I had a fabulous time at my first-ever meet up. It was so great to meet everyone and to have new friends to shop with!
I guess I post about Maine a lot in my postings because a few of the others thought I lived there.:-) I actually live in Massachusetts and have a summer home in Maine that I don’t visit nearly enough.
I love any excuse to go into Boston. We were in the lovely older section called Back Bay, and it was extra pretty in the snow. I travelled in and out of the city with some highway driving and some public transportation. I did a very similar commute when I worked in Cambridge for a few years. It was very strange to see the Alewife T station at 8am on a Saturday when it was almost completely empty. My drive home took
twice as long as the drive in, and was tense since it was snowing and the roads were snow covered. However it was not all that slippery and quite manageable. I’ve been in far worse many times. My trusty all -wheel drive Subaru sedan was a champ!
Now to the important stuff
WIW: my black Clark leather sneakers, which I’m wearing a lot since I developed plantar fasciitis in Lndon recently. They are a little casual but the PF is a lot better and they were fine for just a few inches of snow. If we had stayed into the evening I probably would have had wet feet. Blue wool overcoat and long/fluffy blue/gold scarf, cream wool hat, jeans, black tneck, black faux leather jacket. Truffle bag. The group photo is here:

WIB: (see finds for both) I got a really pretty Ted Baker top at Nordstrom Rack We were all looking at this top, and I found after the fact that Diana posted a few months ago about a skirt in the same pattern that she was eyeing http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....tall-boots. The pattern is called citrus bloom.
I also got a navy top at Ann Taylor. The fit on this was really nice and I'm liking navy these days.
I need to do some outfit creation with them and they are most likely spring items.
I had never been in a Club Monaco before and really loved the colors, styles, and fabrics. I tried on a few things that didn’t quite fit but this is a brand I will definitely look at again and there is a store in a mall I shop at frequently.
I also looked carefully at the underlayer items at Uniqlo (the ones Angie mentioned in a blog posting in mid-December http://youlookfab.com/2016/12/.....underwear/
) and will definitely look into buying some when I’m in the market for some replacements.
