I would wear that. I struggle with scarfs unless just over a sweater, tee type top. </p> <p>Thanks for the challenge- it was fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-capsule-challenge-1#post-2229852 Wed, 06 Oct 2021 15:29:21 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2229852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these, but clearly I'm not ready for fall/winter to arrive, because #2, 5, and 7 are all speaking loudly to me.&nbsp; &nbsp;#1 and #3 are close favorites, as well.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>I'm finding I like the blouse better open - it looks more cool and chill, which feels very you.&nbsp; &nbsp;I'm wondering what happens if you take everything in #3, unbutton the neck, shift the brooch to the upper chest, and wear that tan crossbody opposite to the brooch?</p> <p>I also feel like that scarf in #4 could be loosened up, so it lies along the open neckline.&nbsp; Possibly tuck it into the top.&nbsp; &nbsp;I think you'd find it more comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-capsule-challenge-1#post-2229507 Tue, 05 Oct 2021 01:16:29 +0000 Sal 2229507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Carla - it's a winning look right?&nbsp; Screams spring/summer?</p> <p>Thanks Helena - in reality if I wore these shoes and purse I would wear my ribcage jeans which are a bit dressier (no raw edge, stiffer denim etc).&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Agree Shevia - and I think put the same outfit on someone else it could veer quite differently again.&nbsp; I think Carla for example would wear jeans and a denim shirt and would suit the scarf well, or Janet would probably add more of an edge to her outfit with jewelry or pointy toe boots.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-capsule-challenge-1#post-2229502 Tue, 05 Oct 2021 01:07:53 +0000 Jaime 2229502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love seeing how small tweaks can totally change the vibe. And, importantly, these all are good. No point changing the accessories if one version is much better right? Sorry about lockdown - never less than a bummer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-capsule-challenge-1#post-2229496 Tue, 05 Oct 2021 00:17:12 +0000 Helena 2229496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is awesome! If I HAD to pick a favourite, I'd go with the colourful round purse and shoes, just because they really pop, but these are all terrific, and a testament to the power of simple pieces and great accessories! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-capsule-challenge-1#post-2229494 Tue, 05 Oct 2021 00:16:03 +0000 Carla 2229494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL! &nbsp;We were thinking alike to bookend white/light sandals with a straw hat. &nbsp;You have added lots of interest to an otherwise simple outfit, with your choice of accessories, Sal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-capsule-challenge-1#post-2229482 Mon, 04 Oct 2021 23:37:46 +0000 Sal 2229482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lozz_oz - I agree.&nbsp; Although accessories can be more expensive than clothes (this shirt was second hand and $5, the jeans were more like $220 and are 18 months old).&nbsp; I have slowly built up my accessories to have mini capsules.&nbsp; I don't have everything (for example no navy belt, no white belt) and some pieces that I just mix in as pops of colour (my yellow and pink and green bags for example).</p> <p>Sally - do give it a go.&nbsp; It was fun to experiment although there are two I would not wear.&nbsp; And yes I am in the Waikato (Level 3) but our work is in a Level 2 area....fun and games!!&nbsp; I can work from home.&nbsp; I am pleased you will be able to see your Mum.</p> <p>Thanks Bijou - it was a good exercise.&nbsp; On me the ones with the tan or white accessories feel better, although I liked the black and white rollies.&nbsp; I think the navy and black veer a bit too dark.</p> <p>I may even give this another attempt with more emphasis on jewelry and lipstick.&nbsp; I think red or bright lipstick would have worked really well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-capsule-challenge-1#post-2229480 Mon, 04 Oct 2021 23:27:02 +0000 Sal 2229480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suntiger - I liked that one too.</p> <p>Irina - thank you.&nbsp; I have more than I think don't I.... (I also have a yellow bag that I think would work well)</p> <p>Thanks Angie - I liked the casual ones too.&nbsp; I usually tend to a brimmed hat but I would wear the baseball styled one for some occasions.&nbsp; Lucky my son has many to borrow...</p> <p>Lyn - I agree, the boots are good with the outfit.&nbsp; I think the scarf feels too fussy on me with a collar....</p> <p>Thanks Tanya - I hope so too. You picked two of my favourites.</p> <p>Thanks The Cat - I am really enjoying this denim shirt that cost $5!!</p> <p>Thanks Star - it was fun to try a cap again... I agree - if I wanted to wear heels in reality I would choose different jeans or trousers.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Brooklyn - thank you.&nbsp; It was interesting to see, and I agree with the heels.&nbsp; Of course accessories are often more expensive than basics like these so it would be cheaper to mix up the shirt/top and keep the same accessories.&nbsp; Jeans of course are such an easy piece to dress up and down.</p> <p>Staysfit - no 6 was what I was actually wearing although I didn't need the bag in reality.&nbsp; And I agree the white sole on these sneakers makes them easier to wear.</p> <p>Cat2 - yes belts do assist.&nbsp; I borrowed my husband's belt for the first one as I don't have a navy belt to match the boots and bag.&nbsp; I think with such casual jeans as these the belt helps.</p> <p>Column- it is an interesting exercise to see what I liked and didn't, and how hair and rolling sleeves make a difference as well.</p> <p>Thanks Katerina - I think because accessories tend to last for a long time you can slowly build a good collection.&nbsp; It has taken me a few years to get there - and I am not strong on my scarf game.&nbsp; I could do with a white belt, I am looking out but want good quality and haven't found the right one yet.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-capsule-challenge-1#post-2229406 Mon, 04 Oct 2021 19:05:39 +0000 Anonymous 2229406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 2 most from this bunch!

The casual versions are my faves. #2, 7, 8 and 9.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-capsule-challenge-1#post-2229272 Mon, 04 Oct 2021 12:13:41 +0000 lyn67 2229272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All great, you have fab pieces to play with but-actually the one with the scarf would be my fave (only sans the scarf:-)) and would love the one with the brooch if wearing the black booties to that outfit...&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-capsule-challenge-1#post-2229269 Mon, 04 Oct 2021 11:58:58 +0000 Tanya 2229269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun experiment, I think you totally nailed.&nbsp; &nbsp;My favorites are #2 and #7.&nbsp; &nbsp;I am sorry abut staying-at-home again, hope it ends soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-capsule-challenge-1#post-2229262 Mon, 04 Oct 2021 11:46:04 +0000 The Cat 2229262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#7 is my favourite. Great summer look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-capsule-challenge-1#post-2229261 Mon, 04 Oct 2021 11:39:47 +0000 Star (Lise) 2229261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nodding in agreement regarding baseball caps :)&nbsp; I look ridiculous in them.&nbsp; However you do not Sal.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-capsule-challenge-1#post-2229259 Mon, 04 Oct 2021 11:35:54 +0000 Star (Lise) 2229259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh this was fun and interesting.&nbsp; I like the first three and the last three.&nbsp; The middle three are more dressy to me because of the brooch, the pumps, the scarf, the heeled sandals and in that case I would wear dark wash or white jeans.&nbsp; Now I am going to read what others said </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-capsule-challenge-1#post-2229258 Mon, 04 Oct 2021 11:14:31 +0000 Brooklyn 2229258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting exercise. It shows how much you can change a look with accessories and tweaks (tucked, untucked, hair up, down etc). Food for thought with summer coming.</p> <p>My favourites are 2 and 8. I admit I am somewhat anti-heels these days. I like the casual versions.</p> <p>(And sorry about your lockdown.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-capsule-challenge-1#post-2229246 Mon, 04 Oct 2021 10:49:22 +0000 Staysfit 2229246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What fun, all are nice but my favorites are 2,5, and 6. &nbsp;Number two is casual classic chic. The sunglasses are perfect with the shoes and bag. &nbsp; I think you did a great job with number 5. &nbsp;No belt or other distractions mixed with the fun contrast of the circular bag and teal heels. &nbsp;Number six is simple &nbsp; &nbsp;Sporty classic chic. &nbsp;The light sole of the sneakers works well here. &nbsp;I think the outfit would not work as well with dark soled sneaks. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-capsule-challenge-1#post-2229244 Mon, 04 Oct 2021 10:39:06 +0000 cat2 2229244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun! I like the first two, the belts really add polish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-capsule-challenge-1#post-2229243 Mon, 04 Oct 2021 10:02:56 +0000 Column 2229243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SO smart! I need to try this at home: same outfit, different accessories. I can’t pick a favorite! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-capsule-challenge-1#post-2229242 Mon, 04 Oct 2021 08:51:48 +0000 Katerina 2229242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is great, Sal! Such rather small tweaks make a big difference and change the vibe entirely. You have a fabulous collection of shoes and accessories. All outfits are very good and my favorite is 1. Close second favorite are 2,6,7. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-capsule-challenge-1#post-2229240 Mon, 04 Oct 2021 08:12:54 +0000 lozz_oz 2229240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great lockdown activity...... even if it’s to work out what you would or wouldn’t wear!<br /> The variety of looks with simple substitutions of accessories reinforces what we already know - we don’t ‘need’ as much as we think we do ;)<br /> All look great, and you already know which outfits feel the most like you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-capsule-challenge-1#post-2229235 Mon, 04 Oct 2021 06:41:02 +0000 Sally 2229235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm guessing you live in the area that has just become restricted....what a pain.&nbsp; We have been told we can meet people outside so I'm thinking I will sit in my 86 year old mum's garden and she can talk to me from the window as I haven't seen her for over 2 months.&nbsp; I am fully vaccinated and she gets her 2nd shot next week.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />I really like all your adaptions and can't really pick a favourite.&nbsp; I like how you have categorised them with the casual and work appropriate in different pictures.&nbsp; I am thinking of doing something similar but with skinnies and my white shirt.&nbsp; I like scarfs and have a lot but am not a big accessory person.&nbsp; I'll have to see what I can find.&nbsp; Also as we have quite different styles, it will be interesting.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-capsule-challenge-1#post-2229226 Mon, 04 Oct 2021 05:25:25 +0000 Bijou 2229226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favourites are #2, #6 and #7 - all really suit your casual yet elegant style. This is such an interesting experiment, as the different shoes, bags and accessories really changed things up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-capsule-challenge-1#post-2229221 Mon, 04 Oct 2021 04:14:36 +0000 kellygirl 2229221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha! I am the same way with baseball caps. I don’t give them a second thought on others but I feel ridiculous in them except for walking. You look sporty and chic in your—or your son’s! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-capsule-challenge-1#post-2229220 Mon, 04 Oct 2021 04:05:11 +0000 Sal 2229220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We all have personal bias Joy and your comment made me laugh!!&nbsp; I stole this hat from my 16 year old son for the photo.&nbsp; I do wear caps but mostly for walking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-capsule-challenge-1#post-2229219 Mon, 04 Oct 2021 04:03:22 +0000 Anonymous 2229219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first outfits in #1 and #3 best. It is a personal dislike, but baseball caps are too sporty and a bit dumb and dumber looking to me. Please ignore this bias. You look great in jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-capsule-challenge-1#post-2229215 Mon, 04 Oct 2021 03:40:55 +0000 Sal 2229215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can pretend right?&nbsp; I didn't wear that one yesterday to go to the market (before we had to stay at home) but that sort of errand I would wear that exact look.</p> <p>I found it an interesting exercise too and it is fun to see how the tweaks can change up the look.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
