I have found sometimes that in planning a travel capsule, I gravitate toward whatever I've been wearing the last few days. It's hard for me to project my thinking to what it's going to be like where I'm going, and what I'll really be wanting to wear there. <br /></div><div>I'm hoping your trip goes well and that things continue to resolve for you mother. It's a very stressful situation indeed. I would be packing clothes that add a level of emotional comfort. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tale-of-two-travel-capsules%e2%80%a6#post-2230337 Fri, 08 Oct 2021 20:03:47 +0000 Katerina 2230337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am glad your mum got some good news and things are looking better. Your three travel capsules are so different from each other, wow. I could imagine the vacation one to be brighter, but what a difference in the vibe and feeling between the two recent ones! Very interesting. I do wear different colors depending on my mood and feelings, but I only reflect on it afterwards. At the time it is all subconscious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tale-of-two-travel-capsules%e2%80%a6#post-2230330 Fri, 08 Oct 2021 19:29:31 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2230330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>CS, so true about what a different world it was 18 mos ago! I suppose at that time, moving into assisted living might have felt like retreating from the world, whereas now, when so many feel so isolated by the virus, a communal living situation can feel like stepping into more connections and activity. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tale-of-two-travel-capsules%e2%80%a6#post-2230326 Fri, 08 Oct 2021 19:16:22 +0000 Anonymous 2230326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the second capsule!

Colour reflects mood, for sure! It can also boost mood....but in the planning stages we often forget that.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hoping your visit goes well and glad your mother is feeling a bit less grim. It's very stressful, I know.

The first capsule certainly is more sombre than the second. Subconsciously your mood influenced your choices.<br /> The third capsule absolutely radiates holiday!<br /> Hoping all works well for this next transition for your Mum (and you). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tale-of-two-travel-capsules%e2%80%a6#post-2230213 Fri, 08 Oct 2021 05:15:49 +0000 N 2230213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow you can see your feelings here. The first set is very dark (don't get me wrong though, I actually prefer to wear dark colours myself). For people that normally wear brighter, lighter colours and patterns, the simpleness and darkness of the first capsule is striking. </p> <p>I'm glad things are looking brighter for you and your mum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tale-of-two-travel-capsules%e2%80%a6#post-2230207 Fri, 08 Oct 2021 03:58:52 +0000 NancyW 2230207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicely bringing the light to your face and outer shell in second capsule. I use color to lift my mood or present more powerfully (or hide)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tale-of-two-travel-capsules%e2%80%a6#post-2230204 Fri, 08 Oct 2021 03:51:21 +0000 CarolS 2230204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great observation, Carla! The second capsule definitely feels brighter and happier! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-tale-of-two-travel-capsules%e2%80%a6#post-2230203 Fri, 08 Oct 2021 03:44:37 +0000 Carla 2230203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>…or an exercise in emotional packing! &nbsp;</p> <p> <div><br /></div><div>I’ll be checking in on my mother later this month. &nbsp;She has not been in a good place for a couple of weeks due to health issues and waiting for a place in an assisted living building. &nbsp;I’ve been trying to &nbsp;be supportive and keep her in good spirits, but it’s stressful. &nbsp;When I created a travel capsule earlier this week using Finds - this is what I came up with:<a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/finds/collections/?collection=10516">https://youlookfab.com/finds/c.....tion=10516</a> </p> <p>Today mom shared several pieces of really good news, and her good mood was contagious. &nbsp;Happier about the upcoming visit I worked&nbsp;on a second travel capsule. &nbsp;This is what I came up with:<a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/finds/collections/?collection=10519">https://youlookfab.com/finds/c.....tion=10519</a></p> <p> </div><div><br /></div><div>Reviewing the capsules was shocking to me! &nbsp;Both comprise 15 items (for 4 days), and some items are the same - but, there&nbsp;<i>are&nbsp;<u></u></i>differences - and I can only attribute the difference to the way I&nbsp;<i>felt&nbsp;</i>whilst working on the capsule. &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>The contrast of these two capsules with what I was working on 18 months ago when happily planning a vacation abroad (that got cancelled) is even more shocking!&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-uk-in-may">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....e-uk-in-ma</a>y. &nbsp;</div><div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div></p>
