It is extremely flattering. And the trousers in 6, 7, and 8 really elongate, a great cut for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-in-the-closet-again#post-1029340 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 15:39:38 +0000 Day Vies 1029340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lantana - you know when I think about it I learned this from my Mom (yes blaming it all on mothers ) She would spend Saturday morning mixing and matching her new favorite pieces, while she played her new favorite songs. Now she never took pictures but I'm pretty sure she had a mental note on each combination she liked. I'm just doing the same.&nbsp;</p> <p>Joi - I love #14 it's the fit and flare. The shock of coral is nice. Oddly the belt came with the dress. I probably never would have put the jacket and dress together had it not been for my fit and flare muse Lyn*.&nbsp;</p> <p>GP -Thank you! I once sat next to a lady on the bus when I was about 14 and she told me that one day I would be grateful for dewy (read oily skin) perhaps maybe now I am.&nbsp;</p> <p>Jlyns- I really hadn't made up my mind before I posted but it's really looking like #6 is going to the Art Institute event. I think it will work since a PR firm is hosting the event.&nbsp;</p> <p>Lyn - you were definitely the inspiration for #14. I was so happy to find that dress because rarely can I just buy a dress off the rack and have it fit perfectly.&nbsp;</p> <p>DianeG- I like making casual outfits best only because I am usually at a loss. I usually always have to ask myself&nbsp;how are people wearing that?</p> <p>Angie - the ankle is elevated and I've been wearing flats.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-in-the-closet-again#post-1029335 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 15:30:10 +0000 Adelfa 1029335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great capsule! I agree with Ingunn, the addition of the extra color makes things really special. My love is THAT DRESS--wow! In all the variations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-in-the-closet-again#post-1029296 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:54:07 +0000 Angie 1029296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aren't you clever. </p> <p>An extra shout out for #2, #4, #8, #11 and #16, as extra killer. Take care of your ankle. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-in-the-closet-again#post-1029276 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:40:27 +0000 Anonymous 1029276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need to sit down and take some deep breaths after looking at your photos DV! Stunning! The colours are all playing together so well and I love little touches like pearls with the snake booties in #5 and the pop of orangey/red with your skirt. I find your casual outfits inspiring (great ideas for my lifestyle ;))and your dressy outfits equally fab. I agree about #6, that would be lovely for the Art institute evening... love the clutch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-in-the-closet-again#post-1029230 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:01:59 +0000 cheryl 1029230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all fantastic.

I love the gray jeans and your mix of neutrals. And, I don't think there's a color out there you can't wear. Amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-in-the-closet-again#post-1029142 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 12:05:03 +0000 dakotacheryl 1029142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wowsa...simply divine !!</p> <p>Love the grey jeans, the red skirt, the striped dress...oh well, really all of your looks!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-in-the-closet-again#post-1029067 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 06:24:36 +0000 lyn* 1029067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you do natural makeup very well - I am pretty sure "no makeup" is a myth - I scare people (including ER docs) when I show up without makeup at all - haha; I think that's why they stop paging me after I take off my makeup :p&nbsp;</p> <p>I really love the fit and flare style on you (of course I would, style twin). #9 is one of my favorite looks for sure - your red skirts are so pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-in-the-closet-again#post-1029053 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 05:48:34 +0000 jlyns 1029053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Suz on #6!&nbsp; I immediately thought that this was the art institute outfit!&nbsp; You are the definition of elegance in it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-in-the-closet-again#post-1029046 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 05:39:49 +0000 goldenpig 1029046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a versatile capsule!&nbsp;I love them all, but #14 is my favorite! You look lovely with your polished makeup, but it's so nice to see your natural face too--you look&nbsp;so fresh and dewy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-in-the-closet-again#post-1029040 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 05:33:33 +0000 In My Joi 1029040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your sense of style DV! All of the combinations work well, I second Deb, # 14 is my fav!&nbsp;<br />P.S. You look great w/o make-up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-in-the-closet-again#post-1028999 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 03:36:44 +0000 Lantana 1028999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have such a sure hand at putting outfits together, DayVies. It's always a treat to see. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-in-the-closet-again#post-1028951 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 02:21:52 +0000 Day Vies 1028951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn - First off, Happy Birthday! I hope it's a wonderful fun-filed day. <br />I think you're right about the gray jeans they are going to be worn happily and often. The skirt is actually a really bright orange I thought it was an interesting combination. The green jeans are my camo jeans in reverse! How fun is that?! #12&amp;#13 are directly inspired by <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/294211788127769124/http://" rel="nofollow">this picture on pinterest</a>. </p> <p>Kellygirl - I think the floral tank is going to be another workhorse. I love the blue in the background of that tank. It is a cerulean blue and pops so nicely against the neutral flowers.&nbsp; Outfits 8-10 just came together so easily I didn't really think about it. </p> <p>Suz - #2 is a variation of an outfit from my fall&nbsp; capsule. #6 is a version <a rel="nofollow">of this outfit from pinterest</a>. #6 is a contender for the Art Institute. I think it will depend on my mood that day. 4,6,8,12, and 14 are contenders for that event. 8 was definitely one of my impromptu favorites because of the organic feel of the jacket with the water color effect of the tee. I'm glad you pointed out your favorites I value your eye/ style perspective. </p> <p>Karie - I can't wait to see, you have to send me a PM when you do. I literally lifted #12 right off of Pinterest and I think that was the exact comment I wrote when I pinned it. My ankle will be fine. I had a severe soft tissue ankle injury 7 years ago. I know when I've tweaked it I just need to pamper it for the next 2 weeks or so -- then it will be back to heels. Wedges and flats work better in the meantime because it's unstable. </p> <p>Cobaltblue -- #12 must be a magic formula it's getting the most votes.</p> <p>Deb -- you are so sweet to say I don't need makeup. Maybe I don't but I certainly like it </p> <p>Caro - I know you play around with proportion and lines a lot and I find it interesting given the difference between you and Suz's styles that you both like #8. I'm really happy with that one it does have this boho polished-ness to it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-in-the-closet-again#post-1028817 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 23:31:21 +0000 Caro in Oz 1028817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous - #8 is too fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-in-the-closet-again#post-1028813 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 23:25:10 +0000 Ingunn 1028813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok. You are making this so hard. I can't pick a favorite! The grey jeans are going to become workhorses, I'm sure. I love the addition of the red skirt and green pants to this quite subdued collection. you also know how to twist and turn collars, belts etc to make each outfit a winner. This is great work! I hope your ankle is better soon, and that the party will be awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-in-the-closet-again#post-1028812 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 23:25:06 +0000 deb 1028812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #14. And woman, you do not need makeup! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-in-the-closet-again#post-1028776 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 22:28:09 +0000 cobaltblue 1028776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great. I'd like to add #12 as worthy of special attention! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-in-the-closet-again#post-1028758 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 21:49:39 +0000 Karie 1028758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic outfits! I have the same/almost the same top as the one you're wearing in #1, and I have all the elements to put together #12, so....I will be copying those outfits! Hope your ankle feels better soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-in-the-closet-again#post-1028754 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 21:43:03 +0000 Suz 1028754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#16 is perfect for the party. But I am sorry about your ankle! Hope it feels better soon.&nbsp;</p> <p>Fun exercise and it is capsule like in its effects, with all the soft greys, whites, and other soft neutrals. #2 and #6 are standouts in very different ways. Will you wear #6 to the art institute? I also <b>really</b> like #7 and #8.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-in-the-closet-again#post-1028749 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 21:24:46 +0000 kellygirl 1028749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the new grey jeans in all iterations. The outfits with the floral tank are gorgeous too--it seems to go with everything! Your party outfit looks perfect. I like the version with the black jacket as well but the denim one definitely seems more fun/casual for dancing. Hope the ankle feels better :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-in-the-closet-again#post-1028718 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 20:13:05 +0000 Day Vies 1028718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, I have a few events coming up and the weather has shifted from 90's to the 60's. I certainly want to break out with the fall attire but I am not quite ready for fall's moody color palette. I like soft gray because it's light and airy with white and lightens up black I decided to work with a few new items: <ul> <li>Gray Old Navy Rockstar jeans </li> <li>Silver and beige Vera Wang Ballet flats </li> <li>Fit and flare black and white dress </li> <li>Blue &amp; Gray sleeveless Simply Vera tee&nbsp; </li> </ul> I also thought this would be a great exercise today because DH's birthday is Sunday, I am going to a party tomorrow night, and I'm attending an evening reception at the Art Institute in the next few weeks. These are my favorite outfits I came up with. I can't really call this a capsule as the inspiration for some of these outfits come directly from or were inspired by my Pinterest boards. No make up in any of the pics ( I hope I don't scare anybody ;-)) Let me know what you think. </p> <p>BTW #16 is going to the party tomorrow. I twisted my ankle slightly earlier this week so standing around and dancing in heels is not going to work. </p>
