I think it also is more challenging for me because once June comes I get to switch to my summer work wardrobe which is much more casual because their are not students present and it is just me and the secretaries.<br />I'm pretty pleased and can't wait until Wednesday when I do the switch out.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-bridge-season-capsule#post-1465134 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 14:50:03 +0000 thimblelina 1465134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job embracing the capsule concept! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-bridge-season-capsule#post-1465054 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 12:13:27 +0000 celia 1465054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also find that a transitional capsule wardrobe is worth every penny and thought you put into it. Mornings are tough as they are , no need to complicate them trying to dress for the shifting weather.<br />Your capsule is full of beautiful and versatile items.<br />Can't wait to see pictures of the closet with the new items and of your outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-bridge-season-capsule#post-1465041 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 11:46:52 +0000 Windchime 1465041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've been busy and will be well prepared come April. I love the variety of styles, colors, and patterns you've selected! </p> <p>Red pants would be a fun addition and would coordinate well with this capsule. </p> <p>(I had to google 'Garanimals.' Great concept!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-bridge-season-capsule#post-1465038 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 11:32:09 +0000 dakotacheryl 1465038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very well thought out. Dressing should be a breeze.</p> <p>I have a Calvin Klein faux leather moto in a light tan color that I have worn the heck out of for a year now...I thought it would only be in rotation until I found a "real" leather jacket to replace it with, but it still looks great and the color makes it so versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-bridge-season-capsule#post-1465026 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 10:12:24 +0000 Karie 1465026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it - "garanimals for adults!" Funny but true!</p> <p>You've done a lot of work putting all this together, and it looks like you've created a cohesive, seamless transitional wardrobe. How wonderful that you will be able to create so many outfits. This will make getting dressed and out the door so much easier in the morning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-bridge-season-capsule#post-1464838 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 21:37:20 +0000 Summer 1464838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've done a great job building this transitional &nbsp;capsule, Frannie. &nbsp;I love the pieces and the colour palette you've used. &nbsp;Your efforts will pay dividends over the next two months - stress-free dressing, indeed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-bridge-season-capsule#post-1464835 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 21:25:31 +0000 Anonymous 1464835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful capsule. &nbsp;My favorites are the pink and white blazers. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-bridge-season-capsule#post-1464819 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 20:56:19 +0000 shedev 1464819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great capsule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-bridge-season-capsule#post-1464813 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 20:34:39 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1464813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice - congrats on finding so many separates that work for you, and for sharing the details of the items.

And you have done an impressive job with yours! That is an amazing number of outfits with these picks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-bridge-season-capsule#post-1464750 Sun, 29 Mar 2015 18:43:00 +0000 frannieb 1464750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So here is my capsule for the bridge season as I call it which would be April and May - Then I move into a much more casual summer hour work wardrobe which will be my next capsule to build. It has taken me a solid year to really understand this concept.&nbsp;</p> <p>Yes - I ended up doing a great deal of shopping for this capsule because it was non-existent in my wardrobe.<br />I took cues from Angie using the these two capsules<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2015/03/13/mini-capsule-smart-casual-office-wear/">http://youlookfab.com/2015/03/.....fice-wear/</a><br />and<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2014/03/14/business-casual-capsule-for-spring/">http://youlookfab.com/2014/03/.....or-spring/</a></p> <p>I feel the effort in the seasonal transition is so worth peace of mind in dressing every day for the next two months.</p> <p>My goals:<br />1. &nbsp;To create basically garanimals for adults and make dressing super easy. I got there &nbsp;with my winter capsule.&nbsp;<br />2. Bring some color back into my wardrobe - I went gray, black and navy with winter and want some color back<br />3. Create a wardrobe I will be able to build off of in the future and have pieces that will transition into my summer capsule</p> <p>What I ended up with:</p> <p>8 toppers<br />1. black leather - perfect weight for bridge season<br />2. Beige<br />3. offwhite faux leather motorcycle&nbsp;<br />4. Denim Blazer (This is a close look to what I have)<br />5. Coral Blazer<br />6. Black Blazer (Thinking I want to add a navy blue instead) we will see<br />7. not picture a long white blazer<br />8. Not picture long Navy blue sweater</p> <p>10 Tops:<br />I have really shifted from dress to pants and skirts this year so I have had purchase a great deal of shirts<br />1. off -White with blue details<br />2. Coral lace tank top<br />3. Black and white flower chiffon top - Angie pick and have never gone wrong with her picks when the match my aesthetic<br />4. Off white top - another angie pick<br />5. Off white animal print top - similar to an angie pic<br />6. Butterfly top with pink and coral and orange<br />7. Black top&nbsp;<br />Non - picture - 3 other tops from my wardrobe</p> <p>Bottoms - not picture all in my wardrobe already<br />1. Denim skirt<br />2. Black ponte skirt<br />3. Black pants&nbsp;<br />4. Beige ankle pants<br />5. Gray ponte ankle pants<br />6. Navy pants<br />7. Navy skirt<br />8. Black leather skirt<br />9. Wild card - a blue floral skirt I adore.</p> <p>2 Dresses:<br />1 Black<br />1 multi colored</p> <p>All the tops go with all the toppers - Which is I love - something like 80 combos represented<br />All tops go with all the bottoms. &nbsp;<br />If pressed all topper and top combo's can go with the bottoms but some won't look the best.&nbsp;<br />All topper and top combo's go with a minimum of 4 of the bottom choices<br />Wild card skirt matches &nbsp;5 tops and looks good with all toppers<br />Dress goes with all topper</p> <p>The only thing I really have to shop for until summer is a Navy suit - Which is something I have wanted to add for a while.&nbsp;<br />Thinking about adding a wild card of red pants</p> <p>Next Steps: Wednesday I pack up my winter stuff and move this selection of work clothes into my closet - I will take some pictures of the actual</p> <p>All comments and&nbsp;suggestions welcome. </p>
