I'm also loving #3 ☺ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-sorted-and-some-luxury-scores#post-1554032 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 04:27:54 +0000 Brooklyn 1554032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look pretty groovy baby in your pea coat and cap! Love your capsule too. I aspire to be that organised. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-sorted-and-some-luxury-scores#post-1554020 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 04:04:12 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1554020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla, I'm curious. Are you wearing the cropped sweater alone, or over another top? And with pants and skirts, or just skirts? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-sorted-and-some-luxury-scores#post-1553992 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 03:08:38 +0000 JAileen 1553992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your color scheme (very similar to mine - grey, blue and olive) and love your new coat. It looks fantastic on you. Congrats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-sorted-and-some-luxury-scores#post-1553989 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 02:44:36 +0000 Maneera 1553989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the capsule, Carla. Man...you're good at this! That floral skirt is divine...I may be in love! </p> <p>I love that cost too. It's great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-sorted-and-some-luxury-scores#post-1553934 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 01:14:11 +0000 Carla 1553934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey! Thanks for the support! I'm chuffed that you could see beyond the murky iPad photos to understand what I'm aiming for!</p> <p>Dianthus - I would rather cruise a department store and go into a change room with a dozen or more prospective items, than seek out one specific thing. Today's mall set-up and even the boutiques within the larger department stores don't provide the diversity I crave. Winners, with its many different designers-high and low, is like a mini department store or alternatively a budget fashion lab!</p> <p>Suz - IMO modern classic is embraced by some, but a safe fall back for many. Since MC forms the backbone of many a wardrobe, there are proportionally more MC items available. That said, if I had selected the retro autumn coloured plaid corduroy flares (so tempted!), an A-line skirt with appliqués, and a waterfall sweater - it would have been a boho capsule. Fun, but maybe not so appropriate for my work environment!</p> <p>Unfrumped - we are kindred spirits! I think we have different body types, and different aspirations - but deal with a lot of the same issues, and like a lot of the same things! </p> <p>Donnat - the wool Greek fisherman's hat is H&amp;M from ages ago when Madonna did a colab. I have always loved it - particularly when my hair is very short! I have a black beret that I auditioned, and it looks pretty sharpe, too!</p> <p>Jenn - I am usually such a late adopter, that I miss all the deals and steals. After today I am on a long stretch of work and extra curricular demands that there won't be much time for considered shopping until December. I have never pulled the trigger so fast as I did with the pea coat and Longchamps bag! Honestly, I felt faint when I pulled the bag from the mass of other bags on display (the price was that good!) Thanks to time with YLF I know my own mind! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-sorted-and-some-luxury-scores#post-1553875 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 23:44:17 +0000 Jenn 1553875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're SO GOOD, getting your fall/winter capsule all squared away already. This is where I want to be with my closet... a place where I can do some thinking, make a list, and then get the shopping done, so I can get on to the wearing!&nbsp;</p> <p>I can't wait to see the outfits you put together, as I love your color scheme this season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-sorted-and-some-luxury-scores#post-1553869 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 23:40:20 +0000 donnat 1553869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great scores there! Very nice capsule. You look so cute in that hat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-sorted-and-some-luxury-scores#post-1553855 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 23:29:03 +0000 unfrumped 1553855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fabulous capsule! I can see purple accents added to it.<br />The Angie ensemble you posted is one of <u>my</u> favorites also! I have not achieved its perfection but it is my target idea of how all items could mix and match and yet look very differnent, and it was the best eye-opener to "testing" items to see if they would have that versatility. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-sorted-and-some-luxury-scores#post-1553851 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 23:24:49 +0000 Suz 1553851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a gorgeous capsule and fantastic buys from Winners! You did really well.&nbsp;</p> <p>I wonder if the capsule approach comes more naturally to those who also have a modern classic style? It might be easier to pick up items that work within a specific capsule -- I am not sure? Anyway -- it clearly works brilliantly for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-sorted-and-some-luxury-scores#post-1553847 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 23:21:34 +0000 CocoLion 1553847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I admire the discipline and creativity it takes to gather such a focused capsule. &nbsp;Well done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-sorted-and-some-luxury-scores#post-1553846 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 23:21:16 +0000 Jaime 1553846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Peacoat outfit is outstanding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-sorted-and-some-luxury-scores#post-1553828 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 23:03:20 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1553828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really great set and great picks on the new items. I love seeing posts like this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-sorted-and-some-luxury-scores#post-1553819 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 22:53:09 +0000 carter 1553819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Total score! Love the color scheme. Also love the coat and the bag! You don't mess around, do you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-sorted-and-some-luxury-scores#post-1553809 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 22:44:20 +0000 Thistle 1553809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, fab finds!!&nbsp; And such a great capsule!&nbsp; I struggle with those mightily. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-sorted-and-some-luxury-scores#post-1553805 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 22:37:04 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1553805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great capsule Carla. &nbsp;You need to have patience and keep trying to find good items at winners but when you do, they are usually fab finds. &nbsp;I really like this color combo for you and that bag looks gorgeous. &nbsp;I need a new bag and have bag envy now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-sorted-and-some-luxury-scores#post-1553780 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 20:56:01 +0000 Elle 1553780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this color combination. &nbsp;Great buys! &nbsp;I particularly love the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-sorted-and-some-luxury-scores#post-1553773 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 20:42:07 +0000 Carla 1553773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Time spent following YLF has helped me loads with becoming a better shopper and dresser. The ensemble grouping below is one of my all time favourites for inspiration on putting together a capsule! All the forum discussions that make one think - what colours and patterns make me happy, what shapes might suit, what is trending*' and what do I want to experiment with - have informed this capsule.</p> <p>*What doesn't show up well in the picture with mynpost, but what I will be experimenting with this next season are: the flared trousers, the longer pencil (this one is below the knee), the cropped tops (2 of them!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-sorted-and-some-luxury-scores#post-1553764 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 20:23:55 +0000 Susie 1553764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow good job, this looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-sorted-and-some-luxury-scores#post-1553758 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 20:09:49 +0000 abc 1553758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ditto what lisap said! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-sorted-and-some-luxury-scores#post-1553756 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 20:03:22 +0000 Anonymous 1553756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - you made that look so easy! &nbsp;Great score on the bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-sorted-and-some-luxury-scores#post-1553754 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 19:54:54 +0000 Sal 1553754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, success! Love the bag, it looks stunning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-sorted-and-some-luxury-scores#post-1553750 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 19:49:02 +0000 Elly 1553750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun capsule-- can't wait to see you wear it. You definitely scored at Winners! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fw-sorted-and-some-luxury-scores#post-1553748 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 19:46:18 +0000 Carla 1553748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Though we are in the midst of a heat wave, DH and I did a closet sort and some shopping in preparation for the coming F/W season. Capsules work for me, so I shop accordingly. </p> <p>For F/W I'm working with grey, olive, and purple. I was able to pull (grey, purple) from my existing wardrobe, but have added a few new items - mainly the olive clothes, and a pair of grey trousers for work. I picked up a skirt, too, even though I said I wouldn't be getting any more. (In my defence, I retired 2 that were looking tired - so 2 out and 1 in. ). </p> <p>An unexpected bonus of shopping so early in the season are the luxuries I scored (at Winners!). The black wool peacoat is Calvin Klein. There is some cashmere in the mix, so the hand is divine! The Longchamps Neo may just have ended my search for the 'one bag to rule them all'. It is very light and both tote and cross body bag. I nearly pulled the bag apart in order to verify it's authenticity!</p> <p>Olive jacket - Nygard/Sears<br /> Floral skirt - Jules and Leopold/Winners<br /> Grey gored skirt- Jessica/Sears<br /> Grey flares - Express (Editor)<br /> Olive cropped skinnies - d. Jeans/Winners<br /> Olive long sleeved merino wool - Max Studio/Winners<br /> Olive (combat heather) -cotton/nylon cropped sweater - BR<br /> String cotton cropped sweater - BR<br /> Purple long sleeved sweater - unknown ( ancient artifact from my closet)<br /> Mustart draped T - Dante Malan/Winners</p> <p>I'm feeling like all I need are leather gloves, and maybe a scarf or pashmina. </p> <p>Thanks for looking! </p>
