Love the top and jacket together - I can see why you chose cobalt as a dominant colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-a-day-of-endings-long#post-1241079 Sat, 03 May 2014 21:57:52 +0000 Lyn D. 1241079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, please give us updates!<br />I love your outfit, especially the cobalt jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-a-day-of-endings-long#post-1241071 Sat, 03 May 2014 21:45:55 +0000 kkards 1241071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well you have started this project with a bang.

Way to go! I should try this one day.</p> <p>I love the chevron stripes with the cobalt jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-a-day-of-endings-long#post-1241040 Sat, 03 May 2014 20:56:39 +0000 Anonymous 1241040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit looks great! The cobalt and the chevron stripes seem so vibrant together. And I admire your discipline. I couldn't even imagine limiting myself to 33 pieces (let alone 16)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-a-day-of-endings-long#post-1241037 Sat, 03 May 2014 20:53:50 +0000 catgirl 1241037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great outfit and a brilliant way to distract yourself from woes. Hope you are feeling better soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-a-day-of-endings-long#post-1240963 Sat, 03 May 2014 19:03:51 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1240963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great outfit and I love that in trying times you are controlling what you can control and challenging yourself in a big way... I myself would fail miserably at this , so admire you greatly for your attempt regardless of your success... Even if it doesn't work out, it's a different kind of success in clearly defining yourself! &nbsp; Wishing You well on your journey!!!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-a-day-of-endings-long#post-1240920 Sat, 03 May 2014 18:15:31 +0000 MsLuna 1240920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies!</p> <p>@L'abeille: I tend to be very drawn to standout pieces and statement "everything" which is why I often struggled getting a capsule wardrobe going. So this will be a challenge, for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-a-day-of-endings-long#post-1240895 Sat, 03 May 2014 17:34:29 +0000 L'Abeille 1240895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck with your challenge! Based on that first outfit I'm sure you'll do great. Each one of those pieces is striking enough on its own to "make" the outfit, yet not so striking that on remixes other people would even notice you were wearing the same thing.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-a-day-of-endings-long#post-1240871 Sat, 03 May 2014 16:14:48 +0000 fathenry 1240871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that top and looking forward to seeing the rest of your capsule! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-a-day-of-endings-long#post-1240856 Sat, 03 May 2014 15:40:38 +0000 MsLuna 1240856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! :)</p> <p>@Merwoman: oh, the weather... Tell me about it! Is Toronto EVER getting warmer? I always loved the way bootcuts/flares looked! I was actually a late adopter to the skinny jeans trend and was honestly only comfortable wearing them tucked inside my boots! When Angie mentioned that flares were making a comeback, I immediately jumped back on the trend (pretty rare - I tend to wait out and be a later adopter to see which styles become more "classic"). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-a-day-of-endings-long#post-1240851 Sat, 03 May 2014 15:32:30 +0000 merwoman 1240851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to hear that things have not been going well for those dear to you - this weather sure isn't helping!</p> <p>Katie, your first outfit is a winner! The fit is perfect, and I love the cobalt blue on you. Bootcut jeans seem made for you. Looking forward to see what makes the cut!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-a-day-of-endings-long#post-1240842 Sat, 03 May 2014 15:04:36 +0000 rachylou 1240842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous top. 16 items is amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-a-day-of-endings-long#post-1240707 Sat, 03 May 2014 05:59:13 +0000 kellygirl 1240707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a gorgeous graphic outfit.

Looking forward to reading about your progress and thoughts. Today's outfit looks fab, that graphic combo is gorgeous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-a-day-of-endings-long#post-1240645 Sat, 03 May 2014 04:08:11 +0000 MsLuna 1240645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@NDMom: thank you for your kind words! Yeah 17 pieces would be interesting. I never had a huge wardrobe to begin with (due to many many MANY mistake purchases) but forcing myself to be discerning and not giving in to my moodswings and Aries-style impulsiveness will be the challenge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-a-day-of-endings-long#post-1240643 Sat, 03 May 2014 04:05:19 +0000 MsLuna 1240643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Linda: I will be tracking my progress here as I'm still not ready to have a more "public" blog (well, YLF is public and on the internet but at least I can only share photos with members). </p> <p>As for Project333: it did say you can modify the rules to suit you but I'm with you though: I totally understand why you would find this restrictive. I still sort of do, but if I keep wondering "what if" about capsule wardrobes, then I'll never know </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-a-day-of-endings-long#post-1240641 Sat, 03 May 2014 04:04:53 +0000 NDMom 1240641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and I forgot to say that I am sorry that things are hard lately. &nbsp;Glad you were able to refocus....but feeling deeply, especially for others, is a good thing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-a-day-of-endings-long#post-1240638 Sat, 03 May 2014 04:02:41 +0000 NDMom 1240638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your first outfit and can't wait to see how you do with the challenge. &nbsp;How fun to buy 17 pieces! &nbsp;Looking forward to see in it all come together. &nbsp;Please do update us! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-a-day-of-endings-long#post-1240630 Sat, 03 May 2014 03:59:24 +0000 LindaSoCAl 1240630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will be interested to follow your progress. Project 333 seems very restrictive to me, but I admire people who can follow it for even three months. It does seem like a good way to discover what styles/colors/fabrics are really one's favorites. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-a-day-of-endings-long#post-1240622 Sat, 03 May 2014 03:52:09 +0000 MsLuna 1240622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Laura! </p> <p>I've tried capsule wardrobes but never really committed to it due to fear of boredom (lol). I keep coming back to it though, so I really just owe it to myself to try, at least once! </p> <p>Right now, I'm discovering that I have to stick to the silhouettes that I selected and ensure that every new item I'm purchasing to fill the 17 I'm missing should</p> <p>1) fit my aesthetic (I'm going modern casual as the dominant style for now)<br /> 2) fits me well<br /> 3) works with my current wardrobe<br /> 4) the best quality I can afford (doesn't stop me from looking for bargains) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-a-day-of-endings-long#post-1240615 Sat, 03 May 2014 03:45:45 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1240615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish you best of luck with your capsule challenge. Sounds like a lot of fun, and clarifying as far as how many items you need in your wardrobe. I have to admit that every time I've tried this sort of thing, I've failed utterly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-a-day-of-endings-long#post-1240602 Sat, 03 May 2014 03:34:03 +0000 MsLuna 1240602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was rather melancholy today due to the most recent turn of events. Oddly, none of them affected me directly. I guess you can just say, I feel for those people in my life in more depth than I thought I did. But yes, that sums up today. </p> <p>Thanks to YLF for lifting my spirits, though ;)</p> <p>So last night, I decided to sort of do an unofficial ("ghetto?") version of Project333 (<a href="http://theproject333.com" rel="nofollow">http://theproject333.com</a>). I decided not to follow their rules to the tee (i allow myself unlimited shoes and accessories) and limited the 33 items to everyday clothing and outerwear only. I've also done extensive research on capsule wardrobes for quite sometime but always thought that I'm too undisciplined or uncreative for the process.</p> <p>Time to prove me wrong.. Or right.</p> <p>I based much of my capsule-building concepts on Into-mind (<a href="http://into-mind.com" rel="nofollow">http://into-mind.com</a>) so I had to make decisions on silhouettes and colour schemes. I chose Cobalt as a dominant colour (I always chose purple in the past) and my usual black and white as my neutrals. I'll be adding red, yellow and magenta as accents. </p> <p>I pared down my wardrobe to 16 items and boxed up the rest for the next season and for donation. I'm due to purchase 17 more items gradually, and replace some of the 16 items I have when it will FINALLY warm up here in Toronto. I'm shopping around though forcing myself not to buy on impulse, and only buy items of higher quality and congruency to my (transitional) style.</p> <p>Here's my first outfit:</p> <p>Jacket: Ann Taylor<br /> Top: INC<br /> jeans: American Eagle Artist jeans<br /> Shoes: Yokono </p>
