I love , love 1.. Very cool and sort of tough looking, fab!<br /> 2 looks great as well. Neautoful color on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-18th-and-20th-may#post-1494570 Thu, 21 May 2015 15:55:53 +0000 shedev 1494570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the texture of the top in #1, and the blue top is pretty on you. Hope you feel much better soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-18th-and-20th-may#post-1494451 Thu, 21 May 2015 09:52:38 +0000 lyn67 1494451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry for feeling down, but these 2 looks are still gorgeous to my eyes!:-) Thus I also am known for the most demented candids, I did find a spot which shows up acceptable, so I'm OK with that(&amp; posting here it surely &nbsp;helps getting some experience:-)). &nbsp;Nr 1 should be a FFBO-is so fab-always love some rich textures!Color in nr 2 suits you well, and can imagine the back split giving even more interest to the outfit. My only suggestion would be to wear it without the white beads. It would feel even more modern and natural to my eyes-like a feature of showing up more confidence! And, I learnt it on my own experience(a low contrast blonde, age 48) when feelin' blah striking beads wouldn't &nbsp;help at all. Of course, pls. take this with a grain of salt as these are only my 2 cents. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-18th-and-20th-may#post-1494445 Thu, 21 May 2015 09:30:29 +0000 Deb 1494445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope you are feeling better. I'm liking these looks a lot....can we ever go wrong with denim and a great black jacket and booties? Your new blue top suits you....though I'm surprised it is warm enough for short sleeves in NZ. We are needing jumpers and jackets in Melbourne! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-18th-and-20th-may#post-1494387 Thu, 21 May 2015 03:01:33 +0000 carter 1494387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that sea blue on you! So great with your eyes, complexion and hair. I hear you on balancing proportions, especially with curves. I'm not as tall as you, but I bet I have more curves and bumps! I think you're looking great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-18th-and-20th-may#post-1494301 Wed, 20 May 2015 23:39:01 +0000 Angie 1494301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are TALL sister. And you are all legs, you lucky gal. And you always look good.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-18th-and-20th-may#post-1494300 Wed, 20 May 2015 23:34:00 +0000 Sal 1494300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sara, Tanya, Cocolion, Runcarla, Karin for your kind words. &nbsp;It is strange the tricks photography plays with colour - I could have played the blue/cream dress game! &nbsp;And I am trying to add more blue/green to the closet, somehow over the last couple of years I have had added pinks and corals along with a lot of black. &nbsp;In Maori language NZ or Aotearoa means the Land of the Long White Cloud but we all wear black here!! &nbsp;</p> <p>Dixie - the jeans are not sewn down, just rolled. &nbsp;I occasionally wear them full length but more often rolled. &nbsp;I will look at different ways of doing that.</p> <p>Thanks Angie. &nbsp;I am trying to up my styling at the moment. And I am tallish, 5 Ft 8 or about 174 cm, most of it in my legs! &nbsp;Which means proportions are everything because I do have curves and bumps. &nbsp;I am definitely someone who can look like I have a good shape in the right outfit to someone who looks chunky and thick in the wrong one. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-18th-and-20th-may#post-1494050 Wed, 20 May 2015 15:10:51 +0000 Tanya 1494050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfits, both of them!&nbsp; The sea blue is so flattering on you and&nbsp; gorgeous with white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-18th-and-20th-may#post-1494041 Wed, 20 May 2015 14:49:33 +0000 Angie 1494041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look quite deliciously '90s in #1. Suits you to a tee. And the new teal top is gorgeous too. Fab styling.&nbsp;</p> <p>Are you tall Kiwigal?&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-18th-and-20th-may#post-1493993 Wed, 20 May 2015 13:30:47 +0000 Sara L. 1493993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are both great!&nbsp; The blazer and jeans is a good look.&nbsp; I really like your necklace and boots in #2.&nbsp; I have problems with photos too.&nbsp; My DH doesn't have much patience and takes exactly 2 pictures in the morning and I better hope that one of them is decent.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-18th-and-20th-may#post-1493960 Wed, 20 May 2015 10:45:26 +0000 Carla 1493960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blouse under jacket is a classic look. Shot #2, which looks silvery on my monitor, does convey the lovely drape of the top. The blue/green of the second top looks like it could be a signiture colour. Lovely with your colouring and really focuses attention on your eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-18th-and-20th-may#post-1493935 Wed, 20 May 2015 06:29:24 +0000 Dixie 1493935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the color palette of the blue outfit. It reminds me of a peaceful beach.</p> <p>In the first outfit, are the bottom of the pants seamed? My suggestion is to roll them up in a messier way.&nbsp;</p> <p>Get well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-18th-and-20th-may#post-1493926 Wed, 20 May 2015 05:33:14 +0000 CocoLion 1493926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. &nbsp;That's a great black blazer (which looks pale gray in #2 -- the tricks of photography right) and I like the way you've paired it with some rebellious looking rockabilly jeans.</p> <p>The turquoise top with the legging jeans is super flattering, your legs go on for miles in this look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-18th-and-20th-may#post-1493921 Wed, 20 May 2015 05:15:35 +0000 Karin L H 1493921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks! The black and denim works very well together, and the blue in 3/4 is such a lovely colour! Great necklace too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-18th-and-20th-may#post-1493918 Wed, 20 May 2015 05:08:34 +0000 Sal 1493918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Joy. &nbsp;That makes me feel better on a bit of a gloomy day.</p> <p>You are totally right Deborah, a bit of jewelry and/or a brighter lip would lift the black look. &nbsp;I will remember this!! &nbsp;And thanks for the photo tips - your pics are always lovely.</p> <p>Thanks Firecracker, your pics are always clear and easy to see the textures and colours. &nbsp;I think the office is better than the bedroom, and I feel I am getting there. &nbsp;I am not natural in front of the camera at all, but it is helping me to improve proportions in my looks. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-18th-and-20th-may#post-1493910 Wed, 20 May 2015 04:35:11 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1493910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are terrific outfits, Kiwigal--they look super on you! I love the masculine vibe of 1 and the more feminine feel of 2. Your wear both beautifully. The necklace is a great addition to the swing tunic, and I like how it echoes the color of that cool bag. </p> <p>I admire you for making the effort to try different things with your photos. It's a hard process. I keep doing the same old thing!</p> <p>And I hope you feel better soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-18th-and-20th-may#post-1493885 Wed, 20 May 2015 03:36:27 +0000 Deborah 1493885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am pretty sure I am the queen of the demented smile to don't worry, I think you look great:) &nbsp;</p> <p>So, you know I love #1 right? &nbsp;Love that blouse. &nbsp;I adore black on black and black on black with denim is always a winner. &nbsp;I might have a added a nice silver earring?</p> <p>#3 is great to. &nbsp;Simple, modern and elegant. &nbsp;Love the way the boots bookend your hair. &nbsp;They are a lovely tone.</p> <p>I would suggest having your camera at mid check to shoulder height to ensure you capture your proportions more evenly. &nbsp;Practice makes perfect &nbsp;I love seeing your outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-18th-and-20th-may#post-1493884 Wed, 20 May 2015 03:32:51 +0000 Anonymous 1493884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The black looks fab with the blue of your jeans in 2.<br /> I want to steal the pieces in 2. The color and textures are yummy.<br /> 3/4: the sea blue is lovely on you and I shape is wonderful. The white bag and necklace make the blue sing.<br /> I sympathize with trying to take outfit photos, especially when not feeling well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-18th-and-20th-may#post-1493876 Wed, 20 May 2015 03:15:21 +0000 Sal 1493876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is mild here for late Autumn. &nbsp;Today I am wearing the black outfit. &nbsp;The blouse does not show at all in the full body shot, so I took a close up. Funny how the colours show but it is a black jacket, black textured sheer blouse with a silver tank underneath. &nbsp;I suspect I have shown all these pieces in other WIW.</p> <p>The sea blue top and skinnies was worn on Monday. &nbsp;The top is a new one from a NZ designer Ricochet. &nbsp;I plan to wear this as shown, and also with ponte pants and blue slim jeans. &nbsp;It does not pull across the shoulder IRL. &nbsp;The top has a big swing pleat at the back. &nbsp;I loved the colour so purchased it even though it was NOT on the list and I still want jeans and knits.&nbsp;</p> <p>I do struggle with WIW still....in the black outfit I look sulky, in the blue I have a demented smile. &nbsp;I am trying out different angles for the timer camera as you can see and using my office rather than the bedroom as the light is better.</p> <p>I also look washed out as I have been unwell for a few days.</p> <p>The 19th was spent at a rugby tournament feeling sick and my outfit was very much gear!</p> <p>All comments or suggestions are welcome. </p>
