And that's the heart of it right there, so give that some thought first. Good job thinking this through.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-inspired-by-suz-bootie-list---work-shoe-capsule-question#post-1349439 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 19:11:08 +0000 Tanya 1349439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess this will depend on the shapes of your pants and skirts.&nbsp; Are your pants skinny, straight,flared?&nbsp; How about the skirts: pencils, full? Do you prefer to wear heels with skirts or are fine with flats as well?&nbsp; What is your work dress code?&nbsp; Many questions, I know. <br />In the most general case, booties aside, I would go for flat oxfords, loafers, and two pairs of almond/pointy toed pumps with appropriate heel heights.&nbsp; Colors would depend on colors of your skirts/pants and hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-inspired-by-suz-bootie-list---work-shoe-capsule-question#post-1349397 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 18:29:06 +0000 frannieb 1349397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I have had a complete revelation about capsules and how they work when I asked my questions about booties. &nbsp;I'm excited about my bootie list and filling in the holes with actual smart shopping not just grabbing what I think is pretty.<br />I'm learning to not just buy what I like because it is pretty - I end up with way to many closet orphans. &nbsp;<br />This is the bootie list we came up with -</p> <p>Basic Bootie – black Fringe bootie</p> <p>Crossover cold weather/rain bootie – Aquatalia sweetie</p> <p>Winter Bootie - </p> <p>Colored Bootie – </p> <p>Animal Print Bootie - </p> <p>Bookending Bootie (cognac) -</p> <p>Wildcard bootie –White cut-outs from Paris</p> <p>Now I want to come up with something similar for my work shoes. Of course the booties will crossover into the work shoe capsule but if you were creating a shoe capsule for someone who wears - pants or skirt with a topper to work everyday with some occasional dresses. What would that shoe capsule include?</p> <p></p> <p><b>updated to answer Tanya's questions below</b></p>
