I was just a little worried a silver pair would be an almost duplication of the pearl grey pointy sneakers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-sporty-luxe-capsule-inspired-by-bridgets-long#post-1653108 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 15:24:09 +0000 El Cee 1653108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kudos! You have put together a very beautiful and functional capsule. I think all of the moto jackets you have shown will play well with your tops and bottoms. (I particularly love the tweed one.) I think that LisaP and Angie are right with the idea that if you wanted one more sneaker option, a silver metallic would be fabulous and would work well with this color palette.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-sporty-luxe-capsule-inspired-by-bridgets-long#post-1653100 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 15:15:17 +0000 Angie 1653100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To answer your questions, Tanya:</p> <ul> <li>Yes to the white moto.</li> <li>Yes to the navy tweed moto.</li> <li>In terms of sneakers, I’m thinking the white Converse and pearl grey slip-ons will work best with the olive pants.</li> <li>I vote take out the Nikes.&nbsp;</li> </ul> <br />As far as another pair of sneakers go - I see solid white and/or silver and not a colour. Will work with EVERYTHING. </p> <p>Feel free to add some Summer slubby knitwear too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-sporty-luxe-capsule-inspired-by-bridgets-long#post-1652999 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 12:55:45 +0000 cheryl 1652999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a fantastic capsule! I think your pointy toes sneakers are great and adding a bright fun pair would just be the cherry on top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-sporty-luxe-capsule-inspired-by-bridgets-long#post-1652865 Sat, 30 Apr 2016 00:53:40 +0000 Tanya 1652865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much UmmLila, those sneaker hybrids are lovely and the color would go perfectly with this capsule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-sporty-luxe-capsule-inspired-by-bridgets-long#post-1652800 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 22:55:06 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1652800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.colehaan.com/zerøgrand-wing-oxford-grape-lavender-grey/889203379713.html?tmad=c&#038;tmcampid=9&#038;gclid=CPDe7vv3tMwCFY5ZhgodX8wCVg&#038;gclsrc=aw.ds&#038;dclid=CJ6vs_z3tMwCFdRGNwodh4QKgg" rel="nofollow">http://www.colehaan.com/zerøg.....Nwodh4QKgg</a></p> <p>Cole Haan sporty oxfords in kind of an orchid grape </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-sporty-luxe-capsule-inspired-by-bridgets-long#post-1652728 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 20:31:12 +0000 Tanya 1652728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, thank you very much for your answer to my question on the blog post. That gives me a great starting point.<br /> Lisap, thanks, I really appreciate your input on the sneakers and am glad you like the Nikes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-sporty-luxe-capsule-inspired-by-bridgets-long#post-1652564 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 15:08:40 +0000 Anonymous 1652564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - you've done some work here! &nbsp;I'm not sure I can sort through all of your questions - but regarding the sneakers, if you were inclined to add another pair, a slightly brighter pair in a colour (citron, brighter blue, etc) would be great, or even a gold metallic. And yes, I think your white Nikes are great - and adding in white Eccos would just be duplicating. I love the look of authentic athletic shoes anyways - and to my eye it actually modernizes a look whereas a comfort/fashiony sneaker can go a little the other way .....sometimes ...;) &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-sporty-luxe-capsule-inspired-by-bridgets-long#post-1652557 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 14:56:05 +0000 Angie 1652557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A quick comment before I run off: <b>WOW! </b>Y<b></b>ou have a killer brilliant wardrobe, and are a complete natural at this.&nbsp;<b></b></p> <b><br /> </b> <p><b></b>I will be back to comment in more detail, and will also answer your question back on the blog post in a minute, Tanya.&nbsp;<b><br /></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/potential-sporty-luxe-capsule-inspired-by-bridgets-long#post-1652548 Fri, 29 Apr 2016 14:40:05 +0000 Tanya 1652548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This morning's amazing post is inspiring me to try and organize my wardrobe into appropriate capsules.  I am starting with the Sporty Luxe one and I think I have most of the items figured out other that the sneakers ( I am asking about help on them at the end of  the post). I am posting potential pieces here and will try on outfits and narrow it down over the weekend. I was trying to get colors and shapes as similar as possible to Bridget's. In my whole capsule, only three pieces ( white cropped jeans,navy patterned linen tee and striped sweatshirt) are new from this year.</p> <p>Bottoms: olive skinny cargos that can be rolled a little, white cropped kick flare jeans and  relaxed skinny jeans that can be rolled with the bug cuff to achieve the same look as Bridget's jeans.</p> <p>Tops: Bridget has three brights in her capsule that go well with olive pants, so I am trying to replicate the effect with three different colors: her citron blouse and sweater are echoed by my orchid silk tee and linen sweater, and her hot pink and tomato tops are represented by my pale citron and aqua linen tees. Her grey tee inspired the grey asymmetric tank and her navy tee the patterned navy tee with olive, aqua and white. Next, like in her capsule, there are flowy black woven top, white lace top and striped tank. At end there is a little creative freedom: white lace sleeved tee is echoed in a white mixed media top.  Since the original capsule has a sweatshirt, I am also adding a striped and cropped white sweatshirt to the capsule.  I am not sure if the final one will work since the bottoms are mid rise, but we shall see.</p> <p>Toppers: I have a white denim jacket but it is very cropped and I am doubtful it will work with all the pants. Alternatives is a white pleather moto which I expect would end up working much better.  I own two navy motos, one tweed and one knitted, and will try them both with the capsule, but I suspect the tweed one may work better.  Thoughts?</p> <p>Extras: bone tote, silver/rose gold watch and grey sunglasses (no photo).</p> <p>Sneakers: this is where I am having big problems.  Ideally, to echo Bridget's capsule, I would need a white pair and pair in either orchid, pale citron or aqua.   I do not own a right version of white, and no colored sneakers. When it comes to white I own sport pair on Nikes and Converse Highness.  Colored, there is a blue snakeskin pair, and navy higher pair.  I also own two pairs of slip-ons, black lace and pointy pale grey.  Which two pairs do you think would work best with the capsule? Best with the olive skinny pants? Can my white Nikes successfully function as white Eccos or are they too sporty for that?  This is really making me want the white Eccos, but my spring summer clothing budget is almost gone.   Also, feel free to suggest an ideal colored pair that would be coupled with white Eccos if Iw ere to buy new sneakers.</p> <p>If you made it so far thank you so much, you are a trooper!  Part two with outfits and fine tuning of the doubtful pieces will follow in couple of days.</p> <p>(P.S. I have accidentally added the wrong white jeans- skinny instead of cropped flare in the first row of the finds and fixing it would require too much work.  The correct jeans are at the end.) </p>
