Gorgeous outfit, as always, Lisa. I love the blouse on you and I also suspect that what others have said about the jacket "hiding" it may not be entirely true in real life -- your pose (in order to take the photo) artificially closed it more than it would be closed in motion, standing straight.
I am sorry Mr. L. is not on board with this. You are not alone; a lot of us have had to win our partners over on this one. But maybe there is hope for the future. I am wondering if there might be a way to explain it to him that will make him more understanding.
When I started taking WIW photos, Mr. Suz thought it was ridiculous. Then he got annoyed because I was always asking for a photo. Then he asked me in an irritated way what I was actually doing this for. (This was all over a period of a few months and he was taking my pictures.) I felt silly, and a bit awkward and ashamed. But I also felt annoyed with him because I knew this was actually good for me!
Eventually I got so tired of his attitude that I "hired" my daughter to take photos for me; I'd take her out for lunch or pay her a toonie if she did a few. Meanwhile, they both laughed their heads off at me, mostly in a nice way, but sometimes with a bit of an edge.
Finally, when I could see that DD was getting bored of the photo routine, I asked for a tripod for Christmas. Problem solved.
By then, though, Mr. Suz was totally on board. And even encouraging me to take pictures.
Why? Partly because he saw how my wardrobe was developing and taking shape and he liked that I was looking more fashionable.
Of course, before I came to YLF I literally lived in one pair of jeans and a pair of yoga pants and t-shirts and frumpy cardigans. I was afraid to spend any money on myself and rarely did so. Suddenly I had a better income, and was spending some of it on clothing -- so while Mr. Suz was a bit worried about the $$, I was earning those $$, so in fairness he couldn't say too much (though he did sometimes give me the side-eye.)
It's a bit different for you because you've always had great clothes and a fabulous sense of style.
But my story might be relevant anyway. Because the main reason Mr. Suz backed off on criticizing me was that he saw how much pleasure I got from interacting with the community here. When I told him about the community (vs. the clothes) he suddenly "got it."
This was something he could relate to. Not that he had ever experienced it, but he saw that this community was about personal growth and learning (rather than "vanity"); that it was about sharing an interest (rather than about "showing off"); that it was about getting help, and helping others; that it was about play.
I think it might have been seeing me participate in a few of the challenges or Angie ensembles that really got him to see that. He noticed that I wasn't necessarily buying stuff during or for the challenge; I was trying to come up with combinations from the existing closet and experimenting. I might not be comfortable in an outfit for a whole day (and might take it off right after the photo) but the experimentation was a way to play with style.
Seeing that helped him relax a bit about the $$ and take in how much happier I was with my clothes. So much less angst before events, or even before work...I wasn't always whining that I had nothing to wear; instead I was putting on my clothes and feeling more confident as I went out the door. And that was a huge relief to him over time.
