It looks like you put together a lot of fab outfits from it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-week-away#post-1444142 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 22:22:32 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1444142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>Krissy</b>!<br /><b>Shevia</b> and <b>Windchime</b>, thanks for pointing out the variety I managed in the outfits. I hadn't thought much about it. I brought the skirt to look a little dressier, with pieces that were super easy to pack.<br /><b>Kelly</b> and <b>Diane</b>, thank you! <br /><b>Ruth</b>, I agree with "sophisticated peasant"--I think of it that way, too. And the blurry starry print is one of my favorite prints. I actually have another tee from the same fabric in slightly different colors! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-week-away#post-1444088 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 19:59:53 +0000 Anonymous 1444088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You had a very fab capsule Sharan! All are fab outfits, with your lovely rich colour palettes. My favourites are 2,4 and 5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-week-away#post-1444080 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 19:31:16 +0000 Ruth M 1444080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a stylish travel capsule! My favourites are the same as yours - #2 and #3. Love your starry print tee and your sophisticated peasant (is that an oxymoron?) blouse. (Sophisticated because of the silk fabric and the darkish colours of the print and its placement.)&nbsp; #4 is gorgeous too - love the curve of plaid showing at the neckline of your high-low pullover. Lovely outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-week-away#post-1443979 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 15:35:07 +0000 kellygirl 1443979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer travel week! I love every single one of these. The cutaway jacket is awesome in 1 and I die over the plaid bias tee. You look so YOU in all of these--arty, polished and modern. So pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-week-away#post-1443909 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 12:53:04 +0000 Windchime 1443909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great travel capsule! You had the pieces to create a wide variety of looks, and they are all flattering and on trend. I, too, especially like seeing #4 on you. It's a different silhouette than you typically wear, and looks great on you. Interesting that you could have done another week of outfit creation from this capsule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-week-away#post-1443893 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 11:07:33 +0000 Krissy 1443893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these looks! You look class, modern, and most importantly comfortable. Number 2 and 4 are my favourites. I hope you had an enjoyable&nbsp;week away! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-week-away#post-1443829 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 04:03:49 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1443829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, Peri, that is one of my favorite pieces that I've made. Thank you!</p> <p>Thanks, Jjsloane! Glad you like the skirt outfit, and I could see you in that plaid t-shirt, actually. </p> <p>Elizabeth, I don't know about the skirt sizing. I would guess it's the same, but I don't have the regular tube skirt for comparison. It's the ruching that made this style wearable for me. </p> <p>Joy, another fan of the skirt--thank you! The booties are super comfy. I've been wearing them with my Superfeet inserts lately, for heel and arch support. I have the Munro Grace, too, from two or three years ago, and I haven't worn them since I got the Lexie style this year. But I also got another heeled bootie by Paul Green to replace the Grace. Sometimes I want a little bit of heel. You might wait now and see if there is a Munro boot offered during Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, unless you see what you want now, during end-of-season sales. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-week-away#post-1443809 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 03:31:01 +0000 Jaime 1443809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice mix! I like how the colors and themes repeats but every outfit is distinct. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-week-away#post-1443807 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 03:27:24 +0000 Anonymous 1443807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfits never fail to amaze me. Everything balances cozy comfort and smart casual dressiness so well. My favorite is #4.<br /> I love the look of those flat black Munro booties. I have a pair of black Munro booties that are so comfortable and wonder if it is too early to spring for another pair (like yours). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-week-away#post-1443798 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 03:14:30 +0000 Elizabeth P 1443798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great travel capsule, firecracker. Love your boiled wool bomber, a fantastic way to add style to a casual comfy outfit. I have to go with 4 as my fav though, I really like the shape of the hi low sweater on you, and the plaid peaking at the neck is a fun touch. </p> <p>Question... Do you (or anyone) know if the ruched VC skirts fit the same as the regular tube skirts? Id love to give one a try but have hesitated with sizing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-week-away#post-1443759 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 01:25:48 +0000 Jjsloane 1443759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in love with the plaid peeking out in 4. The belt is showcased beautifully in 1. A nice little bit of boho chic.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-week-away#post-1443753 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 01:18:12 +0000 Peri 1443753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please add the top in #3 to my list!

I also like #2 the best, and it felt very much like me. And 3 was a close second. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-week-away#post-1443718 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 23:50:51 +0000 mosiejohnson 1443718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A very inspiring capsule - great ideas and fun pics!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-week-away#post-1443706 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 23:14:10 +0000 E 1443706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a cool capsule!

I hope you enjoyed the trip. I was really wow-ed by these pictures!</p> <p>1 - the belt stands out more than I might like but it definitely works. love the jacket and would also want to see this over top an all black column. I think it might really make it pop. just an idea. I guess i just really love the jacket.<br />2 - fabulous (might be my favorite). belt seems so perfect!<br />3 - another favorite (can I have more than one favorite? these are all great.)<br />4 - love the plaid around the neck. can't see the shoes but would also want to see a great pump with the tights.<br />5 - another great look. I might choose a different belt. this has a lot of organic curves up against the plaid -- I might go for something more tailored or neutral.</p> <p>Lots of love from me on these! Hope you felt fab.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-a-week-away#post-1443675 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 21:50:37 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1443675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are outfits I wore for a week visiting family in the cold Midwest.
