LisaP has picked the main difference - you don't have that very complimentary background setting that ties into all the colours in the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/copycat#post-2310347 Sun, 26 Feb 2023 05:29:30 +0000 slim cat 2310347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicely done - cool color combo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/copycat#post-2310333 Sun, 26 Feb 2023 03:46:14 +0000 Jaime 2310333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brilliant!

I love that deep burgundy color and you wear it well.<br /> One of the details we can’t see in Alison’s photo is whether or not the sweater is tucked in, but I’m wondering what your version would look like with the sweater untucked which I think would help with the stance of the buttons, of course I could be wrong </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/copycat#post-2310306 Sat, 25 Feb 2023 20:21:57 +0000 Bonnie 2310306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your version.

A few minor tweaks to your version maybe , but her professional lighting and photography in general is what’s different . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/copycat#post-2310300 Sat, 25 Feb 2023 20:12:24 +0000 Helena 2310300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/copycat#post-2310299 Sat, 25 Feb 2023 19:59:36 +0000 Carla 2310299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a&nbsp;<i></i>fabulously well done copy-cat! &nbsp;Brief met! &nbsp;You can’t discount the pose, and the cool brick-wall background as elements of the inspo photo, but with regards to the outfit you wanted to emulate - you nailed it with items from your closet. &nbsp;<i></i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/copycat#post-2310296 Sat, 25 Feb 2023 19:03:55 +0000 April 2310296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Given your comments, L'A, I was surprised by how much I thought your version *did* pop. I guess the one thing I noticed is that the leather in the inspo pic has sheen, whereas your cords are matte. Otherwise, pop pop pop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/copycat#post-2310293 Sat, 25 Feb 2023 18:43:50 +0000 Dee 2310293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I think its a pretty darn good version, but maybe it’s not popping as much as you like because the plum sweater is a cowl neck with the blazer and you mentioned that you like the way a high turtleneck frames your face more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/copycat#post-2310292 Sat, 25 Feb 2023 18:35:10 +0000 L'Abeille 2310292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all here's an outfit from last week.</p> <p>I was intrigued when Angie recently challenged RunCarla to copy an inspiration photo. I've been bored lately trying to get dressed, and forum conversations about jeans, joggers, and cargoes didn't suit my workwear needs or preferences. So I went looking for my own copycat challenge.</p> <p>So, here's my inspiration pic from That's not My Age, and my version. How did I do?</p> <p>I substituted burgundy cords for the leather, which I don't own. The cowlneck sweater is slightly more plum but I didn't mind the tonal variation. The Glen check blazer (with tiny red stripe) is thrifted Michael Kors. Fits like a dream, but the stance is higher than I'd like. If I button it, I use the bottom button, which is where I wish the top button was.</p> <p>I was surprised that the outfit didn't "pop" in the mirror for me the way it did in Allison's photo. I find these false plains challenging near my face, same as with grey; it works best with a face-framing high black turtleneck.</p> <p>Thanks for reading. </p>
