Congrats! You looked great.
I love the cake.

I was too late to vote, but not too late to tell you that you looked amazing, and wish you the greatest congratulations! What a clever cake!

I'm a tad late for the vote but CONGRATS to you! Both looks were gorgeous! My favorite was #1

Thank you all!
Sharan, next is lots of travel, time with the grandkids, some home projects, and if I'm home long enough between trips I'd like to take a class or two at our local art center.
No big sartorial changes are on the horizon, since I wore scrubs for work and didn't have a professional wardrobe anyway. I will, however, have more time to actually wear the nice clothes I have!

You look far too young to retire, Parsley! I loved both outfits, but #2 was my favorite, too. Congratulations on the new leg of life - it certainly must become a wonderful time by the sound of it.

Very late to the party .. But oh my you look sensational in the pleated top! Congratalatond and cheers to the next phase of life!

Oh .... The cake and cookies are so fun!

Parsley - cutest cake and cookies ever!! Amazed what people can make!!

Congratulations, you looked smashing!

Agreed- you chose a fantastic outfit, and Happy Retirement

I only saw this now but I enjoyed looking at both options you posted, you look great! Congratulations! Sounds like you are going to have a wonderful time (you might be living my dream retirement life)!

Outfit 2 was perfect, Marcy, and how amazing is that cake!!
Congrats on your retirement, and here's to having TONS of fun during the next leg of life. Loving the sound of all your plans:-)

Congratulations! A gorgeous look, and such a cute cake. Enjoy all your travels ... I love work but travel will be my top priority when I'm able to take more time.

Congratulations! I echo the others in saying that you look way too young to retire! You chose an elegant but fun and festive outfit for your party- just perfect.

I can't wait to hear more about your travels! This next stage of life sounds delightful.

YLS - You Look SPECTACULAR!

Congratulations on your retirement, and nice cake.

Spectacular choice. Very elegant yet understated, just like you. Congratulations and I can't wait to hear about your retirement plans -- any trips you're thinking about?
