What Jamie said! You look fab as always and I love your footwear. The FL do look very Birkenstock inspired but more refined and not at all orthopedic. Coincidentally, I just got rid of a bunch of sandals that were just meh and taking up space—some I used to really love but now don’t really suit my style. i can also relate to not wanting to add much to the wardrobe and shopping the closet. A lot of us are in the same space and stage in life and I’m so happy your back to share your style! POMP dress is gorgeous and modern. YLF!

Welcome back…glad to see you again and you look spectacular, as always. Please don’t be so hard on yourself!

How great to see you again Lisa.! I’ve missed your postings and comments.
There’s nothing like shopping the wardrobe to get the creative juices working, and from your photos I can see you haven’t lost your fab touch.

Welcome back!! It’s great to see you on the forum again. I have missed your keen eye for detail and your explanations of how you put your outfits together. Count me as another fan of the POMP dress. And your skin, nails and make-up are on point as always.

I have missed your thought process in your posts!
I know what you mean about lurking, I did it for about 7 years and realize now it is more fun to be able to see and comment.
I have a hard time with any picture of myself, selfies compounding the problem. I wonder if I need new glasses or something cuz I never look like what I think I look like!
Look forward to your participation

Hi Lisa. As always, you look so put together and cool. I love the sandals and think they are stylish. Looking forward to many more of your outfits for inspiration.

Lisa - So great to see you!!!! You look terrific in everything. I bought a pair of Vince bermudas in the spring and think the first looks is just summer elegance at its best. Your hair looks wonderful too. Congrats on shopping your closet and enjoying the beautiful things that you have. I like the london fly sandals. I have the bagu boots in navy so I appreciate how comfortable this brand is. I always admire their peeptoe sandal/booties too but I worry they will cut the top of my toes which is a problem in peeptoes for me. https://www.amazon.com/FLY-Lon.....NB16/?tag= But when I see "cool" I always think of you!! Hope you are well and just beaming much love, health and peace your way!!!

Welcome back Lisa! Looking fab as always. I love your shoes and don't think they are orthopedic at all. The dress is great, agree it might be fun to try with the other sandals or Vans.

Nice to see your outfits! Welcome back.

Thank you ALL for such welcoming , kind comments. It makes my decision to return feel right. I started to reply to individual comments but lost track while reading on my phone . This has already made me feel like dressing better and making the effort.

@ LJP - would you mind sharing your face care and make-up routine? Your skin looks fantastic! (It could be a separate post or PM me.)

I love your hair! Looks great on you. I missed you and happy to see you back.

I missed your humor, honesty & insights. So pleased you are back!

Welcome back! Yoo look wonderful as usual and I love your hair.

Welcome back, Lisa!! It is so great to "see" you, and you look AMAZING! Your hair looks fab, and I actually really like the dress on you, and I am a fan of the sandals, too. Your input on the board is a great thing, and I am so happy that you are back!

Welcome back, Lisa. I missed you here (even though my own participation is somewhat spotty). You are looking as fab as ever. I am inspired by your style and like all of these outfits. You make the work-outfit shorts look cool. The dress still looks very chic to me, and I like it with the sandals and bag. Could it go with the Vans, too? I adore the colorful outfit--the matching bag just launches it, to my eye. I'm sympathetic to your hair woes; I think about a grow-out every now and then, and the idea of it overwhelms me--haha! I like your edgy looking cut. I think: ooh, that's the idea! And then I realize: oh, right, my waves would NOT do that!

Welcome back, Lisa. You look as fabulous as ever. Love the new hair do. I'm with you on "shopping your closet". I haven't bought much this past year and am trying to be mindful of my purchases and resist temptation. It's getting easier to say "I don't really need that, I have plenty".

I guessed it! Welcome home
*pets the floofy kitty belly*
These are great! Love the Vans, and the FLs definitely don't look orthopedic to me either.

It's so good to see you back, Lisa!

Oh, and I forgot to mention that Oliver steals the show. What an incredibly handsome cat!

Oliver says thank you . We , and he , are not sure if he is actually a she . Lol.

If you are sharing your skin care routine—don’t make it a secret!

Nice to see you LisaP. Your descriptions made me expect something underwhelming, but every one of those is edgy and consistent.

Welcome back Lisa! Looking great!!!!

Missed you and welcome back!
I LOVE the anthro blouse and jeans outfit. I really like seeing you in color. All your outfits look intentional and very put together, something I'm always striving for .
Happy you're back and look forward to your posts !

We missed you, Lisa- I also wondered where and why did you left- but so happy you're back!
I can fully understand you have other priorities than new clothes-and trust your sense of style for putting together amazing outfits from what you already have in your wardrobe-the ones you put up here are no exceptions-and...I actually LOVE your new short hair-it suits you so well! I know you wanted longer hair... and hah---I also want to grow out mine a bit---but don't really have a plan-just want to have more hair around my face and my neck soemhow--and struggle with the in between looks A LOT!!! 1-2 cm longer and my hair is dragging down sides- no shape and looks unpolished..brrr...I just don't have enough patience to live with it ---so I always end up cutting off my ends and than no progress is showing:-(I cut my own hair since pandemic- exactly because wanted to let it grow out). Ah, don't listen---just wanted to say welcome back and thanks for posting!!:-)

Welcome back! Love the outfit with colour.

Happy to see you again, lp, had been wondering where you were. Welcome back!

Hey there! Good to see you - I've been away so much I didn't realize you hadn't been here. You look great in all your outfits you posted. I also like your hair the way it is now.

Can't say I've been keeping up with fashion much as music has been the forefront for me the past several years. Most of my purchases have been gauzy lightweight short sleeved classic tops from jcrew or madewell. Or "made by me" hacks of various long pants I wasn't wearing because they were just too hot.

Your outfits are much more polished :-).
