The contrasting blues make me SO happy! I think you already know what I'm going to say but I'll say it anyway. I love blues and whites together. I will never get tired of the look I also love the contrast of textures (lace tee + pleated skirt). I never tire of a defined waist, great fit, crisp jackets, and neutral modern footwear. This is a fabulous blue and white capsule. Of course I am marking it as a favorite </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-smart-casual-ink-and-white#post-1259941 Sat, 24 May 2014 09:39:47 +0000 Ingunn 1259941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good morning,</p> <p>Here's what I've taken away from your responses on this capsule</p> <ol> <li>The color scheme is right for me, so I should wear it more often</li> <li>The patterned top is great for tying together blue and white in an outfit</li> <li>The white blazer is too long for the skirt</li> <li>The white blazer works well with the white jeans</li> <li>An all-white outfit is ALWAYS great - but we already knew that, didn't we :)</li> </ol> <p>Thank you for taking time to respond, everybody, this has been very interesting to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-smart-casual-ink-and-white#post-1259613 Fri, 23 May 2014 22:03:35 +0000 Ingunn 1259613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for giving such accurate feedback, Aida, I highly appreciate it!

Loads of options with this one, incredible.</p> <p>#1 - all good!</p> <p>#2 - I like the booties with 2b and 2c, with 2a it looks a bit heavy with the sleeveless top. Perhaps if it's untucked so the whole thing has a more breezy boho vibe?</p> <p>#3 - all good!</p> <p>#4 - all good. I really like the diagonal in #4c, especially with the long blazer. Really fun lines in that outfit.</p> <p>#5 - all good. Really like how that blue top looks untucked with the short ink jacket.</p> <p>#6 - b and c look great. a, I am not too sure about the untucked shirt. I think it's just a touch too long. I'd try tucking the front in and leaving the back out so you've got the structure in front.</p> <p>#7 - all FAB and the first two make my heart flutter!</p> <p>#8 - first two look great (esp. that first one!!) but I think the blazer in 8c is just too long.</p> <p>#9 - all good!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-smart-casual-ink-and-white#post-1259454 Fri, 23 May 2014 18:44:37 +0000 Ingunn 1259454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear Ramya, you are way too modest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-smart-casual-ink-and-white#post-1259369 Fri, 23 May 2014 17:07:48 +0000 ramya 1259369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn love that cream top.

I think you are right - this capsule completely covers my need for a late spring/early summer smart capsule.&nbsp;</p> <p>Diane, you are so sweet. Thanks!</p> <p>Suz, thank you for elaborating. I agree, the white blazer does in fact feel more current now than it did a year ago. Fun!</p> <p>Carole, how nice to see you again! I've missed you.&nbsp;</p> <p>IK, that is so kind of you. Thank you very much.</p> <p>Karie, I'd love to come over! We would have a blast, and lots to talk about, I'm sure.</p> <p>Alassë, I can't express how grateful I am for your detailed assessment. I'm going to work my way through it and learn.&nbsp;</p> <p>Angie, thank you so much! Your feedback&nbsp;means a lot to me. You are always so generous and supportive:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-smart-casual-ink-and-white#post-1259306 Fri, 23 May 2014 15:38:01 +0000 Angie 1259306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer Stunning Brilliant, Queen Capsule. This is sooooo your look, that you wear with verve and sass from top to toe. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-smart-casual-ink-and-white#post-1259300 Fri, 23 May 2014 15:29:38 +0000 Alassë 1259300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1st triad: Great proportions in 1, blazer may be too short in 2, and white blazer works imo in 3. Favorite combo: 1, because it's minimal and matchy matchy.</p> <p>2nd triad: Great proportions in 1, pretty good&nbsp;in 2 (can you untuck a little with the top? I almost want to see it not quite as cropped), and white blazer too long for skirts imo&nbsp;in 3. Favorite combo: 1, because of its simplicity.</p> <p>3rd triad: I'd like the top a touch longer in 1, you nailed the proportion in 2 (white blazer definitely works), and I think 3 works as well. Favorite combo: 1 &amp; 2, because of cohesive colour scheme/minimalism/classy impact.</p> <p>4th triad: I'd like the top a touch shorter in 1, you nailed the proportions in 2, and I don't personally like the white/cream mix in 3. Favorite combo: 2, because of the deep blues together.</p> <p>5th triad: The proportions in&nbsp;all three work. Favorite combo: 1, because it's minimal and matchy matchy.</p> <p>6th triad: I'd like the top a touch shorter in 1, and the proportions work in 2-3. Favorite combo: 3, because of how you pulled off the juxtaposition of so many elements.</p> <p>7th triad: You nailed the proportions in 1-2, and I don't personally like the white/cream mix in 3. Favorite combo: 2, because the blazer + lace top + all white is so pretty.</p> <p>8th triad: What about adding your blue belt in 1, and you nailed the proportions in 2-3. Favorite combos: 2 &amp; 3, because of the matching + high contrast&nbsp;in 2 and the cream/white texture mix&nbsp;in 3.</p> <p>9th triad: What about adding your blue belt in 1, the sheath seems a bit short for the blazer&nbsp;in 2, and the white blazer seems too long in 3. Favorite combo: 2, because of the colour mix.</p> <p>My apologies for the huge post, Ingunn! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-smart-casual-ink-and-white#post-1259297 Fri, 23 May 2014 15:29:25 +0000 Karie 1259297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMGoodness, Ingunn, this is fabulous! Please come to my house and create outfit capsules from my closet&nbsp;for me :)<br />I do agree with the others that the white blazer is a tad too long for the pleated skirt. Other than that, I love ALL of these - can't even pick a fav.&nbsp;<br />Go team ink blue and white! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-smart-casual-ink-and-white#post-1259289 Fri, 23 May 2014 15:11:17 +0000 ironkurtin 1259289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in awe.&nbsp; Every outfit looks different!&nbsp; And you look wonderful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-smart-casual-ink-and-white#post-1259279 Fri, 23 May 2014 15:01:44 +0000 Carole 1259279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been MIA for a while and realized after seeing this post how much I have been missing...love your capsules and this one is so inspiring. You are a master. Loving the bright blue accents here, just gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-smart-casual-ink-and-white#post-1259266 Fri, 23 May 2014 14:53:00 +0000 Suz 1259266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such a brilliant and never-fail colour combo. To my eye it just screams spring/ summer, and I love it!&nbsp;</p> <p>These are all terrific looks. My favourites are 3 in picture 1 (with the white blazer) -- because the slightly oversize fit there feels current and I like the proportion.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love 2 in #2 for reasons of proportion, also - the shorter jacket seems better with the pleated skirt. All the looks in picture 3 works to my eye but my fave is #2.</p> <p>I love 3 in picture 5 perhaps because of the gradient of colour or the unexpected pairing of the tee with the ladylike jacket. Fun.&nbsp;</p> <p>Total love for 2 in picture 7.&nbsp;</p> <p>Brilliant capsule and I hope you'll wear some of these!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-smart-casual-ink-and-white#post-1259252 Fri, 23 May 2014 14:43:44 +0000 Anonymous 1259252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your best ever Ingunn!

I could see where you could just wear this capsule for a whole season. I have a soft spot for the more casual of course so I do love #1 and #5 in particular&nbsp; (esp with the dark jacket)&nbsp;but they are all stunning on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-smart-casual-ink-and-white#post-1259162 Fri, 23 May 2014 13:33:59 +0000 Ingunn 1259162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! Double posting! Shannon, I trust your judgement completely, and you are the second one mentioning the length of the blazer. I think you have a point. I was hoping that the skirt would reign in enough for a slim silhouette, but I guess it didn't.&nbsp;</p> <p>Dustt, NDMom and Golden, thank you! The print top was the catalyst for the entire capsule.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-smart-casual-ink-and-white#post-1259159 Fri, 23 May 2014 13:32:32 +0000 Golden 1259159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 7 &amp; 9 the best but all are great!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-smart-casual-ink-and-white#post-1259155 Fri, 23 May 2014 13:30:30 +0000 NDMom 1259155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow....you look amazing in all of these outfits! &nbsp;Well-done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-smart-casual-ink-and-white#post-1259153 Fri, 23 May 2014 13:30:11 +0000 Ingunn 1259153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>missvee, thank you for your honesty! I'm really puzzled by that blazer. To me, it looks like ones I've seen on Pinterest and such, but it is maybe a bit too boxy after all. I agree that it might be a bit too long for the skirt, but I'd LOVE to make it work. I'm curious about what others might have to add.</p> <p>Tracey, Shevia, Vivian - thank you for your kind words.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-smart-casual-ink-and-white#post-1259149 Fri, 23 May 2014 13:27:53 +0000 dustt 1259149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>so lovely - all of them!! - but I'd have to say my favs are all the ones that use that print top - it is eye catching, modern and ladylike all rolled into one perfect top!! it especially sings with short blue jacket and the white jeans!!! - perfect compliment to your skin &amp; hair!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-smart-casual-ink-and-white#post-1259147 Fri, 23 May 2014 13:27:33 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1259147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OH MY GOODNESS!!! This capsule is brilliant Ingunn! Ink and white are gorgeous on you and the combinations you have come up with all work really well IMHO. My only comment is that I wonder if the white blazer is a bit too long for the pleated skirt? The proportions seem a wee bit off to me with that combination. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-smart-casual-ink-and-white#post-1259144 Fri, 23 May 2014 13:24:54 +0000 Vivian 1259144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you have an amazing capsule, love the colors.

You have a wonderful talent for mix and match. I really like the white blazer with the navy dress or the white jeans. It looks a bit too long with the pleated skirt to my eye, but take that with a grain of salt :-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-smart-casual-ink-and-white#post-1259131 Fri, 23 May 2014 13:12:10 +0000 Ingunn 1259131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, sarah and LACeleste!&nbsp;</p> <p>Mona, thank you:) The skirt is a new addition from Zarah, I bought it last month. The blazer is thrifted, I bought it a year ago, but I struggle a bit with it. I would definitely wear a lot of these outfits in spring/summer for work and for going out. For very warm temps (scarce here), I would probably not wear a topper, and maybe not jeans either. I have in fact worn a few of these combinations already.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-smart-casual-ink-and-white#post-1259124 Fri, 23 May 2014 13:04:34 +0000 Mona 1259124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You took my breath away with this capsule. How do you do this? Each piece is fabulous on its own and thrown together they are just perfect. To my untrained eye, the proportions look perfect. May be more experienced fabbers can comment more objectively.&nbsp;<br />Are the skirt and blazer new additions to your spring wardrobe? Also, would you actually wear this capsule in spring and summer?&nbsp; </p>
