The black top&nbsp;will not show splashes of&nbsp;tomato sauce or wet marks from cleaning or whatever my daily routine inevitably (and literally!) throws at me. The layers are not needed to make it look 1/2 decent. The polish, at least, is still there with the black.</p> <p>Anyways, I'll keep at it ... Greyscale, your capsule of shapes (vs. colors) has given me something to think about also ... my black top capsule at the moment has one t-shirt button-up, one crisp button-up, one long-sleeved crewneck, one long sleeved v-neck t, a fitted scoop neck (short sleeve) t, a more fluid scoop neck (short sleeved) t&nbsp;and a tank top. And a knit v-neck sweater. Imagine if that was all I needed! O Bliss!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-black-shirt-project---keeping-the-momentum-going#post-1258424 Thu, 22 May 2014 19:14:09 +0000 Greyscale 1258424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just went back to read your project description. Great idea. Almost all my tops are black anyway, but you've made me think about what minimal capsule I could put together for travel - what are the tops I wear the most that go with the most bottoms. I think I figured it out: one v-neck tee, one scoop neck tee, one silk sleeveless button-down, and one loose knit sweater thing. Fun to think about.</p> <p>Anyway, I like this outfit and yesterday's. They're both great casual basics that could fit into a lot of settings, and your add-ons turn them into full outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-black-shirt-project---keeping-the-momentum-going#post-1258291 Thu, 22 May 2014 16:28:45 +0000 texstyle 1258291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great with the jacket and shoes especially! Fun post idea and I agree there is no real need to "group" unless you just want to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-black-shirt-project---keeping-the-momentum-going#post-1258276 Thu, 22 May 2014 16:05:42 +0000 Suz 1258276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Similar formula, but this one is closer to a column of colour, and it looks perfect for a rainy or cloudy day to me, whereas I'd wear the other one in the sunshine.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-black-shirt-project---keeping-the-momentum-going#post-1258243 Thu, 22 May 2014 15:26:58 +0000 celia 1258243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will love to see how the project goes.

This is so fun! Totally different look from yesterday with the same simplicity. Well done. No need to group these - I love waking up to follow Project Black Shirt! Have a great day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-black-shirt-project---keeping-the-momentum-going#post-1258148 Thu, 22 May 2014 13:23:53 +0000 Golden 1258148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Again, cute and put together! Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-black-shirt-project---keeping-the-momentum-going#post-1258144 Thu, 22 May 2014 13:19:18 +0000 Helena 1258144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi there,</p> <p>Promise I'll start grouping these so I'm not posting this every day! But as I woke up pondering black shirts, I thought I'd go with the momentum.</p> <p>The Basics: black gap essential v-neck t-shirt, dark-wash gap skinnies, a layered necklace I grabbed from Etsy that has my kiddies initially stamped on it.</p> <p>The Add-ons: tan utility-style jacket (Suzy Shier a zillion years ago), a blue-gray and white striped scarf, navy Toms</p> <p>Although this is the same formula as yesterday, I think it looks pretty different - very relaxed and blended.&nbsp;</p> <p>thanks for looking and for everyone's positive feedback yesterday! </p>
