I think I can copy cat you. Oh yay! Hehe. But I got some cutout booties - except they're blue-grey - and have a mesh top tee too. The jeans will be harder... no bfs for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1/page/2#post-1017087 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 18:09:08 +0000 ccdjane 1017087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marley, Marley, you are my newest Hero/Role Model!!! I, too, am over 60 but still work hard to look good and feel good.&nbsp; I am about your size (based on your pix) but wow, what arms you have!!!&nbsp; I've lusted after the ripped BF jeans, but feared I'd be judged for trying to look young.&nbsp; Well, now I'm convinced...If I can look as good as you, I will have them!&nbsp; I love your entire look, and can't really add any praise that hasn't already been heaped (deservedly!!) upon you.<br />You go girl!&nbsp; I've not had the nerve to do a WIW as I've only joined the forum a few weeks ago, but I think I'd like to run one by the group.&nbsp; Thanks for the inspiration!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1/page/2#post-1016745 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 12:28:30 +0000 pil 1016745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nothing new to add, but just wanted to say how fabulous you look in this Marley. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1/page/2#post-1016732 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 12:07:16 +0000 AnnieMouse 1016732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! You look so, SO great! And I am super jealous of your Everlys :D</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1/page/2#post-1013205 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 00:08:22 +0000 Vicki 1013205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look at you in this sassy and stylish white and silver look. I love the way you ask the question and then announce your disregard. You're funny! You look lovely in this white brilliance. Either shoe is fab and I'm in favor of the sandals simply because it's summer. </p> <p>That's why you can pull off any of these styles, because you know how to put it together and you have the confidence and attitude. </p> <p>Love your asymmetrical haircut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1/page/2#post-1012840 Sat, 24 Aug 2013 11:36:01 +0000 Deborah 1012840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marley, 60 has never looked so good! You are a beautiful and stylish woman and never would I have guessed your age:). I love your outfit with the sandals, it's modern, trendy and in no way age inappropriate. I adore the booties (am after something similar) and I do think they work also but maybe not quite as well as the sandals:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1/page/2#post-1012834 Sat, 24 Aug 2013 11:22:39 +0000 Vickie KY 1012834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the sandals. It goes with the lightness of the top. I like the boots but feel it needs a top with more substance. You are a gorgeous 60.<br />Vickie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1#post-1012766 Sat, 24 Aug 2013 04:06:50 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1012766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marley, it's great to see your post. You look terrific in this outfit. Even though my comments will echo others here, I'll add them anyway, just because! The distressed jeans suit your style; your haircut has edge, and so dressing with edge is totally congruent, in my view. I love the pretty sandals with the light and floaty looking top. I also love the airy booties for the bit of toughness they add to the outfit. I like the shorter roll better. The necklace works better than a long one might, I think, but I wonder if you could fasten it just a little bit shorter, so the pendant clears the edge of the scoop neck a little more. I love the polish of the clutch with this look, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1#post-1012657 Sat, 24 Aug 2013 00:29:36 +0000 Caro in Oz 1012657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you Marley &amp; I love what Angie said - it is to do with personality NOT age. YLF - your hair looks amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1#post-1012356 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 16:03:25 +0000 AviaMariah 1012356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Over 60? &nbsp;I just about fell off my chair. &nbsp;I would never have guessed. &nbsp;I am blown away by #4. &nbsp;LOVE those JC boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1#post-1012295 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 15:30:19 +0000 Lisa 1012295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think age is a factor for this or any outfit.&nbsp; It's all about fit and personality and I think thees fit nicely and work with your personal style.&nbsp; I like both shoes but prefer the booties, but I am a boot gal anyway.&nbsp; These soft colors are lovely on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1#post-1012260 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 15:02:34 +0000 texstyle 1012260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look on you - it seems appropriate and fun and stylish. Both shoes are so fab you could easily go either way but I have a slight preference for the boot style with the tough jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1#post-1012247 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 14:44:24 +0000 Marley 1012247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann - you are so right - we really do need to see different visions of "appropriate" dressing from all ages of women - and, like Angie's example in her comments (about how distressed jeans would not work on her - a 40 something women)&nbsp; "appropriate" dressing has as much to do with personal style as it does with age and environment!&nbsp;&nbsp; It would be good to explore that more!&nbsp; Gotta' run now - but will be thinking about this and may pop back in later!&nbsp; And Beth - thank you!<br />And - Rae - I knew that you'd know exactly where those jeans should be rolled (you're soooo good!) - and thanks Ingunn for your confirmation that this outfit works for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1#post-1011991 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 05:46:56 +0000 Ingunn 1011991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Initially I would think that distressed jeans would look a bit off, but your photos prove me SO wrong! You look sensational, and very hic. I love both pairs of shoes and all your accessorizing. You look fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1#post-1011980 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 05:01:34 +0000 Beth Ann 1011980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in agreement with Angie and most of the others regarding your styling questions, but I wanted to pop in and say that I need to see different visions of "appropriate" dressing in women my age and older, and indeed, of all ages.&nbsp; It seems to me that personal style is everybit as key as environmental expectations.&nbsp; Even though we have very different bodies and styles, I learn about what is possible from your beautiful posts.&nbsp; </p> <p>You look amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1#post-1011972 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 04:56:15 +0000 rae 1011972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Higher roll, either shoe, NOT inappropriate! With your sass, I think you can pull off most anything. Especially when the fit of these items are nice and fluid and elegant, rather than tight and teenybopperish, if that makes sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1#post-1011961 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 04:42:38 +0000 In My Joi 1011961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look on you Marley!! I hope to look as fabulous when I am over 60!<br /><div>1) I think generally I wouldn't think so, but the way you have styled them knocks my socks off</div><div>3) I love the white booties with it, it is edgy and trendy</div><div>4) The neckline looks perfect to me</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1#post-1011958 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 04:34:01 +0000 cciele 1011958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love everything about these looks, Marley. Totally suits your edgy persona, and the muted tones are very sophisticated. And I'm really liking the Everly's in white! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1#post-1011952 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 04:20:22 +0000 Debbie 1011952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marley I love this look on you! I think it fits you perfectly. I love those boots.<br /> Have your husband forget the camera more often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1#post-1011944 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 03:58:28 +0000 Marley 1011944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey Everyone!&nbsp; Thank you so much for all of your nice comments!&nbsp; And, for giving me "permission" to wear the distressed jeans&nbsp; ;-)&nbsp;&nbsp; Also, Angie - thank you for explaining why this outfit works for me - I sort of knew, instincitively why it did - but you put it into words so nicely, that now I can actually verbalize it when trying to put outfits together.&nbsp; And, you are right - this perfectly captures my persona - and that's why I feel so comfy in it.&nbsp; I just wish that I had a little bit of your strict and neat genes, because sometimes I go over the edge of RATE and its not pretty!<br />So, thank you again everyone for your feedback.&nbsp; It feels nice to be back on the "WIW Circuit!"&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1#post-1011862 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 02:21:06 +0000 Jaime 1011862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie and everyone put it so well. These jeans are not in the least inappropriate on you - 60 year old Marley wears them perfectly. Agree that both shoes are fantastic, the necklace works and you look all around wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1#post-1011853 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 02:14:23 +0000 Kari 1011853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie said it beautifully, but I think that the jeans are absolutely appropriate. They work with your style, and I love the pairing of the jeans and the dressier but still slouchy blouse.&nbsp;I like the jeans worn at the more cropped length. &nbsp;Such a fresh and beautiful outfit, and I'm very glad that you stopped by to post again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1#post-1011828 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 01:41:13 +0000 catgirl 1011828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marley, I am speechless. You are so fab and I'm in awe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1#post-1011808 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 01:26:39 +0000 kellygirl 1011808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You must have DH forget the camera more often. These are fab looks--both with sandals and boots. I'm wearing my light wash ripped jeans today too but I don't look nearly as fab. LOVE your WIW's! &nbsp;Totally age appropriate too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1#post-1011802 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 01:18:46 +0000 Suz 1011802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Marley, you made me sigh with delight. I just <b>ADORE</b> you in both versions of this look (booties and sandals). Far from being "inappropriate," it is absolutely right for you and perfectly expressive of your personal style. Tough, yet pretty. Current. In the know. And also comfortable, practical, easy to wear. Unpretentious.&nbsp;</p> <p>To me, you're showcasing in a perfect way how a woman over 60 can be age-appropriate <b>AND </b>completely on trend. As Angie says, your jeans may be distressed, but your overall outfit is covered, modest, and fresh rather than heavy. You glow.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the pants rolled shorter to showcase the footwear. I like both footwear options equally for different purposes. I like the necklace this length - or not at all.&nbsp;</p> <p>YLF!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1#post-1011782 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 01:04:11 +0000 Krista 1011782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such an awesome outfit, Marley! It is not inappropriate AT ALL, it is 100% fab. I prefer the length in #3, I love it with the sandals, but the booties are good too. The necklace is a very nice addition. Y.L.F!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1#post-1011776 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 00:54:46 +0000 JulieJohn 1011776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't care for really distressed stuff on anyone. That said, I think you wear this beautifully for your age or any age. Your hairdo is so fresh and rocker cool! The shoes I prefer are the booties, which are drop dead fab. What a creative idea to buckle two belts together. You are chic and ageless, and you always will be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1#post-1011763 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 00:38:14 +0000 Jules 1011763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you kidding? You look freaking amazing. Haven't seen any of your WIWs that I can recall, love your style here. This 39 yo is going to need to seriously upgrade my faded/distressed BF looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1#post-1011760 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 00:35:27 +0000 FlorenceFearne 1011760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honesty, full speed ahead.&nbsp;</p> <p>1) I don't think distressed jeans are inappropriate, especially since your style generally is a little edgier and that makes them&nbsp;look deliberate.</p> <p>2) I prefer the shorter length, as the jeans are a loose fit and the higher cuff shows off your slender ankles and gives you shape.&nbsp;</p> <p>3) Sandals are definitely more traditionally "pretty" as they accentuate the aforementioned slender ankles, but the boots are great also.&nbsp;</p> <p>4) I think short necklace is a good call since you already have added interest lower down with the metallic belts.&nbsp;</p> <p>All that said, I do not love this specific wash of denim. I saw a lot of it growing up, and no matter how many times it comes back, I just cannot love it. You look lovely, every single other thing about this is a 10, but I have a personal dislike for light denim. Still, I don't think there's any reason to believe that anyone else feels that way; Angie is the resident expert, and had no such criticism.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-1#post-1011754 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 00:28:10 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1011754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You wear these jeans with panache Marley and they look fab on you. Absolutely LOVE the look in pic #4. </p>
