I thought of you when doing this and your beautiful and organized capsule pictures; what an exhaustive exercise. I could have spent several more hours creating a bizillion outfit combinations!</p> <p>BJ-thanks for your opinion, I think I much prefer with pants, too. Have a million more possibilities to try.</p> <p>Mona-thanks!</p> <p>Raisin-Thanks, wasn't sure if the red skirt worked, but I rather like it.</p> <p>Sarah-Would love to see some of your ideas, care to give it a go?</p> <p>Lisa-thank you.</p> <p>Cinnamon Fern-I agree about 3, a little too much, yes. The color is sort of celery, or lemon/yellow and easier to wear than I would have thought.</p> <p>Claire-Thanks for the ideas. Yes, there are so many other possibilities, it's amazing how a jacket with some color can spark some creativity. I was going to try to recreate the other outfits, but gave up and just focused on the jacket. Will save that for another day.</p> <p>Joy-Thanks, I always get some new ideas for some old wardrobe favorites from these articles. I love the scarf as belt idea, too. Must give that a try.</p> <p>Tina-thanks for the lovely compliments! I guess the jacket stays! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/redbook-wardrobe-remix-for-spring#post-856883 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:41:17 +0000 Suz 856883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful in each and every one of these! My goodness you are a stunner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/redbook-wardrobe-remix-for-spring#post-856835 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:55:08 +0000 Tina.b 856835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carole, you look just stunning in that jacket. What a beautiful colour, and the perfect piece for spring. This is will so versatile. I particularly love looks 1 and 4. You are gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/redbook-wardrobe-remix-for-spring#post-856830 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:51:29 +0000 Anonymous 856830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for posting the link and your wonderful outfits. My favorites are 1 and 4.<br /> It was fun to look through the RedBook ideas. The scarf-as-belt looks reminded me of doing that in... Was it the 80's? I can see the possibilities of floral sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/redbook-wardrobe-remix-for-spring#post-856811 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:41:55 +0000 Anonymous 856811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such fun! You look great Carole! You could also wear the striped top with the red skirt and blue pants. The blouse in 5 could go with the other bottoms as well. You might not want to wear the lemon jacket with the red or blue bottoms, but I'm sure you have another topper in that fab closet of yours, like a denim jacket or a vest of some sort? I love your new jacket and I'm always amazed at how a colored jacket can completely invigorate a wardrobe. Good work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/redbook-wardrobe-remix-for-spring#post-856794 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:25:56 +0000 cinnamon fern 856794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like all of these except for #3 - the belt and the neckline of the shirt under the dress seem like too much going on to me. I LOVE #4 though.</p> <p>I think I need to try yellow! It seems to go with so much, and it's such a happy color, like my beloved orange. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/redbook-wardrobe-remix-for-spring#post-856789 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:21:50 +0000 Lisa 856789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun new jacket! And I like that it has shorter sleeves because the layering with stripes peeking out from underneath is really clever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/redbook-wardrobe-remix-for-spring#post-856764 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:06:32 +0000 Sarah A 856764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am especially keen on 5 and 6... so fresh and springy. I had to go to the redbook link too! A bunch of good ideas to play with. Thanks for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/redbook-wardrobe-remix-for-spring#post-856754 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 13:56:55 +0000 Raisin 856754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love yellow for spring, and this looks great on you. I really like that the sleeves are shorter, and the stripes peek out a bit. Also love the yellow paired with blue, and I would never have known it went so well with red. Great job remixing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/redbook-wardrobe-remix-for-spring#post-856719 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 12:30:16 +0000 Mona 856719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THis jacket is fabulous on you.

You look great in the lemon jacket. I particularly like the stripes and black with it. Very fresh!</p> <p>Oh, why did you show me this - now I have to get to work, too:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/redbook-wardrobe-remix-for-spring#post-856634 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 05:43:14 +0000 kellygirl 856634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is great Carole! What a fun color for spring and a jacket is a great way to try it (as opposed to the lemony colored pants I tried at the Gap!) I especially love it with black and the black/white stripes. SO cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/redbook-wardrobe-remix-for-spring#post-856604 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 05:04:50 +0000 CK 856604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1,2, 5 and 7 are my favorites. Great find. I will have to scope out my local Kohl's. You have great style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/redbook-wardrobe-remix-for-spring#post-856598 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 04:57:02 +0000 Carole 856598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Beth Ann and Mo. IKWYM, Mo, I am always sucked into playing in my closet after that issue comes out when I have way to many other things I should be doing. It did make me put the brakes on for buying more stuff, however, and that is a good thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/redbook-wardrobe-remix-for-spring#post-856594 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 04:52:25 +0000 Mo 856594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are always so fun to look at! (I have since learned less fun, for me, to do - ha ha). I think it's a great spring piece to play with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/redbook-wardrobe-remix-for-spring#post-856590 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 04:43:33 +0000 Beth Ann 856590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very chic, and I love inspiration that results in such creative energy! My favorites are #1 and #6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/redbook-wardrobe-remix-for-spring#post-856570 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 04:18:35 +0000 Carole 856570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, thanks for weighing in.</p> <p>Cocolion, thank you for the lovely compliment:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/redbook-wardrobe-remix-for-spring#post-856562 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 04:10:37 +0000 CocoLion 856562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are brilliant and beautiful Carole. Angie needs to sign you to her modeling agency. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/redbook-wardrobe-remix-for-spring#post-856528 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 03:38:25 +0000 sarah 856528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What lovely color combinations! I like the jacket best with pants. I especially like 5 and 6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/redbook-wardrobe-remix-for-spring#post-856524 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 03:36:27 +0000 Carole 856524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been perusing this most recent Redbook remix article:</p> <p><a href="http://www.redbookmag.com/beauty-fashion/tips-advice/outfit-ideas-for-spring-2013#slide-1" rel="nofollow">http://www.redbookmag.com/beau.....13#slide-1</a></p> <p>and realize I have similar pieces to recreate most of these outfits. I would like to find a pair of floral slim pants, but need NO other clothes to make this Spring wardrobe possible. These are such good exercises for me; I find things lurking in my closet that are all but forgotten but still very appropriate for creating some fun outfits. </p> <p>I did purchase the lemon colored jacket from Kohls. It was on super clearance and I thought it would be fun to see how this would work with my things. I have a very casual life and the casual vibe and fun color seemed like a good idea. And it seems you can never have too many jackets where I live.</p> <p>Here are a few examples with the jacket what do you think? Honest feedback always appreciated. Thanks for looking. </p>
