I like the idea of a pattern with this capsule too.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like Aida's idea of adding silver.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-my-citron-ankle-pants#post-1667837 Thu, 26 May 2016 23:42:02 +0000 Aida 1667837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great capsule Joy! I think if you wanted to expand, a little blush would be lovely here. Might also be fun to try adding in a little dove gray and silver, in place of gold (belt, shoes, jewelry, etc.), for accents. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-my-citron-ankle-pants#post-1667754 Thu, 26 May 2016 20:51:44 +0000 Anonymous 1667754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I don't know what I ever did before denim. When I joined YLF, I had none. Thank you for your helpful examples of capsules. I use them as a template. I feel that this one is missing prints and texture, except for the gingham shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-my-citron-ankle-pants#post-1667564 Thu, 26 May 2016 14:30:12 +0000 Angie 1667564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did a great job of putting together a chartreuse capsule, Joy. The white and light denim look familiar!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-my-citron-ankle-pants#post-1667496 Thu, 26 May 2016 12:54:39 +0000 RobinF 1667496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, this is great to see, so helpful. I really like the low contrast look, very soothing. I tend to create more contrast in my outfits but I really like this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-my-citron-ankle-pants#post-1667478 Thu, 26 May 2016 12:30:43 +0000 Anonymous 1667478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Diane.<br /> Skylurker, thank you for your thoughts. The plaid jacket does look out of place. I included it because in early spring I like to wear it with a black and white polkadot shirt and the golden raisin pencil skirt, grounded with black accessories as you said. It is not bad with the ankle pants but I never wear them together. I will remove the jacket from this capsule rather than add black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-my-citron-ankle-pants#post-1667449 Thu, 26 May 2016 11:02:06 +0000 skylurker 1667449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the palette looks sophisticated and at home in your "quiet elegance" realm.<br /> I see Suz was thinking adding contrast, and I was thinking the opposite : striking out (of the capsule, not of your wardrobe the jacket with black buttons.<br /> To me, it calls for more contrast and black accessories to match (I must have some of that Goldenpig's matchymatchy compulsion and leaving the capsule pale in white, gold, light blue would look more cohesive.<br /> I don't see any holes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-my-citron-ankle-pants#post-1667440 Thu, 26 May 2016 10:13:50 +0000 Anonymous 1667440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like others, I'm seriously impressed Joy.

Your capsules are not only wearable and versatile but also so creative and fun. I love how you have paired the warm yellow with white, and that you added gold footwear, jewelry and accessories (nice finishing touches).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-my-citron-ankle-pants#post-1667235 Wed, 25 May 2016 23:04:57 +0000 Anonymous 1667235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Suz. Yes, proportion can make a big difference whether or not an outfit feels and looks good. I am being more careful of high contrast. The strange thing is that black and white doesn't seem to bother me. I think the key is to have a column of color, either internal or external, and then add a high contrast topper or accessory.<br /> I have a high contrast kimono jacket that I like with a citron top as it has a bit of citron on the pattern. See Finds below. I like it best with the tank pictured but this piece was a reject in the capsule. I'm more likely to put pastel colors with midtones like medium faded denim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-my-citron-ankle-pants#post-1667217 Wed, 25 May 2016 22:42:55 +0000 Suz 1667217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful, Joy! I can't wait to see some of these outfit options on you. I don't see any holes and you have explained the apparent duplications. Isn't it amazing how proportion makes such a difference?&nbsp;</p> <p>I am wondering if you want to keep the contrast low like this or if you want to introduce some higher contrast elements? I know your overall look is "light" and you do low contrast outfits incredibly well and elegantly -- just curious!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-my-citron-ankle-pants#post-1667208 Wed, 25 May 2016 22:09:16 +0000 Anonymous 1667208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Sterling. I used to just wear full neutrals and greyed down colors. Ms. Mary and, of course, Angie, have been my inspiration for adding more color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-my-citron-ankle-pants#post-1667207 Wed, 25 May 2016 22:05:35 +0000 Anonymous 1667207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Tanya. You are wonderfully observant. Yes, one pale blue denim jacket is more fitted and cropped than the other. I am trying to keep just one, but use them differently. The gold belts are different widths and one is much more shiny. I should just keep the wider, less shiny one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-my-citron-ankle-pants#post-1667206 Wed, 25 May 2016 22:02:57 +0000 Anonymous 1667206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just wow. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-my-citron-ankle-pants#post-1667205 Wed, 25 May 2016 21:59:21 +0000 Tanya 1667205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful capsule, Joy. I do not see any holes at all. You have two similar gold belts and two pale denim jackets, but I don't know if they serve different purposes - one jacket could be of the right length for the pants and the other for the skirts, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-my-citron-ankle-pants#post-1667202 Wed, 25 May 2016 21:56:01 +0000 Anonymous 1667202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie's post inspired me to do a small capsule for my own citron or light yellow gold ankle pants. I wish that I could like directly to my capsule but will try to put it in Finds on this post. Theses are the items that seemed to work when trying things on. I stuck to white as the neutral. I am posting this in hopes to inspire others to make capsules. Would you make any eliminations? Do you see holes? </p>
