My niece made and gave me that necklace. I love the frogs on it.<br /> Style Fan and Brooklyn, I have gone through stages with accessories and am rediscovering some favorites. Brooklyn, gold is a good idea to brighten things up.<br /> Suz, that top reminds me of the scarf tops that I saw everywhere in NYC about 3 years ago. I never found one for myself, although my cold shoulder striped top comes close. Maybe I should hack a big square scarf and make something.<br /> Your seasonal capsule idea has kept me from buying summer refreshers this year and I've been satisfied with my closet. Next spring I will be looking for some new summer bottoms or hacking jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-warm-fall-blue-and-brown-capsule#post-1550110 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 11:20:03 +0000 Suz 1550110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, I hope you do make that trip with your friend to Europe. Would that ever be fascinating for the two of you!&nbsp;</p> <p>And happy belated birthday!&nbsp;</p> <p>This is a great capsule. Like the others, I'm admiring that watercolour print tank.&nbsp;</p> <p>How clever of you to combine brown and blue for this capsule. The blue keeps it summery and fresh to reflect the temperatures while the brown brings it into autumn.&nbsp;</p> <p>I may have given you the idea for these capsules originally, but you have taken the idea and run with it in a way that I have never matched! I think your large wardrobe and eclectic sensibilities are a huge advantage in this. When I first came up with the idea, I didn't really have entire capsules of clothes that I could afford to "cordon off" as it were &nbsp;-- I needed to wear everything all the time. Now I might have a bit more flexibility, but it seems I still don't have enough to create a (mostly) season dedicated capsule. I will have to give that some thought because I still really love this idea and think it is a fantastic way to maintain a sense of freshness in the wardrobe without buying too much that is new.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hmm. Maybe part of it has been our weather patterns -- they've been different from usual the past few seasons so I can't predict what will work well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-warm-fall-blue-and-brown-capsule#post-1550106 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 10:46:36 +0000 Brooklyn 1550106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your capsule Joy! The only thing I would suggest is the addition of some gold accents (jewellery, shoes or other accessories). I think gold goes so well with brown and blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-warm-fall-blue-and-brown-capsule#post-1550093 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 09:53:01 +0000 Style Fan 1550093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a gorgeous capsule.&nbsp; Love your style.&nbsp; You have such great accessories.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-warm-fall-blue-and-brown-capsule#post-1550083 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 09:18:01 +0000 Jeweled 1550083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, I love blues and browns together.&nbsp; Especially when the browns are orange-ish or cognac, since blue and orange are complementary colors.&nbsp; What great and versatile capsule colors!&nbsp; Oh, and I love that wood and stone necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-warm-fall-blue-and-brown-capsule#post-1549913 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 00:38:19 +0000 Anonymous 1549913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It will be 50 years since my "twin" and I spent a summer exploring Europe.

Would you consider adding in some white or olive pieces...that might give you a few more options. Love the richness of the brown/cognac pieces, definitely gives the feeling of fall in the air! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-warm-fall-blue-and-brown-capsule#post-1549606 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 15:37:52 +0000 Anonymous 1549606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy you are my inspiration and I seem to be copying you like nobody's business! This weekend I put together 2 hot autumn capsules in orange, white and khaki/olive and in blue and brown-- though my blues are more teal. I am just fawning over your cobalt. I think it will pair superbly with the brown you show and it looks to me like you could get endless outfit combos from these pieces. I can't wait to see some renditions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-warm-fall-blue-and-brown-capsule#post-1549592 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 15:24:05 +0000 Maneera 1549592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful and cohesive capsule for fall, Joy! I love love love the patterned top in image 1. Just gorgeous! All this blue reminds me of pink for some reason. I've never built capsules so I don't know how it works much...but that blue skirt will look lovely with pinks, reds, burgundy or wine. Just a thought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-warm-fall-blue-and-brown-capsule#post-1549569 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 15:08:25 +0000 MuseumGal 1549569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely capsule Joy. &nbsp;We are twinsies on that cobalt EF top (in fact I'm wearing it today!) and I adore that beautiful paisley scarf/wrap. &nbsp;Do you have any amber jewelry? &nbsp;Would be lovely with this capsule. &nbsp;Oh and you are making more remember that I have some wood jewelry that I should pull out for "warm summer." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-warm-fall-blue-and-brown-capsule#post-1549555 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 14:48:10 +0000 Elly 1549555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No help-- but that patterned tank is GORGEOUS! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/august-challenge-warm-fall-blue-and-brown-capsule#post-1549548 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 14:42:34 +0000 Anonymous 1549548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was fun and educational to put some capsules together for warm fall to feel refreshed. This does not mean that they are the only pieces I will wear for the next 6-8 weeks, but they were held back from the rest of the summer from seeing little, if any wear.<br /> This capsule is still in need of tweeking and will draw from grey, black, denim and whites. What am I missing? Suggestions welcomed, especially for pairings and styling. </p>
