I was nodding along with every single word that has been written here, Suz. You are a true treasure, and as fab as it gets! I have the utmost respect for how you reply to so many threads, how your advice and feedback are always honest, kind and spot on. But it's more than that, you intuitively seem to sense it when people need more than just advice on their outfits, and you are always there to help them with that too, offering gentle encouragement, a warm smile, compassion and insights that come straight from the heart.
And then there's your style of course. I adore each and every of your WIWs, and love to read your more analytical posts too. You know exactly what you want and what suits you, and without being bogged down by analysis paralysis you go for it. At the same time you have the patience to wait for exactly the right pieces to come along, and once you have them, you are on Team Wear and clearly have fun experimenting and coming up with all those fabulous outfit combinations. It's a pleasure to behold:-)
Outside YLF, you are just as generous, enthusiastic, and ready to help. I for one, couldn't have gotten my white leather jacket without your and Sveta's help (thank you again for that, I am still so in love with it). With gusto you go out to explore the stores of Canada (and Danier in particular;-) for us all, and it's always a delight to read about those "research expeditions" (as are your posts about your shopping adventures with Sveta, what a duo you are!!).
I am already looking forward to that shopping rendezvous Angie mentions above, my word, I feel giddy just thinking about it.
Happy birthday beautiful Suz! I hope your day (and the entire) weekend will be magical, and filled with everything you dream of.
Inge
