ALSO, you can shop your closet in case you feel like wearing boho again.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-333#post-1459521 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 14:21:42 +0000 Anonymous 1459521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your capsule looks great. &nbsp;Congratulations on your style evolution.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-333#post-1459435 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 11:47:15 +0000 rute 1459435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Geargirl, that's a wise advice, I never go to fancy events, so I didn't provide for that, If I get any invitation, I can pick one dress outside the capsule without guilty feeling.<br /> Kkards, I tought the same, I have a pair of flats. I always wear that kind of shoes during my work week And flats on the weekends. I never wear sneakers, except for the gym </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-333#post-1459434 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 11:40:23 +0000 rute 1459434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Angie, I don't know if I will survive either, my mood And style changes a lot, but I feel a capsule is good for This because after 3 months, if I want to go in a different direction, I can go And buy another capsule with less expensive clothes. I will not feel so guilty because I've worn these items a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-333#post-1459429 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 11:21:27 +0000 Astrid 1459429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This capsule looks fantastic! I also say stay flexible, you want to do this challenge to clear some things up, not to frustrate yourself. I would love to read your updates on the process! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-333#post-1459427 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 11:15:09 +0000 Summer 1459427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your capsule, Rute, and hope the project proves helpful.</p> <p>This is my default wardrobe strategy, actually, because I have relatively few clothes for any one season - not so much a project, more a way of life! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-333#post-1459420 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 10:53:19 +0000 kkards 1459420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i'm always interested in these kinds of experiments. i like what you've got pulled for this, my only concern is that all of the footwear is on the dressy side….will you want something more casual and easy going? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-333#post-1459371 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 05:51:07 +0000 AJ 1459371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All lovely pieces, Rute. Please keep us updated on this capsule journey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-333#post-1459344 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 03:22:30 +0000 geargirl 1459344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks amazing! I have done capsules for the past year&nbsp;and like them a lot. I currently work with a warm weather capsule (I&nbsp;just switched) and a cool weather capsule. I really enjoyed working with a limited wardrobe and have downsized my wardrobe extensively. My thoughts on capsules...this is an experiment, if an event comes up and you need to pull out something from your "stored items", do it! You needn't suffer! I have a "formal capsule" and a "travel/beach capsule" I pull from when the occasion arrises. I also "test" my items, if something isn't working, I swap it out. Also, later in the season, consider adding one or two "wildcard" items (from your stored items) if you need to refresh! For example, in February, while it was still cool, I added a green cardigan and a navy blazer (from my stored items)&nbsp;to my "cool weather" capsule to add in an early "spring" feel. Finally, since I wear the items in my capsule so much, often they wear out! Three pairs of pants from my cool weather capsule did not make it! I chose not to replace 2 of them, but the last pair I replaced with a similar pair (my dark blue denim straight legs!)<br />Here is a link you might like:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.un-fancy.com/capsule-wardrobe-101/year-two/">http://www.un-fancy.com/capsul...../year-two/</a><br />and of course YLF's Lisa:<a rel="nofollow" href="https://shoppingbrake.wordpress.com/">https://shoppingbrake.wordpress.com/</a><br />and Mo:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://moderatewardrobe.wordpress.com/">https://moderatewardrobe.wordpress.com/</a><br />are my inspirations!<br />I really like your style and hope this helps you get happy with your wardrobe!

Actually, just today, I was revisiting the vivienne files to reconstruct a hypothetical 333 wardrobe within a certain color scheme. I was trying to construct a smart casual wardrobe in navy, nuances of brown, olive, warm whites, and pops of teal. I do cheat in that I don't count outerwear or shoes, but I find that it makes me more successful in the long run. </p> <p>I think your choices are vey cohesive and mix and match well. </p> <p>I learned that I really don't need a lot if variety. Another important lesson I learned was that I bought a lot for a fantasy life. Even some precious real estate in one 333 cycle was stuff that was just too fancy for my life. I can't wear dresses or skirts at work, but I keep buying them because I like them. However, I only wear them once or twice a month. I finally broke down this week and made a pie chart of how I spend my time, by hour, in an average week. It was very eye opening. I spend 48% of my time at home (sleeping, lounging, doing household chores)! This makes me realize that I need to stop buying "fancy" clothes and focus on my home wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-333#post-1459275 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 01:18:08 +0000 Angie 1459275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I forgot to say how WONDERFUL the mix and match ability of your capsule is, Rute - and how I LOVE the addition of the light blue. A capsule interpreted from this painting:&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-333#post-1459197 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 23:00:41 +0000 rabbit 1459197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like a great start, good items and the colors and patterns should mix and match very well. I've actually been trying to build in some of these colors (the red and white) too with the same darker neutrals so will be watching eagerly.&nbsp;Best of luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-333#post-1459186 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 22:48:02 +0000 Angie 1459186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We are always learning aren't we. Looks good, Rute. It will be VERY interesting to see if you can stick to wearing these items only for 3 months without feeling bored. I would feel very restricted doing this project - but I have a small moderately sized wardrobe to start off with, which helps make the capsules more manageable.&nbsp;</p> <p>GOOD LUCK.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/project-333#post-1459179 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 22:38:10 +0000 rute 1459179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was not happy, I Love my wardrobe, I was a careful shopper but I could't get rid of some problems: I tried to follow the trends but wore some items one or 2 times And get bored or ended feeling not so fab and gave that item away. I was having guilty issues. I noticed that I wore some outfits a lot (normally the ones I bought as an outfit), some items I wore less (the more trendy ones, the ones with patterns, flowers, brights), so I decides to work with a capsule for 3 months And see how it goes. Have you done project 333? What have you learned?<br /> Here are my 33 items, Well, 31, but I will add 2 white t-shirts. I feel This reflects my style And I won't feel bored. If it works, for the future I will have to start work with capsules, wish me luck! </p>
