Well done, Tanya. </p> <p>And your epiphany is brilliant. You need more<b> real </b>Summer clothes. </p> <p>Hah. Soon we will be Munro loafer&nbsp;twins. I have worn mine three days in a row - post potato process. Soooo comfy. Happy dance for happy feet.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-4-weekend-outfits-based-on-casual-summer-capsule-long-with-epiphanies#post-1285239 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 01:58:41 +0000 Jaime 1285239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great casual looks Tanya! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-4-weekend-outfits-based-on-casual-summer-capsule-long-with-epiphanies#post-1285214 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 01:11:32 +0000 Tanya 1285214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything you say makes sense Suz.&nbsp; Just to clarify, when I said "old" I meant it "old' as in "bought quite a while ago", not "old" as in "worn out and shabby looking".&nbsp; Like you mentioned, I have lots of things, especially jeans and outerwear, that are in excellent condition yet "old" by my definition. Conversely, some items, like my white sllpper flats mentioned , look very worn to me even though I have&nbsp; only bought them last spring.&nbsp; For me, they are not 'old", but "tired and worn looking". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-4-weekend-outfits-based-on-casual-summer-capsule-long-with-epiphanies#post-1285204 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 00:58:15 +0000 Suz 1285204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, I agree for tops and some bottoms. Especially if they have seen hard and steady use.&nbsp;</p> <p>Shoes for me are "old" after two years if I have worn them a lot. They are usually almost worn out at that point. I really walk a lot in all kinds of footwear and so this is not my imagination. They need replacement after two years unless they are dressy pumps that I wear only a few times per season.&nbsp;</p> <p>For coats, I don't think they are "old" until they are maybe five years on. Ditto for classic styles of jacket.&nbsp;</p> <p>Jeans are not "old" until they are about three years on, with steady use. And again, that use is steady with me since they are my daily wear.&nbsp;</p> <p>Meanwhile, trendy items bought as such are "old" after one season.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-4-weekend-outfits-based-on-casual-summer-capsule-long-with-epiphanies#post-1285194 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 00:36:20 +0000 Tanya 1285194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much ladies!&nbsp; I am glad to some things seem to be kicking into place in my head.</p> <p>For all that like it, the striped Mango tee is now on sale for 50 % off (I know, I am a horrible enabler).&nbsp; :D&nbsp; Hope you manage to find it Ornella.</p> <p>Peri, you are not old at all, but I do think of any item of clothing older than three years old. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-4-weekend-outfits-based-on-casual-summer-capsule-long-with-epiphanies#post-1285188 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 00:27:59 +0000 Karie 1285188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these outfits are fabulous, but #1 and #5 are my favs - the tops in both outfits are gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-4-weekend-outfits-based-on-casual-summer-capsule-long-with-epiphanies#post-1285103 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 21:11:59 +0000 Sveta 1285103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great epiphany and great outfits! I am especially taken with the last one: that striped Mango shirt drapes so beautifully on you and play very well with slim denim shorts. Amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-4-weekend-outfits-based-on-casual-summer-capsule-long-with-epiphanies#post-1285098 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 21:03:14 +0000 kkards 1285098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lets start with the footwear, which is just fab! love the sandals, and i can see why the sneakers would get compliments, they're great (and unfortunately they seem to be sold out!). i love the varying lengths of the shorts and pants, they all work really well. i like how you have gone casual, but retained a very structured feel.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-4-weekend-outfits-based-on-casual-summer-capsule-long-with-epiphanies#post-1285085 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 20:28:46 +0000 Cindy S 1285085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, really great Tanya, thanks so much for sharing the analysis. You look fab in every outfit.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm preparing to both move to a much hotter climate AND enter a dressier work situation...I've been trying to plan in capsules and this really helps me!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-4-weekend-outfits-based-on-casual-summer-capsule-long-with-epiphanies#post-1285083 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 20:26:41 +0000 Peri 1285083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those! I'm super envious of the Ted Baker T...I wanted and waited and missed out on that one. But I also love the "old" black silk cargos. Funny, I think of 5-6 years as pretty recent. I think <u>I </u>am old. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-4-weekend-outfits-based-on-casual-summer-capsule-long-with-epiphanies#post-1285078 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 20:21:28 +0000 Ornella 1285078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Tanya, all are stellar.</p> <p>And, I'm off to Mango tomorrow to chase that bold striped tee </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-4-weekend-outfits-based-on-casual-summer-capsule-long-with-epiphanies#post-1285072 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 20:12:04 +0000 Suz 1285072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooops! Cut myself off before I was done....</p> <p>We flounder around because we don't have a context for making smart decisions. If you spend 5 or 6 hours a day/evening in casual clothes, you definitely need a substantial casual capsule!&nbsp;</p> <p>I love your choices here, and love even more that you've created this by shopping your closet for many pieces. The Ted Baker top is especially swoon worthy.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love those lace slip ons. A surprising workhorse.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-4-weekend-outfits-based-on-casual-summer-capsule-long-with-epiphanies#post-1285071 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 20:10:20 +0000 Suz 1285071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, you look absolutely stunning in these outfits -- every one is k-worthy!!&nbsp;</p> <p>And what a smart woman you are to have figured all this out. I am convinced that it is really this hard look at the actual realities of how we spend our lives that is the foundation of great personal style. Until we accept the realities -- whether those be body type issues, climate related, work related, or otherwise, we flounder around.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x-4-weekend-outfits-based-on-casual-summer-capsule-long-with-epiphanies#post-1285065 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 20:02:37 +0000 Tanya 1285065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are the outfits I wore this weekend:<br />#1 - casual dinner out Fri evening<br />#2 - running errands on Saturday<br />#3 - casual dinner out Sat evening<br />#4 - running errands today (Sunday).<br />If they look familiar, that is because they are close renditions of outfits featured in Angie's casual summer capsule (#5), with two of the exact same tops that I bought after reading the article.</p> <p>I have had a bit of epiphany about my summer dressing last month, when I was on vacation at home and had a lot of time to think.&nbsp; I have realized that, since my lifestyle is pretty casual even though I prefer dressing in a dressier manner, it would make lot of sense to stop fighting it and instead, embrace that and try to come up with interesting casual outfits that are still me.&nbsp; Also, while we have four season weather, summer here is pretty dominant and I need to focus more on summer dressing.&nbsp; My work dress code requires closed toed shoes and long pants, so for a couple of years here I was thinking&nbsp; that I can get away with minimum when it comes to shorts and sandals, neglecting the fact that almost every summer evening I come home I change into something else that is more summery and am in general out and about a lot during warm weather.&nbsp; Of course, the current trends with focus on comfort, sporty luxe etc. might have contributed to this shift.</p> <p>These outfits here are part of one of my mega summer casual capsules ( I am working on completing two in different color schemes).&nbsp; They are based on this&nbsp; casual summer capsule and a bunch of other subsequent Angie's posts.<br />I call them "mega" because they are double the size, they feature eight bottoms and everything else appropriately sized up. Additional bottoms are casual long pants that I can wear at work, such as silky track pants, linen pants, chinos etc.&nbsp; I am hoping to post one of them in full next weekend but it takes lots of work.&nbsp; </p> <p>For fun, all the bottoms here are old and super old: black silk cargo clams are 5-6 years old, white shorts the same but they recently met some scissors, Paige denim shorts are 3-4 years old, and coral shorts are 2 years old and used to be clamdiggers before they also met scissors.&nbsp; :D&nbsp; <br />I have bought these lace slip-on sneakers at the beginning of April and they have been life-savers.&nbsp; I have already worn them tons, especially on my European trip.&nbsp; They are super comfy, thanks to hidden 0.5" inside wedge.&nbsp; And for some reason I keep getting compliments on them everywhere I go.&nbsp; <br />The white slipper flats are from last year and have been worn tons as they are super comfy as well.&nbsp; When I wore them last night I realized that they are looking pretty tired and ordered the white Munro loafers as a replacement this morning. Both pairs of sandals are new additions for this season and they are both ridiculously comfy, thanks to very cushion-y soles.</p> <p>Thank you very much if you read this far! </p>
