Some dressier pencil skirts, or whatever shape suits you, would be a nice addition. And more tops that you can wear with the skirt or your pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ideas-for-a-dressy-capsule#post-1441402 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 14:51:57 +0000 Author Linda 1441402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second the embellished shell. Also, if you live in a cooler climate, consider a stunning cashmere or merino&nbsp;sweater with a neckline that flatters you. Some of those are amazing and look absolutely elegant for a winter night at the theater. Nice pants, some smart boots, maybe a great belt or earrings,&nbsp;and you're good to go.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ideas-for-a-dressy-capsule#post-1441380 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 14:31:57 +0000 AM 1441380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tux pants/jacket/shirt with heels? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ideas-for-a-dressy-capsule#post-1441375 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 14:23:11 +0000 Emily 1441375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dressy capsule items are the most fun! &nbsp;I like the idea of adding more separates that you could dress up or down. &nbsp;A&nbsp;silky blouse like torontogirl suggests,&nbsp;a shell top with some embellishment, maybe a skirt? &nbsp;What about a pair of fun shoes? &nbsp;Do you have some toppers that work with your dressy items? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ideas-for-a-dressy-capsule#post-1441344 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 13:22:25 +0000 Helena 1441344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Summer, sounds like you've got a great capsule started ... perhaps a silky blouse or two to go with the pants? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ideas-for-a-dressy-capsule#post-1441316 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 11:33:22 +0000 Summer 1441316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, Ladies,</p> <p>I need to create a small dressy/dressier capsule to supplement my smart-casual wardrobe. &nbsp;I don't need anything too glitzy or glamorous, just a few interesting pieces to take me to the theatre or a nice restaurant.</p> <p>I already have a navy lace dress, nude heels, nude and navy clutch bags and smart black trousers, plus silky scarves, pearl earrings &nbsp;and various pendants and cuff bracelets.</p> <p>Your ideas would be much appreciated.</p> <p>TIA</p> <p>Summer<br />&nbsp;</p>
