Skirts and dresses tend to look dressier in these types of situations, and dresses are particularly easy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30ish-week-7#post-1891187 Sun, 18 Feb 2018 14:13:49 +0000 tanstaafl 1891187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Diana. I have been planning my outfits for each week the weekend prior. I choose one dress and one skirt for each week, figure out which days the weather will be best for them and go from there. As it warms up I’m planning to wear more skirts and dresses than pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30ish-week-7#post-1891112 Sun, 18 Feb 2018 04:44:14 +0000 Dianna 1891112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Angie that you look great in dresses and skirts. My favorites are 4 and 1. Your new burgundy shoes are perfect for your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30ish-week-7#post-1890801 Sat, 17 Feb 2018 13:59:49 +0000 tanstaafl 1890801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jussie and Mainelady - thanks! I was very pleased with this week. The burgundy shoes just need to be a little nicer to my feet. </p> <p>Kathie - I hadn’t noticed that about the white/cream. It is not a color I wear a lot of due to how pale I am. I’m going to look back through my outfits to see if that is a recurring theme throughout the month. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30ish-week-7#post-1890754 Sat, 17 Feb 2018 12:04:00 +0000 Kathie 1890754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking through all your outfits, the ones that really stand out are the ones that incorporate some white or cream, such as the print in 4 or the scarf in 1, which are my favorites from this week. Great job making it through the 30 days! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30ish-week-7#post-1890651 Sat, 17 Feb 2018 01:43:05 +0000 Mainelady 1890651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did it again! You consistently put together outfits with pieces that work together and create lovely silhouettes on you. My favorite is #4. Your burgundy shoes are fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30ish-week-7#post-1890572 Fri, 16 Feb 2018 22:35:24 +0000 jussie 1890572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You’ve absolutely nailed it. I like all the outfits in this post. Blush and cobalt are both great on you. I also like the burgundy shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30ish-week-7#post-1890517 Fri, 16 Feb 2018 20:39:52 +0000 tanstaafl 1890517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Bonnie, Barbara Diane, and Sterling.

I like #3 best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30ish-week-7#post-1890374 Fri, 16 Feb 2018 15:57:54 +0000 Bonnie 1890374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have done a great job with only 30 pieces. Your outfits look beautifully put together and not repetitive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30ish-week-7#post-1890369 Fri, 16 Feb 2018 15:48:52 +0000 tanstaafl 1890369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cee - Thanks!</p> <p>SarahD8 - I can’t wait to wear those heels again. I love the bit of shine and the soft suede together. The scarf is very slippery, so it is hard to tie it, but I’ll give the menswear option a try. </p> <p>Joy - I’m a sucker for blush as well. I would have liked this sweater to be a touch darker or more saturated, but it is very comfy and soft. </p> <p>Angie - those are my favorites as well. I have found that dresses and skirts also hit the dressiness level that I want without requiring as much thought as trouser outfits. </p> <p>Sterling - I really enjoyed the challenge, so thanks for starting it and following the rest of us that joined in. My capsule is really my whole wardrobe, so it’s nice to hear that I vary the outfits enough to keep it interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30ish-week-7#post-1890348 Fri, 16 Feb 2018 15:12:15 +0000 Anonymous 1890348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am agreement with other posters.&nbsp; You have taken this challenge and made it <u>your own</u>!!&nbsp; You have a <u>diverse and interesting assortment</u> of ensembles that are on the dressier end of the business casual spectrum, without looking corporate.&nbsp; I would never have known you were working with a small capsule.&nbsp; Obviously, your capsule is well thought out and curated.&nbsp; YAY you.&nbsp;</p> <p>It is my personal goal to dress up more at work and to start to migrate toward the business casual spectrum.&nbsp; Your examples have been so helpful to me.&nbsp; It was like I had a personal stylist showing me how it can be done.&nbsp; Thank you so much for participating in the challenge.&nbsp; You brightened my days.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30ish-week-7#post-1890347 Fri, 16 Feb 2018 15:11:27 +0000 Angie 1890347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#4 is my favourite here. #1 is next. I like you best in skirts and dresses, but get how practical trousers are. Nicely done.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30ish-week-7#post-1890341 Fri, 16 Feb 2018 14:54:50 +0000 Anonymous 1890341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are getting such variety in your outfits from 30 pieces. I am a sucker for blush, so the first outfit stands out as a favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30ish-week-7#post-1890337 Fri, 16 Feb 2018 14:47:49 +0000 SarahD8 1890337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic looks! I think #1 is just sooooo elegant with the blush top and soft print of the scarf. You did an AMAZING job with your shoe shopping. Those burgundy heels are gorgeous — versatile but not uninteresting, and they work great with the dress outfit.</p> <p>For the statement scarf, would it work to tie it like a men’s tie? I think that could be an interesting juxtaposition (esp with a plain button down shirt???). I like the way you have it though too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30ish-week-7#post-1890325 Fri, 16 Feb 2018 14:10:54 +0000 Cee 1890325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30ish-week-7#post-1890323 Fri, 16 Feb 2018 14:08:02 +0000 tanstaafl 1890323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At the end of week 7 I have 31 outfits using 32 pieces of clothing (excluding shoes and scarves and under layers for warmth). While I’ve used 32 pieces total, I’ve retired two pieces, so I’m still at 30 pieces. ish:). And since holidays and other random occurrences meant I got to 30 outfits on a Thursday, I added today’s outfit as a bonus. So again, 30ish. </p> <p>I am aiming for the dressier end of the business casual spectrum, without looking corporate. </p> <p>1: Blush sweater, grey herringbone skirt, grey floral scarf. The skirt and tights are both charcoal grey, though they look almost black in the pic. </p> <p>2: Blue pleat neck shell, grey blazer, grey pants. I like the blue and grey together, and used a fun necklace to try to keep it from looking too corporate. </p> <p>3: Teal button front shirt, marled cardigan, black straight leg pants. I wanted to try my new loafers with this outfit, but they didn’t arrive in time. </p> <p>4-6: Black and white diamond print dress, burgundy cardigan, new burgundy heels. The heels are suede and patent with pointy toes. Pictures 5 and 6 show the detail on the shoes. They rubbed a little on the back of my left heel, but a bandaid took care of that and they otherwise felt good all day. I’m hopeful they just need a short breaking in period. </p> <p>7: Blue metal trim blouse, grey boot cut pants, multicolor abstract scarf. I love the colors in this scarf, but it is definitely a statement piece, and I struggle a bit with how to tie it. </p> <p>I’ll post a wrap up of my challenge and what I learned from it a little later. </p> <p>As always, any thoughts and suggestions are greatly appreciated! </p>
