Pairing my whites with neutrals like this&nbsp;taupe and silky&nbsp;floral front mixmedia cardi&nbsp;makes me enjoying my summer whites deeper &nbsp;in fall, too:-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-casual-capsule-take-2/page/2#post-1028183 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 04:47:59 +0000 Lyn D. 1028183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just discovered this via Angie's Blog.<br />Suz, your at home style is so lovely, and more like my going out to shop etc style.<br />I am taking careful note of your neckline preferences, they are becoming mine now that my hair is shorter.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-casual-capsule-take-2/page/2#post-1020602 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 01:16:57 +0000 Day Vies 1020602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the leopard jeans! I agree with you Suz this capsule seems much more in line with the outfits you create for yourself daily. I love the colors prints and textures -- the combinations are fabulous. No clue where to find khaki colored jeans -- I am sure by now someone has made a suggestion already. I'll just enjoy the pictures </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-casual-capsule-take-2/page/2#post-1020592 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 00:58:55 +0000 pil 1020592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This capsule looks perfect for your work at home/quick errand needs, Suz. It's hard to pick a favorite combination, though I do love the white jeans. </p> <p>Please share if you find a replacement leopard scarf! I almost picked one up at Target today but decided it had too much black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-casual-capsule-take-2/page/2#post-1020216 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 17:05:29 +0000 Suz 1020216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all. Sara, I could add one of my VC tube skirts here -- the navy.&nbsp;</p> <p>Texstyle, thank you for those links. I wasn't all that clear in what I said to ClearlyClaire &nbsp;What I <b>meant</b> was that it is tough to find one in the precise colour combo of the one we shared (until she purged hers). It's got a brilliant combination of a taupe-y tan (sort of neutral, neither truly cool nor truly warm) with charcoal and what is almost a teal blue in the pattern. And I swear to you, it's chameleon -- works with <b>EVERYTHING</b> and looks truly amazing. I have not found another leopard print that is as perfect, anywhere, on any item.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-casual-capsule-take-2/page/2#post-1020201 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 16:49:10 +0000 Sara L. 1020201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is a great capsule but maybe it doesn't feel as fresh to you since these are outfits you already wear? Maybe if you added a skirt to your bottoms, as in your first capsule, but still kept it casual enough for work-at-home days, it would feel more exciting? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-casual-capsule-take-2/page/2#post-1020186 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 16:11:34 +0000 texstyle 1020186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, Claire - Regarding the leopard print scarf - on Amazon (US at least) there are many of them available. I noticed a couple of black/white versions as well s many other variations in color, size, etc.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Leopard-Animal-Scarf-Weather-Scaves/dp/B009Z6MFUI/ref=sr_1_56?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1378224667&amp;sr=8-56&amp;keywords=leopard+print+scarf" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Leopard-.....8;qid=1378</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-casual-capsule-take-2/page/2#post-1020135 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 14:55:02 +0000 Lisa 1020135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great capsule here.&nbsp; I also try to wear my white jeans throughout Sept before I put them on the side.&nbsp; If I had white straight legs, I'd actually sport them year round.&nbsp; I adore white with cream and taupe and browns in cooler weather.&nbsp; But my white bootcuts get too dirty once our weather cools down.&nbsp; I have found that capsules are great for identifying a wardrobe hole and having a list of "ready to go" outfits for rush days.&nbsp; But I don't think one has to wear every option, that's what the other capsules are for! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-casual-capsule-take-2/page/2#post-1020125 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 14:27:05 +0000 texstyle 1020125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great capsule Suz - love that you took the time to do it. And I also love that it is such a "real life" capsule for you too. You look fantastic in each of these outfits and it would be hard to choose a favorite. I do love neutrals so the white/neutral tones are esp. nice to me. </p> <p>I did take the time to photograph several of my wardrobe pieces for a capsule - so I could play "paper dolls" with them at my computer when I get free time. It also helps to catalogue my clothing so I may try to take a photo of each and everything as time permits. Now I have to do the *hard* part and try on each outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-casual-capsule-take-2/page/2#post-1019642 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 15:33:22 +0000 Suz 1019642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Angie!&nbsp;</p> <p>I think one reason I was less excited here is that there are no new items or new combinations. So that can feel a bit stale. But by adding in a few of the newer items as temperatures allow, I will get a bit more "zip." Also, when it comes to work-at-home, there is something to be said for comfort. In fact, isn't that exactly what I want?&nbsp;</p> <p>I've already had a few "aha" moments from this exercise and feel more in control of my closet than in the past. It's actually helping me in some ways I might not have predicted, but I'll save those reflections for another post.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-casual-capsule-take-2/page/2#post-1019638 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 15:27:52 +0000 Angie 1019638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did an utterly superb job, Suz. I prefer this capsule to the first one, which was stellar too. </p> <p>Now. Combine the two capsules, wear your favourite combinations, throw in random "un-capsuled" outfits in-between, and you'll be plenty excited throughout Sept, is my bet. </p> <p>By doing this capsule exercise you have proved that the items in your wardrobe relate well to each other. You have a closet full of great outfits. That was the point. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-casual-capsule-take-2#post-1019624 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 14:46:33 +0000 Anonymous 1019624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All right my leopard printed friend! I have almost totally become a snake print convert because the tones are so much better suited to my (our)&nbsp;complexion. Most leopard prints are so warm, but I'll keep my eyes peeled for us both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-casual-capsule-take-2#post-1019620 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 14:42:14 +0000 Suz 1019620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire, I <b>KNOW </b>about that scarf, eh? I wish it were a slightly different shape/ longer or something and a better fabric. But I hold onto it for dear life anyway because you are absolutely right - it is impossible to find a replacement. In an era when leopard print is everywhere, this combination of tones is almost impossible to find, and it is a <b>GENIUS</b> blend for our palette. I love how it looks with all my neutrals and colours.&nbsp;</p> <p>I will keep a look out for an alternative and if I find one I'll let you know right away. And you do the same please!&nbsp;</p> <p>Great idea about pairing the white with neutrals to make it more autumnal. This was my thought as well. Hence the taupe. But then when you add a fuchsia jacket, I guess that increases the colour quotient! :-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-casual-capsule-take-2#post-1019610 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 14:34:03 +0000 Anonymous 1019610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those patterned taupe jeans that Ceit posted! This is a terrific capsule Suz, and if you are tired of it, just box it up and...well, you have my address! Seriously though, you look very put-together in these outfits and they will no doubt help you to feel crisp and professional when it's time to switch into the "I am working now" mode.&nbsp;</p> <p>On the white jeans in the Autumn, I love them with neutrals, like black, taupe, charcoal, grey,&nbsp;animal prints, etc. There is something inherently Summery about white + color in my consciousness, so try them with other neutrals&nbsp;if you feel you&nbsp;are missing the Autumnal vibe. The leopard scarf would be great if you still have it. I culled mine last Spring because it was polyester and now I am kicking myself because I haven't been able to find a replacement.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-casual-capsule-take-2#post-1019574 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 13:36:22 +0000 Krista 1019574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely capsule, Suz! If it's any consolation, the farmers almanac says it will be fairly mild into October, so you'll get lots of wear out of those white jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-casual-capsule-take-2#post-1019566 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 13:13:22 +0000 Anonymous 1019566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this capsule Suz. I was away for the first one so I popped back to the post and I can see the difference. This one seems better suited to your every day activities and It still looks fab with the colours you chose. You have got a fab style groove going at the moment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-casual-capsule-take-2#post-1019564 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 13:04:06 +0000 Nova 1019564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your capsule.&nbsp; I think it looks great and well put together.&nbsp; Love the various belts and your scarf.&nbsp; Never realized how much fun belts could be before YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-casual-capsule-take-2#post-1019506 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 10:40:53 +0000 Lantana 1019506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz I have found this SO useful.<br /> I see an eminently workable capsule; it might not look/ feel exciting (toyou) but by hell it's "right". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-casual-capsule-take-2#post-1019459 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 04:52:24 +0000 Beth Ann 1019459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So late to the party!&nbsp; Lost power (after a storm) for 28 hours!&nbsp; </p> <p>This is right up my alley, since I work from home, too, and have some similar items in my closet right now.&nbsp; I have a separate capsule for teaching students at home, since that "home-work" must be a little bit more professional (The I'm Not Mom Capsule).</p> <p>&nbsp;I think the button downs and jacket really elevate the capsule and say "I'm WORKING at home, not lounging," which, as we know, is so very tempting. The magenta add an all-important note of cheeriness!&nbsp; I'm also a proponent of stretching the white as long as weather allows.</p> <p>You could do a "taupe" jean if it had a texture, like a snakeskin, although olive sounds great, too.&nbsp; I think soft crepe de chine fabrics work well for transitional work-for-home, and am on the lookout for swackets, soft motos and ponte jackets to keep the look comfy but sharp!</p> <p>I need to do this exercise, too, but it's launch week at the University.&nbsp; I'll be luck to be out the door on time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-casual-capsule-take-2#post-1019418 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 02:20:26 +0000 nancylee 1019418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks like a great lineup for early autumn, Suz. &nbsp;I wouldn't worry about the lack of variety. &nbsp;This is great for September...then the weather will change soon enough and you can add in/subtract a few items for interest (and warmth!).&nbsp;</p> <p>You and Ingunn are really inspring me to put together some capsules myself (if I can just get my head around my new Bright Spring colors...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-casual-capsule-take-2#post-1019381 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 01:46:27 +0000 Jaime 1019381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with everyone who said this is much more exciting to us than to you! You look great. I especially like the taupe top semi-tuck looks but every single one works and works well. Looking forward to the smart casual capsule! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-casual-capsule-take-2#post-1019374 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 01:28:59 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1019374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great capsule, Suz. I like all the looks; you have a fab at-home wardrobe. I especially like the fuschia blazer on you. And I'd like a pair of those animal print pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-casual-capsule-take-2#post-1019348 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 00:32:54 +0000 sarah 1019348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great. You have just worn these clothes a lot, which is probably why you're not excited. But nevertheless you look quite put together. I think that by the time seasonal transitions arrive, we're ready for change. But with our cold spring and lingering warm weather, we ended up wearing a lot of the same clothes that we're wearing now quite late into summer. At least that might be contributing.</p> <p>You did inspire me to start "capsulizing" today, before the semester starts, so I have a clue about what to wear come Tues. (I've been living in BF shorts all summer). I'm also wondering about how late to wear white jeans in the fall. I know Angie views them as year-round wear, but I can't bring myself to wear them very late into fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-casual-capsule-take-2#post-1019343 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 00:24:31 +0000 kellygirl 1019343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great capsule, Suz! I love the variations--every one of them. You have a nice selection of bottoms and toppers. Love the fuchsia jacket, Breton tops and the animal print pants--so fun! I think this one is even more successful than the last one (and I thought the last one was pretty awesome.) you get a standing ovation from me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-casual-capsule-take-2#post-1019340 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 00:19:55 +0000 Deborah 1019340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, this is fab capsule.&nbsp;Do you think you are finding it un-exciting because it is so "you".&nbsp; I get into a place sometimes where I feel a little like I am wearing the same old things... I think I get a bit bored with myself.&nbsp; Then I pull out something like the jacket I posted yesterday (thank you for your comment) which makes me realise how much I love my 'same old' look .. does that make any sense? For the record, I find this capsule VERY exciting.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-casual-capsule-take-2#post-1019337 Mon, 02 Sep 2013 00:16:32 +0000 Anonymous 1019337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://m.gapcanada.ca/product.html?dn=gp600539003&#038;pdn=search" rel="nofollow">http://m.gapcanada.ca/product......pdn=search</a></p> <p>Here they are, Suz! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-casual-capsule-take-2#post-1019322 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 23:49:45 +0000 Suz 1019322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Niefern, the semi-tucked striped short sleeve is admittedly a stretch because it is a sort of firm knit fabric that does not drape well, and the top is relatively fitted. I could just wear it untucked and it works like that. Good eye.&nbsp;</p> <p>Oh-- and I notice in one pic the Breton sweater is stuck on my tank top -- it looks wonky.&nbsp;</p> <p>Joy, thank you.And here is the free app. I got for the collages: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/collageit-3-free/id675540049?mt=12">CollageIT3.&nbsp;</a>&nbsp;There's a pro version, too, but I don't know what it has. And there may well be better. This is my second experiment with it. I think the pics might be rather small? And are they dark? They look a bit dark to me.&nbsp;</p> <p>Caro, good question. I think I'm going to need to wear the capsule to decide what I would like to make it more exciting. Good eye about the scarf. The aesthetic is different. It was a gift from Mary K! And I actually love it. The difference is what makes it, IMO. Especially the difference in colour. It injects some warm sours into my ordinarily cool palette. Sadly, it's got holes in it now, so I really need to replace. I will be on the lookout for something with these colours but no fringe (or long enough to cut the fringe off) and a somewhat different pattern.&nbsp;</p> <p>Mona, I absolutely paired the whites -- just couldn't fit it into my collages.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks, Shedev! I will be watching yours with interest --we can cheer each other on.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ceit, thank you -- I am going to look for those!&nbsp;</p> <p>Vildy, thank you! I am honoured. I love the palette, too, and it's one that suits me, but you know...autumn and all that. Still, I think for work-at-home I will be happy, comfortable, and good with this. I just need a bag that works with it when I need to pop to the store.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/september-casual-capsule-take-2#post-1019316 Sun, 01 Sep 2013 23:43:38 +0000 Anonymous 1019316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have two pairs of those coated motos for fall -- I can't wait to wear them!
