Thanks for recreating these, Diane! You look great. You looked great in all the group photos too!

When I first saw the thumbnails of your pics, I was wondering how in the world you managed to have pictures of your daily outfits out of your home, because I recognized the setting. I knew you lived in the UK, so I wondered how you managed to commute to Seattle each day. Ha ha.

I especially love the outfits with the polka dot sweater and the blush moto! And the shoes take everything up a notch.

That's so cool that you were able to literally travel overseas for this!

Thanks for showing us your Seattle wardrobe, Diane -- you look lovely and appropriate for the weather and occasion. Love the heeled cognac oxfords! And did I hear mention of a new sweater? Can't wait to see it.

Gosh! Thanks so much ladies for all the kind comments. I felt really happy with my little capsule for my trip.

For those of you wondering about the Pudding Club... well. Angie Inge and I, plus a few others were very fond of our desserts and I mentioned to Angie about a club in the UK that I had heard of. I just found a website for it : http://www.puddingclub.com/ Basically is a group of fellow pudding lovers who get together regularly. I've never been, but I love the idea! Maybe we could try a sort of virtual monthly pudding tasting and report on a regular thread

(how can we tire of Seattle threads?)

Diane, I've never seen so many of your outfits lined up, so this is special treat. You have honed your style beautifully. Each outfit has equal dose of interesting and comfortable, which tells me how carefully you planned them for the activities. I love all the colours. And your shoes. So fab, everything.

Btw, I never mentioned this before, but last winter I saw one lady on the bus with the exact same scarf as the one you got in last year's Secret Santa. How odd was that

Oh, never mind sharing more and more from your wiw's at the meetup, I'm delighted to be able to see the best outfits ever! Yours are all so cohesive, and delicate color combo, love the blush all over(+the cognac shoes and belt matching the hair-so rich and fab!). I see, the kitty tee is still going strong but loved all. The sheer top in the last too is beautiful!!! YLF, Diane!:-)

Diane, these are lovely, and your cognac belt will bring back happy memories every time you use it. Your blush jacket (is that the colour?) is gorgeous with the cognac booties and makes my pastel-loving heart pound.

Someone has already said it on another thread; it is so nice reading everyone's tale of the weekend. I feel like I know you a bit already :).

Wow Diane - these are all fabulous! You have got absolutely perfect proportions in every single outfit and you wear neutrals so incredibly well. It's nice to see your blush moto jacket and with your talented sewing skills, the fit is just spot on. You also gave me a great copy cat idea with the moto jacket outfit with the rolled BF's and ankle strap shoes so thank you!

Wait...did someone mention pudding???

Thank you Ornella, I'm glad you noticed the comfortable bit. I needed that, as everything I was doing was new and different and the last thing I wanted was to be continually adjusting or feeling pain.

Thanks Lyn67, I love my kitty tee!

Thanks Lynne!

Shannon, I'm pleased to think that I've inspired you! Mmmmm pudding!

Fed up with fabulous casual outfits, NEVER... Great looks thanks for sharing them!

Thanks for recreating your fab outfits Diane! Especially as I didn't get to see #2-5 in person, what great cute casual looks (wah! I missed the kitty shirt!). Totally loved getting to see The Blush Moto in person on Saturday, you really did an amazing job with it. Totally love you in those black booties in #1, very sharp.

I always look forward to your outfit posts Diane! You look lovely in all of them! #1 is my fave because I really like that neutral on you and the pants are well cut and go perfectly with the booties!

Diane, I am so happy I saw most of these outfits in person and can vouch that they were even more stunning than in the pictures.
I still cannot believe you did all that travel for the SSIF - WOW! You are a real trooper! I am so glad I got to meet you and even share fish and chips with you!

I remember those shoes and that cute blush jacket! You look wonderful in each outfit and I was excited to see what you wore to dinner the night before we arrived.

Thank you for educating me on the term "pudding" and its general name for "desserts," as I was thinking it meant soft, creamy puddings (like vanilla, chocolate and butterscotch) and custards.

So happy to have met you, Diane, and I do hope we can see each other again. It was wonderful shopping and talking with you.

I hope so too Vicki. Maybe I could make a once a year visit to one of the US meet ups!

And speaking of puddings... for me a proper pudding has to be hot and smothered in thick hot custard such as sticky toffee pudding and custard.Now that's the right way to end a meal!
