More No-MO-vember WIWs

Ackk! Just got finished recreating more outfits. How do you guys who post everyday do it? I'm exhausted - and soooo hot!

Anyway - here's another 6 outfits. Because I was re-creating these outfits, I forgot to change out some of the details - like my watch, handbag, etc.

If you want the details of what, where - I'll include that in the thread, OK?

Day 1 - #1,2 - work at home barefoot - went to animal shelter committee meeting that evening - added the red pumps.
Day 2 - #3 - got this dress from Denise (Cocolion) at a YLF swap several years ago. Love it!
Day 3 - #4 - church - Aida helped me pick out this sweater several years ago at the So. CAL Shoptoberfest.
Day 4 - # 5, 6, 7 - work at home - went to grocery store that evening so added the jacket. (my life is soooo exciting!)
Day 5 - #6 - date with husband. OTK black boots!
Day 6 - #9, 10, 11. After I saw these pics, I realized that the lining on the top was bunched up and made it look like it didn't fit right - the lining also hangs down below the hem, so the sweater actually is longer than what you see in the pics - I think that makes the proportions OK. (trying a volume on volume look!)

Thanks for looking - and open for suggestions!

Marley, thanks for going to all this effort. I know it's a lot of work. First, may I say how stylish and terrific you look? I'm not sure if I ever got a chance to tell you how much I like your asymmetric hair cut! You have some great casual looks here and I don't think you could ever look bad in a skinny jean. I love the white ones. Your arms look amazing in that high-low dress. You can definitely tell you're an athlete! The only look that gives me pause is the last one. I might shorten the pants and/or try a semi tuck to add back in a bit of structure. All in all thought, you are looking fine!

Gorgeous! These all work to my eye but I'm especially in love with the white jeans and quilted bomber.

Fantastic outfits! My favorites are the ones with the white jeans.

These are all fab, but I really like the volume/drape of #9.

STOP IT! You are too fab for words. I'm coming on your next date night - that is my favorite among favorites. What is that shirt?!

They are all fab - #3 & #9 get my votes

Wow! You look especially amazing in the dress in #3, and I love how your hair makes everything look kind of rocker-esque.

I love these! (Not that I post so often, but I snap the pictures while I am still wearing the outfit - but I do appreciate you efforts!) There is not one I would not want to copy.

Marley

Thank you everyone! You are all so kind!

Claire - I know what you mean about the trousers in the last outfit. They really look long, don't they? I'm surprised because I've had these a couple of years now - and I've never thought they were too long before! Weird, huh?

Una - the date-night shirt is Vince. I got it at the NAS. It's trimmed in faux leather and made out of polyester - so not a real "nice" shirt - but I love it anyway!

Carole

So fabulous, every single outfit. Your style is so inspirational, Marley! thanks for sharing.

FlorenceFearne

Yowza! Look at you, foxy lady, rocking those OTK boots in #8! Love that look! It's tough to pick a favorite, though. I really like the pink and red together in #1-2. I occasionally feel like wearing pink - what a good idea to pair it with a bolder color. And #3 is perfection. Looks like something I'll try to copy in summer, as I do boots all year round. You're really an inspiration.

shemarie

Can't possibly pick a favorite, Marley. You look amazing. I absolutely adore your style! I think I read your post on Una's/E's thread, and if I remember right yours was rocker/athlete/etc. You completely nail it!

Ariadne

Veteran

Wow. No way can I choose a favourite. I absolutely love every outfit. And your hair! It's insanely incredible. White jeans were MADE for you.

Neel

You look like a bomb in all of those!!! Love your haircut and your style! The white on white has to be my favorite! Although all of them are just fantastic!

AJ

Veteran

Yep, if I didn't get a chance to take a pic the day I wear an outfit, I don't bother with recreating it. It's too much work. I just try to remember to get a pic the next time around.

Marley, all these outfits are FAB, made even more so by your natural gorgeousness! No wonder you've been mistaken for a celebrity.

This is such a treat, to see you post this many outfits! And thank you for directing me to your thread, or I'd have missed how fantastic you look in that dress!

You have great style, you are one of those who honestly intimidated me when I first joined YLF because you always looked so chic and edgy just like I wanted to look. Now I know you IRL and sorry, but not intimidated any more! You are so fab -- warm hearted, approachable, funny and smart.

I was reading Alaskagirl and E's threads about style and one's body, and this dress is the perfect example of how one can have a similar style persona -- as you and I do (Effortless California with a bit of Rocker thrown in is where we intersect) -- but work with our individual body types to find the garments that best flatter us. The dress, because I do not share your flat abs and broad shoulders, looked frumpy on me. However, the Zara dress I got with y'all in Santa Monica, has just enough design details to work on me -- a boat neck shoulder line to broaden me, and princess seaming to flatter my hourglass shape. So two people can have similar styles and allude a similar vibe but they would have to wear differently cut garments to make the most of their individual body types. They might not be able to wear the same things all that often.

PS -- I agree, I am awed by those who manage daily WIWs. But you deserve extra credit for re-creating these! So much clothing on the bed to re-hang!

Marley, I love how you're wearing your previous poison eye - white anything - and loving it now. And from head to toe no less. You're open minded and fearless, and that comes through in your killer style. You rock my style world. xo

Oh....wow. So glad you took the trouble to recreate these. And I know it is a lot of work. Believe me, it's less work to do it on a daily basis if you have the camera set up. But recreating is a major job!

You look amazing, Marley. I am completely in agreement with Angie that the looks with white are extra special fab on you. And I also love the Vince shirt that Una asked about.

Denise, your comments are so helpful and interesting. It's so true - we have to pay attention to our body type to see what might work for us even within a given style direction. And Marley, lucky me, I get to learn from YOUR example!

You do look amazing. The white makes you glow. You always inspire me!

Darn it! Could you get any cooler. You look a-ma-zing! Well done for going to all the trouble of outfit re-creating.

love them all, but i'm swooning over #9. (and #4, & #7)

Marley

Veteran

Thank you everyone - and Denise - I'm amazed that you'd ever feel intimidated by me - 'cuz you got it goin' on girlfriend - and I take "lessons" from you everytime you post an outfit - so thanks for that!
Also - your observations about style personas and body-type are right on. I remember when you tried that dress on at Zara - and I absolutely loved it and for a few seconds thought to myself that I should try it too - but, I already knew that the boat-neck would only emphasize my thick and broad shoulders and short neck - and hence, would be extremely unflattering on me, so I didn't even bother. (A good example of body-types dictating wardrobe choices - even when the wardrobe item falls into our style persona.)

Marley I'm swooning. How do you make it look so easy? Love the white looks. My white chelsea boots are needing a debut and your outfits inspire me. But I still can't find the right white belt like yours!

Love that haircut! Have you had that style for long? I too, go about as short as that.

I am so glad you didn't ask for a favorite outfit vote, because I would have to bench myself. These are all fab. I know how much work recreating outfits is, and I really appreciate your efforts, I adore your style. You really have an eye for details that make each outfit very unique and fun. The red shoes in #1 is genius, I would have worn a light skin tone color but the red works so well here. The boots in #3 take the dress into relaxed territory, you look so comfy! That top in #5 shows off your toned arms nicely. #8 is a really fun top and then those tall boots added here too, swoon! And the last outfit is a fun volume on volume look. A stellar week! I think what blows me away here, is not one outfit is with blue denim. That is the core of my wardrobe, I'd be lost without it.

Beth Ann

Veteran

All of these are uh-mazing, Marley! So distinct, and yet all so well suited to your body and style. I'm particularly fond of the last look. You are fabulous at wearing different silhouettes in a way that works for you. You look utterly beautiful in every pic.

For a more casual look, or a day that required plenty of walking, I would see#1 with sneaks or oxfords (oxford and button down -- a little preppy, but you would rock it). I could also see the red pumps with the black dress for a starlet look, vs. the wonderful edgy look you have going on.

Gosh... You are good!! I love each and everyone of them. Great work. Cannot give you any suggestions as you are too good for me. Don't think you need any help. Love that bag of yours. Would so much like to have that too. And the black pointy shoes in the last photos... Sooo delicious.
