I'm already wearing one poor tee 4 times this week. :) <br /><br />I am loving seeing how everyone puts together their outfits, and I have surprised myself with new combinations and looks! Thanks for doing these. I would love to do a summer one!Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735339885677950350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068279478995366060.post-30446509222028180652010-03-04T19:05:44.413+00:002010-03-04T19:05:44.413+00:00i LOVE this jane! you look so adorable and spring ...i LOVE this jane! you look so adorable and spring is definitely on its way with this outfit!BBMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08890771183134339047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068279478995366060.post-30412638140857183902010-03-04T05:54:12.385+00:002010-03-04T05:54:12.385+00:00I think that increasing the number of days, and pa...I think that increasing the number of days, and particularly extending the challenge over a weekend, would add to the difficulty for sure. One of the benefits for me is that I can wear business casual clothes all week since I'm working, but "budgeting" for a weekend wardrobe would be tricky! <br /><br />I get such a kick out of seeing the various responses to the challenge, whether people are trying it for the first time, or are repeat challengers. It keeps getting better and better.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13212083582840025605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068279478995366060.post-60122982415152257082010-03-04T04:45:55.485+00:002010-03-04T04:45:55.485+00:00I totally think you could decrease the # of option...I totally think you could decrease the # of options or increase the days.

I think I made some bad picks, this time, and so my capsule isn't terribly versatile, but last time I could've gone on for at least two more days. So I agree; next time, make it harder! I'm really interested to see your outfits if you decide to continue using your capsule for a few extra days. <br /><br />PS Love the big belt with the floral shirt and jean skirt, very Western!<br /><br />xxJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03522743459936260901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068279478995366060.post-46734653464285293662010-03-03T16:07:55.369+00:002010-03-03T16:07:55.369+00:00I like the idea of extending over the weekend rath...I like the idea of extending over the weekend rather than cutting back on pieces... do you know how hard it was for me to only choose 2 pairs of shoes and wear the same necklace?!?! :) <br /><br />I do love this idea and I bookmarked your inspiration.

I do think it would be more creative if you extended the challenge over a weekend instead of just Mon-Fri. Personally I wear pretty much a self-imposed work uniform which is a capsule wardrobe of it's own, but it would be more difficult to incorporate some of the looks from my (very different) weekend wear. I think this would be a more interesting way of making it harder than decreasing the number of pieces allowed. Just a thought...Fayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16834701298118126579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068279478995366060.post-52229498087580110062010-03-03T13:21:28.530+00:002010-03-03T13:21:28.530+00:00Leah - I agree the challengers are incredible.
