I really appreciate your comments:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-part-2#post-759181 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 22:05:21 +0000 fern 759181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know this is about the combinations, but I wanted to say I love each of your individual items. It was clear with the first set, and again here. I think you have a knack for finding beautiful draping soft-colored clothing. It's all lovely - and it works together.<br /> Very inspiring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-part-2#post-759176 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 21:48:20 +0000 Caro in Oz 759176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you are safe Suz - Angie has posted already......... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-part-2#post-758872 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 13:09:21 +0000 Suz 758872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These colours are stunning on you! But I absolutely identify with your summer-dressing difficulties. I find I have the same problem. The minute I can't wear my beloved jackets, I end up with very. boring. outfits. </p> <p>Yours, however, look smashing and very cool (in both senses of the word.) And now to hide in case Angie gets mad at me for using that "c" word! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-part-2#post-758514 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 21:02:20 +0000 Caro in Oz 758514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Carole. Yes it was hard work but I'm now in the process of doing this for a dressier capsule &amp; an evening one - I think it is getting easier......... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-part-2#post-758248 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 15:05:18 +0000 Carole 758248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a fabulous capsule, Caro! The colors are beautiful on you and you have some really interesting and flattering pieces. This was hard work, wasn't it? But so worth while! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-part-2#post-757742 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 22:40:50 +0000 Caro in Oz 757742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your inspiration Ingunn - it really was a great thing to do.<br /> Thanks rachlou - it's actually a leather belt that is about 5 years old<br /> Thanks Angie - I have new-found respect for you :):) It is so hard to stay focussed while doing this but so worth it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-part-2#post-757734 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 22:31:39 +0000 Angie 757734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>See how easy it is to build a capsule once you get the hang of it :)</p> <p>Brilliant job, Caro! You look absolutely splendid in these colours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-part-2#post-757732 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 22:28:29 +0000 rachylou 757732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in love with your apron thingymabob in the second outfit from the left. Is it an apron? A skirt?</p> <p>Very insightful about greater variety not yielding more outfits. I'll have to remember that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-part-2#post-757636 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 21:17:40 +0000 Ingunn 757636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have been doing a tremenous amount of work, and it is so inspiring to see the result. I agree, the aqua and light grays are beautiful on you, and I also like the softness but still structure in your garments. It is interesting that you've reached the same conclusions as me, more or less: a lot of variety isn't necessarily for the better, and a few garments can go a long way. On the other side, I do love dressing for Summer because our short warm weather weeks are so precious to me. I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-part-2#post-757620 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 21:06:32 +0000 Caro in Oz 757620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-part-2#post-757166 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:15:17 +0000 cheryl 757166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great color choices. You look great. That light/aqua blue just lights you up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-part-2#post-757159 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 14:09:39 +0000 Day Vies 757159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Caro this is Great! I love the navy aqua and white touches. Your tunics are so fabulous, unstructured, full of texture with lots of good strong lines and form. Your outfits evoke the beach but they have enough anchoring (colors and form) to look great day and night. I love it -- I am thoroughly impressed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-part-2#post-757148 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 13:57:24 +0000 Jaime 757148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect colors. I love your grey/silver jackets! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-part-2#post-757135 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 13:46:08 +0000 lyn67 757135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you did so well! Love your silver hair, with those colours!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-part-2#post-757064 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 12:17:30 +0000 Kat 757064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely in all these and I think, after all the work you've done, you've really nailed this idea! Thanks for sharing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-part-2#post-757040 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 11:38:30 +0000 Raisin 757040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits! Light grey and light blue are beautiful colors on you...you should do that combo often! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-part-2#post-757039 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 11:35:57 +0000 Deborah 757039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Caro, this is a wonderful exercise. I really like these combinations. I also really like the colours on you. I relate to how you feel about summer clothes. I feel the same. I get quite bored due to the inability to layer in hot weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-part-2#post-757013 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 09:48:48 +0000 rute 757013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great work! Love those color on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-part-2#post-756999 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 07:35:00 +0000 Caro in Oz 756999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I swapped one pair of jeans for a grey, small check, pair of linen pants. These are some of the combinations I made. The three pictures on the right include two more of my linen jackets, one white &amp; one grey marle, that also work with many of the 10 items in the capsule. I'm just amazed at how many combination I can get for 10 to 12 pieces of clothing.</p> <p>I still have a pair of jeans or slouchy trousers &amp; a skirt to style with the tops, but I think I've done enough. This is working well &amp; I specifically wanted to do this with my linen pieces because apart from my coats these are the only clothes I have that aren't trans-seasonal. I have more linen pants more tops &amp; jackets &amp; several light-weight silk &amp; cotton pieces that work in with this capsule. I think I have a little too much but I usually only wear summer clothes once before washing (the jackets maybe more) so I'm feeling okay about this.</p> <p>Two really interesting (for me) things came out of getting the pieces together for the capsule. </p> <p>1. It was sobering to realise that variety didn't always give me more options.<br /> 2. I realise it is hard for me to dress in summer clothes, they don't seem as interesting as my trans-seasonal clothes.</p> <p>I really want to do this exercise with my dressier clothes &amp; evening clothes too.</p> <p>Part one is here:</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-inspired-by-ariadne-ingunn-mo-long" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....nn-mo-long</a></p> <p>All comments welcome.... </p>
