Meanwhile I'm spraying some suede footwear - grey footwear - when it dawned on me - you can wear your outfit in the evening. You didn't notice any difference in the greys until you went out in the sun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-have-listened-to-suz-gray-mix-fail-923#post-1562281 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 14:09:03 +0000 viva 1562281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great, but I also hate when I know or notice something, however small, about how I look. It stays with me like a whisper all night long even if no one else notices.&nbsp;</p> <p>But again, to the rest of the world? You looked fierce. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-have-listened-to-suz-gray-mix-fail-923#post-1562238 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 13:10:29 +0000 Sara L. 1562238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shades of grey look fine in the photo, but I'm sensitive to mismatched greys too.&nbsp; I can understand how you could be uncomfortable all day.&nbsp; The sweater is great though and I look forward to seeing it again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-have-listened-to-suz-gray-mix-fail-923#post-1562237 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 13:07:45 +0000 Ankita 1562237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the jewellery and the shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-have-listened-to-suz-gray-mix-fail-923#post-1562234 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 12:59:03 +0000 Anonymous 1562234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great- as always!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-have-listened-to-suz-gray-mix-fail-923#post-1562216 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 12:08:26 +0000 dakotacheryl 1562216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry you were dissatisfied with your outfit. The photos don't show the mis-match to my eye, and the outfit was great on you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-have-listened-to-suz-gray-mix-fail-923#post-1562126 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 02:23:20 +0000 Suz 1562126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, the <b>SUN</b>.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's the darn angle it takes this time of year.&nbsp;</p> <p>If there's a mismatch it doesn't show in any annoying way in the photo at all. Shows as tonal difference vs. jarring mess to my eye. <b>BUT,</b> I know what you are saying. Once seen, you can't unsee that kind of thing. This is one big reason my grey knee high boots get so darn little wear -- I can't help see this problem with every other grey item I own.&nbsp;</p> <p>However, I still think you look uber cool yet feminine. So there.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-have-listened-to-suz-gray-mix-fail-923#post-1562122 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 01:56:58 +0000 JAileen 1562122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well at least the earrings are awesome. Ok, so next time you know to wear different pants with the sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-have-listened-to-suz-gray-mix-fail-923#post-1562106 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 00:48:28 +0000 Anonymous 1562106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Believe me - the tones were not the same. One cool and the other warm. Maybe the photos don't show it as much as I think they do, but in the harsh sun today - eek! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-have-listened-to-suz-gray-mix-fail-923#post-1562082 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 00:20:12 +0000 Jaime 1562082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are very tough on yourself Lisa! I love the sweater, the jeans look terrific and you won't combine them again because it made you unhappy but you actually looked fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-have-listened-to-suz-gray-mix-fail-923#post-1562070 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 00:12:03 +0000 Elizabeth P 1562070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't be so hard on yourself!&nbsp; they may not be a perfect match, but they aren't that bad.&nbsp; I was expecting a whole lot worse based on your description! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-have-listened-to-suz-gray-mix-fail-923#post-1562064 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 00:07:22 +0000 Aida 1562064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Doesn't bother me either; the jeans feel like a very dark blue rather than gray, due to their being denim AND also being such a cool gray (lots of blue in it). Sort of similar to having varying shades of blacks, blues or whites in a tonal outfit. But of course it matters most how you felt and if you felt off, then it's a no-go for next time. I'm liking what I can see of that sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-have-listened-to-suz-gray-mix-fail-923#post-1562013 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 22:44:27 +0000 Sal 1562013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would not have noticed but I am vague like that.<br />I love the jeans worn this way with those shoes- awesome! &nbsp;And you have the best jewelry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-have-listened-to-suz-gray-mix-fail-923#post-1561994 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 22:07:20 +0000 Anonymous 1561994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it -- it gives some additional visual texture to the look.&nbsp; I'm not big on matchy-matchy, so it looks fine to me.&nbsp; The shades don't "match," but they do "go," if you get what I mean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-have-listened-to-suz-gray-mix-fail-923#post-1561972 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 21:18:33 +0000 Anonymous 1561972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see what you're seeing but I still think you look really cute.

Not the "i can't quite see in the dim bedroom light " mismatch . &nbsp;Lol. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-have-listened-to-suz-gray-mix-fail-923#post-1561957 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:46:56 +0000 catgirl 1561957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eh, mismatching makes you seem youthful - at least that's my take! I think no one else will notice at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-should-have-listened-to-suz-gray-mix-fail-923#post-1561956 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:33:58 +0000 Anonymous 1561956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Note to self: &nbsp;either look at the pictures you take of yourself or check your outfit in day/sun light before leaving the house. &nbsp;Feeling quite pleased with myself with this outfit until I got out the door and realized that my washed black skinnies are actually a cool grey and really wrong this fancy new sweater which turned a warm gray in the sun. &nbsp;I had cuffed the jeans (as per suggestions last time I wore these) to showcase the shoes and was so focused on that (aging brain) that by &nbsp;the time I noticed my epic gray mix fail, it was too late to go back in and change. The two word sentence I said to myself started with a bad word. &nbsp;;) &nbsp;It bugged me all day . A lot.&nbsp;</p> <p>The mismatch is totally evident in the pictures too, which I didn't look at immediately after taking them. Oh well, solid black bottoms for this sweater:) &nbsp;</p> <p>sweater &nbsp;: &nbsp;Club Monaco<br />jeans - Current Elliot<br />shoes - Town Shoes<br />earrings and ring - Pandora - two different feather designs </p>
