It's really inspiring to look at what you've come up with, and I am really loving your colors and textures. Thank you for posting these! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-capsule---part-1-carved-moroccan-screen-white-out/page/2#post-1324130 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 22:13:57 +0000 Aida 1324130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh how lovely! I love your inspiration photo, I could easily use that for my own outfits too ^^ You did an excellent job with the light colors, you're totally rocking them. They all feel bright and airy while the focus is on your pretty face and hair even though the outfits are very interesting, which is my favorite thing about wearing light outfits myself. In particular, the cream+gray combos are very striking on you. I love everything about #1-4, so so good. No surprise that I love the little metallic heels with #4a and b; those look more summery, the two with the booties read more early fall. The last one in #4 would also be fun with a black bag for a more graphic overall look. In #5 I see the Moroccan inspiration, just not necessarily the soft shades from the photo; those look like great casual outfits for a warm day. Definitely see the graffiti crossover coming through in #6, which is pretty fun. Nice subtler print mixes and light layering, and it's also great to see these types of outfits in lighter shades. What a fabulous experiment!</p> <p>(Also had to do a quick double take about why is my cat over at your place?? Very similar coloring!)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-capsule---part-1-carved-moroccan-screen-white-out/page/2#post-1323882 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 17:40:23 +0000 rabbit 1323882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Diana</b>! &nbsp;I was unsure about keeping that cardigan (I haven't worn it out yet) but I really like that look too so I think I will.</p> <p>thanks <b>Aubergine</b> and <b>Cheryl </b>:)</p> <p><b>Neel,</b> thanks, I like those watercolor blues too.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-capsule---part-1-carved-moroccan-screen-white-out#post-1323164 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 19:26:35 +0000 Neel 1323164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Fantastic inspiration picture and gorgeous outfits! 5 is my absolute favorite ... Mainly because I am a color girl :).

I keep trying to pick a favorite, and utterly failing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-capsule---part-1-carved-moroccan-screen-white-out#post-1323044 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 16:31:34 +0000 Diana 1323044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!&nbsp; This is such a beautiful collection of outfits.&nbsp; I love them all, but the second one on #4 (with the kitten heels and clutch) is my absolute favorite.&nbsp; I adore the combination of the soft color palette with the sharp angles from the shoes and clutch.&nbsp; So gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-capsule---part-1-carved-moroccan-screen-white-out#post-1323042 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 16:27:29 +0000 rabbit 1323042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much&nbsp;<b>&nbsp;suzyq, annagybe, shevia,</b> and<b> jackiec </b>:)</p> <p><b>Gigi </b>- thanks! I found that every time I was looking to buy an item&nbsp;in white, I preferred something I found in this pale blue/gray instead so I kind of made it a neutral. &nbsp;The heels weren't getting worn at all (I'd bought them for a wedding)&nbsp;but I'm glad I decided to try them on with pants for the first time. &nbsp;They need a little stretching but then I should put them into rotation a bit.</p> <p><b>sweet pea</b> - welcome! &nbsp;I think I got that tuck idea from Cocolion. &nbsp;I like it for showing a bit of belt in a casual way, when a centered semi-tuck looks off for some reason.</p> <p><b>Beth Ann </b>- thank you. &nbsp; Yes I was thinking&nbsp;#6 was more for getting near&nbsp;fall or cooler mornings. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Alana </b>- I've got a capsule based on the second look I'll try to post soon.</p> <p><b>alaskagirl </b>- the inspiration photo was from an exercise <b>La Belle Demimondaine</b> posted about. &nbsp;It was fun, I both worked backward from the clothes I had to choose photos, and them created outfits thinking about the photos as well.</p> <p><b>Cocolion </b>- thanks for the tips, I think you are right, because of the angle of the skirt it helps if either the hem of the top&nbsp;parallels that angle, or is more of a cropped/middle length. &nbsp; I will wear the sweater sleeves uncrunched (that's how they want to be anyway, they fall down when I crunch them). &nbsp; Also I experimented with the lacy tunic this morning and found that I could tie a knot in the back (there are sort of tails back there) and tuck it under and therefore create the look of a loose tuck at high hip height. &nbsp;It also looks cool in the back. &nbsp;I think that helps the proportion. &nbsp;</p> <p><b>La Belle</b> - thank you for the inspiration! &nbsp;It was fun. &nbsp;Yes I was thinking about fine tonal detail layering in the last group of outfits, so more similar to the screen weathering pattern.</p> <p>Thanks <b>Angie</b>! &nbsp;I feel pretty happy with the colors, I needed to try more whites and near whites with all the great examples on YLF.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-capsule---part-1-carved-moroccan-screen-white-out#post-1322962 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 14:26:40 +0000 jackiec 1322962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an amazing exercise - your creativity shines through! I think your first outfit absolutely captures the inspiration photo (Moroccan). All of them have that lovely taste but they do run darker and darker (OK I just saw the next photos so it makes more sense). I really love how you are interchanging the clutches/bags and the shoes. Every change is so gradual yet it all works brilliantly. The third slide with the skinnies and flowy cardigan is my next fav grouping. The pewter kitten heels work really well. Well done!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-capsule---part-1-carved-moroccan-screen-white-out#post-1322950 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 14:17:55 +0000 Angie 1322950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote killer all round. I especially love #2, #3 and #4. Such a pretty and on trend palette. Beautiful inspiration photo too. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-capsule---part-1-carved-moroccan-screen-white-out#post-1322916 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 13:07:09 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1322916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How on earth did I miss this post yesterday??? &nbsp; Rabbit, I am in total awe. &nbsp; You took an abstract image and put together something so artistic, so gorgeous, and so absolutely 'you'. &nbsp; &nbsp;Just perfect! &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>You are such an inspiration! &nbsp;&nbsp;I think I am going to take an hour this afternoon, and play in my closet. &nbsp;I was using my images to streamline and downsize a little - I hadn't even thought ahead to actual outfit concepts :)</p> <p>I am hard-pressed to pick a favorite grouping - they are all just so very perfect. &nbsp; But I am most struck by the cleverness of the final grouping, because you captured such a minute detail about the screen - the weathered patina of the painted wood. &nbsp;It took me several minutes of study to pick that out - I just knew there was something there. &nbsp; It's like being in an art gallery, while sitting in my own chair and sipping coffee :D</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-capsule---part-1-carved-moroccan-screen-white-out#post-1322850 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 07:48:23 +0000 CocoLion 1322850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I posted about this, but I am in the process of experimenting with capsules myself. &nbsp;More for the purpose of getting real about my lifestyle needs. &nbsp;But -- I did not even think to look for inspiration in mood boards. &nbsp;What a great idea! &nbsp;Off to start a new pin board! &nbsp;Thanks for the idea Rabbit.</p> <p>These are beautiful, seasonally appropriate looks. &nbsp;They have something fresh about them, a bit unexpected. &nbsp;I can't pick a favorite as they are all so good.</p> <p>I haven't read everyone else's comments, but I'm thinking the new asymmetrical skirt works better with shorter tops. &nbsp;I like it best in the two end pictures of the second slide. &nbsp;These tops are shorter, and where the sleeve is unscrunched, you get stronger architecture (there is enough structure without arm skin IMO). &nbsp;I love the inspiration top with skinnies in slide 1. &nbsp;With the skirt in slide 1, something looks off about the proportion. &nbsp;Although maybe I just need to adjust my eye? &nbsp;Hope you don't mind the frank input.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-capsule---part-1-carved-moroccan-screen-white-out#post-1322828 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 06:19:45 +0000 catgirl 1322828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are so lovely.&nbsp; I especially adore your inspiration photo idea and wonder if that is a tool more of us could use to narrow down capsules.&nbsp; Something about that really appeals to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-capsule---part-1-carved-moroccan-screen-white-out#post-1322807 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 05:39:23 +0000 Alana in Canada 1322807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these looks. What Beth Anne said. I am so glad we will be treated to two more capsules based on your images. This is creative dressing! I love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-capsule---part-1-carved-moroccan-screen-white-out#post-1322765 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 04:00:41 +0000 Beth Ann 1322765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the softness and drape.&nbsp; You managed these looks while retaining a modern, artistic, but not fussy, sensibility.&nbsp; The looks in #6 will flow beautifully into fall.&nbsp; I'm loving the colors in #3 and #4 particularly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-capsule---part-1-carved-moroccan-screen-white-out#post-1322741 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 03:32:28 +0000 Jaime 1322741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful inspiration and really great outfits. I like how you remix your shoes and bags to make changes in the looks. Extremely well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-capsule---part-1-carved-moroccan-screen-white-out#post-1322642 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 01:10:05 +0000 sweet pea 1322642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cool. &nbsp;I like everything, but especially #2. &nbsp;I am new to YLF, and appreciate your pairings with flat sandals. &nbsp;Also, I am struggling with the partial tuck, and I want to try the "off to the side tuck" that you did in #5. &nbsp;Thanks for the inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-capsule---part-1-carved-moroccan-screen-white-out#post-1322520 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 23:09:27 +0000 Gigi 1322520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits! My absolute fave is the one with the metallic heels. The colors in that outfit really match your natural coloring so well...really outstanding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-capsule---part-1-carved-moroccan-screen-white-out#post-1322469 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 21:45:17 +0000 annagybe 1322469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really like #2- #4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-capsule---part-1-carved-moroccan-screen-white-out#post-1322466 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 21:41:56 +0000 suzyq 1322466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your style! &nbsp;And that silver clutch is a find </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-capsule---part-1-carved-moroccan-screen-white-out#post-1322437 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 21:12:08 +0000 rabbit 1322437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>E </b>- yes, the last pics are more of a blend and more distantly inspired by&nbsp;all three inspiration pics (kind of a ven diagram thing), which are very different from each other, here are the other two below. &nbsp; I just tried to divide up the whole capsule so I wouldn't have a really long post. &nbsp;I'll post the graffiti based capsule soon.</p> <p>Thanks <b>Diane</b> - good tip about swapping the bags. &nbsp;The t-shirt has a geometric pattern (hard to see in the pic) so that's why I liked the clutch, but I'm a newbie with bags and what works with what.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Liz</b>- yeah, I'm a pretty frugal shopper. &nbsp;It takes time but I like the sifting through process and often have a fairly&nbsp;clear idea of what I'm looking for.</p> <p>Thanks <b>nicole, claire </b>and<b> tanya</b>!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-capsule---part-1-carved-moroccan-screen-white-out#post-1322396 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 20:19:07 +0000 Tanya 1322396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these outfits are beyond beautiful!

You look amazing rabbit, and I love your inspiration picture. The white/light neutrals are so modern yet ethereal at the same time.

You wear soft creams, whites, greys and blues so well. I love all iterations and I think the only minor tweek I might do is swap the bags in the first and third photo in #3. You have a fabulous cohesive style Rabbit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-capsule---part-1-carved-moroccan-screen-white-out#post-1322331 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 18:52:40 +0000 E 1322331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great idea, and great execution. That's a gorgeous photo; I might have to do an outfit inspired by it too!</p> <p>Like Vix, I found #6 to be the odd outfits out: I still loved them, but they didn't seem quite as close to your inspiration pic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-capsule---part-1-carved-moroccan-screen-white-out#post-1322323 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 18:38:50 +0000 rabbit 1322323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Carter</b> and <b>lisap&nbsp;</b>! :)</p> <p><b>Vix </b>- thanks for the in-depth ideas. &nbsp; Ha, yes, #6 I kind of lumped with this group due to pattern mixing (and a boho feel to the scarves), but it is a little more in the spirit of my other images.</p> <p>I will try out the leather bag more with&nbsp;the short-sleeve tops, good idea.&nbsp;I've generally interchanged bags&nbsp;based on how much stuff I need to carry. &nbsp;The clutch also has a strap, but it looks a little&nbsp;awkward.</p> <p>Good point about the direction of the long point on the skirt. &nbsp;In the mirror I liked the points of the top and skirt going in different directions (actually I have several tops with similar qualities), but after photographing them I agree with you, it works much&nbsp;better to my eye&nbsp;if they are parallel. &nbsp; Thanks!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-capsule---part-1-carved-moroccan-screen-white-out#post-1322322 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 18:38:37 +0000 Anonymous 1322322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - what an interesting exercise, and I'm awe of the time and effort you put into this. &nbsp;You have assembled a really great collection of outfits based on just a few pieces, and I like everything I see here. &nbsp;Kudos to you too for the Goodwill pieces - I always admire women who know how to find great things there. &nbsp;I think you look fantastic, and nicely different in each pic! &nbsp;Using a mood board sounds like a useful thing.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-capsule---part-1-carved-moroccan-screen-white-out#post-1322312 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 18:22:26 +0000 Vix 1322312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Rabbit --</p> <p>Wow, I'm in love with inspiration photo #1 and think you've done a great job of capturing its spirit.</p> <p>[I admit you've lost me with #6, which does seem grittier and more likely to align with&nbsp;the graffiti photo I haven't seen -- but if you get the associations that's what matters!]</p> <p>I have a few very small&nbsp;"what ifs/not sures" to take or leave....</p> <p>Re the clutch -- I find I like it more vs less&nbsp;it based on what you're wearing. <ul> <li>I think it works well with the jeans/pants outfits -- probably a "structure with structure" thing.</li> <li>I love it with the textured sweater in photo #3&nbsp;that echos its quilting, and with the textured sweater in #2.</li> <li>I like it less with the short-sleeved or sleeveless tops, which I thought was a proportion thing --&nbsp;but have just realized you're holding it by the handle in those so maybe that's what I'm reacting to! However, I'd still explore trying the be-strapped bag in #3 with those bare arm styles.</li> </ul> Re the awesome skirt --</p> <p>It looks as if you can wear it longer on your right/our left or vice versa? In photo 3&nbsp;with the short-sleeve top, I kind of want you to wear it as you're doing in the others (longer on your right), which I *think* would match the asymmetry of the top. But only if you want a less dynamic/more restful silhouette. ;)</p>
