I love how thorough you are with your plan. I think that corduroy skirt looks more cohesive with the rest of the capsule than the pants, so I am thinking that it isn’t just the color. Looking at the pants again, I think it is the visible pocket stitching that also makes them look more casual.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>I ordered a vegan bag from LaFlore Paris, and I could really picture one in your capsule. They’re made of cork! They have their original shape, a convertible backpack, for sale on their website:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://lafloreparis.com/">https://lafloreparis.com/</a>&nbsp;I think that size is great if you carry more each day and want it all to fit in your purse.&nbsp;</p> <p>I got their new smaller square shape, the Bebebark, in emerald (really more of a deep teal). Right now they are only available on their Indigogo campaign:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/bebebark#/">https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/bebebark#/</a>&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>They’ve started delivering, and I’m expecting mine in the next month. I’ll be sure to show pics and review when it arrives. I hope that they add the new smaller size to their regular website offerings in the future.&nbsp;</p> <p></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updated-wardrobe-ideas-what-do-you-think-this-time/page/2#post-2181058 Sun, 21 Mar 2021 00:19:17 +0000 Jenni NZ 2181058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good on you for research and planning! I am in the science field too and research many things thoroughly but in the past not my wardrobe! When I was young what to buy seemed to come instinctively ( pre-children) , then I sort of lost my way for a while, then in late 40s weight gain and desperate buy,buy, buy... things are better now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updated-wardrobe-ideas-what-do-you-think-this-time/page/2#post-2180710 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 22:01:53 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2180710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you keep your eyes peeled, I bet you’ll find more dark florals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updated-wardrobe-ideas-what-do-you-think-this-time/page/2#post-2180705 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 21:57:31 +0000 N 2180705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gillian that is so helpful, Thank you!! I was actually thinking the same about the ankle pants. Maybe it is the colour, i'm not sure. I did find a skirt in a similar colour, but it is corduroy so might also be a bit casual?<br /> The swimsuit print is gorgeous!! I do want to add some more prints like that one to the wardrobe but even though there was a matching dress (though I think more for poolside) the shape wouldn't work well. </p> <p>The neckline of the cardis over the cowls is something id not thought too much about so that is very useful. Yes I think i'd need some different necklines maybe for the cardis. </p> <p>Yes I was thinking about the sandals probably needing to be a bit earlier too<br /> I do want to get the linen pants though too, though I suppose the jeans can wait...maybe i'll have a little switch around. </p> <p>Yes I realised that both the purses were burgundy, I really need a navy one or a lighter colour one instead. The choice in vegan bags is limited, so even finding one in the right colour with the right colour hardware is a bit difficult. Plus I prefer to use the companies that try to use recycled materials. I'll have to keep my eye out. </p> <p>As for pumps, yes probably i'll wait until I have some ballet flats or loafers in another colour. The rothy's look good but until I get the first pair them i'm not sure how sophisticated vs casual they look. They do come in a lot of colours and styles though so could get another pair if I like the first ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updated-wardrobe-ideas-what-do-you-think-this-time/page/2#post-2180697 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 21:33:17 +0000 Anonymous 2180697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this! I’ll try to give an in-depth analysis because I think that’s how you operate with planning (I do too, so I appreciate it).</p> <p>Overall aesthetic: I think you nailed it for the look you want. This is a beautiful and coordinated yet interesting mix.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>Colors: So far I think you’re a Soft Autumn, and I think you will look good in these colors even if it doesn’t hit every one of the autumn recommendations. Navy is a classic, and you really need a classic for this style. If you worry about adding more autumn colors in the future you could always try it with little accents like a scarf tied on your bag.</div><div><br /></div><div>Silhouette: Also looks great to me, and I think once you start acquiring some pieces and putting together looks you will easily know which silhouettes you prefer to create.&nbsp;</div><div><br /><div>Notes on individual pieces: <ul> <li>Will layering crew neck cardigans over cowl neck tops bother you? Sometimes I struggle to get the necklines to work together. Maybe add one draped neckline cardigan or topper if that is a concern.</li> <li>If it were me I would move the sandals and espadrilles to an earlier month in the shopping plan to get more wear over this summer. I’d probably swap them with some pants that could be bumped back.&nbsp;</li> <li>Are both purses deep burgundy? Maybe navy or a different color for one? Both in burgundy looks very fall/winter to my eye.&nbsp;</li> <li>I’m not crazy about the rhubarb ankle pants. To me they don’t look quite as sophisticated as the other items.</li> <li>The swimsuit is gorgeous, and the print adds a touch of more color to your capsule. A print scarf for autumn/winter might be a good addition to add that factor to the colder months.&nbsp;</li> <li>The pumps are beautiful, and I personally would hold off on buying any more pairs until you see how many times those get worn in a month. A different dressy shoe might be more practical with some of the outfits and your lifestyle. Maybe another loafer, a sleek ballet flat, oxfords...</li> </ul> </div></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updated-wardrobe-ideas-what-do-you-think-this-time/page/2#post-2180513 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 13:12:52 +0000 smittie 2180513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super! I think the sweaters with the interesting stitching are so cool.<br /> Navy and red and some of my favourite colours to wear too.</p> <p>Really lovely picks. Make sure you’ve got all your seasons covered, and to buy enough for your dominant season.<br /> Good job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updated-wardrobe-ideas-what-do-you-think-this-time/page/2#post-2180508 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 12:56:05 +0000 N 2180508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn, you are right! I actually do this a lot, make lists and over plan things, and things don't always turn out how I expected, though most things do, however I do have experience with things that don't work. I usually return straight away or will sell on. I'm not someone who tries to hang on to things hoping they'll work. I can usually tell if something isn't right (be that clothes, furniture, kitchenware etc) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updated-wardrobe-ideas-what-do-you-think-this-time/page/2#post-2180507 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 12:51:03 +0000 N 2180507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenny NZ I research everything like this, always have. Diet, home wear, furniture anything i'm buying I look into. I think its because i'm a scientist, we like our research haha. I don't think I can easily shop in store anymore unless I already know what i'm going for exactly. I don't tend to be as happy with anything i've bought on the off chance and often regret it. I seldom regret any of the purchases i've researched, unless they aren't what I expected when it arrives, and then they get returned straight away. My current closet is the way it is because I wasn't taking into account style at all, only ethics and sustainability and they very much fit that bill. I've got to the point though that I want to start looking good too. </p> <p>Synne you might be right about the one year plan being optimistic. I think so too, but i'll have a fair amount if it bought within a year anyway. Will keep buying the following year so that I don't have to replace everything as much as I do now. I read somewhere you should expect to get at least 30 wears out of each piece of clothing...well since I wear all my pieces at least once a week, sometimes even more, they'll have been worn at least 50 times in one year. One year seems so little, I want to keep my things for at least 10! Maybe i'm asking the impossible haha. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updated-wardrobe-ideas-what-do-you-think-this-time/page/2#post-2180505 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 12:50:05 +0000 Jenn 2180505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What fun to be able to build a whole wardrobe from scratch! It’s like playing with paper dolls right now, but I’ll echo Staysfit about not getting too invested in any particular item. This is something I still struggle with...it’s difficult sometimes to separate a piece from the idea of that piece, if that makes sense, and “perfect on paper” can end up being a mistake in real life. </p> <p>That being said, your collection looks great, and this is a super-exciting project. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updated-wardrobe-ideas-what-do-you-think-this-time/page/2#post-2180503 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 12:33:40 +0000 N 2180503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kkards! Thank you. The mini is from Boden and they do different lengths so i'll order the long length for people over 5'10", perhaps the picture is of the petite one. </p> <p>As for the heels, it says 2.5 inch, again perhaps they've pictured the smaller size shoe as heels look bigger on those as there is less length so steeper looking than the larger sizes. The taupe boots are 3 inch and I'm iffy with those, but they are boots. The 2.5 should be okay I think. Maybe they look less high here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updated-wardrobe-ideas-what-do-you-think-this-time/page/2#post-2180501 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 12:25:37 +0000 Synne 2180501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely list! I do think that your one-year plan is a little optimistic though.. But you seem to have an excellent plan! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updated-wardrobe-ideas-what-do-you-think-this-time/page/2#post-2180477 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 11:15:14 +0000 Bijou 2180477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a nice template to build your wardrobe. I think your plan is very good to have some dressy classic items, as people in Japan are into dressing up. A Burberry trench is a staple of Tokyo style. Burberry trenches come in many colours, so when buying in store, you can select the right neutral shade for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updated-wardrobe-ideas-what-do-you-think-this-time#post-2180475 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 10:50:40 +0000 kkards 2180475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! Cohesive and well thought out<br />I do have questions about 2 of the items. The navy mini, are you comfortable with the length? And the burgundy heels look really high, do you need/will you wear something that high?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updated-wardrobe-ideas-what-do-you-think-this-time#post-2180474 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 10:44:17 +0000 Staysfit 2180474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your color palette is perfect. &nbsp;I think everything here will look wonderful on you. &nbsp;I have an urge to mimic that People Tree cardigan. &nbsp;It’s pretty, and perfect for layering during transitional weather. &nbsp;Burberry trenches are very costly here but I found mine on sale at the end of a season. I know they say Burberry trenches don’t go on sale, but I found mine at the end of a season.... &nbsp; I try not to get too invested in any one item, but I maintain the concept, color and silhouettes, because my experience has taught that there will always be something else.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updated-wardrobe-ideas-what-do-you-think-this-time#post-2180457 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 08:58:46 +0000 Star (Lise) 2180457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like a fabulous capsule is under way - well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updated-wardrobe-ideas-what-do-you-think-this-time#post-2180456 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 08:35:22 +0000 Jenni NZ 2180456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Incredible planning. I have never built a wardrobe like this. Maybe how I ended up with 200 items or more at my highest!<br /> It’s a good idea! They look beautifully cohesive and likely to suit you. The colours should suit the “soft autumn” you think you are. But more important than that is that you feel happy and that you look good in them.<br /> I hope not too many sell out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updated-wardrobe-ideas-what-do-you-think-this-time#post-2180455 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 08:29:47 +0000 N 2180455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Minaminu I've got one pinned from Amour Lux as well. I'll also look in Petit bateau, I just liked the sustainability part of Sezane, but I do like that Armour lux is made in France. I think Saint James too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updated-wardrobe-ideas-what-do-you-think-this-time#post-2180448 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 08:11:00 +0000 Minaminu 2180448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice range of colours, I can see them working well together! You can get the marinieres at Petit Bateau or st James, they are always on stock and imho better quality than Sezane.</p> <p>My wardrobe is mainly black, navy, cream, charcoal and some burgundy/pigeon blue. I realised last year that it is too dark and I am now in the process of adding more cream and rose to soften it up. </p> <p>You may want to consider increasing some light neutrals to add more variety. Good luck with the research! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updated-wardrobe-ideas-what-do-you-think-this-time#post-2180447 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 08:06:45 +0000 N 2180447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>October (Birthday month): </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updated-wardrobe-ideas-what-do-you-think-this-time#post-2180446 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 08:06:10 +0000 rachylou 2180446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All right!

The other one (the burgundy skirt, is gone forever). I think the pink ones will need to be bought before Autumn hits (maybe some will even go in the sale...) I'll probably leave the burgundy until autumn as more styles will come out too and focus on more summer pieces at first. </p> <p>Rachylou, my first shop will be from Sezane. </p> <p>The marinieres with the golden rimmed buttons and a pair of jeans and the pink shirt-jacket. If I pair the jeans with a navy top already in my closet and the pink jacket, that's an outfit, or the navy striped one and the pink with the jeans. The red probably won't go, too many different colours for my liking but it probably could work otherwise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updated-wardrobe-ideas-what-do-you-think-this-time#post-2180437 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 06:30:11 +0000 rachylou 2180437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say, do you have a buying plan? Like burgundy top and skirt first... that sort of thing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updated-wardrobe-ideas-what-do-you-think-this-time#post-2180434 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 06:13:16 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2180434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s a very nice looking collection. I’m also excited for you to start buying things. I’m curious how the next stages will play out, as you continue to discover more about yourself and as fashion does what it does. These all look like the kinds of essentials that stick around for a long time, but of course companies don’t know your plan, and might stop making one or the other, maybe before you get it or maybe if you need to replace a piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updated-wardrobe-ideas-what-do-you-think-this-time#post-2180430 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 05:38:52 +0000 Sloper 2180430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very well thought-out collection and color palette.</p> <p>Can I have it please? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updated-wardrobe-ideas-what-do-you-think-this-time#post-2180428 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 05:01:04 +0000 N 2180428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RainB yes that was my aim, I really want each item to work with a lot of other items. I think it is necessary when you have such small wardrobe. I think its good even when you have a big wardrobe, much easier to find an outfit and less likely to make a style mistake. </p>
