YLF Meetup: Lunch with Janet!

We shopped a bit too

Janet passed through Seattle on her way back to Annapolis - and we had a marvelous 4 hours together!!! We yakked till the cows came home over a long lunch, and browsed through the Nordies flagship.

Janet found two KILLER tops that I said she could not live without! LOVE them sooo much. Nice and different to what she has.

I took a pic of my outfit in the Nordies loo! Left off my belt. I'm living on the edge......

Janet's silvery shag is gorgeous! Sophisticated Joan Jet, and very on trend. Never better! Janet was complimentary of my new hair, which made me smile!

Janet and I have met many times before - in New York, Boston, and on her first trip to Seattle 8 years ago. It was excellent to catch up, and hug post pandemic! xo

Yay! What an adventure! I should have stowed away in Janet’s bag and joined you! What a fun shop. You are both looking gorgeous in your blues and I love the new tops, Janet!!

Wow! What a surprise treat this morning! You both look amazing and I love Janet's new tops (as well as the one she is wearing). Angie the combination of blue checks, yellow and the white jeans is so good! Sort of subverted country club chic . Thanks for sharing!

Yay! What a perfectly lovely afternoon. Thank you so much for meeting me so last-minute. XOXO! This, combined with the lovely breakfast with Suz yesterday, was a wonderful way to cap off a terrific adventure in the PNW!

Here’s my outfit in my hotel mirror this morning. And the astronaut artwork in the bathroom, LOL. My hotel is fabulous — very modern, and my morning coffee order was delivered by a robot (pic 3)! The view from my room is pic 4.

After Angie and I parted, I cruised through Allsaints and succumbed to this beautiful/edgy black eyelet top. I’m a bit enamored of eyelet lately, and this one is really cool. Surprisingly I think I can get away with it with just a black bra underneath. It’s hard to photograph but I’ll try at a later time.

Oh, and can I just say that clearly Angie ranks highly with the Nordies staff, who are wonderful at this location anyway. She was greeted warmly, and it felt a bit like shopping with a celebrity. But Angie is as gracious as could be, and it was a total treat!

Thanks, everyone!

Sweet, Suz, yes! You should have joined us! Missed you. Next time

Jaime, so gracious! Subverted Country Club Chic has a nice ring to it

Janet, the hotel, your outfit, the astronaut, the robot, and the view are ON POINT! Love the new eyelet-black lace top too! So pretty (...thanks for the kind words!)

You both look stylishly terrific. Janet love all your unique new tops and Angie that checked blazer combo is just so causal chic even with no belt lol.

Chuckling over the no-belt - walking on the wild side, Angie!

Dazzled by the robot. Would Sparky come to my house?

Janet, I was going to ask about the Nordstrom staff, since my idea is that when Angie walks in it's like the old Cheers bar when George Wendt arrived: "NORM!"

Reading this this morning brought tears of joy. Listening to the news this morning, with some much going on, to read this lovely post about 2 people from different parts of the country (and world of you zoom out farther) who met on line, meeting up and sharing a meal (& some shopping), was just what I needed.

What a happy post to read this morning - the smiles, blues and Angie’s cheery citron bring it all home. Glad you two were able to catch up and have such a nice time. Janet, I love your hair!

Suntiger

Angie what a lovely post! I need to find an excuse to go to Seattle

And Janet what an adventure you are having! Two countries, roboti-delivered coffee, numerous photos (I'm sure), TWO YLF meetups, shopping with Angie at the Mother Ship .... !!!!

Love that shirt, what a clever placement of extra-location buttons and buttonholes to create a wrapped/draped effect. The photos on Nord site do not show all the possibiltiies.

Kkards, appreciate you sharing your heartfelt emotions

Brooklyn and Suntiger, hope to see you in Seattle one day! Will roll the red carpet out for you

Star, I'd love to meet you too! We share living in South Africa, which is meaningful

Slim Cat, Seattle misses you! Come visit.

Dee, you are so lovely! Appreciate that very much

April, you crack me up, and I appreciate that too

Pill, wonderful to see you chime in! Much enjoyed meeting you in Boston. Cuddles to your pups!

Chris987, I'm ready for your visit! The robots too

Suz, we need that AllSaints top in white!

Eliza, exactly! Sad we missed you at the Boston gathering. I'm sure we'll meet another time

Janet, I am with you on finding eyelet fun these days. It’s not just super sweet or super boho pieces only available in white; you have a great edgy black piece here. Another poster had modern black pieces last summer. Mine are tan, coral and black geometric patterns.
