Congratulations on your move! Wow, that is a big change for everyone. I have been in Vancouver precisely once, and that was about 25 years ago, but I still have a good impression. I love John Fluevog's window response. Excited to see how your style evolves, and already am working on a teleporter to attend your next West Coast meet up!

Welcome back to the best coast. I look forward to seeing your style evolution and adaptation. I love BC. I have made several trips over the years to Victoria, Vancouver and whistler and loved the climate and the lifestyle. I love my California mountain life, but BC would be a contender.

Yea, you are here. I can hardly wait for the meetup.

Congratulations Suz! It seems that this climate makes you happier. I am glad for you. I hope you will finally be able to wear less snow boots and more shoes that you like!

Wishing you happiness in your new/temp home, and a great year, whatever follows it. I’m sure there will be moments when you realize the thing you want is on the other coast, but how nice not to have to take apart the entire old home at once!

I’ve never been there, or to the NW US, but your style report sounded much like I expected, until I got to the designer bags and the brakes screeched. Is that with the tennies and athliesure described just before it? How surprising!

I’m guessing fall will be less mucky than you’re used to. June being cooler there makes sense-it’s the moderating effect of the water.

Gaylene, I saw much the same thing in Tampa when temps dipped into the 50s or 60s—some people still in their shorts, probably with a sweatshirt or light jacket, others in full-on winter gear, complete with scarves, boots, etc.

Very exciting Suz. I wish you luck as you settle in, and of course I can’t wait for more fashion updates. What a large and diverse place Nth America is. My mind boggles and I hope I get to explore more of it someday.

Gaylene and Suz, I'm telling you. This awful damp cold that we get in the PNW is much colder than a dry cold in the same temperature. Now you know why I always wear a cami or thermals. It's BITTER. Smittie has lived through it and gets it too. And now Gaylene. I feel validated

Congrats on your move, Suz! I love Vancouver (only been there once, but still.) It will be fun for you to have milder weather, yes? You will certainly become a Vancouver style icon!!

Congrats on your move!
