It seems like a lot of variety too. Great experiment and if it makes dressing easier then that's even better.</p> <p>Sorry to hear about Covid returning to NZ, I hadn't heard that.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10x10-capsule---final-week#post-2138885 Sun, 16 Aug 2020 12:23:32 +0000 Helena 2138885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echoing Jenn and Shevia ... You don't LOOK a bit restricted and I like how your 10x10 totally shatters the idea that a capsule must necessarily be all neutral and repetitive. Great job Sal and here's to little challenges that let us have fun with fashion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10x10-capsule---final-week#post-2138850 Sun, 16 Aug 2020 02:52:13 +0000 Jaime 2138850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are the silhouette queen! Excellent outfits regadless of capsule restrictions, but all the more impressive because of them. I am sure it is disappointing to have some restrictions back, but at least you know your government is taking all the right steps to beat it back.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10x10-capsule---final-week#post-2138809 Sat, 15 Aug 2020 20:38:52 +0000 Sal 2138809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Minaminu - I really enjoy warm camel.</p> <p>Brooklyn- I won’t give up black! I was thinking I would experiment for one week. I prefer the crops with the boots too - I try not to let flattery guide me too much but I feel crops with white sneakers is not that flattering at all. After reading the midi skirt guide I think a lower vamp or lower contrast would be better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10x10-capsule---final-week#post-2138669 Sat, 15 Aug 2020 11:56:39 +0000 Brooklyn 2138669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No black? Noooooo! I think I’m the opposite. Gravitating to it more than ever in these times.</p> <p>I think all your outfits are great. I love the crops but especially with the boots. I like the way they close the gap. </p> <p>Hang in there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10x10-capsule---final-week#post-2138652 Sat, 15 Aug 2020 08:03:59 +0000 Sal 2138652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks MSMaven- I adore that scarf -- it brings together all my favourite colours at the moment.</p> <p>Thanks Jenn - I hope so but it will be interesting to see.&nbsp; Fortunately it seems to have been caught early.&nbsp; I did find things a little bit boring with such a small range of clothes, I was thinking if I expanded it to say 15 pieces it would be a very good Monday to Friday closet.&nbsp; I think a blouse, another pair of trousers or jeans, a dress and a jacket that worked with the blouse and sweaters (that I do now own) and one more pair of boots - and I would have been happy to do two more weeks.&nbsp; And of course I did not include bags and coats.&nbsp; This is why I am hunting for a new blazer.</p> <p>Thanks Angie.&nbsp; It was a fun experiment.&nbsp; And I hope we can get on top of this virus again.... they do not know if it was a quarantine breach or possible through the port or similar or even the coolstore.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10x10-capsule---final-week#post-2138635 Sat, 15 Aug 2020 04:57:01 +0000 MsMaven 2138635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the first three sweater outfits and how they are different even though the sweaters have the same shape. Also, that brown/black scarf with the pink sweater immediately caught my eye--I like the way you wear it. Thanks for showing it close up.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10x10-capsule---final-week#post-2138591 Fri, 14 Aug 2020 23:42:14 +0000 Jenn 2138591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are amazingly diverse looks for a 10x10 capsule! Incorporating the blush sweater really gave the collection an unexpected and fun shot of liveliness.</p> <p>It's fab that it worked through both predictable and uncertain schedules. New Zealand is handling this pandemic SO WELL, and I have no doubts you'll be back to normal sooner than we ever will.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10x10-capsule---final-week#post-2138589 Fri, 14 Aug 2020 23:35:29 +0000 Angie 2138589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Quite the hectic week! Fitting right in with the hectic year ...... :(</p> <p>I heard about part of NZ locking down again after I think months of no COVID cases at all. Soon, your numbers will be down again...</p> <p><b>Sal</b>, you look KILLER despite the strange week. My faves are the last 3 outfits. Sporty Elegant you wears white sneakers so well </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10x10-capsule---final-week#post-2138543 Fri, 14 Aug 2020 20:00:57 +0000 Sal 2138543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jenna.&nbsp;</p> <p>NemosMom- it is a leather cuff, I find it really useful to add a small amount of black to outfits to balance them out.&nbsp; It has a few slits in the leather and is very comfortable to wear.&nbsp; It is interesting when you compare a picture to how you feel you look in an outfit.&nbsp; I loved the wide crops with the pink sweater but I find the picture very "unflattering" - but this outfit was the one I chose for our quality audit as I wanted to feel good.&nbsp; Whereas outfit one I think looks good in the photo but I didn't feel that fab in it.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10x10-capsule---final-week#post-2138542 Fri, 14 Aug 2020 19:56:38 +0000 Minaminu 2138542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits!!!! Camel is really a good colour for you!<br /> Your 10x10 is very versitile, I love all the outfits!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10x10-capsule---final-week#post-2138541 Fri, 14 Aug 2020 19:55:08 +0000 nemosmom 2138541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the black boots with the darker skirt! And they create a lovely long line in the first pic! I really love all these outfits on you (my gosh you wear camel beautifully!) But I admit I am obsessed with the bracelet you have on in pic #1 it looks so cool - what is it?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10x10-capsule---final-week#post-2138540 Fri, 14 Aug 2020 19:51:44 +0000 Anonymous 2138540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first set really appeals to me, all three look especially good on you, colors and silhouettes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/10x10-capsule---final-week#post-2138536 Fri, 14 Aug 2020 19:35:44 +0000 Sal 2138536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi All,</p> <p>Week two of the capsule was a very weird week.&nbsp; We had our annual quality audit planned - and it was cancelled at the very last moment - due to the re-emerengence of Covid19 in NZ.&nbsp; At the moment some of NZ is back in strict restrictions with school closed, restaurants, hairdressers and gyms closed, and the rest of us are in a monitoring and tracking phase.&nbsp; I am not in Auckland so in the less restricted part, but we have had to plan and replan a few times this week.&nbsp; And after such a long run without Covid people have been shaken and are disappointed of course.&nbsp; Such a sneaky virus....&nbsp; We have now been advised to wear masks at times so I have been doing so in shops or crowds.</p> <p>So having a very defined set of clothes did make things easy.&nbsp; I had two days working from home, and three days at the office.</p> <p>With four tops and three bottoms there were twelve potential outfits that I could wear.&nbsp; I wore nine of these with one repeat (with different footwear),&nbsp; There were two combinations that I tried and did not like (striped top with skirt, and cardigan with jeans).&nbsp; The pink sweater and the skirt do work together but I didn't wear that combo.</p> <p>Most of the combinations I will wear again but not the black boots with jeans.&nbsp; I also feel the crops are JFE...but only just.&nbsp; The grey sweater looks very different in the two pics - different times of the day.</p> <p>I wore a few accessories as well but tried to limit them.</p> <p>- black cross body bag<br /> - brown slouchy bag<br /> - toffee wrap short coat<br /> - white belt (only once)<br /> - three scarves<br /> - silver pendant<br /> - black cuff</p> <p>Yes I would give this a go again because it is fun to play with my wardrobe, but I don't like being this restricted.&nbsp; It limits me to plainer more versatile pieces to gain the ability to mix and match.</p> <p>At the end of this I have decided the patterned cardigan is both stretched and shrunken as can happen with cheap knitwear - I have had 18 months of wear from this Zara cardigan bought for $11 so it will go to recycling.&nbsp; I would like a replacement short cardigan though as I don't own another.</p> <p>I have hacked a bit more off the jeans.</p> <p>And I realised that I have lost some of my love affair with black footwear.&nbsp; I do like and enjoy black but footwear not as much right now.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I am thinking that I might do a week of not wearing black clothes or footwear, and a week of dresses and skirts.&nbsp;</p> <p>Here is a link to last weeks outfits.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attempting-a-10x10-capsule">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....10-capsule</a> </p> </p> <p>Thanks for looking.</p>
