I think I need to physically go through this exercise too. I can put much of this capsule together as well. I think it would be useful to pull only from the capsule for a trial period to see how well it really works. Good job!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recreation-of-angies-summer-casual-capsule#post-1474994 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 19:34:57 +0000 Sal 1474994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done, this looks great. Let us know how you get along.</p> <p>I had never created a capsule but the 30 by 30 challenge has forced me to do so. I am not sure that it quite suits me and my way of dressing but it has been a bit of fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recreation-of-angies-summer-casual-capsule#post-1474989 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 19:27:26 +0000 Susie 1474989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great and I am tempted to follow your lead. I would create one specifically for very casual wear, like our summer weekends at the lake. Or those days that it's just too hot to even think about dressing up! </p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recreation-of-angies-summer-casual-capsule#post-1474947 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 17:41:39 +0000 Summer 1474947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've done a great job with this capsule, Sara. &nbsp;As you say, it would be perfect for a trip away, or just keep all the pieces handy for easy summer dressing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recreation-of-angies-summer-casual-capsule#post-1474940 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 17:27:37 +0000 Sara L. 1474940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon - I've never created a capsule either because I also found the thought overwhelming.&nbsp; I found this fairly easy to do since I didn't start from scratch - I used Angie's template.&nbsp; I matched the items as close as possible - striped top, patterned top, black&nbsp;top, grey top, etc.&nbsp; I think I would have had more problems if I was trying to create a completely new capsule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recreation-of-angies-summer-casual-capsule#post-1474933 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 17:18:43 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1474933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice. I will probably give this capsule a go once we get solidly into wearing-shorts weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recreation-of-angies-summer-casual-capsule#post-1474894 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 15:25:42 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1474894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PERFECT! And you're inspiring me to try this myself. I've never done a capsule either - somehow it seems overwhelming to me. But this is fantastic Sara. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recreation-of-angies-summer-casual-capsule#post-1474883 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 14:58:26 +0000 Carole 1474883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great exercise and now your ready for summer! It would be interesting to see how it would feel to dress from the capsule exclusively...I created a summer capsule, too, based on Angie's summer capsule post. I used the Stylebook App and it made me realize I have plenty for spring and summer...I could've kept adding to it but I guess that isn't the point!</p> <p>Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recreation-of-angies-summer-casual-capsule#post-1474879 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 14:37:23 +0000 Angie 1474879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>*applause*</b></p> <p>WELL DONE. Look forward to seeing the outfits.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recreation-of-angies-summer-casual-capsule#post-1474863 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 14:06:11 +0000 Sara L. 1474863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - I picked out footwear and a belt as shown in the picture.&nbsp; However, I didn't pick out any toppers.&nbsp; For a summer casual capsule I don't think I need one.&nbsp; I generally don't wear a third layer in the summer.&nbsp; Even the office isn't overly air conditioned (I do leave a cardigan at the office during the summer for those days when I get chilled).&nbsp; If I was packing for a trip though I would probably&nbsp;throw in a cardigan or light jacket.&nbsp; I would add necklaces and bracelets for&nbsp;interest but didn't figure those out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recreation-of-angies-summer-casual-capsule#post-1474626 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 03:20:18 +0000 Anonymous 1474626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job, Sarah. It looks like every top can be worn with every bottom, but it would be a good idea to try everything before a trip. Sometimes proportions don't work the way you think they will.<br /> You have inspired me to try to copy Angie's casual summer capsule from my closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recreation-of-angies-summer-casual-capsule#post-1474609 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 02:55:26 +0000 Suz 1474609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks terrific, Sarah! Great job! Why not try wearing it for a week or 10 days and see how that feels?&nbsp;</p> <p>Did you pick the footwear/ bags as well? And do you need a topper for AC?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-recreation-of-angies-summer-casual-capsule#post-1474555 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 01:54:25 +0000 Sara L. 1474555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely loved this capsule that Angie put together.&nbsp; I think part of my love might come from the fact that I own some similar pieces.&nbsp; I was pretty sure I could put together a similar capsule with what is in my closet right now, without any shopping.&nbsp;&nbsp;Here's what I came up with.&nbsp; A couple points:</p> <ul> <li>I skipped the legging/tunic outfits because, although I have leggings, I only have winter sweater dresses to wear them with.&nbsp;</li> <li>I have white shorts so I could sub those in for the white jeans depending on what I was using the capsule for.</li> <li>I put in a greenish grey skirt in place of the pants in Angie's capsule.</li> <li>I don't have culottes so used a long pair of very dark denim shorts instead.</li> <li>I put in the flower girl graphic tee in place of one of the white shirts in Angie's capsule.&nbsp; I have plain white t-shirts I could have used though.</li> <li>I haven't actually tried all the combinations on and would definitely do that before packing this for a trip.</li> </ul> <p>I took pictures thinking that I could pack all this for a summer trip.&nbsp; I'm tempted to try just wearing these pieces for a few weeks this summer to see how I feel about a small casual wardrobe&nbsp; However, I have so many other clothes, that I also like, that I would then miss out on wearing.&nbsp; I'm conflicted...</p> <p>I've never really tried to put together a capsule so this was an interesting exercise.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thoughts?&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> </p>
