Caroline, you share a birthday with my Mum in Law who is one of my favourite people in the Universe. Of course you are extra special. Which brings me to where do I start with your captivating fabness.

Well. Lets start with your Killer neutral avant-garde style. You wear shades of ink and grey with the best of them, and rock those asymmetrical and drapey silhouettes like no other. I love the way dark neutrals work with your silver grey hair, sparkly eyes and naughty smile. The effect is rich, interesting and luxurious, yet never harsh and overwhelming. You carry your style with ladylike grace and a sense of “I love fashion but I don’t let it boss me around” integrity. I love the sense of control that accompanies your quirky pieces - which is in itself an interesting juxtaposition. You are a stylish creature and inspire us all. Love that you are friends with ultra fab Penny (Lantana) down under too.

But what I like most about you Caro, is your succinct wisdom and fabulous manners. You cut straight to the chase with few words in a diplomatic, kind and polite way. You are never rude and defensive when you disagree. THAT is a powerful and enviable skill. Thank you for allowing us to learn from you by setting the respectful and strong example. I am wowed. Plus your ongoing encouragement of forum members is divine.

It also does not go unnoticed that you comment on every blog post and support this community very regularly. Greg and I are grateful for your loyal contribution, sweet compliments and highly positive attitude. You enrich YLF in a special way that tickles my toes. We hope you had a brilliant birthday, and celebrated wonderful you.

love Angie
