I love it when you go all avant garde, Caro.<br /><br />I like #5 too and your core of navy, aqua and white.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ktmy-18-pieces---summer-clothing#post-908221 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 12:44:33 +0000 Janet 908221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, what a great collection. I love your style, Caro, and I love your color palette. </p> <p>I am surprising myself by loving #6 on you even though I would not necessarily think I'd like an elasticized hem like that! It's terrific on you. I also like the waterfall cardigan, even though I'm really over that shape, because it's not too long and the sheer stripes take it up a few notches in stylishness. </p> <p>I totally agree that 10 and 11 are not fab enough for you, but everything else is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ktmy-18-pieces---summer-clothing#post-908143 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 09:13:53 +0000 Niefern 908143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love, love&nbsp;#6 and #8! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ktmy-18-pieces---summer-clothing#post-908133 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 07:41:06 +0000 Caro in Oz 908133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Lantana - I thought about cutting off the dress but I think it is too big in the shoulders &amp; should just go:) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ktmy-18-pieces---summer-clothing#post-908132 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 07:38:29 +0000 Lantana 908132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the artiness in your style Caro. The pants all look - and sound, in terms of fabrication - ideal summer staples. I love the Rorshach (sp?) dress, so stylish and colourful without being bombastic. #6 I think is too adorable to ever part with. Do you wear it with chunkjewellery? I just love it on you. I am not crazy mad on thestriped dress BUT I love the two striped items together. I hear you on the lightweight waterfall cardi. It is so useful that being slightly dated is not an issue. (Have to confess, I only found out "waterfall" is dated 5 minutes ago. ) The oversize white shirt is fun and flexible, and so handy to have that coverage in a lightweight fabric when the weather is so variable.<br /> I hear you're ready to let #10 &amp; #11 go. Those looks don't shine on you like the others do. You could chop the shirtdress to a shorter length and wear it as a topper/shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ktmy-18-pieces---summer-clothing#post-908130 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 06:57:05 +0000 Caro in Oz 908130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks everyone, your opinions are very helpful.<br />Looks like we are on the same page - except for the waterfall jacket/cardigan.&nbsp;<br />I think I will keep it as it is light &amp; very useful - a coverup I can wear in the heat &amp;&nbsp;in aircon is hard to find. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ktmy-18-pieces---summer-clothing#post-908123 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 06:11:19 +0000 Deborah 908123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Caro, it's nice to know I'm not the only one working on my summer wardrobe after the fact:)</p> <p>I think your tops are all lovely. The blue with the assymetrical hem is bordering on a lightly dated look. Would you consider tying a knot in the long bit for a lightly different look? Just a thought, but really I do like it.</p> <p>The pants are all fab, particularly the floral ones *love*, and the navy have a great line.</p> <p>I think the dresses are look very good on you. Modern, arty, interesting and eclectic. </p> <p>Your summer coat is devine! </p> <p>I think 10 and 11 could go as I just don't feel either of them are the most flattering for you, and I don't think they fully reflect your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ktmy-18-pieces---summer-clothing#post-908116 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 05:11:01 +0000 AJ 908116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My favorite is 6.&nbsp; The color of the blouse in 10 does not look like it flatters your skin tone.<br /><br />Looks like you have a great summer capsule! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ktmy-18-pieces---summer-clothing#post-908039 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 02:06:31 +0000 Suz 908039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I can't believe I neglected to mention you in Hedgie's thread, Caro - I was actually thinking about you as I wrote, meaning to call you out as one of cour champion summer dressers -- even though I know you find it difficult. Though when I see your outfits I can scarcely believe that. You have an enviable capsule here.&nbsp;<br /><br />Nodding along with Shevia on the tops and with both her and Spiffy on the dress in #6! So amazing on you! Also, may I say in general that you have a very consistent look going on for you here. Eclectic and arty, for sure. I know you are working on this idea of style being the refinement of point of view...but on the evidence of this capsule you are pretty much already there.&nbsp;<br /><br />I actually agree with all Shevia's other points as well. I can understand the usefulness of that waterfall cardigan but I am not loving it somehow.&nbsp;<br /><br />I'm unsure about the dress in 5. Is it comfortble to you? The cut is, of course, quite different from the other things. But I like the rather textural effect and the colours on you. I would say if it serves a good purpose for you and you feel good in it, keep.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ktmy-18-pieces---summer-clothing#post-908033 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 02:01:01 +0000 Day Vies 908033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OK I've got a lot to say so I'll try to be brief and to the point so that I am not rambling. <br />I love the color palette for the entire collection. I also love that your style is consistent across all the pieces and that they have something unexpected about them all. <br />My favorite piece is the gauzy jacket in #4 and #7 -- I love how it adds another layer of pattern and it has great shape. <br />#6 is absolutely darling -- I love the shape and clean lines -- I also love how fresh it looks in white.&nbsp; #8 is so compelling I can see that with some fabulous jewelry. Do you think it would work with an obi type belt?<br />#10 is too cute I love the subtle pattern and the shape. <br />I don't see anything that screams return I love the dress in #7 paired with the jacket -- the combination of the stripes are compelling. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ktmy-18-pieces---summer-clothing#post-908027 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:53:33 +0000 Jaime 908027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I also say definitely keep the white dress #6! I like the aqua tops in the first one and also the black one. The blue one I am less sure about because of the extreme asymmetry, although I like asymmetrical looks and might just need a better picture. I would cull 10 - don't like the color on you and 11 is not good enough for you either (inmo). I really like you in white but am not sure about the white waterfall cardigan in #4 - I think I am just over that shape. How's that for a start? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ktmy-18-pieces---summer-clothing#post-907990 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:10:04 +0000 Spiffy 907990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I LOVE #6! the shape, the popped collar, divine!&nbsp;I can't wait to see it with some bright accessories this summer.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ktmy-18-pieces---summer-clothing#post-907987 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:04:26 +0000 Caro in Oz 907987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ We are getting some beautiful autumn weather at last. This is a roundup of what's left of my summer clothing.&nbsp;<br /><br />Your opinions on whether to keep or not would be appreciated.<br /><br />#1&nbsp;<br />These are the main summer tops I wear on hot days - have other tops &amp; pants but they can be worn in spring &amp; autumn too. All these tops go with all the bottoms.&nbsp;I also have a white linen shirt that is not pictured -&nbsp;I wore it&nbsp;for the PP challenge.<br /><br />#2 to 4&nbsp;<br />x3 pairs of pants - navy/turquoise floral, white cotton jeans &amp; navy linen &amp; viscose.<br /><br />#5 to #7<br />My dresses not sure about whether to keep any of these.<br /><br />#8 &amp; 9&nbsp;My summer coat - it is a light cotton with stretch - is as cool as linen but doesn't crease - great for really hot evenings.<br /><br />#10 &amp; 11 In oversized top that is really light &amp; cool (cotton) &amp; a linen shirt-dress (which I can belt)&nbsp;these are probably being culled.<br /><br />
