Shannon, wow!! Those are gorgeous. And just wait until you get to Danier!!!
And how did we miss your birthday? You are a YLF treasure and you deserve a major celebration, complete with champagne, firecrackers, and delicious cake!
What a year it's been for you. So much stress on the home front and work front and health front. Wonderful, happy developments like a new and better job -- and very sad ones, as well, like the illness and impending death of loved ones.
Yet no matter what has been going on in your life, you've always brought sunlight to the forum. You do so much to cheer us with your fabulous style and your wonderful smile. Thank you for the gift of your bubbly, effervescent spirit. Sometimes i wonder how you do it. You plan with the best of them -- yet fundamentally, you dress freely, intuitively. You love the classics but also try new things -- and have fun doing it. You experiment, play, and continually grow. And through it all you have kind words for other and support and encouragement for all, whatever stage of the journey they may be on. No wonder we all love you.
Happy birthday, gorgeous! Can't wait to see your new wardrobe pets in action.
