I’m pleased that these work. I was worried that the “modern” would be lost in translation since these are all things that I’ve had for awhile. I wasn’t sure that I could even make this capsule but it turns out that I had almost everything except for the trench. (My trench is my raincoat and is probably one of the oldest things I wear. Pretty sure that needs replacing at some point.)&nbsp;</p> <p>@Ingunn: Thank you! You have been a huge inspiration on the capsule front. So glad that you approve!</p> <p>@Lantana: Thank you. I like your approach for capsules--only I need to look at a recipe. I’m not so good at winging it. I hope you share your capsules--I bet I could learn a lot from your too.</p> <p>@Astrid: Thanks. I know you appreciate a boot cut :)</p> <p>@Nova: Thanks! I haven’t worn these more than a handful of times in the last few years. I’m actually looking forward to wearing them now. So glad I didn’t purge!</p> <p>@Karie: Thanks! I thought about a scarf but couldn’t find one that worked. My black/white clashed with the cream of the stripes. I’m going to have to work on that piece!</p> <p>@unfrumped: Thank you!</p> <p>@Suz: Thanks! I threw the moto on as a whim and ended up liking it. I guess it pays to play in the closet :)&nbsp;</p> <p>@BethAnn: Thanks! I love the scrunch but as the temps cool, I’m more likely to wear things full length. Great suggestions on adding edge. I usually add it with footwear but right now that’s not an option. I will try the semi tuck but honestly, I had a hard time pulling that off with button downs. (I look like I rushed out of the house without finishing getting dressed!)</p> <p>@Makrame: Thanks! I think the grey BF blazer looks kind of boxy but I like the masculine vibe of it. Glad the overall look works.&nbsp;</p> <p>@DianeG: Thank you! I like the moto version too.&nbsp;</p> <p>@Angie: Thank you. Your capsule posts are exactly what I’ve been needing to make sense out of my closet! I love the simplicity of this ensemble and love the use of the boot cuts/straight legs. I have a black trench and will give it a try next week but I fear that is dated. I’d love a trench but after reading all of the myriad K/R trench posts, I find the search a little daunting!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kelly-tries-classic-fall-casual#post-1029304 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:56:45 +0000 Angie 1029304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fabulous. The simplicity and bootcuts are refreshing. </p> <p>No trench? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kelly-tries-classic-fall-casual#post-1029297 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:54:10 +0000 Anonymous 1029297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this! And I'm especially liking the moto version. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kelly-tries-classic-fall-casual#post-1029271 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:38:05 +0000 Makrame 1029271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look great! &nbsp;I especially like how the white blouse adds crispness to the &nbsp;outfits. &nbsp;As far as how current the pieces look, I am not 100% sure about the cut of the blazer in #3. But honestly, if I saw you wearing this outfit on the street, I would just think "what a great outfit", rather than dissect the individual pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kelly-tries-classic-fall-casual#post-1029256 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:25:07 +0000 Beth Ann 1029256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great capsule, Kelly!&nbsp; Love em all!&nbsp; For #3, I wonder how it would look to button just the top button and scrunch the sleeves?</p> <p>These look perfectly modern classic to my eye.&nbsp; The leather moto does serve as the little bit of "edge" that I'm accustomed to from you, but most of these looks are more polished casual classic.&nbsp; They lack nothing to my eye, but if, and only if, you miss the bit of "edge," you can create it with a strong accessory, perhaps some tucking or semi-tucking.</p> <p>Love the bootcuts on you.&nbsp; The fact that they are looser than the painted-on versions are years past makes them look very current. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kelly-tries-classic-fall-casual#post-1029187 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 13:07:48 +0000 Suz 1029187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are fabulous, Kelly! You look sensational in this capsule. Love the sweater, by the way. And the moto adds a fun twist to the formula.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kelly-tries-classic-fall-casual#post-1029151 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 12:18:52 +0000 unfrumped 1029151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are some of your best. Your look great in the crisp white with darks. Love the color blocked top. The mix of neutrals and textures is fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kelly-tries-classic-fall-casual#post-1029149 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 12:17:05 +0000 Karie 1029149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! The only one I'm not crazy about is&nbsp;#3. For the others, you could also&nbsp;&nbsp;add a fun scarf into the mix. My fav is #2, it's an outfit combo I wear often with straight legged jeans - I just bought a pair of bootcuts last night, and I can't wait to take them out for a spin! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kelly-tries-classic-fall-casual#post-1029138 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 11:56:01 +0000 Nova 1029138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great.&nbsp; I think the pieces look perfect.&nbsp; I am after a new pair of boot cuts myself and I always love cons! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kelly-tries-classic-fall-casual#post-1029100 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 09:23:02 +0000 Astrid 1029100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's perfect! I love seeing some bootcuts for a change. You look great in all versions. Wear and enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kelly-tries-classic-fall-casual#post-1029093 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 08:17:52 +0000 Lantana 1029093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is no room for improvement. These look perfect. Fab pieces, fab colourway, YLF.<br /> I guess you could scrunch the sleeves if that's your style.<br /> I am a bit obsessed with capsules too, (bashful blush) but my approach is a little different. I am focussing on each of my skirts/pants, taking each one, one at a time, and building a capsule based on that.<br /> Narrowing the exercise in that way has made it manageable for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kelly-tries-classic-fall-casual#post-1029083 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 07:18:00 +0000 Ingunn 1029083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whether the pieces look current enough is hard for me to tell, but I do know that you look incredibly fresh and fab to my eye! I love all iterations, and the bootcuts are just great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kelly-tries-classic-fall-casual#post-1029082 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 07:10:33 +0000 kellygirl 1029082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To say that I'm obsessed with capsules is an understatement. I've been trying to put together one based on Angie's&nbsp;"One Capsule, Many Outfits: Casual Outfits for Fall" blog post--with very little success. So today, I took a break and spent a little time on the&nbsp;"Classic Fall Casual" instead. I snapped a few pics of my faves. I think the Cons are a great way to update the boot cuts. I'm really excited to get them back in rotation </p> <p>My question:&nbsp;Do you think the pieces look current enough? Suggestions for improvement welcome.&nbsp;</p> <p>TIA! </p>
