I like the stripes on you. And I am so impressed with your photography skills.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-the-skirted-leggingsyet#post-1436410 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 12:32:08 +0000 Jenny H 1436410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look very "of the moment" in the shorter boots-- more so than you would in the tall boots. But in cold weather, the tall boots would still look great and help warm you up.</p> <p>Add me to the list of those questioning what you don't like about the gray jacket. It looks great here.</p> <p>Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-the-skirted-leggingsyet#post-1436378 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 11:03:33 +0000 Karie 1436378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic outfit! I like the dress as you've worn it here, and I'm sure it would look great with tall boots too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-the-skirted-leggingsyet#post-1436368 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 10:10:32 +0000 Dimity 1436368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your dress!&nbsp;<br />If you're interested, Not Dressed as Lamb is a professional blogger and was previously a photographer, and she often posts tips on how to do better outfit photos. Good advice there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-the-skirted-leggingsyet#post-1436326 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 06:43:24 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1436326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this dress and leggings outfit! It's super with the booties, bag, and both toppers. I have a slight preference for the black, perhaps (and can't believe it's from Eddie Bauer, or yes, I can, since I've found my share of gems there). <br />I'm another fan of your photo skills, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-the-skirted-leggingsyet#post-1436279 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 04:01:18 +0000 AM 1436279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the camera lesson. My DH has a camera with lots of settings and it is&nbsp;really intimidating. He was interested in capturing birds in our wooded setting (probably not too far from your neck of the woods, I really loved your into the woods post).&nbsp;With your&nbsp;(and you son's) advice in this post, I might venture into this world of photography. Again, many thanks. And you must be so proud of your son. He has great work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-the-skirted-leggingsyet#post-1436273 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 03:32:13 +0000 kellygirl 1436273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a striking outfit! I like both jackets equally. Photography is superb! You are a quick study! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-the-skirted-leggingsyet#post-1436271 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 03:16:01 +0000 Laurie 1436271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone, and I really appreciate the comments about the photos. &nbsp;I said before, it's really my only creative outlet.</p> <p>&nbsp;I can't believe I let my camera collect dust for one whole year and I give 100% of the credit to my terrific 19 year old son, Danny, who is a self-taught photographer (some of&nbsp;his work is here:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/drosenbergphoto/">https://www.flickr.com/photos/drosenbergphoto/</a>). &nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>Literally he gave me a 45 minute crash course in what to do, I took notes, and now I'm practicing. &nbsp;I have always loved photography, and I really love photography plus words (like Humans of New York? &nbsp;How about that great&nbsp;guy, and all he is doing). &nbsp;Which is what we are doing here!</p> <p>I talk about <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/learning-how-to-use-the-camera">getting started here</a>, and my subsequent posts in January also refer to how I'm taking the shots.</p> <p>As a reminder:&nbsp; <ul> <li>Camera : Canon eOS Rebel SLI</li> <li>Lens: 85mm (because Danny told me to use it...I have no sense for focal length yet)</li> <li>Weather/light: &nbsp;cloudy day, the sun was going in and out while I was shooting.</li> <li>Settings: &nbsp; f 1.8 (very open shutter), ISO 100 (for outside shots), shutter speed - 1) 800 2) 640 3) 1250 4) 640 &nbsp;(due to sun in and out).</li> <li>Remote - this is a wired remote that plugs into the camera. &nbsp;I had bad luck trying to use wireless remotes, but this one is great.&nbsp;&nbsp;I push the button and have 10 seconds to get to my spot, and then it takes 6 shots, 3 seconds apart (you can set that any way you want).</li> <li>Focus - the camera is&nbsp;on auto-focus. &nbsp; In <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-into-the-woods">this post</a> I discovered the problem with autofocus in the woods where the camera was focusing on lots of different branches and leaves instead of me, and I should have manually focused. &nbsp;When you are shooting into a fairly open space, then you are the subject and the camera will auto focus on you. &nbsp;Danny likes to take shots with the subject in the middle of the street, for example.</li> </ul> <br />I would love to take a class from Greg someday. &nbsp;My dream - a style session with Angie, and a photo lesson from Greg!</p> <p>Hugs to everyone, needed a boost today.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-the-skirted-leggingsyet#post-1436173 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 00:40:51 +0000 Angie 1436173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FABULOUS PICS.&nbsp;</p> <p>And outfit. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-the-skirted-leggingsyet#post-1436119 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 22:46:33 +0000 jackiec 1436119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all great! I love your photography. taking notes. not that I could ever replicate. LOL at CocoLion PhD camera </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-the-skirted-leggingsyet#post-1436111 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 22:39:07 +0000 CocoLion 1436111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too was wondering about your photo set-up, your pictures look very professional. &nbsp;Equipment? &nbsp;Are these taken with a timer or by someone else? &nbsp;How do you set the focus on a selfie with a timer? &nbsp;(I've never figured that one out with my PhD = push here dummie camera.) &nbsp;</p> <p>I like all of the ways you've styled this dress. &nbsp;And you have great hair.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-the-skirted-leggingsyet#post-1436066 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 21:22:11 +0000 AM 1436066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>New here. And how do you take those picture? Great job.<br />And great combinations. The gray jacket is actually my favorite piece.<br />Hope you come to love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-the-skirted-leggingsyet#post-1436014 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 20:07:34 +0000 Anonymous 1436014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good to me! I like the outfit with those boots, though I can also imagine them with a knee high boot too as you suggested. What is it about the grey jacket that you're not so keen on? I rather like the bomber look when it's done up as in #1. I&nbsp;also like the Eddie Bauer knit jacket in #3, very nice! I like that the metallic looking panels in your bag look a little like the knit texture of your dress stripes in grey, neat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-the-skirted-leggingsyet#post-1435990 Mon, 02 Feb 2015 19:24:09 +0000 Laurie 1435990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I <i>did&nbsp;</i>get my EF skirted leggings and I&nbsp;<i>do</i> love them (as does my hubbie) but this is not a post about that, yet. &nbsp;</p> <p>In trying on the skirted leggings I&nbsp;realized that I have not worn leggings of any kind this winter and it made me think this JCrew dress. &nbsp;Since my camera was set up and it stopped raining, I &nbsp;took a few shots. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>My tall and mid-calf boots are still in the attic, since I went for the hip surgery just about at boot time. I really need to get them out. &nbsp;I think this dress/outfit would look better with higher boots. &nbsp;It's comfortable. Wore to dr. appt and work from home.</p> <p>Dress: JCrew outlet<br />Leggings : H&amp;M<br />Boots : Clark<br />Tote: BR<br />Grey jacket: Loft (not loving it)<br />Black sweater: Eddie Bauer<br />Watch: Skagen</p> <p>Random photography note - I have discovered that I prefer photos of myself favoring the left side even though I do a 360 every 6 shots. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for looking!</p>
