There are some awesome pieces in there, and as well it looks like it would all fit together so well.</p> <p>I have been eyeing that same necklace on Etsy, the one with the bird and the branch - it is SO cute. I hope you get it and I can live vicariously!</p> <p>Well done and double-bonus-points for going right after Suz; you rose to the challenge!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-suz-challenges-hil#post-1205002 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 20:49:25 +0000 Suz 1205002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well! I would love any of those for you so I hope you do get at least a couple of them. And if you don't really need toppers, well -- you don't need them. That's where accessories become so important. All the more reason to buy a great bag! &nbsp;:)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-suz-challenges-hil#post-1204998 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 20:48:05 +0000 viva 1204998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that this challenge involved shopping. So fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-suz-challenges-hil#post-1204992 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 20:35:44 +0000 Hil 1204992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will admit that the toppers stumped me a little - I found it hard to find toppers that worked with the tops I liked and I know that much of the time, the toppers would not stay on past the walk from my car to the office. </p> <p>I am currently seriously considering 2, 3, 5, 6,10 and 16 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-suz-challenges-hil#post-1204977 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 20:23:25 +0000 Suz 1204977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA: I can also see most of these items working very well into your already existing wardrobe. Which is a real plus. You have some great striped skirts that would work with the tops, adding that bit of pattern. And you could also use scarves for a bit of pattern as well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-suz-challenges-hil#post-1204974 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 20:21:46 +0000 Suz 1204974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Hil, you were quick! And you rose to the challenge brilliantly, I must say. I think you have had some of these items on your radar already. I am curious which (if any) you might purchase?&nbsp;</p> <p>Looking them over, I'm completely in love with #6 in the rust for you. Also the teal top would be amazing on you. </p> <p>And given your love for your white out outfit this past summer, I think the white top would be a great addition, too, though I'm not sure how it would play with the toppers...I guess that is what the experimentation is for. </p> <p>I also love #5 and can see why it attracted you -- the texture and shape would be a lot of fun. I always get so frustrated by the sleeves that don't allow you to wear a topper, but they're so appealing at the same time, and I guess that is what a genuine coat is for. :)&nbsp;</p> <p>The checked pants look terrific, too! And the bags are gorgeously earthy while the jewellery is so pretty!&nbsp;</p> <p>I'd say you've earned all your points <b>PLUS</b> the bonus ones!&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for being such a great sport about it, and I can't wait to see if you actually buy any of these items and put them to work for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-suz-challenges-hil#post-1204969 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 20:13:39 +0000 carter 1204969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! A dream capsule for sure. Great job, Hil! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-suz-challenges-hil#post-1204964 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 20:09:21 +0000 deb 1204964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good job. I love how the boho chic works its way through the capsule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-suz-challenges-hil#post-1204955 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 20:02:30 +0000 Hil 1204955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow... what a task Suz set for me! And what a privilege to be set a challenge by Suz who for me is one of the iconic members of YLF!&nbsp;</p> <p>I decided to use this challenge for my autumnal/winter shopping list so all of the items below are off shopping sites that I could and do&nbsp;actually shop from and some are items similar to what I have in my closet.</p> <p>A few notes about our weather. Most of these items could do for Autumn and winter. Our cold seasons&nbsp;are typically quite mild so I can easily get away with tights and skirts.</p> <p>I used Angie's advice in her&nbsp;<u><i></i></u><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2014/03/14/business-casual-capsule-for-spring/">blog post</a> that Suz referenced and tried to limit patterns.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also decided on a darker pallet, because I do love dramatic black and I think the colder months are the best time to exploit that!&nbsp;</p> <p>So to start... Bottoms - I chose a variety of silhouettes as suggested by Angie</p> <p>1. A black body con tube/pencil skirt<br />2. I loved this flippy check skirt&nbsp;<br />3. I lightly patterned peg leg pant - I like the idea of this, but with a cuff. I wasn't able to find an image that translated this well though.&nbsp;<br />4. A skinny - which I know is a winning silhouette for me with my love of loose and oversize toppers.</p> <p>And then the tops:</p> <p>5. I loved the crazy big&nbsp;sleeves on this jersey. I couldn't add a topper to this though.<br />6. This slub top is available in rust as well which is gorgeous. But I think I was channeling Deborah when I was searching for clothing!&nbsp;<br />7. Hmmm... I have not really tried the pleather/leather look before, but my eye is adjusting to it and would like to give this sort of thing a try in my wardrobe<br />8. An easy fit high low top in a colour I adore!!!<br />9. Keeping things light, and a little boho ;)</p> <p>And then the toppers...&nbsp;</p> <p>10. I thought this biker jacket was just too cool!&nbsp;<br />11. A blazer is always a winner for days where a bit more smart than casual is required.<br />12. A waterfall cardigan</p> <p>13 - 16 - Shoes that I have been eyeing out...</p> <p>17 - 18 Bags... (I actually own 18 in a lighter shade)</p> <p>19 - 22 Jewelry (OK - these are things from pinterest that I just think are too gorgeous and will add the boho touch I love.</p> <p>And that folks, is that.... my business casual capsule for Autumn/Winter.&nbsp;</p> <p>I certainly learned a lot from putting together this imaginary capsule so once again - Thank you Suz!&nbsp;</p> <p><u></u> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-suz-challenges-hil#post-1204807 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 17:18:48 +0000 Thistle 1204807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't wait to see Hil's response!&nbsp; Such a fun (and <i>useful</i>) challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-suz-challenges-hil#post-1204803 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 17:15:27 +0000 rachylou 1204803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the capsule challenges... even tho my own approach is so theoretical, I appreciate the tangibility. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-suz-challenges-hil#post-1204716 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 15:46:52 +0000 Marmee 1204716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a thoughtful challenge! &nbsp;Can't wait to see Hil's response. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-suz-challenges-hil#post-1204619 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 13:49:02 +0000 Lisa 1204619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another clever challenge.&nbsp; These keep getting better and better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-suz-challenges-hil#post-1204598 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 13:26:25 +0000 Golden 1204598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh such fun!
