What capsules are you hoping to fill?<br /> I work a job that requires some days of smart casual and some days of pretty smart dress. I also have young kids and dogs so weekend on the go outfits need to be durable, comfortable and stylish. Then I have my extremely important, though not used often enough, date night and cocktail party capsule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-spring-must-haves-or-workhorses#post-868979 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 16:04:09 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 868979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Spring in Denver is usually quite a bit colder than I'd like. Mostly I put away the super heavy clothing - wools and heavy sweaters - and pull out just a few lighter weight, lighter colored items. I keep my seasonless items in rotation - button front shirts, pencil skirts, wrap dresses, jeans (including white and fun colors), blazers - and add in the lighter items for that springy feeling. This year I'm excited that I have footwear that is perfect for in between cold and warm weather - oxfords. Yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-spring-must-haves-or-workhorses#post-868968 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 15:52:28 +0000 MsMary 868968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am on the lookout for a fab white bag to upgrade the one I've had for the past two years, and a fab pair of white shoes. Maybe pumps, maybe heeled sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-spring-must-haves-or-workhorses#post-868958 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 15:33:21 +0000 Suz 868958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Our spring is so variable. It doesn't really begin until April. Or maybe May....at which time, summer might be two weeks - or six weeks - behind it! </p> <p>So I tend to wear: </p> <p>Jeans (regular denim and white denim)<br /> Cotton or lighter weight sweaters<br /> button downs<br /> Trench coat<br /> booties (vs. boots)<br /> lighter-weight trousers<br /> jackets (leather and a navy blazer)</p> <p>I need a pair of oxfords or other low heeled shoe. I would like a pair of the fun runners. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-spring-must-haves-or-workhorses#post-868953 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 15:22:48 +0000 cheryl 868953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I am pretty set for spring. For summer I need some new denim shorts, some metallic sandals and some tropical print capris or jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-spring-must-haves-or-workhorses#post-868888 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 14:02:30 +0000 Molly L-R 868888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Spring is not very warm or long lasting in the UK, so my pieces to transition from winter to summer are cardigans, blazers and short sleeved blouses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-spring-must-haves-or-workhorses#post-868675 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 06:11:39 +0000 Mo 868675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Spring is still not very hot, so I imagine I'll pull out my more summery tanks and put them under light jackets or cardis, with jeans (white is good this time of year) and sandals or ballet flats instead of boots. Essentially I lighten up the basic winter look with airier tops and foot wear, and a lighter color pallette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-spring-must-haves-or-workhorses#post-868670 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 06:03:23 +0000 jayne 868670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have white band navy bottoms as workhorses</p> <p>but I want to add a white lace topper with length, like a tunic, and lots of turquoise and perhaps lime green somehow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-spring-must-haves-or-workhorses#post-868637 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 04:53:40 +0000 Aziraphale 868637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have a lot on my list, but here are my must-haves (that I already own):</p> <p>- two blazers, one black, one gray<br /> - knee-length spring coat<br /> - short boots<br /> - maryjane heels<br /> - jeans<br /> - breezy tee shirts (to wear with the jeans)<br /> - light cotton button-front shirts (for jeans and skirts)<br /> - knee-length cotton skirts<br /> - fitted knit blouses (to wear with the skirts)<br /> - a couple of boyfriend cardigans</p> <p>I think that covers it. Happy organizing!</p> <p>ETA oh wait, and I only have one pair of sandals (wedges), but once the weather is warm enough, they get a lot of wear. I don't wear ballet flats but lots of gals swear by them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-spring-must-haves-or-workhorses#post-868568 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 03:16:39 +0000 TraceyLiz65 868568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My current wish list</p> <p>floral jacket<br /> polk a dot jeans<br /> White crochet tunic<br /> casual skirts (will probably thrift these)<br /> yellow purse<br /> vests </p> <p>workhorses for me are</p> <p>wedges &amp; ballet flats<br /> shrugs<br /> tank tops<br /> skirts &amp; dresses </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-spring-must-haves-or-workhorses#post-868556 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 02:53:30 +0000 pil 868556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jjsloane, any suggestions for white tees?

I can't wear sandals to work or any shoe that exposes my toes, but I want flats that get me pretty darn close. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-spring-must-haves-or-workhorses#post-868389 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 00:14:24 +0000 Jjsloane 868389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My workhorses are white jeans ( I have enough styles, lengths etc...), blazers (I'm searching for a floral and a blush this year to add to my collection of colorful pontes and new white replacement), and my tunic tops to wear with skinnies, straights and eventually clams and bermudas. The only thing I'm really hoping to add that is more elusive is a (some?) breezy floral dresses that can be casual alone or dressed up for work with a blazer. White tees are also a must under all the blazers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-spring-must-haves-or-workhorses#post-868356 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 23:40:39 +0000 Kalli 868356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A workhorse that I have to replace has been mentioned. White denim!!! Plus I wear a lot of black so the white lightens me up for summer. I also wear lots of silk blouses for regulation of temperature. Breton Tees (these never go out of style). Gladiator sandals. What else, a cute summer dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-spring-must-haves-or-workhorses#post-868351 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 23:35:21 +0000 shedev 868351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think lighter denim is a must have for me this year. Our spring doesnt really begin until April so I havent really been focusing on my spring wardrobe. I guess I better get it together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-spring-must-haves-or-workhorses#post-868341 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 23:23:56 +0000 Tina.b 868341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We don't have much of a spring here, so mine is a more late spring/early summer phase. I can't live without t-shirt type blouses, usually silk ones. Those are a staple for me. And a couple great coats, a trench and a utility. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-spring-must-haves-or-workhorses#post-868338 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 23:21:47 +0000 rachylou 868338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hehe, for spring I basically eliminate a workhorse - the thermal underlayer. But this year I'm gonna try working in matching floral top/pants. Thjs is gonna be a tricky maneuver because spring is such an iffy thing. I feel the sunshine has to have really set in before I start wearing these. But like right now, the cherry trees have bloomed but I'm sitting here waiting for the rain to start. We've returned to winter... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-spring-must-haves-or-workhorses#post-868330 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 23:15:31 +0000 hedgiehog 868330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know what you mean about cardigans, I have about twenty of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-spring-must-haves-or-workhorses#post-868328 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 23:14:38 +0000 hedgiehog 868328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm interested in trying coloured bottoms. I've purchased a navy polka dot skirt, a tomato coloured skirt and an aqua skirt. I t hink, for me, skirts are a little more forgiving and they will be cooler than trousers r jeans in Florida. Also, anything with stripes seems to catch my eye. Navy and white, black and white, I LOVE stripes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-spring-must-haves-or-workhorses#post-868321 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 23:00:46 +0000 Carla 868321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White jeans are first on my list... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-spring-must-haves-or-workhorses#post-868310 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 22:45:40 +0000 Thistle 868310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not really sure. This is my first spring/summer as a member of YLF, and YLF defiantely changed how I dressed in the winter. It will be itneresting to see where my style journey takes me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-spring-must-haves-or-workhorses#post-868307 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 22:43:59 +0000 4babiesMe 868307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need to start making a list. I'm basically starting from scratch, but think I'm pretty set with blazers, jackets, and cardigans. (I swear I would own a million of them if I could. LOL). </p>
