I fell in love with that color combination throughout the challenge week too - although I'd ready to wear different colors next week.<br /> It was fun to rely on pussycat bow blouses as an alternative tol scarves to add a bit of feminine flair/detail around my neck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-spring-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-131980 Sun, 07 Mar 2010 23:37:10 +0000 Dawn 131980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow! I love your capsule wardrobe and that you took a risk in your colour combinations! You can converted me over to purple and red together. Your capsule also really shows how well pussy bow blouse add femininity to a LBD and other structured clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-spring-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-131972 Sun, 07 Mar 2010 23:17:22 +0000 Theresa 131972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oooh thanks for that Kari - I had a pair of Chinese Laundry shoes YEARS ago and really liked them, so its no surprise I like those red ones then LOL</p> <p>Will have to see if I can find something similar to them both over here in Aus... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-spring-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-131916 Sun, 07 Mar 2010 20:05:03 +0000 Kari 131916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Theresa!</p> <p>By the way, the black Clarks are the booties that are in the YLF store, and I know they are still available. I *think* they are also on sale currently at the Clarks store (if you visit a brick-and-mortar store &amp; don't just go through their Zappos-powered website.)</p> <p>The red CL by Laundry pair is a couple years old, but I believe that <a href="//www.endless.com/Chinese-Laundry-Ivanna-Casa-Kid/dp/B002GPXED2/ref=sr_1_25/?cAsin=B002GPXE5K&amp;fromPage=search&amp;qid=1267992140789&amp;sr=1-25&amp;asins=B002MB8CAA,B002GVDQ48,B0017HM23I,B002GVDC9M,B002MBHHCE,B002MB8D2C,B002GVDR9C,B00263J92Y,B002MBAH8K,B0023RS64A,B002MBE8JO,B001DYQOF2,B0023RS5ZK,B0023RS5PK,B001W6RS7O,B001W6RSB0,B001UV3E06,B001W6RXLA,B001OC5M9M,B001OC5MOM,B001OC5NDC,B001AAYJLK,B001OC5N8C,B001W6RTIC,B002GPXE5K,B001DYKPV6,B002MBHI1O,B001OC5MJW,B001OC5MRO,B001W6RTQE,B002GVDG34,B002GPVHTA,B001W6RX88,B002GV7GGC,B001W6RWOI,B002GPZ2FA,B001OC5NMI,B00263J8NY,B002GVB532,B002GPXE14&amp;asinTitle=CL%20by%20Chinese%20Laundry%20Ivanna%20Casa%20Kid%20Pump&amp;contextTitle=search%20results&amp;page=1&amp;size=40&amp;dept=242169011&amp;node=242169011&amp;nodes=242169011&amp;brands=CL%20by%20Chinese%20Laundry&amp;sort=shoesbrowserel2">this is the updated version of that shoe</a>. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-spring-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-131673 Sun, 07 Mar 2010 00:20:05 +0000 Theresa 131673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMGoodness I want those red shoes!!! Actually your black ones too please LOL</p> <p>I really like Day 4 - the colours are so happy. What a great week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-spring-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-131609 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 17:56:09 +0000 Kari 131609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I'll try to wear them more often - thank you!</p> <p>Marianna, the Sweet Pea top was at the Nordstrom Rack. It was about $9. It's actually kind of an odd style - very open on the shoulders and cut close to the neck, and nearly tunic-length - so if I wore it without something on top, I'd need to wear a strapless bra. But I love that it works well for layering.</p> <p>Thank you Alecia, Louise, and Taylor! I had a blast wearing colors that were a bit different from my norm, and yes, the denim AT skirt is absolutely an essential staple within my wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-spring-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-131448 Sat, 06 Mar 2010 00:14:09 +0000 taylor 131448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, you are killing me. So pretty are bright colors on you!!! The AT denim skirt... FAB on you:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-spring-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-131360 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 18:17:23 +0000 Louise 131360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous week x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-spring-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-131333 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 16:02:09 +0000 Alecia 131333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your week. I especially think you used color beautifully. They are a bit of a departure from your usual colors. Lovely. I think you did a great job of implementing the hot purple/red combo, too. I wonder myself how to avoid the red hat lady syndrome, but I think you've done it well. Key is wearing clothes with a modern feel, which you did in spades. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-spring-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-131325 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 15:20:16 +0000 marianna 131325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! Where did you find that amazing Sweet Pea top? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-spring-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-131288 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 07:04:48 +0000 Angie 131288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous! I love you in blue and green. Done deal. Those are your signature colours :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-spring-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-131282 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 06:42:22 +0000 Kari 131282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Bella - I worried at first that red shoes may have been locking me in color-wise, but eventually I decided I'd just make them work with the colors I had.<br /> I can't wait to see your full capsule outfits.</p> <p>LOP, thank you - I'm glad I didn't look too much like a "Red Hat Society" lady with red and purple. It was a challenge to try to pair those colors in a different way and I had fun trying.</p> <p>Mmm, Vani, I think you really made your black moto jacket work well as a centerpiece for many of your outfits. I didn't feel overwhelmed with black at all when I looked at your outfits, and I thought your week was lovely and quite colorful. This time around, I just enjoyed trying to incorporate patterns and bright colors for an added challenge to my own wardrobe.</p> <p>AJ, thank you - I have just started branching out to try to "disguise" many of my staple pieces and use them in different ways. I'm not sure if I'd do this all the time, like tucking in the ties on the pussycat bow blouses, but it's good to know that I have the option when my wardrobe is strapped.<br /> Your week was awesome - I love what a genius you are with layering unusual pieces together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-spring-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-131244 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 05:45:13 +0000 AJ 131244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great outfits! I like how you planned to make pieces seem different like hiding the blouse ties, doubling the necklace, and turning the top into a bubble top with the help of the belt. Very creative!<br /> Luv your selection of hosiery. I need to invest in some more. That would have helped my outfits.<br /> You can take a peek at my outfits here:<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wearabouts_town/sets/72157623550026094/detail/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/w.....94/detail/</a><br /> Again, great job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-spring-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-131243 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 05:45:06 +0000 Vani 131243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, you did so well! I love all the purple and blue and red. You look so good in teal! My favourite is the day 2 outfit, the bow is just super-cute!</p> <p>The one thing I was really left wishing for was a brighter neutral cardi like a cascading cardigan. And more pattern or printed tops. I almost threw in the express skirt in the mix :-)There was too much black going on in my outfits. Oh well, next time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-spring-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-131240 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 05:39:11 +0000 LoP 131240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did amazingly well Kari! I love mix of purple with red and blue and also all the textures and tights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-spring-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-131239 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 05:36:46 +0000 bella 131239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your outfits! You were very smart to pick red shoes! When I look at back at my outfits, I feel like they look a bit too similar. A bright colored shoe in a completely different color would have solved the problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari-spring-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-131234 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 04:41:50 +0000 Kari 131234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's my response to the capsule wardrobe challenge (I photographed my Friday outfit today, so I'm a little early.)</p> <p><a href="http://inkariswardrobe.blogspot.com/2010/03/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-day-1-2.html">Monday and Tuesday</a><br /> <a href="http://inkariswardrobe.blogspot.com/2010/03/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-day-3.html">Wednesday</a><br /> <a href="http://inkariswardrobe.blogspot.com/2010/03/capsule-wardrobe-challenge-day-4-5.html">Thursday and Friday</a></p> <p>My capsule included the following -<br /> Clothes:<br /> 1.
