Gap's 10 item week long capsule

If the Banana Republic's remix struck you as too dressy or business wear oriented for your lifestyle, they've come up with Gap's more laid back version. Fun, if nothing else. Also, I kinda love that they titled what each model is going to do that day in their outfit (even if it is sort of a dream life filled with artwalks and skating lol). http://www.gap.com/browse/subDivision.do?cid=5646

I wish my week looked like hers!

Yeah - that looks more like my life, although honestly, if you are skating in that outfit you are going to shiver....:) Not to mention bared legged window shopping....BRRRRR. Meanwhile, for you, the very idea of skating this time of year is fantasy. But it's definitely fun and I like some of the pieces, too!

Yes, Thistle, mine would be much more like - Mon, laundry - Tue, groceries - Wed, post office - Thur, lounge - Fri, groceries again - Sat, out to dinner - Sun, watch NFL tix at sports pub. Not nearly as glamorous as latte run and skating day!

I saw it too, and thought it was fun, but it isn't for our weather! I'd be freezing my butt off in all of these.

I also think it's funny how she apparently does not need socks or hose more than half the week smack in the middle of February. I guess she must live in Los Angeles?

You Canadians need to add more layers, while I'd have to remove some lol!

Maybe she lives in the mall and is climate controlled HA!

Much more appropriate for my lifestyle! Somebody get that ombre wool jacket -- such a fun look.
Tuesday's thick jacket with short skirt and bare legs wins the prize for most Seasonally Confused (is there an acronym for that yet?).

This looks fun and a good template to adapt to own needs. One thing I noticed - each day has different shoes. Not sure how minimalistic that is

I was eyeing that ombre jacket! It's cute.

I wish all I had to do on Tuesday was grab a latte.

I love the idea of remixing small amounts of clothing into lots of outfits. But the bare legs and lack of boots throws me off. All I sport at this time of year is boots!

Yeah, I can't help but think that switching the skirt for a sweaterdress would go a lot further.

EDIT: ooh, or even a knit sweater-like midi! Do they make such things?

Mo-yes! I recently got the Joe Fresh black cable-knit tube skirt and plan on its third outing this weekend.

My first reaction to the spread of pics was--how can she wear that striped T for 3 days in a row? If I had to wear only 10 items in a whole week, 3 of them would NOT be jackets of a similar weight (toppers for varying weather conditions would be different).

And yes, the different shoes each day (though that could easily be me).

I'm not sure how I missed the BR one, but I would love to try some of those outfits. The only thing I couldn't do is the shoes. I just don't have enough.

Oh thnx for posting this! Such cute & casual outfits. I'm off to see what the components are.

I would like to make my casual outfits as cute as these...but wouldn't know what to do about the bare legs issue without frumpifying them.

I like how she looks! Although the skirt strikes me as a bit young for me now. A year or two ago I would totally have gone for it.

what do you wear if you have to get a latte because you were too cold after skating?

LOL @ Mo - SHE LIVES AT THE MALL!!!!

I love that gradient moto. Hmm. How to make it work...

I always think these kinds of ads are like paper dolls from my childhood. I loved taking the same pieces and making all kinds of different outfit on the little flat dolls.

Let's see, my week with the second graders consisted of being sneezed on (twice), temper-tantrumed at, farted-while-sitting-next-to-me (again, twice)...oh wait, that was just yesterday...I don't think they'll want to do my work week in one of these ads

Yeah to me the point of these things is using a few pieces different ways. When doing so requires multiple on-trend coats and shoes (the most expensive items) the point is rather lost. I'd rather see how one trendy topper can be used for different looks, etc. Or less expensive trendy pieces mixed with classics, something that makes me revisit my closet while incorporating something new. Rather than throwing up my hands and just going for a latte!

Oh if I felt young enough to wear the skirt, I'd totally do it with wooly tights. My under-10 DDs rock that look

Shirley

I need to get a hot pink sweater.

10 items and 3 of them are coats? Bizarre. I like the general look of the outfits, and I have been seeing the full skater ish skirts a lot on younger women this year.

Yes, three coats in one week capsule is overkill. I can see the choices being market driven (buy, buy, buy) but I like the overall vibe. Not sure on skater skirts at my age, but maybe it's more a personal choice. Maybe in leather to counter the inherent cutesyness.

I've been eyeing that ombre moto too.
