I didn't remember seeing the floral dress before, it's great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-capsule-in-action/page/2#post-2191720 Sun, 02 May 2021 02:21:43 +0000 Jenn 2191720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>AliceWonders,&nbsp;</b>thank you! This is more or less ALL the color in my wardrobe, give or take a couple of pieces.</p> <p><b>Sally&nbsp;</b>and <b>kkards,&nbsp;</b>it's interesting that you both mentioned #12, because while it's kind of a throwaway all-black outfit, I was also thinking it's really the&nbsp;<i>most LA&nbsp;</i>outfit of the bunch. At least here in the valley, this is how the people I pass on the street tend to dress.</p> <p><b>Eliza,&nbsp;</b>I really appreciate your comment because looking "effortless" is totally my secret goal.</p> <p><b>fin42&nbsp;</b>and&nbsp;<b>Brooklyn,&nbsp;</b>#2 is popular! It's definitely most polished of the lot.</p> <p><b>ChristeIJ,&nbsp;</b>I really enjoy the whole curation process more than I do putting outfits together, so I'm SO happy to be getting closer to a fully cohesive wardrobe. It's taken a while, though!</p> <p><b>Helena,&nbsp;</b>I don't even know what to say. That's just the nicest comment ever and very much what I WANT to project.</p> <p><b>shevia,&nbsp;</b>it really took a long time to get here!</p> <p><b>smittie,&nbsp;</b>I should've said in your thread that Kim Possible is a total compliment coming from me. I love her! (Hubs works on apps across multiple properties...some are WAY more exciting than others.) And yes, I am liking California more, though the dynamic will be different with lockdowns ending....we've lost a year+ of opportunities to meet people/make friends, which is hard. Thank you for asking about that!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-capsule-in-action/page/2#post-2191718 Sun, 02 May 2021 01:59:50 +0000 smittie 2191718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving the rust colour. I copied you and got a cinnamon coloured top from BR. Great colour. Looks great with black.</p> <p>I think you’re knocking it out of the park with your boho looks. So California, omg! I hope you are liking it more now (I know you had some misgivings about the move.)</p> <p>Does your husband work on cartoons?<br /> I am a little disappointed there are no Kim Possible outfits (jokes) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-capsule-in-action/page/2#post-2191717 Sun, 02 May 2021 01:56:03 +0000 Jenn 2191717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>runcarla,</b> <b><i></i></b>thank you! I don't mind being at JFE most days, since black has so many other advantages for me. (It also just doesn't photograph as well as the colors.)</p> <p><b>Sal,&nbsp;</b>I did put those pants away last season, and am enjoying them a bit more this spring, but I wouldn't be all that sad if they mysteriously disappeared.</p> <p>Thanks&nbsp;<b>Joy. </b>#2 is Eileen Fisher top and bottom.</p> <p><b>rachylou,&nbsp;</b>this is what comes from trying really hard not to duplicate!<br /><b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-capsule-in-action/page/2#post-2191710 Sun, 02 May 2021 01:43:55 +0000 Jaime 2191710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well you are just the best spokesperson (photoperson?) for the advantage of a thoughtfully chosen small wardrobe with a tight color scheme. Every single outfit is outstanding. Kudos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-capsule-in-action#post-2191549 Sat, 01 May 2021 14:11:23 +0000 kkards 2191549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you wear that rust color so well. This is an incredible collection and i love how everything works with and together.<br />my fav is #6, love the pattern, love the drapey feel of the blouse, and love the way it works with the denim. But there is something about #12 that i also love, its got the cool girl vibe without looking like you were playing at it, if that makes sense. It’s cool girl authentic, which seems so rare these days.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-capsule-in-action#post-2191536 Sat, 01 May 2021 13:53:27 +0000 Helena 2191536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nodding to Lisa's comment ... you are just amazing. You somehow are cool, on trend but not trendy looking, polished, edgy, perfectly styled but without looking 'perfect' or overdone ... hope any of this makes sense because it's seriously impressive! You convey this organic, authentic sense of style that somehow is also totally '2021'. It's quite magical actually! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-capsule-in-action#post-2191533 Sat, 01 May 2021 13:35:00 +0000 ChristelJ 2191533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get such vicarious satisfaction from seeing your posts where every single piece is absolute perfection on you, and all pieces are harmonious with your gorgeous style. I am hopelessly haphazard and impulsive, but nevertheless your outfits inspire me and are a joy to look at. Oh, and I especially adore the new jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-capsule-in-action#post-2191503 Sat, 01 May 2021 10:51:16 +0000 Brooklyn 2191503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful.

So beautiful! The second outfit with the earth tone crops echoing your gorgeous hair and the perfect top is especially compelling. Like the bookended red top and flats... Ahhh- such polished looks that appear effortless. Enjoy your carefully selected pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-capsule-in-action#post-2191469 Sat, 01 May 2021 03:53:00 +0000 Sally 2191469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them all.&nbsp; You have a great style and I love how you use the pieces.&nbsp; I don't have any favourites but love the jean outfits in 4, 6 and 11.&nbsp; I also like the sporty look in 12 too which would be great for a trip to the park.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-capsule-in-action#post-2191466 Sat, 01 May 2021 03:44:55 +0000 AliceWonders 2191466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great capsule! I love the way you’ve used colour, and I love the dresses and wide leg pants in particular! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-capsule-in-action#post-2191452 Sat, 01 May 2021 02:33:07 +0000 rachylou 2191452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a lot of variety and interest.

Everything looks wonderful on you and for LA. My favorite is #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-capsule-in-action#post-2191442 Sat, 01 May 2021 01:23:42 +0000 Sal 2191442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful Jenn- great capsule that shows off your natural style. These all look comfortable, a bit edgy and interesting. The new additions really work.</p> <p>I never quite know what to do with the item that still works but you are sick of. The terracotta pants look good though. Maybe put them away for three months and see how you feel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-capsule-in-action#post-2191434 Sat, 01 May 2021 00:13:08 +0000 Carla 2191434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I understand that black is your comfort zone, but the cinnamon/blue combinations are just-so-flattering! &nbsp;The rust picks up the warm tones in your (gorgeous) hair and the mid-tone blue is fresh and ‘works’ with the quality of your California springtime light. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-capsule-in-action#post-2191399 Fri, 30 Apr 2021 20:46:45 +0000 Jenn 2191399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Bonnie,&nbsp;</b>if you think about it, though, 66 items is a lot to mix and match with...although I did set a portion of them aside when I made the seasonal capsule.</p> <p><b></b>Thank you<b>, Minaminu,&nbsp;</b>I guess it's a not a <i>true</i> capsule, as I decided to leave ALL my essentials in play and then pick a subset of my statement items to define the season. Even that has helped me to focus, though, and find new ways to enjoy the featured pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-capsule-in-action#post-2191397 Fri, 30 Apr 2021 20:33:54 +0000 Minaminu 2191397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely capsule wardrobe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-capsule-in-action#post-2191395 Fri, 30 Apr 2021 20:23:23 +0000 Bonnie 2191395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice. I'm surprised at the variety of outfits you have made with a such small wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-capsule-in-action#post-2191391 Fri, 30 Apr 2021 20:05:09 +0000 Jenn 2191391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much, everyone! It's been easier than I'd anticipated, really, to adapt to this new climate. Being forced to acknowledge the reality of it has me dressing better for the weather than I ever was willing to on equally warm days in Colorado.</p> <p><b>Suz,&nbsp;</b>I'm starting to feel quite comfortable with my mix of choosing pieces from small makers and conscious B-corps, wearing what I have joyfully and often, and adding statement pieces mindfully and minimally when I find the right ones. &nbsp;I'm certainly still making mistakes, but they're fewer and further between.</p> <p><b>Angie,&nbsp;</b>my favorites are #2, #3, #7, and #10. &nbsp;I can't help it...a black dress is my fallback comfort zone. &nbsp;I'm a little tired of the Eileen Fisher widelegs after almost a hundred wears, but every time I see them in photos, I come back around to them. And I just adore my new duster. I also wore it over #1 and #8 for the chilly mornings.</p> <p><b>JAileen,&nbsp;</b>it was 93° the day I wore #10 (yesterday). It felt lovely to put on a breezy dress and eat a popsicle outside.</p> <p><b>lisap</b>,&nbsp;<b></b>what a kind comment! And thanks for encouraging me to keep the jeans. They're already pulling their weight.</p> <p><b>chewyspaghetti,&nbsp;</b>that would be so much fun!</p> <p><b></b><b></b><b></b><b>bj1111,&nbsp;</b>thanks! I have found that small, sustainable designers are generally really good at dresses!</p> <p><b>kellygirl,&nbsp;</b>the dress in #3 and the one in #5 are actually the same dress. &nbsp;It's a substantial black linen.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>slim cat,&nbsp;</b>that's funny! I don't really see myself as much of a statement jewelry wearer, but I guess both the mala in #5 and the tassel necklace in #10 do have that vibe.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Irina,&nbsp;</b>it helps to have only a small temperature range to contend with here!</p> <p><b>Synne,&nbsp;</b>I don't know about master class, but thank you! I'm blushing.</p> <p><b>UmmLila,&nbsp;</b>I'm happy to have finally figured out a corner of my house that works for photos.</p> <p><b>Star,&nbsp;</b>thank you so much!</p> <p><b>Jonesy,&nbsp;</b>I worried at first that the backpack felt a little small for my body size, but I was won over by how lightweight it is. &nbsp;It's perfect for a water bottle, phone and charger, wallet, sunscreen, keys. I could probably squeeze a book or scarf in as well. A day's necessities!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-capsule-in-action#post-2191384 Fri, 30 Apr 2021 19:13:48 +0000 Jonesy 2191384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, a feast for the eyes :)! You have truly perfected your small wardrobe. It's cohesive yet varied, and suits you so well. Angie's faves are mine as well--the prints are TDF and the fit of those wide-leg cropped pants in #2 is perfection. That black and white dress really leaps out at me, even though the earthy tones look beautiful on you too. </p> <p>ETA: Love the new backpack! So interesting and it looks like a perfect size.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-capsule-in-action#post-2191339 Fri, 30 Apr 2021 17:16:33 +0000 Star (Lise) 2191339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a fabulous capsule.&nbsp; I love every outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-capsule-in-action#post-2191336 Fri, 30 Apr 2021 17:10:02 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2191336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now this is a capsule!
