What a great set of outfits. I think you have provided really creative and attractive solutions to varying your look.<br />&nbsp;I love how you have changed the level of formality of your jeans-based outfits by rolling up the hems. I would not have guessed that #2 and #4 were the same jeans! I also love the way you have used shoes and accessories to change the mood of the outfit. Every single one of them looks very cohesive, stylish and appropriate.<br />Great job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-sharon-challenges-dee/page/2#post-1203151 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 23:53:54 +0000 LoriFLA 1203151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These a really cute&nbsp;pulled together looks! &nbsp;Great capsule and great job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-sharon-challenges-dee/page/2#post-1203149 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 23:51:42 +0000 deb 1203149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first thought was how cohesive one picture looked to the other. I really like that. I love the dress on you. The color is great. Nice job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-sharon-challenges-dee#post-1203140 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 23:40:15 +0000 Dee 1203140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! &nbsp;</p> <p>Aubergine - &nbsp;I had actually tried the blazer with the dress too, just didn't post the picture. I hadn't thought of wearing them together before this. I liked the idea that I could mix and match most of there (that's my usual goal with capsules) but didn't want to spam you with all the iterations.</p> <p>Adorkable - thank you! I like your WIWs for the same reason. I think we're both aiming for that often-elusive combination of&nbsp;comfortable and professional.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks Suz! I posted this cardi mostly to keep it within the toppers for the challenge, but I agree!&nbsp;A cropped neutral cardigan or jacket&nbsp;is currently on my spring shopping&nbsp;list.</p> <p>Joy - Thank you and good luck with your cobalt jacket. I'll keep an eye out for your posts! I've found mine to be a workhorse, so I hope it works as well for you.</p> <p>Sarah - Thanks so much!</p> <p>April - Thanks for the suggestions! And I'm off now to try and come up with a challenge for Suz, who will definitely knock it out of the park. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-sharon-challenges-dee#post-1203080 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 22:14:58 +0000 April 1203080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Applause, applause! There it is, a bona fide capsule! </p> <p>Note to self: get some turquoise loafers. Like, immediately. </p> <p>Dee , you did a great job! My vote on the dress/cardigan combo would be to find a cheekier cardi - more cropped and fitted. It makes all the difference in the world with dresses. But the cardi is smashing with the longer tee peeking out in #4.</p> <p>So here comes the last part of your link in the chain, challenging the next player. You are going to have such fun, because<b> your random number is #5, which is our Suz!</b>&nbsp;</p> <p>I'll PM Suz and let her know, and whenever you're ready, go ahead and open a new thread. </p> <p>And then you can put on your baseball glove and watch overhead as Suz knocks it out of the park. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-sharon-challenges-dee#post-1203068 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 21:59:52 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1203068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how you faced this challenge... With wonderful results. You look beautiful!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-sharon-challenges-dee#post-1203065 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 21:51:26 +0000 Anonymous 1203065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dee, this is very impressive. I recently found a cobalt jacket and want to try a version of your capsule. With these pieces in your suitcase, plus a trench coat, you would be ready for most situations on a trip. Well done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-sharon-challenges-dee#post-1203052 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 21:33:52 +0000 Suz 1203052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful, Dee. I love the simplicity and clarity of these outfits, and what a cohesive capsule. You look wonderful in the blues and whites/ creams. My faves are 2, 3, and 5. Brava!!&nbsp;</p> <p>My only suggestions might be to trade out the cardigan in 6 for a more updated version (or a jacket....but then, I am a jacket girl all the way, so take with a grain of salt) and if you are wanting a change,&nbsp;maybe try some different styles of flats -- go for updated versions of loafers, a pointed toe, etc. -- just to inject more currency into these terrific (and <b>not </b>boring) classic looks.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-sharon-challenges-dee#post-1203049 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 21:32:44 +0000 Helena 1203049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a terrific job and so inspiring how far some well-thought-out pieces and outfits can take you. Amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-sharon-challenges-dee#post-1203044 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 21:25:39 +0000 Tina 1203044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I'm very impressed with your selections and the end result. To my eye you have accomplished the goal of going from work, to casual to semi formal, in an excellent way.<br /> When flats are what your feet are happy in, then flats is what you need to wear- no shame in that. You have a nice selection to complement your wardrobe.<br /> I'm another one of those people with a limited color pallet and clothing style wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-sharon-challenges-dee#post-1202999 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 19:33:58 +0000 adorkable 1202999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a big fan of these! Dee, you are one of the people who has the most similar lifestyle and dress code to me, so I love seeing what you come up with. (K falls into this category too, plus we all have sort of similar hair and glasses.)</p> <p>I love the blazer, and I agree with Aubergine - I bet it looks great with the dress!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-sharon-challenges-dee#post-1202994 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 19:27:34 +0000 Anonymous 1202994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dee, you did a wonderful job here! You really got a lot of variety in overall look&nbsp;and dressiness&nbsp;out of only a few pieces. And you have a lovely shoe collection!</p> <p>I especially love the cobalt blazer -- I almost want to see it with the wrap dress and with the t-shirt in #4 too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-sharon-challenges-dee#post-1202986 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 19:12:35 +0000 Dee 1202986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carter - I can't wear heels due to foot issues, which does feel somewhat limiting compared to a lot of the posters here, but I do at least try to mix it up a bit so I'm not just weaing black flats all the time.</p> <p>Neel - Thanks! I love a statement necklace and feel they can go a long way toward dressing an outfit up or down.</p> <p>K - Aw, thank you! I've been going for a simpler look lately, but I haven't quite figured out where the line is&nbsp;between simple/classic and boring for me yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-sharon-challenges-dee#post-1202975 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 19:04:10 +0000 Kristin L 1202975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job! You look great in the blue blazer and dress. To me, your outfits read as classic and simple. I wouldn't say that they are boring because they are flattering on you. I may have to steal a few of your ideas next time I go out of town. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-sharon-challenges-dee#post-1202963 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 18:55:12 +0000 Neel 1202963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dee, I love your casual and date night outfits! The boat shoes are such a pretty color. I also love how you have used the necklace in the first outfit to add some fun to the top. Very very well done indeed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-sharon-challenges-dee#post-1202956 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 18:50:57 +0000 carter 1202956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This one wasn't easy, Dee, but you did a great job! What a great capsule to run away for a work/play weekend. I give you bonus points for doing it all with flats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-sharon-challenges-dee#post-1202950 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 18:40:34 +0000 Dee 1202950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, here we go. First off I want to thank Sharon for a surprisingly tricky challenge. I think it was the two toppers that made it really difficult for me to feel like I was dressing up or down enough, but we'll see what you think. Also, there was no limit on shoes or accessories, which I did expoit a bit. :)</p> <p>I also want to note that I work in an exceedingly casual academic field. So, while I own a suit, you won't be seeing it here.</p> <p>Now, on to the outfits. These are going broadly from dressier to more casusal, and there is some overlap between them.</p> <p>1) Conference wear for when I'm giving a presentation. Blazer + blouse + trousers + black flats +&nbsp;necklace.<br />2) Work wear for meetings or conference wear for a day I am not presenting. Blazer + knit tank + jeans + black flats + necklace.<br />3) Daily work wear for the lab. Cardigan + knit tank + jeans + black oxfords.<br />4) Relaxing day at home. Cardigan + printed tee + jeans + boat shoes.<br />5) Date night. Blouse + jeans + leopard print flats + blingy necklace.</p> <p>Bonus: I was thinking if I was packing for a trip that included most of these events, I would probably be likely to grab a dress instead of an extra&nbsp;top or bottom. So I'm adding this because it's not quite what you asked for, but would be something I would probably include in this capsule to&nbsp;dress up or down as needed.</p> <p>6) Dress for work. Cardigan + dress + nude flats.<br />7) Dress for date night. Dress + nude flats.</p> <p>8) All the shoes. Flats, because I can't wear heels.</p> <p>I have a tendency to stick to classics for my work-related capsules, so these aren't the most exciting outfits but I hope they aren't too boring!&nbsp;Please let me know what you think. And again, thanks Sharon for a fantastic challenge and everyone for looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-sharon-challenges-dee#post-1202338 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 01:26:30 +0000 Tanya 1202338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wonderful challenge.&nbsp; Can not wait to see what Dee comes up with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-sharon-challenges-dee#post-1202330 Sun, 23 Mar 2014 01:14:25 +0000 Beth Ann 1202330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-sharon-challenges-dee#post-1202241 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 21:53:41 +0000 Anonymous 1202241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wise challenge .

I love thinking about capsules. I have too many clothes; they're really brilliant for focusing one's vision. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-sharon-challenges-dee#post-1202159 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 19:20:11 +0000 Lisa 1202159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh a clever challenge!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-sharon-challenges-dee#post-1202079 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 17:21:34 +0000 Dee 1202079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Sharon, this is definitely going to be a challenge for me! I'm usually pretty good at the capsule wardrobe but don't usually include work and date night in the same capsule. I have a few ideas though, so I'll keep mulling it over during the day and hope to get some pics up tonight or tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-sharon-challenges-dee#post-1202026 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 16:13:04 +0000 Neel 1202026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great challenge Sharon! </p>
