But there's something to learn from that, too. </p> <p>Diane, I realize that the colors are a bit off in the photos. The skirt is black and the sweater is charcoal. </p> <p>Thank you both for the kind words:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1016-unfancy-capsule-day-3---poncho-as-scarf#post-1377117 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 18:23:11 +0000 Anonymous 1377117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how versatile that lovely poncho is. It looks great twisted into a scarf and the simple column of navy is the perfect foil for it. I'm glad your checked coat is still going strong as it looks good... warm I'll bet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1016-unfancy-capsule-day-3---poncho-as-scarf#post-1377053 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 15:42:28 +0000 Elizabeth P 1377053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your rules, I think "keeping it real" is very important, esp if trying to evaluate what REALLY works for you, in your every day life.&nbsp; it's not about posting new and innovative outfits every day!</p> <p>And of course you look fab :).&nbsp; That poncho is wonderful.&nbsp; Sorry about the snow </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1016-unfancy-capsule-day-3---poncho-as-scarf#post-1377034 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 15:18:39 +0000 Ingunn 1377034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Shannon! I still&nbsp;like this coat, too, and&nbsp;after a hiatus a couple of seasons ago it came back into favor again.&nbsp;</p> <p>Neel, thank you! Santa's beard is not a style I'm into, hah ha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1016-unfancy-capsule-day-3---poncho-as-scarf#post-1376954 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 13:51:12 +0000 Neel 1376954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Giggling at the Santa's beard reference. Nope ... It doesn't look like that :). A very clever scarf indeed! You look lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1016-unfancy-capsule-day-3---poncho-as-scarf#post-1376951 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 13:47:53 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1376951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Positively BRILLIANT use of the poncho Ingunn - love that! And your plaid coat looks fab with the outfit. It may be older, but it's still great looking.</p> <p>Snow already? Yuck </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1016-unfancy-capsule-day-3---poncho-as-scarf#post-1376931 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 13:18:04 +0000 Ingunn 1376931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, thank you!&nbsp;&nbsp;I doubt I have anything to teach you, though. You are always creating great outfits. Enjoy your warm weather, winter will come soon enough.&nbsp;</p> <p>Windchime, thank you! Yes, I think the capsule is easy to work with so far, but it's only been a few days. Time will show how it works in the long run.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1016-unfancy-capsule-day-3---poncho-as-scarf#post-1376921 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 12:58:03 +0000 Windchime 1376921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice pic of snowy ground while the yellow leaves are still on the trees!</p> <p>Your capsule is clearly functioning well for you. Your dress looks warm and cozy and is a great color on you. How smart to make your poncho also function as a cashmere scarf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1016-unfancy-capsule-day-3---poncho-as-scarf#post-1376919 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 12:53:40 +0000 Anonymous 1376919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your poncho-as-scarf works very well. I especially like it with your plaid coat. Snow...brrrrr. My closet is seasonally confused right now. Today we are summer. It would be hard to do such a small capsule with crazy climate. I hope to learn from you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1016-unfancy-capsule-day-3---poncho-as-scarf#post-1376915 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 12:51:19 +0000 Ingunn 1376915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Deborah. I have made my rules for the project very easy to follow as you can see. No need to create an extra chore right now.&nbsp;</p> <p>Lyn, I know. It's sad with the sleet. I wouldn't wear the rain boots inside, though. Today I'm not being inside anywhere else but home, and here I'm wearing the birkies.&nbsp;</p> <p>Shevia, thank you. The poncho as scarf enables me to wear it a lot more when i need a topper outside - which will be all the time from now on.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1016-unfancy-capsule-day-3---poncho-as-scarf#post-1376912 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 12:47:11 +0000 Jaime 1376912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The poncho as scarf looks terrific. I like your rules too - no point in putting unneeded pressure on a project that is supposed to be fun as well as helpful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1016-unfancy-capsule-day-3---poncho-as-scarf#post-1376910 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 12:44:39 +0000 lyn67 1376910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Poor thing, I can't believe the snow either, still+22°C&nbsp; in the afternoons by us:-), but your poncho is a gorgeous piece! Keep them(the otfits)&nbsp;comming!:-) </p> <p>ETAsk: Then are you keeping your rainboots all&nbsp;day on your feet&nbsp;indoors, too?or carry some other shoes for change?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1016-unfancy-capsule-day-3---poncho-as-scarf#post-1376905 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 12:40:24 +0000 Deborah 1376905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great Ingunn! I love the poncho and you have cleverly styled it. I am watching this "project" with great interest. I often find things like this a bit intimidating so I am sure I am going to learn from watching you;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1016-unfancy-capsule-day-3---poncho-as-scarf#post-1376896 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 12:28:39 +0000 Ingunn 1376896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Suz! No, the poncho is from Eric Bompard. I envy you the warm weather. We've had that, too, but all of a sudden a cold front hit. It will warm up a bit again next week.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1016-unfancy-capsule-day-3---poncho-as-scarf#post-1376894 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 12:25:53 +0000 Suz 1376894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is fantastic, Ingunn. I <b>LOVE</b> what you are doing with that cashmere poncho. I clearly need to get me one of those! It came from the same place in Paris as your other goodies, correct?&nbsp;</p> <p>Love both indoor and outdoor versions. And can't believe you already have snow!! &nbsp;(Shiver).&nbsp;</p> <p>It is still uncharacteristically hot here. I was actually rooting around trying to find <b>SUMMER</b> clothing to wear yesterday, it was that crazy! But I am not complaining.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1016-unfancy-capsule-day-3---poncho-as-scarf#post-1376872 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 11:16:58 +0000 Ingunn 1376872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sharing&nbsp;my third outfit from my 37-pieces capsule. Here's how I intend to pull this little game&nbsp;off (from now on referred to as U/Capsule #):</p> <ol> <li>I'm going to take&nbsp;pictures every day, one way or another. Within two weeks i'm relocated and I might not know where my camera is by then except for the phone camera, which will do just fine.&nbsp;</li> <li>I'm only showing what I actually wear. No change of footwear and other accessories&nbsp;to improve the outfit as long as it isn't&nbsp;actually worn.&nbsp;</li> <li>I'm only doing this for as long as I like. No specific time frame.&nbsp;</li> <li>I don't intend to add to the capsule right now, <i>but I can if I feel like it</i>. No shopping ban!</li> </ol> <p>Easy, no? </p> <p>Today: The first snow came this morning. Wet, cold and windy weather made my initial choice of boots impossible, so rain boots it was. Today's tasks included an errand into town before continuing the sorting and packing at home. I'm off teaching for a bit and work from home, which make most sartorial needs quite casual. I'd still like to wear a skirt, so I pulled out the black pencil skirt and paired it with the new charcoal silk/cashmere sweater. To keep warm while at my desk I topped it with the new grey poncho. Birkies are great as house slippers.</p> <p>I twisted the poncho and pulled it over my head once more to make it into a scarf or shawl. What do you think? Does it work, or does it look like Santa's beard?</p> <p>My outerwear was the old plaid coat (probably 6-7 years old) and the mentioned rain boots. Cognac leather gloves and messenger bag plus a black/grey polkadot umbrella finished it off.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for looking! Any and all comments are highly welcome. </p>
