Talk about inspiration!! I love these outfits! You look great!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-202324-capsule-review#post-2352024 Wed, 07 Feb 2024 17:56:27 +0000 Carol 2352024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First, I love the colors of the capsule because they seem like they would work with my coloring as well as yours--a variety of people.</p> <p>Second, it all looks put together and great!</p> <p>And third, I confess I'm not really into "artistic" clothing--probably because I grew up in a town that was rampant with that kind of clothes, sold in galleries.&nbsp; So stuff like the scarf in 10, or the shirt in 11. You really wear these items, as opposed to them wearing YOU.&nbsp; (I guess what I'm saying is, I like these items, on you.)&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-202324-capsule-review#post-2351992 Wed, 07 Feb 2024 13:25:56 +0000 Lana 2351992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah thank you! That is so true though, many times they don’t work in real life. I refuse to have an all neutral capsule. </p> <p>Zaeobi, my eyes are brown but have lightened some over the years. I’m not sure why that happens! </p> <p>Thank you Sal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-202324-capsule-review#post-2351768 Mon, 05 Feb 2024 08:03:07 +0000 Sal 2351768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific. Chic modern fun! Love the remixing too. A wonderful capsule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-202324-capsule-review#post-2351743 Mon, 05 Feb 2024 05:36:33 +0000 Zaeobi 2351743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with @SarahD8 - such great interplay between textures, contrast levels &amp; colours. </p> <p>What colour are your eyes, Lana? A little difficult to tell with the glasses, but I suspect the way they play against your hair contributes too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-202324-capsule-review#post-2351714 Mon, 05 Feb 2024 02:15:31 +0000 SarahD8 2351714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, this is super fantastic! I looooove the paper dolls, but also this is one of those rare cases when the actual outfits look even better than the paper doll layouts. I feel like so often capsule wardrobes look so soothing and impressive on paper but then the outfits kinda underwhelm...yet yours are even more impressive. You are really masterful at balancing dark and light, neutral and color. I am taking notes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-202324-capsule-review#post-2351566 Fri, 02 Feb 2024 21:31:39 +0000 Lana 2351566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Chris,&nbsp;</b>thank you, I hope you have fun with the digital paper dolls!<br /><b>Robin</b>, I wasn’t sure I would ever wear these faux leather ones, but they are fun for a change. &nbsp;<div>Thank you <b>Suntiger</b> and <b>Star</b>!<br /><b>KMM</b>, &nbsp;I agree the berry colors are so hard to source, so I snatched up this coat as soon as I saw it. &nbsp;</div><div>Thank you <b>Cardiffgirl!<br />Roberta, </b>thank you! <b>&nbsp;</b>I got those boots on Poshmark and they are super comfortable Kenneth Cole Reaction “Salt” Chelsea boot.

We have a very similar color palette, though I have trouble finding the red/violet/berry shade in retail that's so well represented in your wardrobe.&nbsp; I wish I had more of it myself.&nbsp; Absolutely gorgeous on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-202324-capsule-review#post-2351538 Fri, 02 Feb 2024 17:02:47 +0000 Anonymous 2351538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looove #11 and 13 especially and That Floral Bag!!<br /> You're inspiring me to work on my own capsules! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-202324-capsule-review#post-2351531 Fri, 02 Feb 2024 16:34:20 +0000 Star (Lise) 2351531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the drama of these outfits.&nbsp; Pinks and blues seriously love you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-202324-capsule-review#post-2351518 Fri, 02 Feb 2024 14:48:48 +0000 RobinF 2351518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the pinks and plums on you the most. I agree that the black works too, especially with other light pieces. I also have some new black faux leather jeans but haven't worn them yet because I can't decide what length to hem them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-202324-capsule-review#post-2351517 Fri, 02 Feb 2024 14:47:27 +0000 Chris987 2351517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, this is totally FAB! You mix and match YOUR colors and silhouettes so well! I think black is terrific on you, but agree with others that it's best when something light is added to the outfit. I also love the way your "paper dolls" method gives you a very clear wardrobe for a given season. It sounds like you used StyleBook and Ipad Pages to put that together ... off to research. If I get anywhere I'll report back. I have always adored paper dolls or anything vaguely reminiscent of them :-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-202324-capsule-review#post-2351510 Fri, 02 Feb 2024 13:53:40 +0000 Lana 2351510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Helena</b>, thank you! The key must be adding some light too. </p> <p><b>Jaime</b> and <b>Rachylou</b> thank you! I’m having a love affair with this red violet right now! #14 seems to work well with my hair. </p> <p>Thank you <b>indigoprint</b>, I know it’s not my best neutral, but sometimes it just feels good to wear it! I try to go for more charcoal than black if I can. </p> <p>Hi <b>Suz</b>, I should probably make #14 an outfit formula! I do the capsules on Pages on my iPad. The background removing function is outstanding, so it’s really pretty easy, especially when I have most of my clothes in Stylebook already. By the way, I saved some of your navy tulle skirt outfits as inspiration!</p> <p><b>Brooklyn</b>, I was thinking about you when I put this outfit together, I knew you would love it! It has that dark romance that you look so good in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-202324-capsule-review#post-2351495 Fri, 02 Feb 2024 11:17:10 +0000 Brooklyn 2351495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great to see you! Beautiful outfits! I love the gothic romance outfit in particular. And the duster cardigan is a great addition. I think you wear black very well. But I think colour tends to photograph better than black, so don’t get discouraged by comparing photos. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-202324-capsule-review#post-2351482 Fri, 02 Feb 2024 08:28:05 +0000 rachylou 2351482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favourites are the plums (especially 11) and the blues and then the pinks. My favourite black is 14; I like the way the scarf bridges to the shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-202324-capsule-review#post-2351472 Fri, 02 Feb 2024 02:22:16 +0000 Indigoprint 2351472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Who said you cannot wear black?<br /> So Fab. All your colors are spot on. I love the pink and burgundy along with the black...All Fab! Well done </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-202324-capsule-review#post-2351468 Fri, 02 Feb 2024 01:35:49 +0000 Suz 2351468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, amazing! Thank you for putting this together. I am in love with your combinations. The colours are gorgeous. New red/ violet coat is brilliant on you, and like Angie, I think you wear black well when it is mixed with light elements, especially that dramatic scarf in #14. Overall, that outfit gives an almost ombre effect, with your light/ bright hair and dark glasses followed by the dark top, dark/light scarf, the light pants, textured mid tone boots. It's fantastic on you!&nbsp;</p> <p>Your wardrobe is so cohesive and appealing. And the outfits are feminine, and at times casual, at times dramatic, at times arty.&nbsp;</p> <p>In love with your new backpack, by the way!&nbsp;</p> <p>And I want to know how you make those paper doll pictures. Not that I will probably invest the time to do it myself, LOL.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-202324-capsule-review#post-2351466 Fri, 02 Feb 2024 01:27:38 +0000 Jaime 2351466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Angie - #14 is one of my favorites, and the faux fur scarf is another great way to wear black. But the colorful outfits are great too. I love the pinks and reds especially.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-202324-capsule-review#post-2351463 Fri, 02 Feb 2024 01:19:57 +0000 Helena 2351463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you look terrific in all of these! So vibrant and pulled together. I think you wear black beautifully! Ok I have a bias as do love it, but with the contrast with your gorgeous hair, I think it looks really great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-202324-capsule-review#post-2351459 Fri, 02 Feb 2024 00:40:32 +0000 Lana 2351459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie those are my favorite boots! So comfortable and light. Thanks for your thoughts on the black. </p> <p>Dee thank you so much! I like both those words: glamorous and feminine. I wish I had more opportunities to dress up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-202324-capsule-review#post-2351458 Fri, 02 Feb 2024 00:13:57 +0000 Dee 2351458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your colour palette, so many pretty combos filled with luxe colours and fabrics, you look glamorous and feminine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-202324-capsule-review#post-2351454 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 23:55:58 +0000 Angie 2351454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great to see you, <b>Lana</b>! Looking KILLER fab, and better than ever :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Your silver inverted bobbed hair is GORGEOUS.</p> <p>To my eye, you wear black well when it's accented with light colours. I LOVE #14 and #17.&nbsp;</p> <p>#16<i><u></u> <u></u>with the scarf</i> i<u></u>s a sensational way for you to wear black too!&nbsp;</p> <p>#19 is another favourite - and we are boot twinsies! I wore those today, too.</p> <p>Please carry on!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-202324-capsule-review#post-2351451 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 23:40:22 +0000 Lana 2351451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a photo heavy review of my Winter 2024 Capsule.  This season I bought a new cool red coat, bordering on red violet — I have had so much fun with it. I also purchased a pair of faux leather jeans and a lilac pink duster cardigan. </p> <p><div><br /> </div><div> I experimented with black for the first time in years after being told I couldn’t wear it anymore. But I like dark moody colors so I thought I would give it a try again. Let me know what you think, if black is too dark for me or if I’ve made it work with the light additions.  <div><br /> </div><div>Photos 1 through 5 are my planned capsule pages which I enjoy putting together but I never follow it exactly. I keep doing capsules because I like to have a focused color palette for shopping and I’m looking for clues to why I wear some things and not others, what works and what doesn’t and generally I like doing the geeky analysis.  Plus it’s like playing with virtual paper dolls. I did 3 sub-capsules: casual for daily stuff, date casual, and athleisure although they do cross over into each other with some items. I made sure I had outerwear that worked well with most everything.</div><div><br /> </div><div>Photos 6 through 22 are some favorite outfits. </div><div>Photo 11 is my version of gothic romance with a Devore blouse, purple velvet coat and a velvet bag.  Velvet overload!  <br /> Photo 16 is what I wore at home on New Year’s Eve: wrap top, faux leather jeans, pewter boots and faux fur collar.  </div><div><br /> </div><div>Overall it’s worked very well and I plan on wearing these outfits through February. We’ve had such weird weather in North Carolina! Below 20 some days then 65 to 70.  I’m ready for Spring!  </div><div><br /> </div></div> </p>
