Great use of accessories in each outfit, I think 4 is my favorite for the sparkley collar on the blouse. I agree with Angie - try the sparkle boots with everything!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-capsule-layering#post-1974273 Wed, 14 Nov 2018 06:17:24 +0000 Kate 1974273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am rendered [almost] speechless by #4.

Seeking a better way.</p> <p>KrishNidoux, I will need to be careful with tucking some of these layers into tights or undies so it doesn’t look lumpy. Already I had a few snarls with zippers and fibers getting tangled too...but wearing many layers feels so much more comfy to me, compared to feeling chilly and exposed. I’ll just have to be patient with getting dressed and undressed slowly and carefully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-capsule-layering#post-1974104 Tue, 13 Nov 2018 12:26:17 +0000 unfrumped 1974104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I can’t believe how great these work!<br /> I always need ideas for how to be dressy AND warm without always a typical jacket, or how to wear things more than one way. This is a great outfit lab lesson! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-capsule-layering#post-1974101 Tue, 13 Nov 2018 12:18:44 +0000 Minah Lynn 1974101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything in these pictures are cool and superb! My favorite is the last outfit, though. Wrap around outfits are trendy nowadays.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-capsule-layering#post-1974100 Tue, 13 Nov 2018 12:18:22 +0000 krishnidoux 1974100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh! I SO LOVE these! You do the bold jewelry so well, and with such sense of balance and proportion too.&nbsp;<br />First outfit: ponty earing + pointy toes, it's a nice touch! And what creativity with the skirt under the dress. That is so inspiring, and the final result looks so good too! You found the perfect sweater to layer underneath the suede dress. Personal question: although it doesn't look tight at all, do you find it restricting at all? Bookending your awesome hair one this one with these interesting, cool pointy boots is the genius punk touch. Layering is your way to go! All the pieces here blend so well with one another, they look like they were made to be together.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-capsule-layering#post-1974097 Tue, 13 Nov 2018 12:04:37 +0000 Anonymous 1974097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yaaas!!!!

But I’m trying to not get that crazy. The goal is “interesting, yet still fairly conservative” for my husband’s work events. </p> <p>For my OWN work events, bring on the circus-stripes... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-capsule-layering#post-1974088 Tue, 13 Nov 2018 11:12:55 +0000 Cee 1974088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*Applause* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-capsule-layering#post-1974087 Tue, 13 Nov 2018 11:10:21 +0000 Eva 1974087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jessikams, I think you have a very good eye for combining things in new and interesting ways. Very creative, and the results look great on you! My favourite is #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-capsule-layering#post-1974085 Tue, 13 Nov 2018 10:55:39 +0000 Jessikams 1974085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You all gave me some excellent suggestions on my dressy capsule, and many of them involved ADDing stuff: big jewelry, bold textures, etc. So today I stopped at H&amp;M and bought several things that seemed good for layering or adding detail to the basics that I had. </p> <p>Progress, I think! These outfits are looking much more interesting than the ones I came up with last week. (And warmer too)</p> <p>Below: black lace dress with a sheer lacy skirt added underneath (pic 2) and then a sparkly cropped sweater over the dress (pic1). Blue suede dress layered over a sparkly blue sweater (3). Black jumpsuit layered over a jewel-neck blouse (4). Tried to up the contrast for visuals but it was awfully dark today.</p> <p>Would love to hear any thoughts. Thanks for looking. </p>
