You would never know this was a capusle wardrobe. Thanks for showing us how color can be versatile in a small wardrobe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-kari#post-100169 Fri, 09 Oct 2009 04:58:34 +0000 Kari 100169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much, Tam, Danja, and Medusa! I really had a blast trying this out for the first time even thought it was tricky. I had a lot of fun with color and I'm glad that it shows. Medusa, feel free to steal away with the light-weight tee under the sheath dress! It definitely kept me warmer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-kari#post-100097 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 21:01:33 +0000 medusa 100097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, I haven't read all the capsule wardrobe posts yet but I have to say that yours is AMAZING! The other comments are right - your use of color is fantastic. I love the lightweight T under the CE sheath dress, I am so stealing that idea.</p> <p>Way to ROCK the challenge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-kari#post-99964 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 14:43:15 +0000 Danja 99964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are another capsule master, and I bow to you!

I love your use of colour - colour is fun!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-kari#post-99666 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 03:59:21 +0000 Kari 99666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the warm and encouraging comments! Yeah, I guess I can't go a week without wearing lots of bright colors. I guess that's just one of the things that has unintentionally become my style over time, but it makes me feel cheerful to have something bright on my body. Maybe that's silly, but it gets me through the day.</p> <p>Kellygirl, you are too sweet - thank you! I've never quite got over being self-conscious of my smile after years of bad teeth and braces, so your compliment really felt great to hear. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-kari#post-99312 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 15:16:33 +0000 Tanya 99312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Kati, you did an amazing job!

I've been so impressed with everyone and their capsule challenges. You join the ranks of stylish with a small closet. I love that this shows that a small closet is doable and that you can get so many different looks out of a few items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-kari#post-99291 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:59:48 +0000 chewyspaghetti 99291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did a great job Kari- at least you wore different colors LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-kari#post-99283 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:25:18 +0000 RoseandJoan 99283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, you look fabulous and make tailoring look beautiful and comfortable too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-kari#post-99279 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:07:19 +0000 Anonymous 99279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exceptional! As the others said, your use of color is marvelous. I also am especially drawn to the grey and mustard combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-kari#post-99261 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 04:50:45 +0000 Kari 99261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Bella, Taylor, and Ana! I'm not sure how well I created 5 *very* different looks, but I appreciate the compliment! I think I just listed my "basics" that I couldn't really get through the week without - a vest, a dress, a scarf, and boots - and tried to see how many different looks I could create using them with different colors. I was also very glad that the sheath dress has turned out to be more versatile than I first imagined. </p> <p>Ana, I don't know that I have tried mustard and gray before, but I love the combination now, especially with red. Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-kari#post-99146 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 15:15:34 +0000 Ana 99146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Kari! I love how you layered the sheath dress over a fitted top on day one. What a great idea to get more use out it! Nice boots, too. Days two and three are super. I like the mustard blazer and grey skirt combo. I love mustard and grey. I love the purple necklace from Day four, and how you've totally remixed everything for Day five. Very creative!</p> <p>I also really like your blog. It's very clean and easy to read which I'm learning is not necessarily an easy thing to accomplish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-kari#post-99051 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 00:19:30 +0000 taylor 99051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari,</p> <p>As usual your use of color is AMAZING....you are a master at this...nice layering on the sheath dress:) You look beautiful each day!</p> <p>Like Bella, I can't believe only 10 items </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-kari#post-99011 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 20:55:43 +0000 bella 99011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, your outfits look soo different from one another. If I didn't know you were doing the capsule challenge I would have never guessed that you only had 10 items to work with. What is the very secret? seriously, I am very impressed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-kari#post-99008 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 20:51:14 +0000 Kari 99008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I played along with the capsule wardrobe challenge this week, too. I wasn't terribly innovative or stylish compared to a lot of the challenge responses I've seen, but I had a lot of fun learning how to be creative with a small wardrobe. It was a fun challenge, but I'm looking forward to having a wider range of clothes to choose from next week!</p> <p><a href="http://inkariswardrobe.blogspot.com/2009/09/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-day-1.html">Day 1</a></p> <p><a href="http://inkariswardrobe.blogspot.com/2009/09/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-day-2-3.html">Day 2 &amp; 3</a></p> <p><a href="http://inkariswardrobe.blogspot.com/2009/10/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-day-4.html">Day 4</a></p> <p><a href="http://inkariswardrobe.blogspot.com/2009/10/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-day-5.html">Day 5</a></p> <p>Throughout the week I wore:<br /> Clothes<br /> 1.
