Inspiring as usual, Ingunn! Thanks for sharing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-a-casual-summer-up-north/page/2#post-1265506 Sat, 31 May 2014 11:06:55 +0000 Elizabeth P 1265506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another brilliant capsule from the Queen! Great idea to wear ls button up shirts with shorts, not sure I'd have done that. I also need some patterned tops for summer but find that difficult. You've made me see how they can really add variety. I also think the denim shorts are a great length for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-a-casual-summer-up-north#post-1265485 Sat, 31 May 2014 10:35:28 +0000 Quietgirl 1265485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great choices and very wearable! Love that bag, so classy!</p> <p>You asked about tweeks to be more modern....what about a brightly colored statement bag? Pink, orange, citron? Your choice. What about a little skirt? I see your capsule containing classic pieces so maybe a straight golf skirt in a tiny plaid or tone on tone stripe? Would your weather accommodate one?</p> <p>Thank you for this post. I see clearly that I have no floral or print tops in my summer wardrobe. THANKS for pointing this out!!! Wonderful work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-a-casual-summer-up-north#post-1265466 Sat, 31 May 2014 08:18:07 +0000 fuzzylogic 1265466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn, your wardrobe capsules are just brilliant!!!! I love to browse them!!!<br /> Those (shorter) shorts look amazing on you- not too short at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-a-casual-summer-up-north#post-1265462 Sat, 31 May 2014 08:02:39 +0000 Ingunn 1265462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! I'm enjoying wearing some of these outfits right now, as we are having a short Holiday and especially wonderful summery weather. Shorts are the way to go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-a-casual-summer-up-north#post-1265069 Fri, 30 May 2014 19:44:34 +0000 Anonymous 1265069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fab capsule! You've surpassed yourself yet again Ingunn. I like the colours you've chosen and the fact that there's a lot of white in it all. I rather like Aidas idea for adding a little sparkle too. You look fabulous in all renditions and I'm sure you'll have a great fashionable Summer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-a-casual-summer-up-north#post-1264986 Fri, 30 May 2014 16:49:19 +0000 LauraP 1264986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great capsule, and you look terrific. I especially like the denim shorts with button-ups-- casual but polished.

I love the soft colors for spring/summer, the white tote, that light blue sweater, the splashes of&nbsp; yellow and the shorts - so great on you! It's also so educational to see how you use various shoe styles and belts to help complete each outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-a-casual-summer-up-north#post-1264798 Fri, 30 May 2014 12:33:36 +0000 Jaime 1264798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the boyfriend jeans on you. Of course I peaked before I read your post and thought where did they come from, have I seen them? I was relieved to read they are new! You wear every length shorts and jeans beautifully and I love the colors. This is a model capsule! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-a-casual-summer-up-north#post-1264772 Fri, 30 May 2014 11:44:47 +0000 Anonymous 1264772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Terrific capsule.

I so want to shop your closet. You know I thought about getting both the Boden sweater and some white Converse before I started SYC... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-a-casual-summer-up-north#post-1264733 Fri, 30 May 2014 08:24:49 +0000 Ingunn 1264733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes, you might need anything from multiple layers to sleeveless tank tops in Northern Norway in July, depending on the weather. It can be highly unpredictable. I advice bringing a thin wool/fleece long sleeved sweater and some sort of wind breaker&nbsp;just in case. Hopefully you won't be needing it! Normally the temperature will be between 10 and 25 degrees celsius, but I have experienced both very hot and very cold weather in Norway in July - particularly in the Arctic areas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-a-casual-summer-up-north#post-1264730 Fri, 30 May 2014 07:27:49 +0000 carolbee 1264730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is just brilliant. Love every combo. Was also,most interested to read about your summer as I soon leave for Europe including Norway for the first week of July and have been trying to work out the ratio of SS tops to LS tops and this makes me think that I should have more LS tops, which I will need for the Arctic portion of the trip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-a-casual-summer-up-north#post-1264720 Fri, 30 May 2014 06:03:08 +0000 Ingunn 1264720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Angie! I think it was you that made me aware of Karen Millen. The tote was purchased when I was in London in March Preferring the white Chucks to the black Adi sneaks is a good point. As Summer progresses, it will make even more sense. The Adi sneaks have been great Spring shoes with longer trousers and jeans.</p> <p>Thank you very much,&nbsp;Rachy, the blue sweater is one of my favorites. So comfy!</p> <p>Aida, that is great ideas. I have metallic kitten heel pumps, but then I'm into dressy land. A metallic belt would make a lovely addition to my collection.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you, Alassë and Golden!&nbsp;</p> <p>Neel, that is so interesting! I will definitely need a topper sometimes, especially when I wear the short sleeved tops. My choices will probably be a denim jacket, a linen safari jacket or a blazer. I also have a cashmere hoodie.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-a-casual-summer-up-north#post-1264717 Fri, 30 May 2014 05:49:17 +0000 Neel 1264717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the denim shorts on you. And this is a terrific capsule! And a great inspiration for me. Our summers are extremely hot for a third layer (except when indoors) and you have included enough variety to keep the outfits from looking plain. Just perfect for me! Marking as favorite to copy!</p> <p>You wouldn't need toppers, would you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-a-casual-summer-up-north#post-1264715 Fri, 30 May 2014 05:43:01 +0000 Golden 1264715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice job as usual! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-a-casual-summer-up-north#post-1264562 Fri, 30 May 2014 02:09:19 +0000 Alassë 1264562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All 3 in #4 really stand out to me (strong, crisp colour), and the last one in #5 as well (so fresh/summery). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-a-casual-summer-up-north#post-1264475 Fri, 30 May 2014 01:05:19 +0000 Aida 1264475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another amazing capsule! All the shorts outfits rock. Both pairs look perfect on you. I hope you get lots of weather to wear them All four of the printed blouses in the bottom left would look super with the shorts and either the white sneaks or flat nude sandals. The other looks are lovely too. It feels weird to say, but the chino outfits are a great "dressy" option for this casual capsule; all of those looks definitely read as dressier to me. Fab white tote! The only thing I would add to this capsule is a little sparkle, either in a metallic belt or shoe or purse, or perhaps something sequined. But that's the magpie in me ^^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-a-casual-summer-up-north#post-1264410 Thu, 29 May 2014 23:50:58 +0000 rachylou 1264410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this capsule, esp. the baby blue boatneck sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-a-casual-summer-up-north#post-1264363 Thu, 29 May 2014 22:45:25 +0000 Angie 1264363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another excellent capsule from Queen Capsule. You look fab.&nbsp;</p> <p>I tend to prefer the white sneaker looks to the blue sneaker looks - more crisp and modern - AND classic somehow. Killer white tote too. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-a-casual-summer-up-north#post-1264326 Thu, 29 May 2014 22:12:58 +0000 Ingunn 1264326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Parsley! I think the blue and white top would fit nicely into your blue and white capsule. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-smart-casual-ink-and-white">I've created one myself, too</a>.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you, Claire! It was a moment of thruth :)</p> <p>Haha, NZ Nicola, I'm sure you will be enjoying your floral dress a lot, too!&nbsp;</p> <p>Helenedith, my jeans are H&amp;M Boyfriends.

Your boyfriend jeans are perfect on you - what brand are they? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-a-casual-summer-up-north#post-1264251 Thu, 29 May 2014 20:48:58 +0000 Nicola 1264251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A gorgeous capsule wardrobe. I particularly like the lemon yellow, white and blue. So fresh and summery. I did exactly the opposite of you and bought the floral sheath when I really needed more tops! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-a-casual-summer-up-north#post-1264243 Thu, 29 May 2014 20:36:42 +0000 Anonymous 1264243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn I adore your summer style! This is a perfect capsule for your short, mild summer. Kudos to you for passing on the floral sheath. You know yourself so well that you're not wasting money on things that wouldn't get enough wear.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-a-casual-summer-up-north#post-1264220 Thu, 29 May 2014 20:07:30 +0000 Parsley 1264220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like you've got your summer capsule well taken care of, Ingunn, and a fabulous one it is!<br />Your summer tops are so cute- I'm in love with that navy and white one.&nbsp;<br />And, wow, it's impressive that you can wear hand-me-downs from your daughter!&nbsp;<br />All of your pieces work so well together, and can mix and match with other things. That should make packing easy if you plan to travel this summer.<br />I love the white toe, too. It's perfect for finishing off a casual summer look.<br />You really are the Queen of the Capsule Wardrobe!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-a-casual-summer-up-north#post-1264209 Thu, 29 May 2014 19:47:04 +0000 Ingunn 1264209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Suz. Yes, the tops are great purchases for me. They are made of viscose, so my demand for natural fibers is met. They are very easy to dress up and down with various bottoms, and the colors work well in my wardrobe. The footwear makes quite a difference, doesn't it? It's fun to see how little it takes sometimes.&nbsp;A change of bags make a big&nbsp;difference, too.</p> <p>I will definitely be adding toppers as needed to this capsule. Most likely it will be my denim jacket, the safari jacket or the navy blazer. On a chilly evening I could pop on my grey cashmere hoodie.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-a-casual-summer-up-north#post-1264205 Thu, 29 May 2014 19:39:19 +0000 Suz 1264205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I should say you will be wearing those tops all the time. They are fabulous on you! Great purchases. And this is a terrific capsule. It is simple, classic, and very versatile. I love how the footwear options really change things up. You can go from ultra casual to almost-dressed-up in just a moment!&nbsp;</p> <p>Will you add a couple of toppers for cooler days or evenings as well?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-a-casual-summer-up-north#post-1264201 Thu, 29 May 2014 19:34:05 +0000 Ingunn 1264201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! I finaally feel that all my capsule creating the past two years pays off. Now I'm able to realize <i>what</i> to shop for, and <i>when</i> to stop shopping. At least to some degree:)</p> <p>Case in point: Last week I was tempted to buy a pretty, but quite expensive&nbsp;sheath, a light floral one. I don't have anything like that. But then I considered how little I actually wear sheaths in summer, and I walked away. Instead, I bought the two tops in #3 at a fraction of the price, and I will be wearing these all the time. They were just what I needed to feel that my summer wardrobe was sufficiently refreshed.&nbsp; </p>
