It hardly even looks like you are wearing the same pieces from day to day because you style them so differently. I especially like day 2 with the printed cardigan and your skinny jeans/forever 21 jacket look from day 3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shinys-capsule-wardrobe-challenge/page/2#post-98862 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 04:52:56 +0000 shiny 98862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, I'm jealous because if I buy regular sized clothes, the belt loops are on my hips. </p> <p>Joy, I don't think I've ever seen that cream bow blouse on AT's site, or else I'd hand over the link so you could buy one. I found the blouse in the sales section of the store recently. The quality and fabric is really nice, and it feels nice. It's dressy but comfy to wear - my ideal!</p> <p>I don't know if anyone noticed, but when I wore it with the skirt, I tied it into a bow. When I wore it today, I left it partly tied but not in a bow so the ties created a long lean line, in lieu of the pearls. I actually tried it *with* the pearls which looked cool too, but it's Friday so I was going after a more casual look. </p> <p>The blouse has lots of potential for many different looks. It looks good tucked in to a skirt, left out and voluminous, bow tied, not tied, with a vest or V-neck sweater to show off the ... I don't know what it's called, not quite ruffles. Versatile - it was a great deal! If you find it, snap it up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shinys-capsule-wardrobe-challenge/page/2#post-98856 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 04:43:09 +0000 LoP 98856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing choices! I love all the pieces and how you mixed&amp;matched them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shinys-capsule-wardrobe-challenge/page/2#post-98828 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 02:38:34 +0000 Anonymous 98828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny, I enjoyed seeing how you met the challenge with such fabulous outfits. It's impossible to pick a favorite. Thank you and your photographer for posting your pictures. I'd like to steal that AT bow blouse, it is so cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shinys-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-98820 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 02:15:19 +0000 anne 98820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear belts in that spot too often, out of necessity because I am so long waisted that most belt loop are too high for my natural waist. It is encouraging that you can't tell you are wearing there in the pictures - it looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shinys-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-98799 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 01:23:35 +0000 Alecia 98799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny, I've been watching your week but not able to post much. Day 3 was my favorite. That look is so now. But they've all been really great. Nice job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shinys-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-98798 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 00:55:06 +0000 Ana 98798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great challenge! I've enjoyed seeing all the ladies posting their "capsule" wardrobe outfits.</p> <p>Shiny, you look fabulous (of course!). This latest outfit is very chic. I especially like the contrasting lining on the rolled up sleeves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shinys-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-98797 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 00:31:43 +0000 shiny 98797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Day 5:<br /> <a href="http://s386.photobucket.com/albums/oo309/lookingfabat43/capsule%20challenge/?action=view&#038;current=september2009053.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s386.photobucket.com/al.....009053.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shinys-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-98766 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 20:43:50 +0000 Danja 98766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic!!! I love the outfit. So chic! I love that you belted the BF jacket. Very clever. And I like play of two shades of black. Can't wait to see Friday's outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shinys-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-98739 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 17:55:13 +0000 shiny 98739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Ellen (and everyone else). I also really like #3, Wednesday's outfit. I am thrilled to have found this pleather jacket at F21: it's exactly the look I wanted, and who can beat the price. It's thin enough I could put a winter coat over it too. And the zippers on the elbows are just so darn cute. </p> <p>I also felt 100% fab in yesterday's outfit. I may have discovered the secret to belts! Typically I find them uncomfortable. But I wore it up higher than I normally might - practically on my lower rib!! Despite how that sounds, it worked. Even after eating a huge mexican meal! I was perfectly comfortable, because it wasn't digging into soft flesh of my waist. </p> <p>I will also be combining the sheath with the AT top again... I really like how that turned out, with the collar layered over the neckline. I wouldn't have thought to do that, if it wasn't for this challenge pushing me to figure out a way to wear a sheath dress two different ways. That, and Angie's recent blog about combining ink blue and black, were my inspirations. </p> <p>Will post today's outfit (the last in the challenge) later tonight, after my photographer gets home from her swim meet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shinys-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-98690 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 13:40:44 +0000 Ellen 98690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE #3, Shiny! Exactly an outfit I want to imitate when dressing postpartum. I may go for cotton in the top for washability, but that looks so classic and so wearable. </p> <p>And that colour is perfect on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shinys-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-98688 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 13:26:14 +0000 rute 98688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous Shiny! You are an inspiration to me!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shinys-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-98658 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 04:34:48 +0000 Angie 98658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is nothing to forgive, Shiny! You can show off your waistline in a boyfriend jacket. It looks as wonderful belted :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shinys-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-98626 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 02:35:39 +0000 Tanya 98626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Shiny, you look gorgeous!

You really thought this through. I am kind of making it up as I go along and the outfits are of course not quite as glamorous as I would like or nowhere near as cute as yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shinys-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-98298 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 20:53:37 +0000 Dawn 98298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I love the day 1 outfit!

You look amazingly stylish Shiny. I can't decide whether I love the dress or the cardi/blouse/skirt outfit better. Both are fantastic. I especially love the navy collar on the dress, so unexpected yet lovely. Kudos to you for doing the capsule challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shinys-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-98248 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 17:47:14 +0000 kellygirl 98248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in agreement, day 3 is my hands down favorite so far.

(And I'm sticking with silver studs for accessory #5, will only use two purses this week).</p> <p>So day 3 outfit:</p> <p>3. UO Skinny jeans<br /> 6. Dark purple AT silk blouse<br /> 8. Black flats with snake-skin cap toe<br /> 10. F21 pleather moto jacket</p> <p>Accessories:<br /> 1. Cream clutch<br /> 3. Long pearl Necklace<br /> 5. Silver studs.</p> <p>Question: Does a cami count? Even if it's not supposed to show, just to add warmth? Because it got chilly today and this morning I was cold! It's starting to heat up but I'm wondering for the rest of the week?</p> <p>So far this is my favorite combo... what do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shinys-capsule-wardrobe-challenge#post-98180 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 12:35:39 +0000 kimlee 98180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny, you look amazing in both outfits.
