But I do get tired of wearing them too so I like to have options. I just need to push myself to wear those options sometimes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-active-casual-capsule-collection-in-finds#post-1790778 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 16:48:58 +0000 Meredith 1790778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Texstyle: Smart idea! And for the record, I don't think Angie was knocking your selections. I think she jumped in with the reminder to me because she knows I have a specific goal of adding some pretty, floaty tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-active-casual-capsule-collection-in-finds#post-1790775 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 16:43:29 +0000 texstyle 1790775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Meredith - I added a black and floral tank to the mix (if it works out). I'm hoping it will work with the black skort for casual dinner out. I may have to add in my black sandals. At least there are a couple of "non tee" items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-active-casual-capsule-collection-in-finds#post-1790771 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 16:34:27 +0000 Anonymous 1790771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ryce - I tried on both the full length and the cropped linen pants from Athleta. I liked the cropped better. I think I like them better than the Caslon linen pants too. I just need to decide on length, as I am between tall and regular sizes. They would be awfully handy for my casual lifestyle and climate, and meet my goal of finding something other than jeans to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-active-casual-capsule-collection-in-finds#post-1790766 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 16:32:21 +0000 viva 1790766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great casual summer capsule! I hope other people will post collections. I really love looking at them; it's helpful especially when our styles overlap (and we definitely have casual overlap). Thanks for sharing, Tex. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-active-casual-capsule-collection-in-finds#post-1790764 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 16:28:48 +0000 Meredith 1790764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't worry, Angie! I'm referring to a small travel capsule I need for some very active and casual trips (canoeing, bike riding, camping) not daily wear. Thanks for looking out for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-active-casual-capsule-collection-in-finds#post-1790748 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 16:09:48 +0000 Suz 1790748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Terrific capsule. I really like the idea of a skort and might try one also. Hurray for the Eccos. Love mine, although I do add a Superfeet insole, probably because they were a bit wide for me and the insole seemed to help.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-active-casual-capsule-collection-in-finds#post-1790740 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 16:02:43 +0000 Anonymous 1790740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a terrific capsule! I think your climate and casual clothing needs are similar to mine. Color preferences, too!<br /> I have an especially hard time finding t-shirts that I like the look and feel of, but that are also substantial enough to a) not get holes and b) not be a little too clingy around my less-than-toned midsection. Like Angie mentioned, I've been trying to add some woven tops, but they are hard to find.<br /> I tried the Athleta linen pants in store and they were just too floppy. So thanks for highlighting that there is an ankle pant version as well. Think I'll check those out as well. Athleta should give you a comission for bringing them to our attention! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-active-casual-capsule-collection-in-finds#post-1790728 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 15:44:19 +0000 Angie 1790728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Meredith, you wanted to something OTHER than T-shirts. Just reminding you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-active-casual-capsule-collection-in-finds#post-1790716 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 15:29:59 +0000 Meredith 1790716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great capsule and very practical for a hot, active summer. I'd like to assemble something similar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-active-casual-capsule-collection-in-finds#post-1790710 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 15:14:44 +0000 Anonymous 1790710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks texstyle - I think I'm going to order the linen pants in both regular and tall to compare. I'm also glad I found a couple Boden dresses that will work for this summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-active-casual-capsule-collection-in-finds#post-1790699 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 14:53:46 +0000 texstyle 1790699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - Thanks!&nbsp; If I were to wear gear for my active days I'd likely be wearing gear nearly every day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-active-casual-capsule-collection-in-finds#post-1790697 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 14:50:03 +0000 Angie 1790697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>UBER Casual, and very nicely done. I appreciate your "gear-free" approach to this extremely casual capsule too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-active-casual-capsule-collection-in-finds#post-1790691 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 14:45:00 +0000 texstyle 1790691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>delurked - I love those Athleta linen crops. For me they serve as a nighttime dressy casual option when we might be outdoors and it's still warm (also can provide some mosquito protection on the legs if you are around water).&nbsp; I always size up in bottoms so the skinny fit of the AE bermudas for me is not really tight in any way. AE has changed these shorts this year however and I'm not loving them. The seem more stretchy and longer. Currently sending 2 new pair back after trying for replacements to the ones I purchased a couple of years back. Now I'm struggling on finding something to fill that void (my old ones are starting to show some wear). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-active-casual-capsule-collection-in-finds#post-1790486 Wed, 22 Mar 2017 23:00:17 +0000 Anonymous 1790486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recently tried on the Athleta linen crops. They are better for me that the full length ones, and I am considering them. I like the colors you have. I like Bermudas, but skinny shorts are a maybe for me. How do you find the fit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-active-casual-capsule-collection-in-finds#post-1790476 Wed, 22 Mar 2017 22:15:30 +0000 Style Fan 1790476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great capsule.&nbsp; I am eyeing that skort.&nbsp; What a great idea.&nbsp; Love your colours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-active-casual-capsule-collection-in-finds#post-1790463 Wed, 22 Mar 2017 21:40:59 +0000 texstyle 1790463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura - I've actually been wearing them and have a backup pair as well!</p> <p>Jenn - I know, I just can't get away from my favorite colors. I don't wear a lot of prints but I think it helps break things up to have at least a couple in the mix.</p> <p>lisap - :-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-active-casual-capsule-collection-in-finds#post-1790451 Wed, 22 Mar 2017 21:23:06 +0000 Anonymous 1790451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks.

You had me with your color scheme, of course, but I appreciate the prints and embellishments you've added to the basics pieces. I hope you take pics so we can see it in action. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-active-casual-capsule-collection-in-finds#post-1790434 Wed, 22 Mar 2017 20:52:57 +0000 Laura1975 1790434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You won't regret those white Eccos. They're like walking on air. I've got those and the black high top version. Fantastic, both of them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-active-casual-capsule-collection-in-finds#post-1790432 Wed, 22 Mar 2017 20:49:51 +0000 texstyle 1790432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been working on a summer active capsule and made a collection in Finds here <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/finds/collections/?collection=4011">https://youlookfab.com/finds/c.....ction=4011</a></p> <p>I thought some other casual summer members would enjoy taking a look.</p> <p>Colors:<br />Burgundy, Navy<br /> along with denim/chambry</p> <p>, Foilage Green, Tan (including my hair/skin), White and Blush are all in here.</p> <p>I need variety in colors bust still prefer some deeper shades in summer. Maybe it's a need to contrast all the brightness in the sky and landscape during summer. </p> <p>I have to include plenty of basic tees for times when I will be out walking during the day in 90-100 degrees.</p> <p>I'm trying another skort in black this time from Athleta. My version of a casual pencil skirt, not too short on me. I will bring another copy of the tan shorts as well. I find the skorts to be pretty darn comfortable and a nice change from shorts everyday. I feel like Angie may have suggested that to me at some point, Thanks Angie!</p> <p>I<br /> have to have very practical shoes - I will add another pair of sneakers but I<br /> don't have a Find for those yet. Shopping may be required.</p> <p>I wear jewelry most every day and would add mostly some gold and natural white stone items.</p> <p>I may still add/edit some things.</p> <p>Sidebar - I'm SO enjoying the burgundy KS handbag. Supersoft. A little slouchy when you have weight in it (slouch I love in this style). Much prettier color IRL. I'm wearing it into the summer - not sure I want to switch out! I love that it brings some color to otherwise neutral outfits.</p> <p> </p>
