Bonnie - thank you so much
Bronx - you make a good point about the shoes, I have some nice nude ankle strap pumps that would be a good match with the red dress - I will have to give that combination a try.
Barbara Diane - I was so lucky that the lace dress fitted me perfectly. It is a brand that I am very lucky that the cut of their clothing tends to fit me.
Eliza - I really like the neckline on the second dress too. It is strange that more dresses do not have this shape or neckline as it is a nice variation from a classic shift dress.
Angie - THANK YOU so much. You have no idea how much more fun I am having with my wardrobe since joining YLF. Before it was less cohesive and I was less confident in my fashion choices. So a huge thank you to you and other forum members who have taught me so much about style, fashion and to embrace what works for me personally.
JAileen - I am excited about the new flowered lace dress too.
Katerina - I love how you have a signature style that is so very elegant, glamorous and timeless. You are definitely a style inspiration for me.
Jenni - we were both so lucky to find love young. Every morning after I have my shower and I am getting ready, my husband makes me a coffee. It is often the little things like this that make me feel loved rather than the grand gesture of a romantic dinner. We are likely to take our almost 11 year old out to dinner too. He is a pretty special part of the marriage.
Jane - yes it is lovely to celebrate these special occasions and create happy memories.
Christina - we have a few months to go before the anniversary, but thank you, it is great that our marriage has lasted so long and is something to be celebrated.
Janet - I do love my dresses! I have to make sure that I wear them, especially the more dressy pieces like the lace dress.
Rachy - I can thoroughly recommend the Australian brand Moss and Spy. Quite influenced by Dolce and Gabanna - the designer has Italian heritage and dresses in her own designs.
Sarah - I am looking forward to getting some silver heels. I am sure that for dressy occasions they will be a useful wardrobe addition.
Windchime - congratulations on your 25th wedding anniversary!
Sal & Roxanna - I really like it when I associate a certain item of clothing with a special event or holiday. The only problem, is that it can make me keep things that otherwise I may find easier to part ways with.
Shevia - I am glad you like the new dress best. I just love everything about this dress, the lace is so pretty.
Gigi - the red dress is such a pretty raspberry red. I wish it was an easier colour to find.
Jenn - well I do make any excuse to dress up!
Brooklyn - so glad you like the new dress. I love how your style is dressy and elegant with so much variety. Unfortunately, where I live people are incredibly casual most of the time.
Opaline - thank you so much. I think we both share a love for whimsical elements. I am looking forward to seeing your My Melody Furla bag in action!
