I love packing lists and travel wardrobe reports. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/austria-what-i-packed#post-1613290 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 22:04:17 +0000 L'Abeille 1613290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all. Yes, I had a wonderful time. The great looking pic is probably a feature of being well rested too.</p> <p>I guess I did put a lot of planning effort in, but that was part of the anticipation. Also I started with my basic ski trip list as a template , otherwise I would have forgotten something irreplaceable. </p> <p>Also made easier by the fact that my entire wardrobe is black, white, red and grey (plus navy for spring /summer) so I just had to narrow it down to which pieces.</p> <p>Shiny, I'll be putting some pictures up in Off Topic once I thon them out a bit. But we did a concert, the morning exercise at the Spanish Riding School, the market, lots of Schönbrunn the summer palace (stayed near there) and some of the Hofburg Imperial Palace, and lots of sightseeing.</p> <p>Firecracker, that particular café was in Lambach, on the way from Kits back to Vienna. We made a side trip to the village where my parents met as DPs after the war. Our salon was empty but I noticed 2 others attached (part of a hotel maybe? From the street it just looked like a tiny bakery. It was early afternoon the Friday before Shrove Tuesday, and I think everyone was saving it up for Fasching (Carnival) parties later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/austria-what-i-packed#post-1613226 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 19:18:24 +0000 rachylou 1613226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look faaaaab!

How fun that you went outside your comfort zone, what better time to try a new styling than a trip away from your regular life! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/austria-what-i-packed#post-1612968 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 02:55:20 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1612968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a fantastic packing list! So disciplined and well thought-out, and it seems like it worked well. The photo of you is great--you look stylish and right at home (un-tourist-y). But an empty cafe? That's rare, isn't it? You must have been there really early. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/austria-what-i-packed#post-1612939 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 01:39:09 +0000 shiny 1612939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great list!! You look fabulous in the photo -- red white black theme suits you well!&nbsp;</p> <p>I see you went to the flea market? Did you enjoy it? What else did you do??? Need more pics!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/austria-what-i-packed#post-1612935 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 01:33:13 +0000 carter 1612935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful, and I can imagine you were well-prepared with this list. You had a little Noah's Ark thing going on with 2 of most everything;-). It sounds like a wonderful trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/austria-what-i-packed#post-1612839 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 22:13:06 +0000 L'Abeille 1612839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Trip was for 10 days total, which included 4 days in Vienna and 2 days skiing in Kitsbühel as well as travel time flying and driving.</p> <p>Overall items/numbers:<br /> 2 pants: black Ponte skinnies, and black houndstooth corduroys in a slim jeans cut<br /> 2 tube skirts: black cable knit to just below knee (Joe Fresh) and black and white paisley to just above knee (Cleo)<br /> 2 shirts: white with black pinstripes (Gap) and silk blouse with dark mostly red floral on black<br /> 3 fitted turtlenecks: black mockneck, white turtleneck, and white with horizontal grey stripes<br /> 2 sweaters /jumpers: fine-knit black crewneck, and bulkier black and white Buffalo plaid, both Joe Fresh<br /> 3 vests: fine black V-neck shell for layering over or under, black zip-front polar fleece for serious warmth, and button-front red-grey-black Fair Isle that felt right at home in the Tirol<br /> 2 leggings, black and black pinstripe, worn just for skiing as I didn't have space (or good selection) for tunics. I would have layered under skirts had it been colder in Vienna<br /> 2 belts: 1 black stretchy with blingy fastening for cinching tops over skirts, 1 of woven cordovan, all I could find that worked with the pants, but I bought another black one at the Vienna flea market<br /> 2 coats discussed elsewhere: white plaid parka for skiing and travel, red wool fitted coat for city<br /> 2 scarves: red plaid blanket scarf reversing to houndstooth, red paisley pashmina (forgot the silk scarf I planned for but managed fine without it)<br /> 2 purses, black leather satchel that went everywhere and served as carry-on, and my everyday black clutch that was hardly used<br /> Black leather gloves, red beret, red headband<br /> Footwear: black knee high riding style leather boots, black cap-toe ballet flats with a walkable wedge, and black Birkalikes for hotel room, spa, and when my feet were screaming. I think footwear warrants a separate post.<br /> Plus ski-specific gear, silk long undies and vest, black socks and hose, satin pjs and robe.</p> <p>All these fit into 2 suitcases along with DH's stuff and 2 pairs of ski boots. Items worked in many combinations and situations (mind you, if the ski part had been first we would have needed laundry!) I was surprised how easily the Ponte pants acquired spots and how hard they were to rub out. Otherwise, all I would do differently is footwear options.</p> <p>BTW, I have never been a fan of the skinnies-tucked-into-tall-boots ON ME, though I love it on others (irrational -- I feel very ice-cream-cone despite my skinny thighs and huge feet). But I wore it frequently, felt fab, and from the glimpses I got, looked fab as well. Maybe it's that my actual life requires outdoor boots changed for indoor shoes. </p>
