Fun how you shopped your closet for the capsule.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-angies-casual-capsule#post-1255986 Tue, 20 May 2014 00:03:11 +0000 cheryl 1255986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great capsule. That blue striped tank is so pretty!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-angies-casual-capsule#post-1255981 Tue, 20 May 2014 00:00:31 +0000 Aida 1255981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great exercise and illustration of the capsule at work! I see that the striped tank didn't once get paired with the strappy sandals, and the gray tee was primarily paired with the tennis (all but one). Perhaps an issue of dressiness? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-angies-casual-capsule#post-1255855 Mon, 19 May 2014 21:04:18 +0000 Vivian 1255855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the computer idea, yup that is what I'm about to do.......hopefully I will send pictures of my capsule soon. What fun, after seeing your pics Laura I realize I am lacking in the summer shoe department. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-angies-casual-capsule#post-1255737 Mon, 19 May 2014 18:10:23 +0000 rachylou 1255737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your raspberry sneakers. That looks like quite a lot of outfits, enough to see you through the summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-angies-casual-capsule#post-1255705 Mon, 19 May 2014 17:38:34 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1255705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all, I had fun picking these all out this weekend. In fact, I've pulled out another set in a different color scheme to try next. Vivian, that's a great question - at this point this was more of a thought experiment than an explicit plan. If I were to do this, in real life I'd probably mix in a denim skirt and some knit dresses, for some more versatility. I'd probably either keep everything together on one end of the closet, or just keep a list of the possible item combinations either on paper or on my computer, and then use that to pull out outfits in the morning, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-angies-casual-capsule#post-1255649 Mon, 19 May 2014 16:28:44 +0000 Vivian 1255649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am anxious to give this summer casual capsule a try. I have my pieces all picked out and am set to go, just a quick question ........where do these pieces live in your closet? I would assume they sit front and centre till it is time for a fall capsule to take its place. Do you keep your entire closet sorted in capsules? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-angies-casual-capsule#post-1255263 Mon, 19 May 2014 01:31:59 +0000 JulieJohn 1255263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, I like it! Thanks for showing your capsule pieces, you are so with it. Now just add a rhubarb popsicle and you've got summer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-angies-casual-capsule#post-1255152 Sun, 18 May 2014 22:15:09 +0000 Anonymous 1255152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice job! It looks like you've got a good mix of pieces and lots of variety in the looks.</p> <p>I especially love the blue tiered top and the turquoise flats, so #5 and #13 are some of my favorites. The raspberry sneakers also seem so fun!&nbsp;#12 looks really good to me because &nbsp;the shorts and shoes are such similar colors that it looks tonal. And I wonder if #10 would work with the navy or turquoise&nbsp;flats as kind of a spin on a monochromatic outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-angies-casual-capsule#post-1255141 Sun, 18 May 2014 21:50:43 +0000 Laura J 1255141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great to me! &nbsp;I like carter's idea for the fuschia top with the turquoise shorts. &nbsp;I'm trying a capsule wardrobe for work! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-angies-casual-capsule#post-1255121 Sun, 18 May 2014 21:14:34 +0000 carter 1255121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would probably do the fuschia top with the turquoise shorts and add a fun white/cream belt.</p> <p>Love what you've done! Are these all combos you've worn before, or are some of them new for you? Will you try a separate capsule with other colors too? I really need to do this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/playing-with-angies-casual-capsule#post-1255027 Sun, 18 May 2014 19:17:42 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1255027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When Angie posted this summer casual capsule I knew that I would have to try it as it's right up my alley. I'm not sure I got enough variation in the tops, because color schemes and clashing became an issue, but here's my first whack at it. <br />1 - the bottoms: gray cropped chinos, Caslon; cropped white jeans, Ann Taylor; denim boyfriend shorts, Old Navy (thrifted); turquoise shorts, Talbots.<br />2/3 - the tops: blue and white microstripe v-neck tee, Merona/Target; striped tiered knit top, Dress Barn; fuchsia knit tank with crossover detail, Autograph; graphic tee, Lucky Brand.<br />4 - the shoes: pink sneakers, Nike; teal studded flats, Splendid; navy flats, Born; brown wedge sandals, Naturalizer.<br />The outfits:<br />5- striped tank and denim shorts with teal flats<br />6 - blue/white tee with denim shorts and sneakers<br />7 - graphic tee with denim shorts and sandals<br />8 - fuchsia top with denim shorts and navy flats<br />9 - striped tank and turquoise shorts with navy flats<br />10 - blue/white tee with turquoise shorts and sneakers (this one doesn't really work for me, with the clashing blues)<br />11 - graphic tee, turquoise shorts and sandals<br />12 - fuchsia tank, turquoise shorts and teal flats (again not sure about this one)<br />13 - striped tank, gray pants, teal flats<br />14 - blue/white tee, gray pants, sandals<br />15 - graphic tee, gray pants, sneakers<br />16 - fuchsia tank, gray pants, navy flats<br />17 - striped tank, white jeans, navy flats<br />18 - blue/white tee, white jeans, sneakers<br />19 - graphic tee, white jeans, sandals<br />20 - fuchsia tank, white jeans, teal flats </p>
