I have a (too small now) rust bikini from Target, from a couple years ago. Maybe they have that color again?</p> <p> The idea with my elemental capsules was that they're a template. The components should be fairly easy to replace as needed- instead of starting over if I have some whim of something different. </p> <p>The rip skirt has been good for wfh too, so not just intended for the pool/beach. You could just designate it as daily wear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-capsule#post-2133963 Thu, 16 Jul 2020 21:56:23 +0000 Anonymous 2133963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My rip skirt came today, a tropical print. Now to pick out a rash guard to wear with it and maybe a swim suit. The one I have has chocolate brown in the pattern of the tankini top and is the color of the bottom. Even Lands End’s selection does not include brown. Maybe I should start over with a black based capsule but it seems so old lady to me. ( thinking of family matriarchs). The rip skirt also has orange in it, another hard color to find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-capsule#post-2130683 Tue, 30 Jun 2020 18:28:14 +0000 Anonymous 2130683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything is in my 2 gear drawers Jessikams! Sleeveless tops, sports bras, socks, swimwear in one and bottoms and long sleeve tops in the other.<br /> "Capsule" is by color/function- though the black pieces I wear anytime.</p> <p>When I'm working outside the home though, I have a gym bag and a swim bag in my car at all times. When I get home I just replace the things and put the bags back in the car. It's a PITA. I do not miss carrying All That Stuff! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-capsule#post-2130552 Tue, 30 Jun 2020 05:27:37 +0000 Jessikams 2130552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is how I organize my fitness stuff too. One capsule for yoga; one for hiking/camping/fishing; one for pool/beach. There is some crossover but I know exactly what you mean about preferring “unmistakable” items— so it’s easy to put things in their correct home after laundry.</p> <p>Where do you keep your capsules? For me it’s separate duffel bags. Not ideal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-capsule#post-2130493 Mon, 29 Jun 2020 19:49:27 +0000 Anonymous 2130493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not feeling brights at all this year Angie, will leave them to you! Plus the Ripskirts don't have pockets, so one and done (probably) for me. </p> <p>I haven't tried it yet with a wet bum, since the pools aren't open yet, but did buy it for post pool "throw on and go." Meaning: it's 90 degrees and I don't want to be bothered with changing til I get home. </p> <p>"Post swim cozy" means: it's cold out, and too much bother to put my work clothes (often skirts/tights/or fitted ponte pants) back on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-capsule#post-2130477 Mon, 29 Jun 2020 17:14:44 +0000 nemosmom 2130477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great capsule, ST! Perfect for spending summer days on the water.&nbsp; I considered a ripskirt for commuting to/from the beach and pool. I remember driving after swimming and sometimes taking a detour to grab a bite to eat before going home. Too many times I showed up at a restaurant with a wet bum.... Of course, that was back when we actually could stop somewhere to eat... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-capsule#post-2130475 Mon, 29 Jun 2020 17:09:06 +0000 Angie 2130475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute!&nbsp;</p> <p>these would be cute in the mix too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-capsule#post-2130447 Mon, 29 Jun 2020 14:30:10 +0000 texasgal 2130447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Q about RipSkirt- made it a new post </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-capsule#post-2130443 Mon, 29 Jun 2020 14:25:23 +0000 Helena 2130443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great, I love these colours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-capsule#post-2130436 Mon, 29 Jun 2020 13:24:57 +0000 Bijou 2130436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a great water capsule. I like to have both a one piece and bikini swim suit to wear and getting matching sarong or cover up is such a great idea. I like how your pieces look stylish but also very functional. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-capsule#post-2130409 Mon, 29 Jun 2020 11:01:28 +0000 Anonymous 2130409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd happily give you the swim cap, Brooklyn! It's silicone, so very tight and uncomfortable. The black is latex so not as bad. Hopefully the new pool they're building will have salt water so I can do without!<br /> Athleta and Lands End have a lot of mix and match unfrumped. Swim outlet may be a place to check too. I like having black personally cause more options!<br /> Thanks Sal and Shevia!<br /> I thought of Lands End first, Mainelady. There are definitely some things I like. A sleeveless rash guard is a thought, though will definitely want a long sleeved one for cold swimming pools. Zip would be very practical! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-capsule#post-2130392 Mon, 29 Jun 2020 08:23:17 +0000 Brooklyn 2130392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is very well planned. I’m impressed! And you’ve got a tie dye swim cap!!! Speedo. I’m sure it is homesick for Australia.<br /> *Coming to carry it away.* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-capsule#post-2130385 Mon, 29 Jun 2020 07:14:16 +0000 Sal 2130385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great pieces / you do find gear in good colours. Your habitat is very pretty too:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-capsule#post-2130360 Mon, 29 Jun 2020 03:03:13 +0000 unfrumped 2130360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great planning!<br /> I have been trying to put together a pool capsule update. Mostly tankini-swimshorts as I can never get fit in a one piece— brought home yet again after I ordered some Miracle suits. . But continue to have trouble matching things up as a top I like may be sold out or not have coordinating bottoms or vice versa. Plus a swim short brand changed styling so harder to adjust the waist. But still working on it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-capsule#post-2130352 Mon, 29 Jun 2020 02:43:43 +0000 Jaime 2130352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such beautiful colors! You could use the swim cap as your palette! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-capsule#post-2130326 Sun, 28 Jun 2020 21:29:50 +0000 Mainelady 2130326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a great capsule going! I like the colors you have chosen and the functionality of each item. &nbsp;If it helps, Lands End has several different tankini tops available. &nbsp;One item I have found really helpful is a sleeveless zip front rash guard. &nbsp;It functions like a tankini top, but looks more like a vest.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-capsule#post-2130296 Sun, 28 Jun 2020 18:31:28 +0000 Anonymous 2130296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to be of help! Basically my goal is to have sort of a template for my gear capsules. Color scheme + needed pieces for any seasons I use them for. Then as pieces wear out I'm not starting over from scratch.<br /> My biking and hiking capsules are in my finds too- will post about them this week so I'm not a forum hog </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-capsule#post-2130295 Sun, 28 Jun 2020 18:31:27 +0000 Minaminu 2130295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea and very inspiring! I like the chosen range of colour, it works well together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-capsule#post-2130291 Sun, 28 Jun 2020 18:24:44 +0000 Suz 2130291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a terrific capsule. This looks so easy, comfortable, and practical! I like the mix and match options with shorts/ skorts/ ripskirt.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am inspired. I am in the process of slowly building a couple of fitness/ practical capsules as well. Mine are gardening, biking, and hiking. I'm still not "there" with any of them but mulling it all over. This is very helpful to me. Thanks for posting.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-capsule#post-2130290 Sun, 28 Jun 2020 18:14:52 +0000 Anonymous 2130290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have 2 beach towels and a swim bag in same colors, though the bag isn't really big enough. Also- had to get a plastic water bottle. My nice metal one keeps water cold inside, but super hot on outside after just a few minutes in sun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-capsule#post-2130289 Sun, 28 Jun 2020 18:11:47 +0000 Anonymous 2130289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks nuancedream! A dress like the Sweaty Betty could be good as a coverup and maybe even for kayaking too.<br /> I like using the teal skort/top for SUP cause they look like a dress together, so are ok if I do other errands while out. Plus they are bright- so I'm not run over by jet skis! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-capsule#post-2130287 Sun, 28 Jun 2020 18:07:13 +0000 Anonymous 2130287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great idea. I really need to work on mine as sales will start soon and can no longer wear my newest swim suit due to my glucose meter. No one piece. A tankini sounds like the best idea. Don’t forget a couple of great beach towels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-capsule#post-2130284 Sun, 28 Jun 2020 18:01:11 +0000 nuancedream 2130284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;How inspirational, suntiger. I am a kayaker too and DH and I have a trip to Lopez Island, WA coming up in a couple of weeks.&nbsp; I am good for swimsuits and water shoes but I have been unable to find the very popular Ripskirt in my size and in the pattern I most like. I do have a wrinkle resistant skirt that I can pop on over my swimsuit but I think it is a bit dressy for the island.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/water-capsule#post-2130266 Sun, 28 Jun 2020 17:27:33 +0000 Anonymous 2130266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of my goals this year was to create little elemental capsules for my fitness activities. The first is Water- for swim, water aerobics, SUP, and other boating.<br /> This is what I'm using now- and yes the Rip Skirt arrived, wearing today! Length on me about same as model. </p> <p>Planned additions and changes are:<br /> Better boat shoes- these slip :(<br /> A tankini top- black or black with teal print<br /> A rashguard- same as above, for cooler days on water and cold swimming pools- so must be chlorine resistant<br /> Post swim cozy outfit- full length (30 in) joggers or other loose pants and a top or 2 to go. Teal/navy color scheme- or black if unmistakable from usual sleep/lounge wear (for quick sorting). Not a priority till cold weather, if swimming at a gym is even a thing again this year :/<br /> #dreamsofolympicsizebackyardpool</p> <p>Eta- bottle, towels, swim caps (blue/green one very uncomfortable), and bag!<br /> Eta again- more tiger habitat, paddling "above the clouds", and a little friend that was swimming in a puddle in our driveway </p>
