I think I do find the navy a bit more difficult as well because there are so many different shades. Some are more like an ink and others a true navy. Great idea about the linking! Have been thinking about gray as another color, but hadn't thought of pink, which I think would really go well.<br />Joy, I really think it will help in terms of getting dressed and having some idea of what will work that I already have and what pieces I might need. LOL about the November challenge. I think you're right. Although had planned to do both a wardrobe assessment and work on building capsules in October, was out of town quite a bit of the month and really did more wardrobe assessment in October and really need to analyze what I have to focus on what I need in order to build capsules in the upcoming months! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-challenge---capsules#post-1579128 Mon, 02 Nov 2015 00:15:28 +0000 jenanded 1579128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like playing with the capsule idea too... I did read good advice that you can make several 'capsules' and join them with mutual colours. That works in my mind so I can have my black based capsule and a navy based capsule which can be linked with my pinks, greys, and blues... For some reason I am totally hopeless at mixing black and navy together even though I see others doing it very nicely... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-challenge---capsules#post-1579054 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 19:14:54 +0000 Anonymous 1579054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ummm,&nbsp;do you mean <u>November</u> challenge? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-challenge---capsules#post-1579053 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 19:13:45 +0000 Anonymous 1579053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This sounds like a great challenge to take on.&nbsp; It may be work but will save time getting dressed and shopping&nbsp;to have some capsules worked out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-challenge---capsules#post-1579045 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 19:01:02 +0000 Bonnie 1579045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm looking forward to seeing your posts. This is my situation, too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/october-challenge---capsules#post-1579012 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 17:15:10 +0000 Gwennie 1579012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When Jenn posted her October goals, I set a challenge for myself to work on creating capsules - and addressing color. In sorting through my wardrobe for colder weather wear, have realized that I have a lot fewer bottoms - pants and skirts and that it's easier for me for both capsule and outfit creation, to work from the bottom as the base.&nbsp;My main base bottom colors are black/gray, olive green, camel and blue. Have a few other random colors and prints.&nbsp;<br />Have realized in working to put outfits together that there are a few items that given silhouette, length, color and fabric, basically only work with a few tops and/or shoes. For other items, eg: blue jeans, basic slim black pants, olive green chinos and camel pencil skirt, they can work with a wider range of items. I'm ok with the first category, but I want to make sure that I have enough neutral classics on both top and bottom to give me more flexibility.<br />Although I find silhouette easier, and useful to relatively restrict myself to, that isn't the case for color. Although black is a base neutral for me, notably enough have found a lot of garments lately that are various shades of blue, navy, and ink and often instead of black - so have more than I anticipated. As well - I like brown. It's a color that looks good on me and if I find something I like in brown, I'm likely to get it. So at this point, trying to get a better feel for what colors work with what colors and where to go from there. Comments welcome. &nbsp;How about you? Any other people set goals for October and how did it go? Are others finding working on capsule or outfit creation helpful? </p>
