stress comes with the territory of a move, no question. You are doing great!

Beth Ann

Good to see you, Rae! By the looks of these outfits, you've kept your bit of rock 'n roll edge even working at Nordies! Your style has attitude, but is also grown up polish. Brava!

Looking fab! I've missed you. Moving can be stressful but is mind expanding too. I hope that you can relax and enjoy the process.

There you are. I've missed you, Rae.

Your citron bathroom sounds fabulous, and I bet you're enjoying making your new house a home. Are the kitties settling in?

I LOVE #2 and #4. Killer looks. xo

Waving hello

Yay! Good to see you again -- I figured you were in crazy busy work mode, plus nesting mode. If you're anything like me, you must get unpacked and settled in as soon as possible. I hate living with boxes!

You look smashing as always. And I'm drooling over that turquoise jacket on the mannequin -- you saw that coming, didn't you? I shouldn't ask where that was, should I?

Looking great Rae! Good to see you. Love that FFBO jacket and love to see it. My favourite has to be #2 as I love the drape skirt. Nice pics from Rodeo Drive too. What fab jackets!

shedev

Missed you Rae. Hope the house is coming along.

Ariadne

Great to see you! Your outfits are always among my favourites. The citron bathroom sounds amazing.

rae

Thank you all for such sweet replies and for not forgetting about me!

Ceit, yes, the short jacket is Zara. I think its official name is Short Jacket, too, lol.

As for the Rodeo items, the teal jacket and cargo pants are both Ralph Lauren, pants about $400, and I did not bother to check the price of the jacket. :O The last jacket is from G Star... they also had some amazing jeans there that I may have to ebay stalk!
