You look nice and bright next to the colourful elephant! I do enjoy travel posts particularly, thanks for sharing your capsule. Looked like it all worked well together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-another-travel-capsule-melbourne-winter#post-1677571 Sat, 11 Jun 2016 07:27:12 +0000 Helen11 1677571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Adelfa and Brooklyn. I can't imagine being hot on the plane. Maybe that explains the people travelling in shorts and thongs (flip flops!) I think I have a new record for number of days to wear the orange jacket : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-another-travel-capsule-melbourne-winter#post-1677417 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 23:00:49 +0000 Brooklyn 1677417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sigh! I am always hot on the plane! But<br /> Melbourne weather is so unpredictable, you have to prepare for anything. Once I went in January (mid summer) and the top temperature each day was 16 degrees. I think your capsule had everything covered. I am glad you had a great time and got to wear your lovely orange jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-another-travel-capsule-melbourne-winter#post-1677409 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 22:46:35 +0000 Adelfa 1677409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic capsule! I love travel posts too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-another-travel-capsule-melbourne-winter#post-1677338 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 21:37:48 +0000 Helen11 1677338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Delurked, I also find it harder to pack for holidays with family. We're often doing a greater variety of activities, and I like to have some exercise clothes as well.<br /> Thanks Robin and Suz, we did have a good time. On previous trips i have borrowed a black coat, and felt lost in the sea of black! The bright colour gives me a lift. I thought you might like the colour, Diane : )<br /> Rachy, I think the coat is a wool blend, with a poly lining. It worked really well for me, now that I've figured out that it's outerwear, and not an indoor topper (I told you winter clothing is a foreign concept! ) When I need to replace it, I think I will look for a petite fit, but I'm happy for now as I can only really wear it when I travel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-another-travel-capsule-melbourne-winter#post-1677289 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 19:45:54 +0000 Anonymous 1677289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like you had a lovely time and took a fab capsule of clothing with you. I adore that lovely pumpkin toned coat, you look great in it! I'm like you with packing...I always take a few more items than I need because I like to have options.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-another-travel-capsule-melbourne-winter#post-1677237 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 17:42:37 +0000 rachylou 1677237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love travel capsules too!

I agree - a scarf can make the difference between being warm or cold. Your coat is very cute on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-another-travel-capsule-melbourne-winter#post-1677111 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 13:42:50 +0000 Suz 1677111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fabulous travel capsule! You look fantastic in your jacket and I love the fun touches of leopard print and dots. I have learned that travelling with a bright jacket can be the biggest mood lifter possible!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-another-travel-capsule-melbourne-winter#post-1677093 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 13:15:12 +0000 RobinF 1677093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great travel capsule. I love the bright coats. I agree that a scarf can make a huge difference in keeping warm. Looks like you had a great trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-another-travel-capsule-melbourne-winter#post-1677087 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 12:50:00 +0000 Anonymous 1677087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a nice jacket. I like the concept of neutrals plus a strong colored jacket. And then picking up color in accessories.</p> <p>I find I can put together a fairly cohesive and succinct capsule if I'm sightseeing on a trip. I struggle to edit down when I'm seeing a lot of family - it makes me want to bring a lot more options, and items that don't always coordinate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/and-another-travel-capsule-melbourne-winter#post-1677070 Fri, 10 Jun 2016 12:00:32 +0000 Helen11 1677070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of Fabbers planning trips at the moment, and I really like the travel posts. So here's mine.<br /> I recently had a few days in Melbourne, and enjoyed some Australian winter weather.<br /> My DS and I travelled together and took one piece of checked luggage for us both, which weighed in at 13kg. I don't think I could have packed in a carry on, though.<br /> Our accomodation had the luxury of a washer and dryer,and my son commented that we had enough clothes to stay indefinitely! I did have more than I really needed, but I wanted to have some options, and a second pair of shoes in case it was really rainy and we got wet.<br /> Temps were around 10 -15 C and in true Melboune fashion it was sunny, cloudy, rainy and windy. (For reference, we came home to 28C!)</p> <p>Outfits were<br /> Denim dress, black fleece lined tights, black boots. Orange jacket when needed.<br /> Jeans, black tee, scarf and jacket. Pink rain jacket over the top. Colour clash, but warm! Pewter sneakers.<br /> Black skinnies, chambray shirt, leopard scarf and jacket, black boots over skinnies, which minimises the gap at my calf.<br /> Lounge wear of cream cardi, which was nice to wear inside, and black soft pants ( hardly worn)<br /> Not pictured: 2 camis, underwear, socks and pyjamas.<br /> Accessories: 2 scarves, belt, beanie and gloves. New cheap big bag to lug everything in. (DS also had a backpack)</p> <p>What I have learnt from YLF and a couple of trips in the last 12 months:<br /> (Basic knowledge to those of you in cold climates)<br /> * it's usually warm enough inside for me to wear a long sleeved shirt with a Cami under, no jacket needed.<br /> * a raincoat keeps the wind out, too.<br /> * adding a scarf keeps me much warmer<br /> * put gloves on before you feel really cold<br /> * it is Always cold on the plane.</p> <p>I'm pleased to say I did stay warm and had appropriate clothes for our activities. I saw lots of light denim/black skinnies outfits : )<br /> We had a great trip. We used lots of public transport, and walked lots, and had very friendly staff / volunteers help us whenever needed. </p> <p>Thanks for any comments. </p>
