Period. 1038626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! Purple is a great color as your pseudo-neutral! It looks great with blue and olive. It's just a bluer-reder-brown, right? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-might-be-my-black---capsule-humble-beginnings#post-1038621 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 21:09:00 +0000 Anonymous 1038621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would be tempted to get another pair of those shorts if you wear them a lot. Seems like good fitting shorts are hard to find...for me anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-might-be-my-black---capsule-humble-beginnings#post-1038505 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 18:03:33 +0000 rae 1038505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like a capsule is born!</p> <p>Hm, maybe that is the way to go about a capsule... pull most favorite and loved pieces, pull supporting acts that work with all, exclude stuff that doesn't work with everything? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-might-be-my-black---capsule-humble-beginnings#post-1038385 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 15:16:20 +0000 lyn* 1038385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If purple looked this good on me, it'd be my new black too!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-might-be-my-black---capsule-humble-beginnings#post-1038329 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 13:46:46 +0000 Anonymous 1038329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I heartily approve of using purple as your black. Beautiful color, and you mix it so well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-might-be-my-black---capsule-humble-beginnings#post-1038322 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 13:32:57 +0000 Sara L. 1038322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you're well on your way to having a summer capsule with the shorts, green skirt and jeans. As you say, the tops will all mix and match. Maybe you'll have to adjust Angie's formula somewhat to account for the weather being too hot for toppers. Maybe a vest or more accessories could replace the toppers? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-might-be-my-black---capsule-humble-beginnings#post-1038280 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 12:00:49 +0000 Suz 1038280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look fabulous on you and it is no wonder you reach for them a lot. I think purple or eggplant is a super versatile colour -- more like a neutral in its mixability. You show that here to perfection. I love it with the drapey tops in 5 and 6.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-might-be-my-black---capsule-humble-beginnings#post-1038278 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 11:45:21 +0000 Anonymous 1038278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with your BF. Why not be different and wear purple instead of black? You look great in that color, and have so many different tops to wear with the shorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-might-be-my-black---capsule-humble-beginnings#post-1038259 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 10:05:05 +0000 Anonymous 1038259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are great shorts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-might-be-my-black---capsule-humble-beginnings#post-1038230 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 06:35:01 +0000 Caro in Oz 1038230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great on you Mo &amp; I like all the tops you've shown with them. Easy peasy :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purple-might-be-my-black---capsule-humble-beginnings#post-1038175 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 03:28:02 +0000 Mo 1038175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Much like Marley's Cusp of a Capsule, here is my theoretical&nbsp;start of one.</p> <p>When I told my BF last week that I couldn't find black shorts that are like my purple ones and was bummed he remarked, "who needs black? &nbsp;Everyone wears black. &nbsp;How boring." &nbsp;Indeed. &nbsp;This year, purple is the new black in my closet &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Since getting these shorts on the 15th of last month, I've worn them far more than I would have dreamed. &nbsp;Warning: not all of these are particularly 'styled'. &nbsp;Some are kinda throw on and go looks for casual summer. &nbsp;And the first one could really use a belt, but they were&nbsp;packed up for FL already.<br />As far as a jumping off point for capsules, I could see these shirts with my green cargo skirt&nbsp;(except for the peplum in 4)&nbsp;and also with&nbsp;my Vigoss destroyed jeans. &nbsp;Hunh, look at that. &nbsp;If weather allowed for a topper, I'd have a bona fide capsule in the makings here. </p>
