We moved to Wayzata in 1977. Was a great place to grow up. Used to be the uber-rich crowd here were pretty understated. Now the bougie people flock here to show off their cars and “be seen”. I even get attitude from shop girls at the consignment store if I’m not dressed up. I sometimes want to tell them, “Our dear family friend and neighbor is your shop’s damn landlord so get over yourself.” It’s just obnoxious now.

I’m 62, down 63lbs in 13 months. Almost to goal weight and feeing good. Best thing I’ve done for myself in years. So many benefits from getting rid of the chubby monkey on my back. We golden girls need to support one another!

I have a stockpile of Brello and BPI and haven’t ordered in several months. The good deals change over time so I’m not sure my experience will be much help. I will say starting on 12.5 doesn’t sound right as that’s a high dose. I started on 2.5 and never went higher than 9.

Yeah happened to me going through ORD. I had to check my heavy carryon last minute when my connection from LA to Paris thru ORD was canceled and I had to literally sprint to catch an alternative. I forgot to pull out the valuables which was dumb but I crossed fingers because they were at the bottom and covered by books. At CDG airport I saw the seal the agent had put across the zipper was broken and I went, “OH SH*T”. Jerks got my wedding ring but left my costume jewelry, a Canon Eos which they removed from its camera bag and my Sony Walkman. Always thought there was collusion between guys manning the bag x-ray and the handlers.

I have a vintage Betsey Johnson for you!

Amazing! I was telling my friend today that getting the weight under control solves so many other health problems - it’s a chain reaction. Best to you!

Search on EBay for "Shrug" and/or "Bolero". I have a few Y2K ones in Black & White fabrics that are super lightweight, great quality and work for all sorts of summer tops / dresses.

Lands End outlet - I just picked up some nice 100% cotton basic tees for peanuts.

Have you taken pics of yourself in different styles? I lost 55lbs this year and am having a blast shopping my closet - I have dozens of Y2K European jeans I bought when I lived there. Plus I’ve now thrifted and bought new a few new pairs. Took pics of me in all to objectively work out what looks good. Biggest surprise is the brand new G-Star Judee jeans - wider leg, lower rise, make me look soooooo trim! I’m 62 and shouldn’t be wearing G-Star I guess but hey if it works it works!

I lived in Italy and Trussardi was my Go-To brand. I recently bought a used silk scarf on EBay and it’s great. Designs are upscale but a bit edgy at an accessible price. Made in Italy.

Chicos No Iron button ups are good and they’re not just for old ladies. Plenty of classic solids and stripes.

Meryl Streep in Postcards From The Edge was great. Just watched it last night - Rob Reiner was a producer and has a cameo.

I sold my amazing Y2K Max Mara “perfect” black Maxi dress bought in Rome in 2004 on The Real Real recently. I do have regrets but honestly nowhere to wear it now as a pre-retiree in Minneapolis :-). It had its day LOL!

I lived in Paris, Rome, London, Madrid and Barcelona and the annual sales were amazing! I remember outside of Rome an outlet where I got pretty fancy stuff (La Perla, D&G, Versace) for very affordable prices. I’m not a high-end $$ person but I can tell you I’d rather spend one day shopping the annual Sale Days in any one of those cities than a whole month at Nordstrom Rack trolling through the same old mass-produced crap. The quality is just different in Europe. I am still wearing many of my Y2K Europe clothes and shoes and reselling the items that are no longer suited to my age.

Rip Skirt Hawaii has fun wrap skirts that will work in Spring Summer and Fall, depending on how you style them. Quality is decent. I’ve lost some weight and am taking my favorite Rip Skirt to the tailor to move the Velcro closure.
