This is '90s minimalism. You wear it well! Cute with the jacket.</p> <p>Black and navy do not photograph well. It's hard! Natural light is ALWAYS BEST. Store lighting is terrible :(</p> <p>Stand closer to the mirror so we can see your outfit more clearly, and crop as <b>Suz</b> suggests! <b>Sisi,</b> we love seeing your looks, so please "pester" us </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-pic-a-day#post-2282076 Tue, 20 Sep 2022 16:05:46 +0000 Suz 2282076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>90s minimalism!&nbsp;</p> <p>It is really a trick to get photos. I often crop mine so that I get a closer shot, but black and navy, as you point out, are really, really difficult to show accurately. Luckily, most of us on the forum for a while do understand that.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-pic-a-day#post-2282074 Tue, 20 Sep 2022 15:46:28 +0000 Ashely 2282074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved your outfit it quite classy look. Departmental store pic was looking that you are too far away. 2nd pic is very clear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-pic-a-day#post-2282073 Tue, 20 Sep 2022 15:45:44 +0000 Mirjana 2282073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, very nice simple casual outfit. It's really difficult to make a good pic of black, you couldn't see anything just all black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-pic-a-day#post-2282067 Tue, 20 Sep 2022 14:55:45 +0000 Sisi 2282067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, don't worry, I' m not going to pester you with my outfit pics&nbsp; every day! I think I will do a series and send it in one post.<br />But since we are talking about Minimalism I thought I would share this simple outfit. After shivering yesterday in a still very Summery outfit, today I'm wearing this warmish black turtleneck tee, jeans, silver flat shoes and black nylon parka.<br />Side note: I am realizing how difficult it is to photograph clothes well, and especially black. Under the lights of the department store the parka looked like a big black spot, no details visible. Finally I took a better pic in the office restroom!<br />Comments and suggestions always welcome.&nbsp; </p>
