What a great idea to stay focused. Also: May&nbsp;I have everything in your closet?

Just WOW! Maybe this is why my attempt at a capsule failed?? I don't know. I think your PPTs are a work of art! As is your capsule form of dressing.</p> <p><div>I'm pretty eclectic, but gosh, I love how chic your wardrobe is. Moment of envy... maybe I'll smear on some dark plum lipstick a fume for a&nbsp;moment. Just kidding! (You know that dark plum lipstick is going to be a joke for some time. Hehe :D&nbsp;)</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-powerpoint-boards-a-la-carter#post-1454252 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 17:31:49 +0000 Sara L. 1454252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, really impressive! &nbsp;I love seeing everything on one slide.&nbsp; I don't think I have the time or patience but I would love seeing my wardrobe all in one place like this.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-powerpoint-boards-a-la-carter#post-1454241 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 17:13:42 +0000 AM 1454241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Carole:&nbsp;</b>If I was really going to play paper-dolls....well, I just had too do this. And getting dressed this winter was a piece a cake. Thanks.</p> <p><b>fuzzylogic: </b>Seeing the entire capsule at once is huge. This is new for me and I don't think I would use it each day to select an outfit. But definitely helps to access needs and refine style. And what I great idea to take this shopping! Thanks!</p> <p><b>Sadie:&nbsp;</b>I use Powerpoint. I find images online of my clothes or a very, very close item. Then I insert into the document and use the remove background button. I choose images where only the item is shown on a white background. Websites like farfetch.com feature pieces in this format (makes it easy to use the remove background button in PPT). Removing the background allows you to stack the images. I'm happy to help. Let me know if you have questions. Or PM me. I also keep coming back to these as I deliberate on Spring! And thank you.</p> <p><b>Sarah K:&nbsp;</b>Excellent. Looking forward to seeing your capsules! And thank you.</p> <p><b>Ceit:&nbsp;</b>Thanks. I was very focused this fall/winter on new purchases&nbsp;and needed a big refresh. Most of my items were 5-10 years old. And my wardrobe was just to small. I really stuck to limited palette and a mix of long toppers, knits, and skinny/leggings. Now on to spring... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-powerpoint-boards-a-la-carter#post-1454044 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 13:31:49 +0000 Anonymous 1454044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job --- it's lovely to see how your capsules are so well-planned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-powerpoint-boards-a-la-carter#post-1454038 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 13:12:14 +0000 Sarah Kay 1454038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is great!

How exciting to see the entire capsule at once!<br /> Do you use this to help you select an outfit each day?<br /> It would be great to take shopping with you as well- to remind you what that new piece might work with!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-powerpoint-boards-a-la-carter#post-1453916 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 04:38:50 +0000 Carole 1453916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, AM! What a beautifully organized set of capsules! I love how everything is right in one place and how perfectly your pieces coordinate...this must make getting dressed quick and satisfying!

The color combination of black blue and denim with some gray thrown in there is so cozy and well defined. So inspiring too, it really makes me think I should work on capsules... Like Viva, I always feel overwhelmed at the start! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-powerpoint-boards-a-la-carter#post-1453451 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 12:42:25 +0000 viva 1453451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are AMAZING. I'm overwhelmed at the thought of embarking on this kind of effort, but I also feel that having boards like this could be so helpful -- guidance for shopping and dressing. How did you dive in? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-powerpoint-boards-a-la-carter#post-1453359 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 01:17:23 +0000 AM 1453359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>SandyG:&nbsp;</b>Thanks.

Seriously eye-opening! And you can play in my closet if I can play in yours... I'm so tempted to go pull all the spring/summer things out.</p> <p>Do you have accessory slides? And have you created your signature style slides? What other slides do you have? I started a coat slide but ran out of steam. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-powerpoint-boards-a-la-carter#post-1453135 Sun, 08 Mar 2015 15:35:37 +0000 carter 1453135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are fantastic! I could move right into your closet and be deliriously happy! Capturing a whole capsule on one slide is eye-opening, isn't it. In your case, I hope what it shows you is that you have done an extraordinary job of building a working wardrobe. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-powerpoint-boards-a-la-carter#post-1453133 Sun, 08 Mar 2015 15:26:00 +0000 AM 1453133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carter inspired me to press on with my PowerPoint boards in the form of capsule slides. She also suggested that I do a spring signature look slide (not so different then the fall/winter slide). I have to pull some more items out of spring/summer storage but this is how things are shaping up so far.</p> <p>Thank you Carter! This is an eye-opening exercise to see patterns, color palette, variety, silhouettes, volume, gaps, etc. I look forward to using these boards for Carole's "paper-dolls for adults." </p>
