It is all in the details and you nailed it. The outfit has made the bright blue work in a very sophisticated way. Love it. </p> <p>And might I add that I am getting bruises from kicking myself for not getting that bag when it was available. It is amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-value-of-outfit-photos/page/2#post-1105065 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:38:49 +0000 Ingunn 1105065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How interesting!

That deep sky blue was made for you, you glow in that color, and of course you look great in black, no surprise to me there. </p> <p>Thanks for taking us on the journey of how this outfit was crafted. I always heard more tassels was better, but that was in stripper school, so it might not apply to regular daytime life. I think you made the right choice.</p> <p>All the best to the Mister. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-value-of-outfit-photos#post-1104549 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 18:24:09 +0000 Marley 1104549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Everyone - so sorry that I did a "post and run" yesterday.&nbsp; I thought that I'd have time to get back to it last night - but I was just too tired.&nbsp; DH appears to be OK now - he's had several minor heart attacks in the past, so it's always scary when he gets heart related symptoms.&nbsp; I still don't feel completely satisfied with how they treated him this week - but, it was basically his choice, not mine - so, I've just got to let it drop and stop worrying about him.<br />As far as my outfit goes, you guys are so kind.&nbsp; On the Happiness Scale I rated this one a 6 - but that may be influenced by what I was dealing with yesterday.&nbsp; Whatever it was, I don't think I'll be wearing this particular combination again.&nbsp; I thought that the hoodie/blazer combo was so easy - but, I'm learning that it really takes some thought to make it look right!&nbsp; Oh well, on to the next outfit!&nbsp; Again, thank you everyone for your kind words and warm wishes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-value-of-outfit-photos#post-1104531 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 18:06:27 +0000 LAR101 1104531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting. &nbsp;It's so helpful to see how you worked through this outfit to the final choice.<br />I like the blue sleeves poking out. &nbsp;It's the bookending thing; &nbsp;adds interest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-value-of-outfit-photos#post-1104223 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 07:11:31 +0000 rae 1104223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this, Marley! *waving at the hoodie*</p> <p>You are so right that the camera works wonders - I realllly wish I had taken a photo before leaving the house today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-value-of-outfit-photos#post-1104202 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 06:31:31 +0000 AJ 1104202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful example that illustrates how small details can make such a difference! Also a great reminder to do a test trial when trying new combinations. That's such a pretty blue on you! </p> <p>So happy to know Mr. Marley is getting better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-value-of-outfit-photos#post-1104162 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 04:30:43 +0000 Vicki 1104162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marley, you really showed the power of photos and how every picture tells a story. &nbsp;What a great idea to trim away the tassels and I can see how&nbsp;the jacket change made a difference in the way you felt about the final version of your outfit. &nbsp;I didn't even notice the twisty nature of the top.</p> <p>I do hope Mr. Marley is doing better and my thoughts are with you. &nbsp;I would never have imagined you were dealing with so much, because you look really beautiful and marvelous and that hoodie is a great color on you as it matches your gorgeous eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-value-of-outfit-photos#post-1104160 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 04:28:02 +0000 Vix 1104160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Marley --</p> <p>Always great to see your careful selections -- just sorry to hear about Mr M! Hope he's recovering nicely.</p> <p>Great call to remove the tassels. I think the V of the neckline kept the blue/black from looking *quite* as boxy as you thought it did, but no doubt the final look was sharp as the proverbial tack! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-value-of-outfit-photos#post-1104148 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 04:15:52 +0000 Anonymous 1104148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outfit is so cool and I enjoyed your narrative on how you edited it with pics! Hope all is well with your husband's health. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-value-of-outfit-photos#post-1104112 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 03:23:53 +0000 Neel 1104112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad that Mr. Marley is doing better. Its scary when DH's need medical attention.</p> <p>You look wonderful in the final outfit pic. That blue is a great color on you. And I couldn't agree more that taking outfit pics puts a lot of things under perspective! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-value-of-outfit-photos#post-1104106 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 03:13:54 +0000 Gracie 1104106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brilliant idea to remove the tassels! Much less fussiness. I often try a cropped jacket like #4, and it never looks good on me with a longer and fitted top or with a blouse tucked into jeans. How have you worn your cropped jacket that you think was successful? The longer jacket is perfect in 1/2 and the blue looks glorious in you.</p> <p>I'm glad Mr Marley is on the mend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-value-of-outfit-photos#post-1104097 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 02:56:31 +0000 Anonymous 1104097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great in all of these, but it's fun to see the evolution. It's interesting how the tassels suddenly look busy and awkward compared with the detassled version, yet I probably wouldn't have even noticed them if you had just posted #4-5 and hadn't mentioned them as an issue. </p> <p>And I'm glad Mr. Marley is doing better!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-value-of-outfit-photos#post-1104095 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 02:55:51 +0000 CocoLion 1104095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the final version! &nbsp;I think you did right&nbsp;in removing the tassels.</p> <p>Isn't it strange how we see things so much better in a picture? &nbsp;Must be some feature of the eyes/brain seeing selectively. &nbsp;I wish I could train myself to see like a picture, because it's time consuming to dress by way of photograph. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-value-of-outfit-photos#post-1104068 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 02:35:35 +0000 Janet 1104068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto to everything Diana said. I loved that blue on you in the store, and I'm glad you got it! </p> <p>I hope Mr Marley is feeling better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-value-of-outfit-photos#post-1104065 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 02:31:43 +0000 Jaime 1104065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well your fail is only apparent because your win is such an improvement, but great lesson! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-value-of-outfit-photos#post-1104055 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 02:26:24 +0000 Diana 1104055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I think even the "fail" version is pretty good, but the final version is absolutely amazing! &nbsp;It's really incredible what tweaking a couple of little details can do for an outfit. &nbsp;I think the leopard booties just make the outfit. &nbsp;</p> <p>Glad to hear that Mr. Marley is on the mend. &nbsp;What a scary experience that must have been! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-value-of-outfit-photos#post-1104051 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 02:22:27 +0000 carambola 1104051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the final outfit! So sharp and modern. That blue is beautiful on you. It's so instructive to see all the different versions, so thanks for posting all of these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-value-of-outfit-photos#post-1104043 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 02:16:43 +0000 Deborah 1104043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dont you love the way photos are so revealing and highlight so much.&nbsp; Removing the tassles is such a small thing but makes such a difference.&nbsp; I love #1/2, you look very cool.&nbsp; And I am glad Mr Marley is ok. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-value-of-outfit-photos#post-1104040 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 02:13:44 +0000 Gigi 1104040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marley, I aspire to look even like your "fail" outfits. Even those are fab in my book! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-value-of-outfit-photos#post-1104039 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 02:13:31 +0000 Sveta 1104039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am happy Mr. Marley is OK, sending him healing vibes galore!<br />First of all that sky blue color is amazing on you, wow!<br />I concur how useful taking pictures is. Unfortunately I take them in the evening so if it was a major fail it is too late but at least I can learn for the next time.<br />I think that longer line jacket works better with the skinnies and your final version is just perfect. The booties and jacket lining is a perfect bookending and that awesome bag just shines everywhere it goes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-value-of-outfit-photos#post-1104037 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 02:13:28 +0000 Angie 1104037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Removing the tassels was a great idea. You look fab in #1. Not a fail at all, Marley. A great look on you.&nbsp;Sending healing thoughts to hubs. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-value-of-outfit-photos#post-1104032 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 02:09:04 +0000 Karie 1104032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic, even in outfit #5!&nbsp;Yes, taking outfit pics is so helpful. I take a quick outfit pic every morning, but I need to allow time to check the pic before I leave for work. A few days ago&nbsp;I felt frumpy all day, got home from work and looked at my outfit pic and went e<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.....I">http://www.....I</a>&nbsp;was on the express train to frumpville!</p> <p>Now I'm off to set my alarm clock... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-value-of-outfit-photos#post-1104003 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 01:37:42 +0000 K. Period. 1104003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marley, I'm glad that Mr. M. is doing better. &nbsp;</p> <p>I know what you mean about the outfit photos. They really do show you things that you aren't seeing by just looking in the mirror. &nbsp;Sometimes they reveal that an outfit is working much better than you think. &nbsp;Other times they show you why something just doesn't feel right. &nbsp;I have been amazed by how much it helps to photograph and post outfits! &nbsp;</p> <p>You look lovely and I'm glad that your photo helped you pinpoint what was bothering you.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-value-of-outfit-photos#post-1103992 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 01:28:17 +0000 Mo 1103992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yes, photos are invaluable. &nbsp;I watch Fashion Police and notice lately they comment that celebrities should be taking a quick phone pic before hitting the red carpet. &nbsp;They would catch a lot of the wardrobe malfunctions that end up on the show.</p> <p>I like your blue with leopard touches! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-value-of-outfit-photos#post-1103990 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 01:26:46 +0000 Suz 1103990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marley, you couldn't look frumpy if your life depended on it! You always look amazing. But I completely concur that looking at the pictures is so helpful. I have had that same experience of feeling frumpy in an outfit and not understanding why - and usually it is small details like the ones you mention. And once those are taken care of you can just forget about the clothes and get on with your day. In your case, it was a *big* day with worries about Mr. M. I am so glad he is doing better. And i love your outfit! You look spectacular in that blue hoodie.&nbsp; </p>
