The real life choices of items, why they worked, why they didn't work and the end result was riveting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits/page/2#post-380060 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 15:59:12 +0000 StacyJo 380060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Results of my experiment: Overall, I think this experiment with my wardrobe came off rather well. Freckles pointed out that it may work better in cooler seasons and I agree. Also, since I'm not in an office anymore at the moment, the capsule was leaning more to polished casual. Will I continue this method of dressing (MOS) - yes. Is it easier to do if you are in an office environment - I think so. Was it FUN? Absolutely!!! </p> <p>Ended up not wearing the skirt at all as well as some of my shoes. Our weather was a little wacky throughout June, so what I did end up wearing most were the jeans, the knit tops and scarves, when I was not out on customers' sites helping the hubster. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits/page/2#post-373249 Sat, 25 Jun 2011 17:48:19 +0000 StacyJo 373249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Freckles, you have a very good point there. I think with the transition hubster and I are going through (working together and me launching my own side business), it's been hit or miss. However, I will say that the capsule itself is working fine, it's mainly been a matter of switching gears at the last minute because there is no way I'd wear these clothes working on a job site (dust, dirt, sweat, etc). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits/page/2#post-372979 Sat, 25 Jun 2011 00:55:49 +0000 Freckles 372979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to hear it hasn't been going well re work rotation. Sounds like your rescued pup is a fireball. My dog is almost at the end of her life and they sure change over their lifetimes from fireball to prone statue don't they?</p> <p>For me I think this idea of yours would work better in the dead of winter. Not so many temperature changes then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits/page/2#post-372645 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 16:24:40 +0000 Isabel 372645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>StacyJo, what a generous and kind offer, thank you !</p> <p>I also LOVE my sleep time, that about clinches it for me ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits/page/2#post-372641 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 16:21:32 +0000 StacyJo 372641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isabel, would love to work with you on this if and when you decide to take the plunge...it is actually quite fun and saves time in the morning. (A big thing with me...as I LOVE my sleep time LOL). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits/page/2#post-372629 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 16:03:42 +0000 Isabel 372629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like yellowgirl, I am strangely attracted to this concept. I like your self-imposed austerity. I cannot bring myself do it because I fear "needing" something. As if I couldn't run for my wool sweater if it went down to 30 degrees in July ! ; )</p> <p>I don't think that I could do 10, maybe 30 - though I am overwhelmed by the amount of clothes that I have and I love it all ( as a result of YLF ) that I don't know if I could actually choose something. Dressing is also the only thing that I really do for me without years of planning and a lawyer........... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits/page/2#post-372616 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 15:52:20 +0000 StacyJo 372616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Update: The experiment is going well I think. However, over the last week (again), not many occassions to rotate my capsule due to working with the hubster (work jeans, hiking boots, t-shirt and sun hat - I will not inflict gnashing of teeth with photos of those outfits ). I think going into this last week, I'll be able to use it more. Also, rescued a cutie chihuahua and have been working with him on commands, shoring up the fence in the back yard. Once I get him to um, stop bouncing around like an energizer bunny, I'll post a photo of our little brainiac </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits/page/2#post-366997 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 05:58:30 +0000 fathenry 366997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so impressed that you're still doing this. I hope it's going well and you'll post more photos soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits/page/2#post-366924 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 02:21:17 +0000 Freckles 366924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loved your last pic update! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits/page/2#post-366608 Tue, 14 Jun 2011 17:31:12 +0000 StacyJo 366608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hadn't had many occassions to use my capsule over the past 6 days. I've been helping hubster with a project, got a new four legged member of the family, and have been studying for the landscaper license. However, today, hubster and I are going to meet some potential new clients, take yard measurements and discuss what they want to do with their backyard. So I am thinking that since it is sunny and warm finally, I will be going to the meet up in the denim pants, indigo blouse, B&amp;W scarf, beige jacket, boots and red purse. Comfy enough to take measurements yet professional enough for meeting people. Will take photo later on how it turned out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits/page/2#post-363173 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 17:37:54 +0000 cheryl 363173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Way to go. I love reading stories like this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits/page/2#post-363095 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 15:54:45 +0000 StacyJo 363095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE that scarf! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! And your outfit - looks like that would be a great airflight outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits/page/2#post-362880 Wed, 08 Jun 2011 03:41:11 +0000 Carole 362880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>StacyJo-I got the black and white sleeveless top at Kohl's. </p> <p>I wore a top similar to the top shown here. It was Trouve from Nordstrom with a sleeveless tank underneath, my Michael Kors zippered leggings, metallic Born Lovely flats and my favorite scarf (that I wore to death on my trip) from Kohl's by Vera Wang. I also wore my black trench to save it from being wrinkled to death in the suitcase. I actually was wearing this scarf heading out for the day on our trip to Paris and a women in front of us on the sidewalk was wearing the exact same scarf. What are the chances of that?!? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits/page/2#post-362728 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 22:48:05 +0000 StacyJo 362728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is today's outfit. Thinking I should have worn a cami underneath, but then I didn't take off my trench (black one) while running errands. Sorry about the photo quality...I was using my phone camera. Jeans, white button down top, "hermes-like" scarf, black trench, driving shoes, beige purse. (and my reading glasses, forgot to take them off)! I like the concept of this outfit more than the actual result. But then that may be a body issue ;-)</p> <p>OK, back to fixing the loo seat...hate it when they get loose! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits/page/2#post-362570 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 15:56:07 +0000 Freckles 362570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the concept. I think you've chosen excellent pieces to make this happen, have fun with it! It's interesting to see the thread develop and anxiously awaiting updates. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits/page/2#post-362568 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 15:55:45 +0000 StacyJo 362568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carole I love your capsule - I especially like that B&amp;W print top! Having the photos does help and with our trip to Cape Hatteras in late August, I'll be able to pack in a New York minute I love scarves because they can change an outfit so quickly and inexpensively. </p> <p>What did you wear on the plane? That is the part I am struggling with currently. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits#post-362550 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 15:37:44 +0000 Carole 362550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have always loved these challenges, I'm not sure why because it is difficult, but it is fun forcing the creativity to come out. I recently put together a capsule for spring/summer/travel specifically for a trip that you might find interesting.</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pheww-my-springsummer-capsule-is-ready" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....e-is-ready</a></p> <p> I had such compulsive fun putting it together and had way over the ten items you are limiting yourself to. It's nice to have all the photo's now so that I don't forget what I put together.</p> <p>I love seeing your photos and you have some great pieces to work with. I really love all the scarves too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits#post-362545 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 15:20:41 +0000 StacyJo 362545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, after 4 days of mainly being in work clothes (helping hubby and part time job) its Tuesday. Rather drap, cold and drizzly day here in Oakland. Definitly a jeans kind of day with my black trench (not shown yet). Hard to believe it's June, feels more like January. I evny you all who are basking in sun! So are my tomato plants :-)</p> <p>Fathenry - thank you for your compliment - I'm digging that color combo right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits#post-360619 Fri, 03 Jun 2011 04:14:32 +0000 fathenry 360619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that you combined the teal shirt with the red bag. Good idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits#post-360375 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 21:14:11 +0000 Mo 360375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I looked back at my travel capsule for a 4 day trip and I couldn't even limit that to 10 lol! This will be vicarious fun for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits#post-360370 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 20:53:47 +0000 StacyJo 360370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lynne - great! An of course, doggie walking clothes are separate. Would love to see your capsule. I really like the scarf #1 as well. It says "Hermes Paris" but it's not (the edging is not hand finished, but a nicely done machine stitch - I picked it up at a consignment shop in Oakland). </p> <p>Tomorrow is a pickle for my outfit. I'm going to do measurements on a potential client's property, picking up a rear end for our '62 Ranchero truck (could get greasy) and doing a small repair on another client's patio requiring a lovely mixture of mortar and glue. Ideally, I'd want to go with 6, 2 and 8 but I'm thinking it will be work jeans, hiking boots, outdoor jacket and a t-shirt...but I could get away with scarf #1 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits#post-360368 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 20:44:20 +0000 Lynne 360368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stacy Jo, I cannot wait to see that first scarf in action - what beautiful colours! I can see it being a great 'mixer'. I might join you in your 10 item challenge, with the caveat that dog-walking clothes are separate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits#post-360317 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 18:56:03 +0000 StacyJo 360317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Modgrl, I use these for almost all my activities except for my part time job and if I have to measure a landscape area for my DH (work jeans) and lounging/sleep wear. If we had children, then it may be difficult to do this (we don't ;-( ). No pets of yet (we're looking for a chihauhau or rat terrier to add to our household. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits#post-360314 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 18:53:59 +0000 biscuitsmom 360314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job! Good luck on it.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits#post-360312 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 18:51:40 +0000 StacyJo 360312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scarves - photos aren't great, but you'll get the idea. I have more than these 4, but in the interest of my experiment, I'm keeping to these for most of the time. (I love scarves!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits#post-360307 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 18:47:55 +0000 modgrl 360307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great idea but do you count your at home, lounge and on the go clothes? I feel like I go through 10 items of clothing each day between work, OTG with kids, and then at home lounging with the dogs. I would have a difficult time making this work. I like the idea of having 10 perfect items of clothing that can be mixed and matched though. I think others who have done 6 items or less didn't count outerwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits#post-360306 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 18:47:29 +0000 StacyJo 360306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shoes - not included are my work shoes for part time job, running shoes and hiking boots </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits#post-360304 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 18:46:23 +0000 StacyJo 360304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Handbags in rotation - </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10-clothing-items-multiple-outfits#post-360300 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 18:40:41 +0000 StacyJo 360300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>June 2, 2011 outfit - not loving how my upper arms came out, but c'est la vie.... </p>
