Particularly the most polished ones. I've discovered that the dress code is very similar to my last workplace, except for a few more colleagues&nbsp;that are more polished than the average teacher </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-versatile-red-capsule-for-early-fall/page/2#post-1023609 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 14:23:56 +0000 Beth Ann 1023609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous capsule, Ingunn!&nbsp; Your wardrobe works together so beautifully.&nbsp; I love the injection of a little pattern and the commitment to classic pieces with impeccable fits and good quality.</p> <p>How are these pieces working on your new job? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-versatile-red-capsule-for-early-fall/page/2#post-1023539 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 10:30:07 +0000 Astrid 1023539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is awesome! Like Jayne said, I was convinced after I saw the first picture. The colors are so pretty and it's just the right mix of interesting textures, shapes and patterns. I love every oufit you created with it! And it makes me very happy to see you get so much use out of the red shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-versatile-red-capsule-for-early-fall#post-1023536 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 10:11:10 +0000 jayne 1023536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just stunning.&nbsp; The floor picture was enough for me! What a so very well thought out and perfectly complementary group of items.&nbsp; I actually feel this is like the vivienne files in action.&nbsp; Her items are dream items from a fantasy collection called the internet...but yours are real pieces you own and can truly wear.&nbsp; Wonderful </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-versatile-red-capsule-for-early-fall#post-1023525 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 09:03:39 +0000 jurocha 1023525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*takes hat off to Ingunn*</p> <p>I LOVE the red dress; it's a tough cookie to decide whether I like this capsule or the other one best: I do believe, though, that the red brings such a luxurious feel to any outfit... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-versatile-red-capsule-for-early-fall#post-1023502 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 06:38:59 +0000 Ingunn 1023502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nancylee, I think you have already!

I would not wear the turtleneck and the jeans together without a topper anyway, since I prefer that not both top &amp; bottom is very fitted, and a topper softens the color mix, too.</p> <p>Julie, cognac and red is beautiful, thanks for pointing it out! </p> <p>Thanks again, everyone </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-versatile-red-capsule-for-early-fall#post-1023012 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 18:21:33 +0000 Makrame 1023012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great capsule! &nbsp;Bookmarking this post.</p> <p>I like burgundy and red - also like stripes and cream with the red. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-versatile-red-capsule-for-early-fall#post-1022997 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 18:11:49 +0000 cobaltblue 1022997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! Yes, I love these! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-versatile-red-capsule-for-early-fall#post-1022988 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 18:06:00 +0000 JulieJohn 1022988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun looks, Ingunn! I like the unexpected addition of burgundy. Another color pairing I like that you might try is cognac / rust + bright red. It's a little exciting and unexpected, just like your burgundy + red, which evokes a big bowl of berries. I love the patterned skirt. You are so creative, girl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-versatile-red-capsule-for-early-fall#post-1022981 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 18:01:12 +0000 unfrumped 1022981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fantastic capsule! YLF and I just am bowled over by your ability to combine things. It is too hard to pick faves. I love the leopard under the vest with the leather jacket. The white blouse semi-tucked is great. The print skirt is super.<br />I will say I'm not as much a fan of the burgundy top with the red pants and less with the red dress. I'm trying to sort out why because I like pink and orange and red and orange together and other somewhat unlikely combos. I think it's because the red&nbsp;pants are&nbsp;a cherry red and my eye is looking for something more neutral even if burgundy-ish--cognac-ish. <br />I can't see the top well in the photo of the print skirt with trench but have you tried the burgundy top with the print skirt, where the burgundy would look almost brown? or would that be too many colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-versatile-red-capsule-for-early-fall#post-1022959 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 17:37:04 +0000 Angie 1022959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW.</p> <p>There is no end to your organized creativity, Ingunn. I'm much impressed. I love the way you threw in the burgundy and pattern mixed the animal print. I vote K all round. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-versatile-red-capsule-for-early-fall#post-1022953 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 17:29:26 +0000 Ingunn 1022953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tracey, I know what you mean! I'm in fact quite spontaneous most of the time, myself. I rarely keep strictly to only the outfits created within a capsule, but continue to improvise and tweak on them. I consider capsule making as the fashion &amp; style equivalent of sketching or doing piano scales </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-versatile-red-capsule-for-early-fall#post-1022858 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 16:21:59 +0000 AviaMariah 1022858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love everything about this capsule. &nbsp;I especially love the patterned skirt. &nbsp;Red combined with burgundy??? &nbsp;What??? &nbsp;I would have thought a big no, no but I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-versatile-red-capsule-for-early-fall#post-1022857 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 16:20:28 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1022857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I envy those of you who put together capsules and are so organized. This is fabulous and how great to add red to your wardrobe! </p> <p>&nbsp; I am such a mood dresser and a spontaneous personality that this much planning just seems like work and would zap my joy of creating looks. &nbsp;I will challenge myself to wear a piece several ways and only buy items that I've already figured out 3 to 5 ways to style with my current items.&nbsp;</p> <p>I appreciate greatly the efforts this takes and the wonderful examples that you put together all at once that is a visual delight!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-versatile-red-capsule-for-early-fall#post-1022851 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 16:18:14 +0000 Pawprints 1022851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i>I find that mixing three or more shades of the same color look intentional, whereas only two can look off.</i></p> <p>Thank you for that nugget of wisdom. Lightbulb. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-versatile-red-capsule-for-early-fall#post-1022846 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 16:12:12 +0000 Ingunn 1022846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are all so sweet. Thank you for all comments and compliments! </p> <p>Joy, I try to find pieces that are red with a warm hint. Firetruck red, tomato red etc. But I also have cooler reds. I find that mixing three or more shades of the same color look intentional, whereas only two can look off.</p> <p>Suz, I think I like this one more because I can incorporate new pieces (silk blouse, pencil skirt, booties), and because the colors make me happy. I also think the dressiness level is well tailored to my lifestyle in this capsule. Next step will perhaps be to try and dress only from 1-3 capsules, as an exercise. Maybe you would feel less bored if you did the same? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-versatile-red-capsule-for-early-fall#post-1022779 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 15:15:23 +0000 lyn67 1022779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved your last year's capsule, Ingunn, too, but agree this one will be even more fun! Love the red pieces, in all their incarnation. All pairings are gorgeous! Very good job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-versatile-red-capsule-for-early-fall#post-1022757 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 15:01:11 +0000 Sara L. 1022757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these capsule posts!&nbsp; I think your capsule looks great and the red basis is unusual.&nbsp; You make it look easy but I have a hard time using red in my own wardrobe in interesting ways. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-versatile-red-capsule-for-early-fall#post-1022754 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 14:59:08 +0000 Nicole D 1022754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So inspiring! &nbsp;Was this a very labour intensive process? &nbsp;You mak e it seem effortless. &nbsp;Another thumbs up for burgundy with red, edgy and modern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-versatile-red-capsule-for-early-fall#post-1022746 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 14:54:31 +0000 Pawprints 1022746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Indeed, Queen capsule. Inspiration for the rest of us. </p> <p>I'm grateful for your pairings of burgundy and red. This gives me courage to try the same. </p> <p>My wardrobe is moving toward shades of wine/burgundy/berry as almost the sole color. But I also have this little section of red which seems indispensable. A pencil skirt much like yours. A cashmere cardi. A silk blouse. A pair of loafers I put in the purge box and take back out (I first think they're so classic they're dated and uninspiring and there was that whole red shoe thing a few years back and I went through a period of not wearing them....but they're about to come back out of the box again after viewing your post.)</p> <p>I have been wondering if I could get any of the burgundy to play nicely with red. I still am not sure for me-my coloring is not quite as bright as yours. But I sure am going to give it a try because you look fantastic, chic, creative. </p> <p>The whole capsule is inspired. Thank you for sharing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-versatile-red-capsule-for-early-fall#post-1022725 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 14:30:14 +0000 Jaime 1022725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Every outfit is its own thing and not just a substitution. This is some sort of ph.d in capsules I think! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-versatile-red-capsule-for-early-fall#post-1022720 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 14:24:58 +0000 Adelfa 1022720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun, fun, fun! I agree that the red/burgundy really works on you. Maybe I can try pink with burgundy as pink is my red!</p> <p>Red is a wonderful signature color for you. It fits with your vibrant coloring and personality. </p>
