I am in heaven:)&nbsp; I definitely aspire to this.&nbsp; I don't need colour;) and I adore the simplicity.&nbsp; So far I haven't found a white shirt that works for me, but I am open to keep looking:)&nbsp; And the stripes would have to be substituted out.&nbsp;&nbsp; Just looking at the visual makes be feel stylish and serene :)&nbsp; Thanks IK, I wasn't aware of this blog so saving as a fave </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-modernist-minimalist-manifesto#post-1333731 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 00:15:31 +0000 gryffin 1333731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IK - I love this!! I would need to modify pieces and I'd need a bigger boot/bootie/blazer/belt/outerwear collection but the concept is exactly what I am striving for. Thanks!! Much food for thought! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-modernist-minimalist-manifesto#post-1333701 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 23:38:08 +0000 Caro in Oz 1333701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a fab base - are you sure you don't have your version of&nbsp;this already?<br />I just read the post &amp; she has more than this too - special pieces &amp; extra tops, knits etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-modernist-minimalist-manifesto#post-1333667 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 22:59:33 +0000 Suz 1333667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What I like is that she says up front that her essentials wouldn't be everyone's. Makes sense.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-modernist-minimalist-manifesto#post-1333642 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 22:19:09 +0000 ironkurtin 1333642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree, AG, I would rapidly go zonkers without cool shoes. Also, I love these things that show what you can do with a SINGLE COOL SHIRT!&nbsp; Dude, I sweat.&nbsp; I need a clean shirt every day!</p> <p>So yeah, it's a guideline, and I love it for what it does, and will fill it for where it doesn't. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-modernist-minimalist-manifesto#post-1333636 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 21:54:03 +0000 catgirl 1333636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So this is what I'm aiming for in my work capsule.&nbsp; It doesn't need to be fun - it needs to be functional and easy to put together.&nbsp; I do not do white shirts, so something else would have to substitute.&nbsp; Great inspo and already in my colors!&nbsp; I do leave a lot more room for the shoes, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-modernist-minimalist-manifesto#post-1333606 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 21:15:37 +0000 CocoLion 1333606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I admire the discipline here. &nbsp;This might be great for my work capsule. &nbsp;If I didn't need to wash head-to-toe it could work. &nbsp; I pinned a few of her ensembles as inspiration. &nbsp;Thanks IK. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-modernist-minimalist-manifesto#post-1333596 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 21:00:34 +0000 ironkurtin 1333596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup!&nbsp; Start with basics and splash out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-modernist-minimalist-manifesto#post-1333593 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 20:58:46 +0000 Mo 1333593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice round up of basics from which to build, but yeah, mixed as pictured would put me right to sleep by week 1. &nbsp;<br />And funny enough, I see undue repetition in so many black shoes and&nbsp;bottoms, for example, when there could be red&nbsp;flats, olive pants&nbsp;etc, and it would still all work together but just be more interesting. &nbsp;Horses for courses, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-modernist-minimalist-manifesto#post-1333571 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 20:27:12 +0000 ironkurtin 1333571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What I love about this kind of base is that when you add something interesting - like a color or furry texture or sculptural jewelry - it really blows out.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-modernist-minimalist-manifesto#post-1333547 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 20:06:22 +0000 Angie 1333547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And you hit on the operative word - fun. xo</p> <p>Personally, I would really miss my brights, pretty stuff, and enjoying trends. Good on paper, but not good for my own style persona.</p> <p>It IS a way to create ONE capsule though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-modernist-minimalist-manifesto#post-1333541 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 20:01:08 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1333541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is visually striking and I love the simplicity of her layout! I think along the same lines as Tanya, this is a beautiful base wardrobe... But I would get fidgety and impatient and want to add things.</p> <p>I admire, aspire to, can't get enough of the minimist aesthetic... vicariously. More and more, I am finding it is just beyond my ability to pare down to this sort of simple wardrobe. I have mostly made peace with that though, because I am still purging and starting to see a cohesive concept that I am thrilled with. </p> <p>But I still have too much stuff. LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-modernist-minimalist-manifesto#post-1333539 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 19:59:15 +0000 E 1333539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I admire this look on others, but I'd be so sad if this was my wardrobe! lol Definitely not a minimalist or modern classic&nbsp;at heart. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-modernist-minimalist-manifesto#post-1333530 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 19:46:10 +0000 Tanya 1333530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is stunning, and it helps that it looks that every piece is of excellent quality and carefully chosen.</p> <p>Since I like variety I would be bored with this only, so my personal aspiration is to have a collection like this as wardrobe base and then add various other items on top of it.&nbsp; I don't think my base is going to happen either, si,ply because I get too distracted with these other items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-modernist-minimalist-manifesto#post-1333529 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 19:42:55 +0000 ironkurtin 1333529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://coffeestainedcashmere.blogspot.com/2013/02/on-wardrobe-essentials-extended-version.html" rel="nofollow">http://coffeestainedcashmere.b.....rsion.html</a></p> <p>I always aspire to this, but somehow never make it.&nbsp; Oh well, the fun is in the trying!</p>
