There’s SO MUCH wind, Angie. I honestly didn’t think of that. </p> <p>(I will say, the wind doesn’t come up suddenly here.

The wrap style is GREAT for SoCal.

I just haven’t figured out how to differentiate what works and what doesn’t. Speaking of the two-piece jumpsuit look...I dug up some old pics (2017) of the lightweight pants that preceded this pair in my wardrobe. </p> <p>(Will respond to the rest of your great suggestions later.

I can totally see you in lantern pants or harem pants, so fun!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-capsule#post-2181589 Tue, 23 Mar 2021 12:51:39 +0000 Janet 2181589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Patagonia pants remind me of the sarong pants I got a couple of summers ago. Very breezy and fun —<br /> for me they are JFE so I have to be feeling good to wear them, but the silhouette is not in my comfort zone the way it is in yours. I think they’re a nice variation on your preferred loose pants style. Worth a try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-capsule#post-2181586 Tue, 23 Mar 2021 12:43:10 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2181586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Patagonia wrap pants look cool. Angie also featured something sorta like that by Athleta in a recent roundup. Mine are silk with a very busy pattern, think they are from that Pac-Sun store in the mall. I doubt you want anything so kitschy. </p> <p>Your preplanning continues to amaze and impress me. I’m thinking about giving myself a spring/summer capsule when we get back from our trip, and keeping most clothes in the cellar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-capsule#post-2181509 Tue, 23 Mar 2021 00:27:43 +0000 cat2 2181509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about the Everybody &amp; Everyone Fun Friday pant? It’s in a really pretty cream and brown print. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-capsule#post-2181496 Mon, 22 Mar 2021 23:01:56 +0000 Carla 2181496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More love for your rust pieces, and looking to see what you source in ivory. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-capsule#post-2181491 Mon, 22 Mar 2021 22:33:35 +0000 Anonymous 2181491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all the rust pieces! To me the pants harmonize, though they may look different IRL than on my little screen.

I’m the opposite, and have much better luck with Tencel than with silk. It would be fun to have some Only Child pants to go with the top! Potential for a two-piece jumpsuit look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-capsule#post-2181379 Mon, 22 Mar 2021 14:53:04 +0000 Jenn 2181379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jonesy,&nbsp;</b>thanks for your insights. &nbsp;You're right, cotton feels great in summer, and I don't have a lot of it in my wardrobe...probably because I don't like ironing.</p> <p><b>Angie,&nbsp;</b>no, I'm ready for something different. I'm looking for a breezy, non-denim pant with some structure that I can wear with my black summer tops, and perhaps with a graphic tee. I know there was some talk about utility pants above, but those would be a separate purchase for me, as they're essentials. &nbsp;The EF replacement would be more of a statement piece for me.</p> <p>I'm thinking lantern pants, harems, woven wide legs, or maybe a wrap style like this?</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-garden-island-pants/192964346581.html?utm_content=s21_fundamentals&amp;utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;utm_campaign=Shopping%20-%20%20W%27s%20Sportswear&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwgOGCBhAlEiwA7FUXkhn-HsR2QyBJsXJPS627OILJcu4XEuhwe5QXovq1esHZoOZeNvSNZhoClw4QAvD_BwE">https://www.patagonia.com/prod.....=s21_funda</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-capsule#post-2181373 Mon, 22 Mar 2021 14:29:47 +0000 Angie 2181373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>VERY cohesive and thought out as always,&nbsp;<b>Jenn</b>. I like seeing the addition of more pattern! And ivory sounds great too.&nbsp;</p> <p>If I can wear Spring colours year round - you can wear Autumn colours year round :)</p> <p>Are you looking for the same type of EF wide leg and in that colour?&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-capsule#post-2181283 Mon, 22 Mar 2021 00:33:04 +0000 Jonesy 2181283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous colors and aspirational cohesion! I love that deep rust/terra cotta color and it suits you so well. I can see now how that patterned duster absolutely demanded to come home with you! A crisp cotton poplin is so nice for spring/summer, IMHO. Here's hoping your new replacement pair gives you at least 92 wears :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-capsule#post-2181278 Sun, 21 Mar 2021 22:56:57 +0000 Jenn 2181278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Gillian Pearl</b>, I think it’s a combination of the color and the knit fabrication. I would like something with a bit more structure—so lantern pants, woven joggers, or wide legs that don’t fall against the body. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-capsule#post-2181242 Sun, 21 Mar 2021 21:22:03 +0000 Anonymous 2181242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your level of organization. This is what I aspire to! Are you tired of the shape of the wide legs, the color, or something else about them? The suggestions above for lantern pants are promising.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-capsule#post-2181228 Sun, 21 Mar 2021 20:44:35 +0000 Jenn 2181228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>LaPed, &nbsp;</b>I just discovered Sotela recently and like a lot about them, but their pants are mostly Tencel and Lyocell, which aren't my favorite. I always seem to stain that instantly and it holds onto/shows oil stains like a bugger. For a similar vibe, I've been thinking about Only Child, who do cotton and linen.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>cat2,&nbsp;</b>sadly, Amour Vert's sizing doesn't work for me for bottoms, though I can wear some of their tops.</p> <p><b>Joy,&nbsp;</b>I have gotten some of my biggest workhorse pieces from Target over the years. Three are gems to be had there.</p> <p>Thanks,&nbsp;<b>Lynn.</p> <p>Sal</b>, probably not a skirt, because I often want to wear pants for a break from the slip shorts I wear under skirts and dresses. Another jumpsuit is a thought...<b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-capsule#post-2181212 Sun, 21 Mar 2021 19:34:23 +0000 Sal 2181212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely pieces Jenn- fingers crossed for the dress.</p> <p>In terms of pants replacements I think a contrast to jeans - or alternative - is what you want. I like lantern pants or utility pants - but it also could be a skirt or jumpsuit? </p> <p>I am no good for particular brands sorry - but I hope the right thing turns up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-capsule#post-2181185 Sun, 21 Mar 2021 18:11:40 +0000 Lynn 2181185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely capsule as alway Jenn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-capsule#post-2181178 Sun, 21 Mar 2021 17:00:46 +0000 Anonymous 2181178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see that that denim would be too heavy for your hot weather and would not be good for Disney rides that might get you wet. I like the idea of olive, maybe nylon cropped joggers. My best ever were from Target a couple of years ago. Strangers stopped me to ask where I found them. This summer I hope to roll up my olive EF crepe. Olive seems to go with everything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-capsule#post-2181175 Sun, 21 Mar 2021 16:36:30 +0000 cat2 2181175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, how about the Amour Vert Milo pant? It’s a utility pant in olive rather than a cargo, but might be fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-capsule#post-2181171 Sun, 21 Mar 2021 16:18:32 +0000 LaPed 2181171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all the rust! The toffee/brown pants do stand out as *slightly* out of sync with your tight palette. Have you looked at Sotela for pants? Natural fibers, inclusive sizing, good range of neutral/earthy colours... I think they have a wide-leg and a more tapered style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-capsule#post-2181166 Sun, 21 Mar 2021 15:41:40 +0000 Jenn 2181166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Joy,&nbsp;</b>my widelegs are polyester crepe, so I don't feel like I have to be precious about them. I don't usually wear polyester, but Eileen Fisher's crepe is an exception. I don't think denim would work similarly to these in my wardrobe (too heavy), but I've kind of been thinking about wideleg black denim, as well. Maybe next fall or winter.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>rachylou,&nbsp;</b>hah! I just don't like spring colors.</p> <p><b>shevia,&nbsp;</b>SoCal has a Mediterranean climate, so it makes sense it'd kind of be in sync with your -actual- Mediterranean climate. Go figure! Also, you've just described exactly how I want my wardrobe to work.</p> <p><b>Liesbeth,&nbsp;</b>I don't really vary my colors by season, but the lack of seasons really has me feeling a need to differentiate what I'm wearing. I think you're onto something with your comment about not having a variety of occasions to dress for, too.</p> <p><b>lisap</b>, agreed. I have been thinking about lantern pants too.</p> <p><b>nemosmom, </b>alas<b>,&nbsp;</b>the floral dress probably won't make it into the summer capsule. It's not breezy enough to be comfortable in truly hot weather.</p> <p><b>cat2,&nbsp;</b>you're so right about the seasons. I like the joke that LA's seasons are "Fire, Pilot, Mudslide, and Awards." I've been low-key shopping for olive cargos for a while now (they're on my essentials list) and they'e been ridiculously hard to find in a good fit and ethical manufacture. I've never had this much trouble before, but all my go-tos have failed me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-capsule#post-2181150 Sun, 21 Mar 2021 14:02:32 +0000 cat2 2181150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cargoes in a lightweight fabric would give you a change in silhouette and not be too hot for this leg of the year. I think SoCal has a total of two seasons, Summer and Not Summer. And Not Summer seems to be getting shorter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-capsule#post-2181148 Sun, 21 Mar 2021 13:36:08 +0000 nemosmom 2181148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Changing the way you split the seasons is really smart!&nbsp; Seasons <u>still</u> trip me up, even into year 4 of a new climate...</div><div><br /></div><div>I am interested to see how it goes keeping your core essentials available all year.&nbsp; I think it definitely works for SoCal!

I didn't think you wore different colors at different times of year? Are you craving something lighter? I cannot imagine a climate without 4 distinct season - though by now I've really had it with the cold and rain :). The lack of variety in dressing for the occasion these days is making winter seem even longer I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-capsule#post-2181098 Sun, 21 Mar 2021 03:49:09 +0000 Jaime 2181098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah brilliant switch of thinking regarding the seasons. Our summer also eats into most of Autumn, and our winter is more like many people's spring. Spring itself is more of that until it changes suddenly to Summer. Hmm.&nbsp;<br />Anyway, I like your new essentials based wardrobe thinking. Your core essentials probably work most of the year and your statement pieces can signify mood. Anyway that is what I got from it .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-capsule#post-2181080 Sun, 21 Mar 2021 02:33:36 +0000 rachylou 2181080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! I rather like autumn colours for California spring and spring colours for Cali winter... </p>
