I think you truly are like the Phoenix. This capsule is beautifully versatile. The dune inspiration did the trick. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rising-from-the-caspule-ashes-like-a-phoenix#post-1484929 Fri, 01 May 2015 10:53:21 +0000 Olivegreen 1484929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All right! Much more pulled together, and easy to wear across a lot of activities. Add in a travel wrap/big old scarf for the air conditioning and your neck and shoulders, the feathers, and you have landed.<br /> And, you know, you can always buy that huge and ill advised tourist slogan tshirt and knot it :-)<br /> I love those..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rising-from-the-caspule-ashes-like-a-phoenix#post-1484928 Fri, 01 May 2015 10:51:53 +0000 kkards 1484928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love the mix and match of this capsule. perfect blend of neutral and brights. and footwear that looks good, but also looks comfortable! honestly, when i plan my vacation packing, i usually start with the footwear and plan from there!<br />have a great trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rising-from-the-caspule-ashes-like-a-phoenix#post-1484925 Fri, 01 May 2015 10:39:06 +0000 dakotacheryl 1484925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK Seriously !!! &nbsp; You look wonderful in these choices...so individually stylish and fun.&nbsp;<br />Hope you have a wonderful trip, you'll be the best dressed one there!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rising-from-the-caspule-ashes-like-a-phoenix#post-1484887 Fri, 01 May 2015 07:47:30 +0000 rachylou 1484887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yeah. Simplified for travel but full of flare. You have completely risen in magnificence like the Phoenix. Mother of Dragons! </p> <p>I have to remember that: Be inspired by Dune! Because, man, it works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rising-from-the-caspule-ashes-like-a-phoenix#post-1484721 Fri, 01 May 2015 05:35:41 +0000 Ledonna N. 1484721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First off let me say a big thank you to all who helped me and continue to do so on my style evolution. For those who take pictures on a regular or irregular bases wow, hard work. Sometimes what I see in my mind is different than what I see in a picture. I have to think on this one. </p> <p>Now here is the evolution of the New Orleans vacation caspule. What I received mostly from everyone's input is to be uniquely me but not to paired down. Regroup and remember it will be humid and sticky so wear things to let the air flow. </p> <p>I am very confident with this incarnation of the travel caspule all items are pretty much linen or cotton or some type of blend. As alway if your just here to look or to comment all are appreciated. Thank you in advanced.</p> <p>Bottoms:<br /> 1 jogger/harem pant<br /> 1 denim playsuit<br /> 1 denim clam digger<br /> 2 linen skirts (rust is maybe but, a strong maybe not)</p> <p>Tops:<br /> 3. Tanks<br /> 1 peplum mesh<br /> 1 short sleeve sweater (maybe)</p> <p>Toppers:<br /> 1 denim<br /> 1 rain poncho</p> <p>What stayed:<br /> 1-travel fit I will be wearing a couple of wooden beds for my own flare and or scarf.<br /> 2- denim jumper and little military shrug just love how this looks.<br /> 5 -hi-lo uneven hemmed skirt love this brown linen piece.<br /> 7- harem/jogger cotton pants<br /> 8-sharkbite hem blue tank I wish I had picked up more of these, so flattering belted or unbelted.<br /> 10/11-fannypack cross body bag.<br /> 12- green scarf. All the scarfs except the brown stayed.<br /> Belts and shoes and hat (its a kangool leather and wicker) stayed from original post.</p> <p>What's new:<br /> 2-rain ponch oh I love this piece and it goes with everthing<br /> 5-patterned tank very versatile added intrest.<br /> 7-this is a mesh peplum top very nice and versatile. I can add any color tank underneath and it looks so nice to my eye. Pop that belt on and honey, Boom fire.<br /> 8-denim top/jacket topper one of my favorite thrifted pieces.<br /> 9- denim clam diggers they just go.<br /> 18- not sure if I will be taking this rust colored skirt but wanted to picture it anyway.<br /> 19 short sweater top in grey not sure if I'm going to take this but it gives me more options.<br /> Cheapy feather earrings, handmade african inspired earings and a couple of wooden necklaces not pictured.</p> <p>What I learned: I'm gonna fail but in failure is when my creativity kick in. Become inspired by what I have worn in the past listen to the wonderful advise of the YLF family. Be inspired by Dune. Lol but most of all relax it's only clothing darling. Lol </p>
