Ooh - Zap -- I am SO sorry!! We were supposed to FaceTime!! I could not do it because as a Canadian I had data roaming/ cellular off. But quite honestly, it was so incredibly hectic that it utterly slipped my mind and never reminded anyone. I feel badly. You WERE much missed and often in our thoughts -- as were so many others here. We spoke of so many people and their outfits and purchasing decisions. (All in the nicest possible way!!)
Janet, thank you so much for sharing these photos -- they are amazing! Mine, I fear, are a lot less fun. But I do have a few to share when I get home.
The birthday was just as terrific as Janet says and it was such a pleasure to meet in person and to see Angie in action. She helped to find some terrific items for just about everybody and did some quick consultations with all. We all learned things about which clothes "get us" and which do not, and most people made a few purchases.
The sales associates were all falling all over themselves in awe of Angie. They could not believe how brilliantly she could work a store -- picking out this, that, and the other for just the right person and making adjustments instantly. You could have an article of clothing on and off in 10 seconds and she would have found something better if it wasn't going to do.
As for me...hehehehe. I will just have to keep you in suspense for a little bit longer. But I will say that Sveta was the one who pointedly suggested that I try this on. I had seen it on the rack -- the jacket part -- but did not see the trousers. She found them lickety-split. And then the others had a LONG wait at the end of a LONG day. You know you are with real fashion lovers when they delay their supper for at least 45 minutes for this kind of thing....
