I likely will go with the yellow even though the weather today is far from spring-like. How would you go about accessorizing it based on the options available in the various photos? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cocktail-fundraiser-outfits-technology-for-taking-pics#post-2021867 Wed, 24 Apr 2019 11:44:40 +0000 Joyce B 2021867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The yellow dress with the white blazer look very nice on you.<br /> Don’t worry about the tilt in the pictures, we can manage. It is very nice to see you again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cocktail-fundraiser-outfits-technology-for-taking-pics#post-2021866 Wed, 24 Apr 2019 11:27:19 +0000 RobinF 2021866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both but agree that the yellow is more spring-like. I think you wear both colors well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cocktail-fundraiser-outfits-technology-for-taking-pics#post-2021861 Wed, 24 Apr 2019 10:49:22 +0000 Anonymous 2021861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, the yellow, since it's springy, though I like the black on you too. And that Aria sounds wonderful! I used to work with people with low vision, and one fully unable to see, and that would be a godsend to her! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cocktail-fundraiser-outfits-technology-for-taking-pics#post-2021859 Wed, 24 Apr 2019 10:37:29 +0000 Sisi 2021859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's nice to see you again Michelle! You look fab in both outfits but I also have a slight preference for the yellow dress because as Gigi has said it looks more "Spring" to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cocktail-fundraiser-outfits-technology-for-taking-pics#post-2021834 Wed, 24 Apr 2019 07:55:41 +0000 Gigi 2021834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like the other fabbers got you straightened out on the photos. For me, the rotation is less of an issue than the fact that you are way off to the side in the pics, and sometimes part of you is cut off.</p> <p>I highly prefer the yellow dress, because it reads "springtime" to me. The other outfit looks a little heavy to me for this time of year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cocktail-fundraiser-outfits-technology-for-taking-pics#post-2021790 Wed, 24 Apr 2019 06:08:39 +0000 Jane 2021790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yellow gets my vote too. It looks fresh and spring like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cocktail-fundraiser-outfits-technology-for-taking-pics#post-2021788 Wed, 24 Apr 2019 05:53:12 +0000 rachylou 2021788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The satiny dress with white blazer is also my vote! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cocktail-fundraiser-outfits-technology-for-taking-pics#post-2021761 Wed, 24 Apr 2019 03:22:01 +0000 Carla 2021761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle - it is no great inconvenience to tilt an iPad or a phone to view your images. ,it might be trickier for a computer monitor though! </p> <p>The yellow dress gets my vote for your event. I agree with Kathie that the black wedges work well with the dress, even if the pattern is grey. The tonal values are close and they are from the same colour family - grey being black with a little white added. </p> <p>Nice to read your post! Have fun at the event. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cocktail-fundraiser-outfits-technology-for-taking-pics#post-2021757 Wed, 24 Apr 2019 02:58:50 +0000 Michelle 2021757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thanks Kathy! Oh wow...I didn't know the pics would get rotated. I'm very sorry, to you and all other viewers, for the hassle this will cause!</div><div>It obviously doesn't show in the photo, but the darker colour in the pattern of the yellow dress is grey rather than black. So for that reason I did not wear the black wedges.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cocktail-fundraiser-outfits-technology-for-taking-pics#post-2021755 Wed, 24 Apr 2019 02:44:16 +0000 Kathie 2021755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First, the pictures. They’re pretty good, for a first try. They could all be rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise. And, you’re generally in the right 1/3 to 1/4 of the frame, with the rest showing a fair amount of your living space.</p> <p>For outfits, for this time of year, in the northern hemisphere, I love the yellow print on you. Have you thought of trying it with the black shoes, to pick up the black in the print? The pearl choker is my favorite of the necklaces, and the bag is perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-cocktail-fundraiser-outfits-technology-for-taking-pics#post-2021752 Wed, 24 Apr 2019 02:25:08 +0000 Michelle 2021752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Oh my lovelies!! How are you? I hope everyone has been having a wonderful, happy, fashionable time of it during my latest hiatus. Which I can talk more about off-topic, perhaps. For now, though, I have a fair bit to get through!!</div><div><br /></div><div>First things first: this represents something of an experimmment in photo-taking, and if it fails I really apologize. But since I now live on my own, I have had to get creative when assembling outfits I'm less likely to wear to the office (where I have plenty of willing photo takers). Enter a very cool piece of technology called Aira, which allows me to connect to a live agent who can see my surroundings either through the camera on my phone or through a pair of smart glasses. I've used this thing for everything from navigating unfamiliar neighbourhoods to assembling a laundry hamper, but finding a way to take viable, YLF-worthy photos was a definite bucket list item. I had a run at it tonight with the lovely and patient agent unlucky enough to take this call, and the results are below for your inspection and verdict. :)</div><div><br /></div><div>So tomorrow night I have to attend a cocktail event that's supposed to serve as a fundraiser-awareness-raising opportunity for an organization whose board I serve on. This is...not an edgy, avant-garde crowd. :p So I present two very different dress/jacket combos for your review, with various styling options. Apologies for the fact that these pics are in little to no order:<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>1. Black dress + fuchsia jacket. I couldn't be fussed to put on the black microfishnet hose I would wear with this, but wear them I would. There's a close-up of the black suede almond-toe pumps with silver bow that I would use to complete the column of black. To accessorize I could either go for a silver necklace to complement the silver bag, or long knotted white pearls. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>2. A pretty patterned satiny dress with white waterfall blazer. Nude pumps would carry the day here, along with nude hose that I also didn't bother putting on for this shoot. Necklace options include the same silver one (styled as a round choker), a pearl choker, or pearl earrings + bracelet combo. Same silver satchel. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Please weigh in on the various combos and let me know what you would wear. And do tell me if these photos work! If so, I will post a whole lot more in the very near future!</div><div><br /></div> </p>
