I was talking with a friend this weekend about birdies slippers - have you heard of them? They are basically a dressy version of a house slipper... I thought of you and wondered if they could work for both WFH <b>and</b> cozy footwear?! </p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://birdies.com/pages/about">https://birdies.com/pages/about</a></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-thinking/page/2#post-2055803 Sun, 25 Aug 2019 22:43:44 +0000 The Cat 2055803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your capsule sounds very nice.</p> <p>My cozy-casual items for homewear in winter include:<br /> ● "Elevated," patterned sweetpants styles (At present I have polkadots and leopard print)<br /> ● Pyjamas pants that are so pretty that noone believe they are pj ;-)<br /> ● Jeans. (Usually no problem to stay warm when wearing jeans INDOORS here in my part of Scandinavia. Contrary to the biting outdoor temperatures, our houses are fairly warm. )<br /> ● Turtleneck and crewneck pullovers<br /> ● Thin flannel button-front shirts<br /> ● Coatigans<br /> ● Big scarves/shawls<br /> ● Thin wool socks<br /> ● Birkenstock sandals<br /> ● Ballet flats </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-thinking/page/2#post-2055652 Sun, 25 Aug 2019 03:15:20 +0000 Cee 2055652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and I love the " FI-IC " acronym </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-thinking/page/2#post-2055651 Sun, 25 Aug 2019 03:14:29 +0000 Cee 2055651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We're lucky our winters are not nearly as severe as the poor buggers who live further north ( we still have people getting around in T-shirts, shorts and thongs... THONGS, bah gum !!! ).&nbsp;</p> <p>My cosy at home wear is still jeans, slip-on shoes/boots topped with a knit sweater over a T-shirt or skivvy.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-thinking/page/2#post-2055643 Sun, 25 Aug 2019 02:34:44 +0000 Jaime 2055643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is a very good idea to pay attention to home lounge wear and I want to do that more also. My home look is quite different than my outdoor look, which is fine with me, but I want to be just as satisfied with it. No specific recommendations due to climate and distance disparities but you are well covered already! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-thinking/page/2#post-2055617 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 23:43:09 +0000 Anonymous 2055617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a wonderful idea. Although it doesn’t get super cold here, I tend never to use the heat because it’s too drying &amp; I think having a collection to snuggle down in &amp; be OK if I have to walk out the front door, would be great.<br /> Usually it’s just absolutely old tshirts/sweatshirts and leggings for at home. Blah.<br /> I love the pieces/styles you’re choosing and FIIC, ha!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-thinking/page/2#post-2055602 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 22:58:48 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2055602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Notsaf's not-a-robe is beautiful. Mine is perhaps not quite such a looker, but I feel good in it out &amp; about, and the sleeves (narrow at the cuffs) make it easy to wear at home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-thinking/page/2#post-2055595 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 22:46:21 +0000 Helena 2055595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-thinking/page/2#post-2055584 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 22:12:29 +0000 Angie 2055584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aha! I get it much more now. Thanks for explaining. Makes sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-thinking/page/2#post-2055582 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 22:10:19 +0000 Helena 2055582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're right on the boots ... They are for out and about. The idea is more loungy, but acceptable for public appearance in the depths of winter. Sweats/leggings are much warmer (when thick) than jeans for the depths, e.g. ... Which I'm then not going to wear with my fine knit Merino sweaters ...sweatshirts are great for layering OVER some of my Merino sweaters (at home) etc ... So it is a bit of a hybrid I think ... It's a very niche wardrobe need, I know! But it makes sense for our January/February especially ... As well as for some of the outdoorsy things we do in cooler fall ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-thinking/page/2#post-2055581 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 22:01:56 +0000 Angie 2055581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea and items a lot for your style. </p> <p>I’m a little confused by two things, though. Boots for at home lounging? And this is regular very casual attire that you can wear out. No need to just lounge in it Don’t you have this type of clothing covered in your wardrobe already? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-thinking/page/2#post-2055508 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 14:54:19 +0000 Bijou 2055508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>TG this winter I have been wearing a white knit with stars on the sleeve and my white pants with a black stripe - really just a stretchy track pant. The effect is not so glam on me because I wear them with Ugg boots rather than heels - but I am toasty warm and comfy. If I have to pop out to the shops, I wear a my matchy ankle boots. All items in Finds.</p> <p>I really like what you have picked and don't think your collection is excessive given how long your winter is.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-thinking/page/2#post-2055494 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 13:24:11 +0000 notsaf 2055494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One more recommendation for a robe-that-is-not-a-robe! </p> <p>I got this cardigan coat from J Crew in camel last winter and lived in it at home. Cute enough to warrant compliments on the occasions I did take it out and about and supremely comfy. If they restock this fall, I can't recommend it enough! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-thinking/page/2#post-2055477 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 11:47:37 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2055477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>TG, no, thank you. I wanted to go see castles for my birthday (which entails a little hike) didn't get up the umph in the dreary weather, so my son has said I get a redo today--but I must get some tasks done and get going--you have rebooted that effort. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-thinking/page/2#post-2055475 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 11:38:12 +0000 Helena 2055475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for all the input!<br /> Sarah, I'm usually not quite so quick on the draw lol ... The mall trip was for my kids, but Roots so happened to have the sale on, and the sweatshirt was SUCH a pretty pink ....<br /> FI, thanks for that perspective ... I always feel so boring compared to the cityfolk ha ... Good to be reminded of my own blessings </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-thinking/page/2#post-2055453 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 07:57:59 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2055453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny how our minds work in such different ways. I see this kind of capsule as a way to avoid "putting on yoga pants and never taking them off again" I put together a little putz-around-the-house capsule (I usually just call it my pajamas, even though I don't sleep in it) last winter and won't mind putting it on at all this fall. I'm envious that your lifestyle includes cottage visits and weekend hikes, would love to do enough of that kind of stuff to need clothes just for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-thinking/page/2#post-2055450 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 07:31:44 +0000 LaPed 2055450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a big fan of having a solid at-home capsule. Your picks look great, and it sounds like you were mega-efficient in your shopping!! Definitely take a look at LLBean, especially for cable-knit sweaters. Flannel and chamois shirts too, if that interests you. Chamois shirts are great because they're solid colour *and* thicker/warmer than most flannel.</p> <p>It's taken me several years to build up a little capsule of joggers and hoodies (some from Patagonia and some from Everlane), flannel shirts (LLBean and Patagonia), and soft long-sleeve cotton tees (Boden and Uniqlo). I have used a pair of Allbirds Loungers as my house shoes for two winters but they're on the way out; eying a pair of Glerups to replace them...</p> <p>I made a little project of creating a hot-weather lounge capsule this year by adding four boxy cotton camis and two pairs of wide leg pull-on pants in a gauzy cotton weave. There have been some muggy days this summer when I couldn't stand the idea of pulling on french terry pants even first thing in the morning, so it's proving to be a very useful capsule! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-thinking/page/2#post-2055337 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 00:48:00 +0000 Gretchen 2055337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes to polished home clothes! I put some effort into it last year and found that my sunday-hibernation outfit tended to be leggings with a long sleeve tee and a warm cardigan. If I planned to leave the house, I'd be in jeans and a sweatshirt or a cashmere sweater.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you are looking for snuggly wear, have you tried Barefoot Dreams? Their circle cardigan is my go to extra layer for chilly mornings.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/barefoot-dreams-cozychic-lite-circle-cardigan/5391896?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;breadcrumb=Home%2FAll%20Results&amp;color=black">https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/b.....keywordsea</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-thinking/page/2#post-2055336 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 00:47:49 +0000 SarahD8 2055336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>torontogirl</b> did you just...throw out some thoughts on this thread this morning, head out to the shops, and assemble most of your capsule in less than a day???? I'm in awe! (Seriously, I am such a wheel-spinner. Really well done!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-thinking/page/2#post-2055314 Fri, 23 Aug 2019 22:44:26 +0000 Sal 2055314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is a good idea. Merino is great as it is warm but light. I think you want the cosy on the couch but if you decide to head out to a cafe you throw on a coat and boots and a hat and look stylish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-thinking/page/2#post-2055299 Fri, 23 Aug 2019 21:15:28 +0000 Anonymous 2055299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My most&nbsp;comfortable winter pieces are sweater dresses.&nbsp;If it is really cold, an alpaca cardigan can be worn on top.&nbsp; I avoid leggings and even tights unless they are the best choice for the look.&nbsp; A couple of years ago I picked up a grey cashmere open cardi topper and grey cashmere pull on pants to be warm and cozy.&nbsp; I have yet to wear them.&nbsp; That is a good thing because it means I am getting out and about in winter and have not been sick.&nbsp; My feet can get cold, so warm lined slippers are important for inside and lots of wool socks.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-thinking#post-2055298 Fri, 23 Aug 2019 20:50:35 +0000 Sara L. 2055298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your plan is a good one.&nbsp; I did exactly this a couple winters ago although I wasn't as organized about it as you.&nbsp; I wanted comfy clothes for lounging around the house in the winter but also wanted to still look nice and avoid the yoga pant/fleece sweatshirt trap.&nbsp; I'm much happier with my winter casual wardrobe since I made a concentrated effort to find warm comfy outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-thinking#post-2055297 Fri, 23 Aug 2019 20:28:56 +0000 Helena 2055297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Roxanna I will! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-thinking#post-2055294 Fri, 23 Aug 2019 20:18:04 +0000 Roxanna 2055294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Helena - check or mpgsport.ca. I refreshes my winter lounge/weekend capsule from them a couple of years back on the advice of Lisa and the pieces have been hard wearing and quality. And so many of the items are so cheap right now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-thinking#post-2055293 Fri, 23 Aug 2019 20:07:53 +0000 Helena 2055293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay stylefan!!</p> <p>Lisa, I grabbed one pair of skinny sweatpants, the Navy salt and pepper ones. I also grabbed a tunic sweatshirt at Old Navy, which I wasn't expecting, but it was so soft and just the right pale pink. Uniqlo had some nice things too but I didn't have time to look properly ... And I'm sure Roots and Gap will pick up over the next few weeks. Maybe aritzia too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-thinking#post-2055292 Fri, 23 Aug 2019 20:01:52 +0000 Anonymous 2055292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I popped into Roots today - and you're right: &nbsp;anniversary sale with sweatshirts bottoms at good prices. Problem was it was really picked over, and also packed with moms and kids - and nothing jumped out at me. &nbsp;Their sweats, while super comfy, are inherently VERY unflattering on me. &nbsp;Make me look like the side of a hockey arena (not a barn, it's going to be winter after all ) . &nbsp;Went into Gap - no fleece stuff out at all yet. Lost interest after that and went home. &nbsp; I might try Gap Outlet and Roots Outlet this weekend. Where else does one get this stuff? &nbsp;AE &nbsp;I can't deal with any more. Just too young and out of touch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-thinking#post-2055290 Fri, 23 Aug 2019 19:54:15 +0000 Style Fan 2055290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>L L Bean opens today in Oakville Place.&nbsp; I am excited.&nbsp; :)&nbsp; My winter capsule will be looking much better this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-thinking#post-2055271 Fri, 23 Aug 2019 18:00:31 +0000 Liesbeth 2055271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You seem to have struck a nerve here! I would also like to upgrade my loungewear (especially that hybrid capsule that also gets worn outdoors), over 2 year after baby I no longer want to wear my same old saggy joggers and basic sleeve vest weekend after weekend... yet I never find the discipline to put some budget aside for loungewear :p.<br /> Your ideas sound great. I’m not a leggings person myself except under dresses, so I’m forever looking for comfy joggers that look better than joggers typically do. And ideally I’d get a matching fleece or otherwise warm vest that’s warm, soft and easy to launder (so defs not cashmere). I’d love something teddy-lined ...<br /> Before baby I had a stylish lounge uniform of leggings + sweater dresses, but I stopped wearing them when breastfeeding and now I’m no longer into sack or sweater dresses that way. But I had a grey fleece lined sweater dress with a subtle leopard print that felt just edgy enough for me.<br /> On a different note: I’m also moving away from grey after having amassed a ton of it. Imo, grey with blush or burgundy/wine still looks very classy though. </p>
