It just makes it easier to follow! I think it may be too late for that though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-is-back#post-130126 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 05:52:44 +0000 LoP 130126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So chic, Jenny. I'm sure you'll do fine for your presentations the rest of the week! </p> <p>I've just poster mine as well. Should we start a separate thread for all these challenge links per day? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-is-back#post-130052 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 02:03:47 +0000 JennyK (NC) 130052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First day's outfit posted!</p> <p><a href="http://wp.me/pJZkj-4R" rel="nofollow">http://wp.me/pJZkj-4R</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-is-back#post-129990 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 23:08:42 +0000 Dawn 129990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just finished planning my wardrobe. I decided to randomly pick out an outfit today and build my other four outfits around today's outfit. I'm looking forward to tomorrow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-is-back#post-129932 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 18:40:52 +0000 Sam 129932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i am wearing outfit number one, and will be posting it to my blog tonight or tomorrow morning.<br /> i want to take photos of all the pieces i am using too.<br /> i think i am actually going to manage to make 5 outfits that are very different from one another!<br /> or maybe i am just overly-hopeful. :)<br /> check out my blog for updates! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-is-back#post-129749 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 05:27:47 +0000 LoP 129749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like I'll be able to play along this week. I didn't think my schedule would allow it, but I was able to plan outfits. Fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-is-back#post-129624 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 01:58:33 +0000 JennyK (NC) 129624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just finished planning out my outfits. Here's a preview: I'll be wearing the same black skirt every single day next week with the possible exception of Friday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-is-back#post-129589 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 00:23:42 +0000 bella 129589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am bumping this thread! The challenge starts tomorrow. You still have tonight to figure out your capsule. I am looking forward to seeing your outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-is-back#post-129429 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 18:03:58 +0000 Kari 129429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will be participating again for sure. I have to figure out my "capsule" tonight. It weather-friendly items (like a coat &amp; warm scarf) are actually not part of the 10 items, that will definitely make this challenge easier than last time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-is-back#post-129400 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 16:23:41 +0000 bella 129400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a great list Theresa. I can't wait to see what you come up with.<br /> The best way to post your challenge outfits on the forum would be to start a new thread with the title "wardrobe capsule challenge - theresa". You can either post each outfit daily as you wear them or post a round-up at the end of the week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-is-back#post-129392 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 15:48:47 +0000 RoseandJoan 129392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I admire so much the people who are able to do this challenge. I have the occasional business formal day, some business casual days, and then MOTG days. I simple would not know where to start. Good luck to anyone who does participates. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-is-back#post-129349 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 10:59:21 +0000 Theresa 129349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, well its Sunday night here in Aus, so tomorrow morning I'll be starting the challenge!</p> <p>I just wanted to write my list of capsule items out.</p> <p>1 pair of earrings - silver hoops<br /> 1 bag - grey ruffled<br /> 1 belt - black - needed to hold skirt up<br /> 2 necklaces - 1 red, 1 multicoloured.</p> <p>2 dresses - 1 black, 1 black print<br /> 1 skirt - straight denim<br /> 1 pair of jeans</p> <p>3 tops - 1 tunic, 1 blue, 1 white &amp; black<br /> 1 cami - black - may be worn as top by itself when not doing school pick ups and drop offs so figured I should count it!</p> <p>1 pair of shoes - black flat sandals</p> <p>So i think that comes to 5 accessories and 9 items of clothing/shoes. If I didn't have to go to hospital to visit my nan tomorrow, I would have been able to cut out the jeans (I freeze in hospitals LOL).</p> <p>From the planning perspective, i found limiting accessories the hardest bit...</p> <p>Can't wait to see how the week goes!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-is-back#post-129100 Sat, 27 Feb 2010 16:32:01 +0000 bella 129100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Theresa - Yes, WCC is more of challenge in the winter when you need wear multiple layers. But just give it a shot for the fun of it.<br /> Queenie - That's definitely the most difficult way of completing this challenge. Giving some thought to what you want to wear ahead of time makes it easier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-is-back#post-128960 Sat, 27 Feb 2010 01:48:55 +0000 Queen Mum 128960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Theresa- it's not like you'll get black-balled or anything. give it a whirl and see what you come up with.</p> <p>I think I'll try to play along, not sure what my 10 items will be. I might just start the week off and when I reach 10 items figure out a way to get through the rest of the week LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-is-back#post-128958 Sat, 27 Feb 2010 01:29:04 +0000 Theresa 128958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually on thinking on it more... I don't know how to do this with needing so few elements to each day without feeling like a fraud LOL</p> <p>I mean I could pick a couple of dresses and just change the accessories/shoes, or i could pick a couple of bottoms and some tops to mix &amp; match, but I can't really go adding layers to things to change the looks etc... I guess I'm thinking of say adding a top to a dress to make it look skirt &amp; top ish etc - I can't do that cos its too hot.</p> <p>Any suggestions on how to do this in Summer, or should I perhaps just do a challenge like this when its a bit cooler and i can actually challenge myself? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-is-back#post-128918 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 23:23:19 +0000 Theresa 128918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Count me in too - it will be a good learning exercise for me as a beginner to make things work...</p> <p>Although I have the advantage of it being hot so I could theoretically have a different dress for each day LOL But I will try not to </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-is-back#post-128828 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 19:26:46 +0000 Dawn 128828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm definitely on for it! It might kick me out of the wardrobe existentialist crisis mood that I've been in for the last two weeks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-is-back#post-128818 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 18:29:59 +0000 AJ 128818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Challenge accepted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-is-back#post-128723 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 12:56:32 +0000 An 128723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, not sure if my wardrobe is functional enough for this but I'll give it a go!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-is-back#post-128590 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 01:14:15 +0000 bella 128590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's nice to see so many takers!<br /> As for shoes:<br /> "Remember that for those of us in colder climes your are allowed a functional coat, weather-friendly shoes, warm hat, scarf and gloves which will not count as part of your ten items." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-is-back#post-128587 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 00:53:10 +0000 Kristine 128587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought this sounded easy until I realized you included SHOES! Ok, I'll try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-is-back#post-128583 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 00:14:37 +0000 JennyK (NC) 128583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This actually sounds perfect for me because I"m in the middle of a move and it would simplify my life so much to only have to keep out a set number of items! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-is-back#post-128581 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 00:05:15 +0000 April 128581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my -- I might have to wait until it's warmer.
