I likes your fashion sense. You easily pair the apparels and all are looking nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-items-6-outfits---but-i-dont-like-all-of-them-aka-girl-math#post-1015787 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 14:31:24 +0000 Karie 1015787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #2, 5/6, 7 and 8. I'm not crazy about the dotted top under dotted top look (#3/4 and 9). The dress on its own would look great with a lightweight sweater or denim jacket.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-items-6-outfits---but-i-dont-like-all-of-them-aka-girl-math#post-1015782 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 14:28:50 +0000 Anonymous 1015782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so much fun. I like all the looks but favorites are 2, 5/6 and 8. Add a cropped white or red jacket and the dress top will be more wearable. Even if all the possibilities don't work for you, there are still several outfits ready to grab and go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-items-6-outfits---but-i-dont-like-all-of-them-aka-girl-math#post-1015771 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 14:18:55 +0000 lyn* 1015771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sure we are just bad shoppers and need more practice. Wink wink! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-items-6-outfits---but-i-dont-like-all-of-them-aka-girl-math#post-1015755 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 14:03:42 +0000 Suz 1015755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an experiment. So...the best one for looks is 5/6 but I wonder if it is comfortable since you had to tuck the top part? That is super clever capsule making!&nbsp;</p> <p>Of course if you were really creating a capsule of mix and match you wouldn't choose all dotty items or items that didn't work well together. But this is admittedly one of the challenges of capsules. If we only really want to wear 2 out of 10 or 12 possible items, what's the point?&nbsp;</p> <p>So does that mean we're shopping badly and just haven't chosen the right, mix-matchable items, or what? Still trying to get my head around this problem.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-items-6-outfits---but-i-dont-like-all-of-them-aka-girl-math#post-1015735 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 13:32:05 +0000 lyn* 1015735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your thoughts!! :)</p> <p>The dot dress is really light weight. On the other hand, the pencil skirt is not. That's how I could tuck it nicely </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-items-6-outfits---but-i-dont-like-all-of-them-aka-girl-math#post-1015732 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 13:30:22 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1015732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your dotty looks! I do find the last one too ALGO for my personal liking though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-items-6-outfits---but-i-dont-like-all-of-them-aka-girl-math#post-1015723 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 13:22:04 +0000 dizzys 1015723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun experiment. </p> <p>Number 9 could probably be better with a solid red cardi or jacket. Something to balance the red from the skirt on the top and cut through or settle the patterns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-items-6-outfits---but-i-dont-like-all-of-them-aka-girl-math#post-1015710 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 13:02:17 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1015710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super-cute retro pin-up girl for the win!&nbsp; I love the first five outfits! ( Picture #9 looks like a good idea taken a little too far - but the proportions are flawless) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-items-6-outfits---but-i-dont-like-all-of-them-aka-girl-math#post-1015706 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 12:56:27 +0000 AnnieMouse 1015706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jurocha, get outta my head! ^__^</p> <p>Yeh, I can't even understand how that dress went under that skirt, but it looks rad. </p> <p>9 is the only one that I'm not super sold on, but it still COULD work. I think 7 &amp; 8 are lovely, though I get the desire to top it with something (I'm on Team Covered Up, all the way!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-items-6-outfits---but-i-dont-like-all-of-them-aka-girl-math#post-1015607 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 08:37:35 +0000 jurocha 1015607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*Scratches hair and thinks 'How did she manage to hide a flare under a tube skirt and add no weird bulk?' Super props* I like 2, 5 and 8. And now I think whoever cut this polka dot dress was very unlucky: it seems a consensus that it works better as either a top or a skirt, but not that much as a dress (even if, and I agree with Peri, you could pull off 7!)</p> <p>Ah, 3 reminds me a little bit of a dirndl (and I love dirndl, but can't pull - have a hard time pulling - them off due my small bust). If you add a corset instead of the belt you have yourself a cute dirndl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-items-6-outfits---but-i-dont-like-all-of-them-aka-girl-math#post-1015525 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 04:21:37 +0000 Beth Ann 1015525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2, 5/6, 7 and 8 are all fab and completely wearable!&nbsp; I think exploring dots is a natural in your closet, and you've gotten a few new outfits out of it.&nbsp; I suspect a true capsule would require more items that include both solids and patterns, but it certainly isn't a requirement for beautiful outfit creation, and you are amazing at outfit creation!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-items-6-outfits---but-i-dont-like-all-of-them-aka-girl-math#post-1015422 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 02:14:34 +0000 Peri 1015422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is 5 &amp; 6...love this! I think you can do 7, but not if you aren't comfortable.</p> <p>But...I really don't like 9!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-items-6-outfits---but-i-dont-like-all-of-them-aka-girl-math#post-1015400 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 02:03:47 +0000 lyn* 1015400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just messing around in my closet tonight - and found three items (a dotty top, a dotty dress, and a pencil skirt) that can technically be used to make six different outfits.</p> <p>Of course, if I included all of my toppers and could swap out different dresses and different tops, I would in theory, have infinite combinations of clothes to wear.</p> <p>I have realized though - I don't like most of these combinations, and I would never wear them out of the house. This is why in theory, I could make 6 outfits out of 3 items, I never would.<br /><span><br /><b>Pic #1</b> -&nbsp;Dotty top! :)<br /></span><span><br /><b>Pic #2</b> -&nbsp;Outfit #1 -&nbsp;Dotty top + pencil skirt = I can see this working, with a black cardigan or maybe my red blazer<br /></span><span><br /><b>Pic #3</b> -&nbsp;Outfit #2 -&nbsp;Dotty dress + dotty top = I can see this working too; with a simple necklace or earrings.<b> Pic #4</b> -&nbsp;</span><span>detail of layering which I surprisingly don't mind; not usually my cuppa tea, but the dots match enough, I think.<br /></span><span><br /><b>Pic #5</b> - Outfit #3 -&nbsp;Dotty top + dotty dress as skirt = just tied the top and tucked it in; not too bad, same theory as Pic 3 and&nbsp;4, same dots, just reversed.&nbsp;<b>Pic #6 -&nbsp;</b></span><span>Dotty top + dotty dress as skirt = not too noticable that it's tied :p<br /></span><span><br /><b>Pic #7 -&nbsp;</b>Outfit #4 -&nbsp;Dotty dress solo = not something I'd wear. I don't like the neckline and bare shoulders. I'd pair with a jean jacket or a cardigan before wearing :p</p> <p><b>Pic #8 -</b> Outfit #5 -<b>&nbsp;</b>Dotty dress + pencil skirt = not something I'd wear without a topper, same reason as outfit #4</p> <p><b>Pic #9 -&nbsp;</b>Outfit #6 - Dotty dress + dotty topper + dotty skirt = maybe for someone who likes ALGO? This just hurts my eyes :p</p> <p>I think this is why a fully integrated "capsule" would never work for me - the aesthetics of what I like is too different. That being said, these three pieces can make three outfits I'd wear as is, and five outfits I'd wear with the addition of a jacket or a cardigan! I guess that's still pretty good girl math!</p> <p>SOURCES:<br /></span> <ul> <li>Multicoloured necklace: Anthropologie</li> <li>Gold necklace: Ricki's</li> <li>Dotty top: Sunny Girl (AUS)</li> <li>Pencil Skirt: Anthropologie</li> <li>Dotty dress: Anthropologie</li> <li>Red belt: Anthropologie</li> <li>Pumps: Le Chateau </li> </ul>
