It was extremely windy so we did less activities outside this time around ( gave me more time with my grand kitty.) capsule worked perfectly. Thanks to all for support. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-visiting#post-1903326 Sun, 01 Apr 2018 21:16:23 +0000 jussie 1903326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great packing. Have a fab time. I also pack practical and sensible for visiting family- and yes I have some colour/statement piece withdrawals but the practicality does almost make up for it . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-visiting#post-1902969 Sat, 31 Mar 2018 13:14:56 +0000 Suz 1902969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks like a terrific travel capsule -- it will pack up well, keep you warm, and add some touches of spring colour! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-visiting#post-1902920 Sat, 31 Mar 2018 09:04:16 +0000 Anonymous 1902920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>very good choice for this trip you should not be cold I hope for you that the weather will be better and you recover well.

Three is not enough or bright enough for the capsule this time around- but then I very well can't bring a bag just for scarves....<br />or can I&nbsp; -hmmmm.<br />Donna- what a great Idea.&nbsp; I usually just try to remember what I wore on my last trip to see her.&nbsp; Maybe I will start making notations too.&nbsp; Thanks for the tip.&nbsp; I am bringing a new leather bag (medium blue) I picked up last week for out and about and a tote for when we hit the stores.&nbsp; Since I am traveling with a single carry on- my purse will go in the tote until I get there.<br />Right now weather is not looking great- she already has a storm and ours is due to start here overnight.&nbsp; Have I mentioned I am sick of winter right now!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-visiting#post-1900184 Tue, 20 Mar 2018 14:04:33 +0000 DonnaF 1900184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds good to me! I have started to take detailed notes on my packing capsules, including dates and destination, expected and actual temps, and then I annotate it after I return, noting anything I didn’t wear. Otherwise, I can never remember from time to time.</p> <p>I noticed you didn’t list a bag. I assume just one, and if you need a dressy one or a tote you can borrow it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-visiting#post-1900177 Tue, 20 Mar 2018 13:38:17 +0000 Helena 1900177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks very cohesive, and I love the bright blue and pastel pink to add some easy-to-wear color to the mix.

Tight color palette and practical.<br /> visiting relatives can be more challenging than you’d think. Everyone takes for granted that they can access their closets and fine- tune but the traveler can’t. Usually it’s fine to be very casual so that helps. I seldom try to be very adventurous with my outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-visiting#post-1899701 Sun, 18 Mar 2018 17:55:46 +0000 Cardiff girl 1899701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you ve got it all covered!Hope you have a lovely visit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-visiting#post-1899697 Sun, 18 Mar 2018 17:05:55 +0000 Anonymous 1899697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Will be visiting my daughter and usually have to be ready for any type of activity and/or weather. Certainly keeps life fun and interesting!&nbsp; It also means I have to bring a very flexible wardrobe.&nbsp; When you are a size 8-12 and you are visiting a size 2-4--you know there is absolutely nothing you can borrow!!!! I don't think my big toe can fit in that girl's jeans....<br />&nbsp;I usually take the mix and match approach except when I travel- then I do the very tight capsule approach.&nbsp; Last time I visited I did the teal, aqua, black and gray capsule.&nbsp; <br />This time it will be mostly navy, grey and blues.<br />Bottoms include jeans, black dress slacks and grey knit. Toppers include a wool blazer (1 of few pattern pieces I own) a vest and 2 V neck sweaters that can be worn as topper or as tops.&nbsp; All my shirts are layering type turtlenecks because it is still snowing here and there. Include camis for under turtlenecks or sweaters alone depending on weather and for what ever class she will be dragging me to (yoga, barre,??).&nbsp; 3 fashion scarves&nbsp; and a winter scarf and cowl. Will take short boots, flats and running shoes (she runs/I walk, thank you very much!) I will bring a 3 season coat.&nbsp; Staying home- all button downs, my new trench (too early), dresses and dress shoes and anything with fringe (my grand kitty will be so disappointed...until he sees the treats I am bringing;-)<br />So- what do you folks think?&nbsp; Am I ready for anything??? <br />What should I add/take away?<br />Oh- and I apologize in advance when I post pics...not the most techno person in the world so I am not sure how they show up on receiving end! </p>
