This is the best forum for positive vibes. AJ, thanks for the heads-up on the ruffled sleeves. I rarely wear ruffles, so this is not a typical look for me. </p> <p>You know, I've realized it is so hard for me to tell what looks dated in Alaska. People often ask me what the time difference here is and I'll say, "oh, we're about 15 years behind". No joke. Women here still wear those high-waisted pleated Lee jeans from the 80s, and not in an ironic way. It's nice that people don't judge on what you look like, but it can also be a major fashion challenge when you're "current" and no one appreciates it! That's one of the reasons I love it here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-testing#post-230803 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 14:01:01 +0000 MNsara 230803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AG, you look adorable! I love the leopard and black - a favorite theme of mine ;-)</p> <p>I am envious of slim legs, so enjoy them for me!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-testing#post-230802 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 14:00:36 +0000 Jonesy 230802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great to see you :)! I love your boots--they look like they fit perfectly. It's kind of hard to see the details on the rest of your outfit, but it looks like the proportions are really great! Congrats for your first WIW post! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-testing#post-230736 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 11:39:07 +0000 Queen Mum 230736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! This outfit is perfect from head to toe. Simple yet stylish and edgy.

It sure is a scary thing to do for the first time, isn't it? Whenever I post a WIW, half the time I read replies half squinting, because I'm unsure of what the consensus will be. Still, I'm finding it really fun to go on a style journey, even if it is sometimes a bumpy ride!</p> <p>Your outfit is lovely. You have wonderful legs and fabulous, shiny hair, you lucky thing! </p> <p>[PS - Just read your second comment. Bow-legged? Pffffffffffft. Time to re-evaluate yourself, 'cause that is certainly not what I am seeing on the other side of the world!] </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-testing#post-230665 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 06:46:24 +0000 AJ 230665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well hello there, AG! What's there not to like about this outfit? Leopard print is a nice scale and not overpowering. Black sheath is a classic basic. Sunnies, boots and tights add the hotness factor. : )</p> <p>My only tiny critique is the ruffles at the end of the sleeve. It might date your blouse just a small bit. However, I don't think it ruins the outfit at all and that should be an easy alteration if you feel it needs to be changed.</p> <p>So glad you finally decided to join the posting party! Keep those pics coming! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-testing#post-230660 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 06:23:08 +0000 Lena 230660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! It's great to see you posting outfits, Alaskagirl! I can't add anything, I think you look terrific And yes, fab hairstyle! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-testing#post-230546 Tue, 12 Oct 2010 01:07:02 +0000 jen321 230546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa and Sparky- thank you so much for the help! I think you are right sparky I have to be an "active member" first! =) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-testing#post-230467 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 23:29:18 +0000 Becky 230467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this outfit! I think the skirt is just perfect since you have tights on. Your hair is fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-testing#post-230395 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 21:10:58 +0000 MsMary 230395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice to see you, AG! You look great -- I don't think the skirt is too short at all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-testing#post-230351 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 19:58:07 +0000 shana 230351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AG, you look great! I think the tights &amp; boots work to counteract the effect of the short skirt! Love your hair too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-testing#post-230348 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 19:56:18 +0000 Scarlet 230348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-testing#post-230346 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 19:54:13 +0000 Anonymous 230346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great!<br /> I couldn't wait to see the night light growing out of your leg! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-testing#post-230333 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 19:41:05 +0000 Sparky 230333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AG, you look FAB! Fantastic outfit and you look terrific. I'm jealous of your great legs! The dress doesn't look too short to me; how does it feel when you sit down? </p> <p>Jen321, I believe that once you reach active member status, you will be able to post pictures when you create a post. I think that with member status, you can still post pictures, but you need to make a post then go back in to edit it, and during the editing you are allowed to post pics. Hope that helps (and that it makes sense!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-testing#post-230328 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 19:38:01 +0000 catgirl 230328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lady, the sunglasses help me feel less dorky in front of the camera... There is absolutely NO need for them today weather-wise! </p> <p>Re: legs: I am somewhat knock-kneed (or bowlegged), which makes me self-conscious, so thank you all for the warm and confidence-boosting words! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-testing#post-230316 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 19:26:50 +0000 lady 230316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look Alaskagirl! i feel that the black tights are giving you plenty of coverage with the tall boots. so even though the skirt is a touch short (for, say, work) you are saving the day by not showing actual skin. the v of the blouse is also keeping the closed neckline from making you look to stodgy. good balance overall.</p> <p>i love this haircut on you! time to update the avatar, no? (says the lady whose avatar is her dog, lol) i'm planning to take my picture after work. i have no time in the morning for that. maybe i'll try it with sunglasses. you guys look so chic in your sunglass indoors pics. lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-testing#post-230312 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 19:24:00 +0000 Tanya 230312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, a photo from AG! It is nice to "see" you. You have awesome legs and I love your haircut. That outfit is great. The blouse has just the right length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-testing#post-230310 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 19:22:32 +0000 chellebrate 230310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your outfit a lot! I don't think the dress is too short, especially since you have tights on.</p> <p>I might add some gold jewelery like a long necklace and/or earrings to polish it off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-testing#post-230290 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 19:11:50 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 230290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a cool look! So pleased to see you posting a WIW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-testing#post-230285 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 19:07:56 +0000 Lisa 230285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>alaskagirl-You (and your legs) look great. </p> <p>jen321-From the forum select "start a new conversation" Underneath the Category pull down menu and above the submit button is a box with text that says add a photo. When you put the cursor over it, it turns pink. Click the box and a pop up appears for you to select where to access the photo from (desktop etc) Hope that helps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-testing#post-230251 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 18:12:58 +0000 jen321 230251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for replying! I'm feeling dumb here, but there isn't that button. I clicked on start a conversation, and after where you write it only says submit. Sorry to go off topic here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-testing#post-230248 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 18:09:39 +0000 catgirl 230248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jen, there's a really easy thing to click on when you start a post or reply, that says "add a photo", just below where you write your text. The hard part for me is taking the picture and then uploading. I uploaded directly from the camera to save time. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-testing#post-230244 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 18:05:12 +0000 jen321 230244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>New here! I think the outfit looks cute, and you shouldn't be afraid to show of your legs! They look great in skirts. Can I ask a question? How do you post a picture? Trying to do it right now! Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-testing#post-230229 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 17:49:45 +0000 Angie 230229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well aren't you fabulous, AG! Good job posting and keep treating us with your fantastic outfits. You have super legs and I LOVE your hair </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-testing#post-230226 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 17:47:25 +0000 Marley 230226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AG - it's working! Love the simple but edginess to this outfit. Your legs are GREAT - not chicken-like at all! Also, gotta luv the sunglasses - especially since its raining! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-testing#post-230222 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 17:44:43 +0000 kellygirl 230222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How cute are you! Great outfit. Simple and stylish with some edge. Love the boots. I like it with tights but you could also go with a less opaque hose. So good to finally "see" you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-testing#post-230221 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 17:42:49 +0000 Barbara 230221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's perfect! Your legs are fab, love the leopard shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-picture-testing#post-230219 Mon, 11 Oct 2010 17:39:02 +0000 catgirl 230219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I had time this morning to see if I could figure out where and how to take quick outfit photos. Here's the result from today. I'm wearing a leopard print ruffled shirt over a black sheath dress, brown wool tights, and my all-purpose Rockporrt black boots, because it's raining. Is the dress too short? I feel like my chicken legs are showing! And that's a nightlight growing out of my left calf. :)</p> <p>ETA: Honesty welcomed. I'm nervous about my first WIW, but I'm also looking forward to constructive criticism! </p>
