I'll probably go visit London on Thursday/ Friday then. </p> <p>My flight back to HK was cancelled, so now I'm stuck here a month longer than planned Hopefully that doesn't happen to you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-travel-week-recap#post-2272364 Sun, 17 Jul 2022 19:25:50 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2272364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, the linen looks great.

But they are announcing heat wave related transport issues for tomorrow and tuesday, and we have a flight to catch tuesday, hopefully doesn’t get delayed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-travel-week-recap#post-2272335 Sun, 17 Jul 2022 17:10:46 +0000 Zaeobi 2272335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey glad to see you're enjoying yourself - those joggers look comfy Was thinking to make another trip down to London now that the rail strikes have subsided a little... is the transport situation there ok right now? </p> <p>if it helps, I also was not expecting this 'red alert' heatwave in the UK either - I'm glad I bought one pair of sandals 'just in case' because they're all I've been wearing (I wore my patent loafers once &amp; haven't touched the boots). Oops, lol I've also been too busy with family stuff to shop much but might order something or pop by a charity shop when I get the time - for now though, a fan has worked wonders in the meanwhile! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-travel-week-recap#post-2272293 Sun, 17 Jul 2022 13:20:24 +0000 anchie 2272293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We are having great time, and much deserved after all that we have been through in last 2.5 years.<br /> We arrived to London from Paris, exploring Camden Market today.<br /> I got this linen joggers in Paris and they are very useful addition to my travel wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-travel-week-recap#post-2272268 Sun, 17 Jul 2022 01:16:27 +0000 Jaime 2272268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DD looks gorgeous!

No photos of me, but my DD had some cute outfits. Her style is very opposite of mine, she only wears neutrals </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-travel-week-recap#post-2271086 Mon, 11 Jul 2022 12:44:06 +0000 Janet 2271086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What jessikams said! I’m glad the hardest part of the trip is behind you, and if you can treat yourself to a little shopping I think you totally deserve it. Safe travels and I hope things improve! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-travel-week-recap#post-2270707 Sat, 09 Jul 2022 08:19:30 +0000 Jessikams 2270707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, if the clothes are not working out, so be it. This kind of a trip is never going to be fab, anyway, so maybe it doesn’t matter. Although I hope you can at least be physically comfortable. Hope the rest of your trip improves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-travel-week-recap#post-2270705 Sat, 09 Jul 2022 07:59:48 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2270705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eid Mubarak to your husband and family! Eid is a good time/excuse to get new clothes. </p> <p>It’s cold in Berlin too—so frustrating for July! </p> <p>I hope you can relax and enjoy time with family before jetting off to a fab destination with your daughter, where the weather is neither too hot nor too cold, but just right for what you have packed </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-travel-week-recap#post-2270704 Sat, 09 Jul 2022 07:47:18 +0000 anchie 2270704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The most difficult part of this trip is now behind me. It was incredibly difficult, emotional and overwhelming but it is done. We have now arrived at our second destination to a rainy 16C just in time to celebrate Eid al-Adha with my husband’s side of the family. I can now proceed with booking last leg of the trip. </p> <p>Wardrobe wise - another failure. Only packed one pair of jeans (white) and I managed to stain them already. And my only jacket (denim) is not warm enough for weather here today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-travel-week-recap#post-2269695 Sun, 03 Jul 2022 20:08:24 +0000 Angie 2269695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hang in there! I relate to the clearing out SOOO WELL, <b>anchie.</b> Was there a year ago clearing out my Dad's flat in the Netherlands. It's hard work. Emotional and overwhelming too. One bit at a time. My brother and I worked till midnight each night with the Olympics in the background. Throw on some music or a podcast!</p> <p>So with you on the simplicity of dresses! On your shopping list.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-travel-week-recap#post-2269685 Sun, 03 Jul 2022 19:28:40 +0000 anchie 2269685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I learned something this week it is that when I am feeling overwhelmed, I prefer simplicity of dresses. And they are also best solution for this crazy temperatures. It is 9pm now and still above 30C.<br /> So I definitely need more dresses. But not now, I will have to do with what I have. There are only limited shopping options here and I don’t really have time for it now. I am almost finished with meetings and errands, maybe another day or two, but sorting through my parents belongings is not going so well. There is just too much stuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-travel-week-recap#post-2269668 Sun, 03 Jul 2022 15:01:37 +0000 cat2 2269668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don’t blame yourself. We have had temperatures all over the place the last few weeks, varying up to 40 degrees. Just buy some inexpensive washable dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-travel-week-recap#post-2269663 Sun, 03 Jul 2022 13:29:24 +0000 Anonymous 2269663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How frustrating. &nbsp;On a recent trip I did not wear any of my long sleeved tops. &nbsp;I did wear all my skirts and sleeveless tops. &nbsp;My most worn pieces were toppers layered on when it got too cool for sleeveless. &nbsp;Weather can be a surprise. &nbsp;You need a shopping day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-travel-week-recap#post-2269659 Sun, 03 Jul 2022 13:01:47 +0000 Lana 2269659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is hot, it’s hotter everywhere this year it seems. Sounds like a shopping spree is in order.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-travel-week-recap#post-2269648 Sun, 03 Jul 2022 06:13:39 +0000 Barbara Diane 2269648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would a spray de-wrinkler help? Or putting the items in the bathroom while showering? Putting them between the mattress and box spring if the bed is that kind?<br /> I once bought a light topper I thought was travel fabric and it was the most wrinkled item I have ever owned.<br /> My friend had an Alaskan cruise that was so hot she cut off her pants to shorts and cut off her sleeves.<br /> Good luck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-travel-week-recap#post-2269625 Sun, 03 Jul 2022 01:40:38 +0000 Angie 2269625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sooo frustrating :(</p> <p>What <b>Jaime </b>said! Try to get a few more dresses asap. I hope you find them. Let us know if we can help.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-travel-week-recap#post-2269621 Sun, 03 Jul 2022 01:09:31 +0000 Jaime 2269621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you need a couple of more dresses asap.

But there’s a point where it’s so hot, it’s too hot to continue caring… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-travel-week-recap#post-2269573 Sat, 02 Jul 2022 16:10:21 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2269573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did the opposite! Packed 6 warm/hot-weather things for our 10-day trip. I forced myself to put them all on at least once, but it was a little silly, especially since I only had one warm item to put on in the AC (did not expect my parents’ house to be so cool!). Now that air travel chaos has forced a 2-day trip extension in London on us, I am sorely wishing I’d packed at least one pair of long pants, or a longer skirt! </p> <p>Good luck with your trip; I know you have a lot more to think about than your clothes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-travel-week-recap#post-2269554 Sat, 02 Jul 2022 12:56:13 +0000 Star (Lise) 2269554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a bummer.&nbsp; I was wondering where you were going and I think I&nbsp; mentioned for me in Eastern Europe I can never wear jeans or even pants in July and august.&nbsp; It is hot, hot here and only getting hotter.&nbsp; Are there maybe some 2nd hand shops available for some cool and breezy inexpensive dresses? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-travel-week-recap#post-2269551 Sat, 02 Jul 2022 12:29:49 +0000 Aquamarine 2269551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a chronic overpacker just for this reason. I never get it right…the weather changes, I under or overestimate the temperatures, my feet hurt, etc. etc. You get it.</p> <p>Not helpful, I know. Maybe try to buy a few things, as Janet suggested? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-travel-week-recap#post-2269549 Sat, 02 Jul 2022 12:23:58 +0000 Janet 2269549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that’s so frustrating! I’ve been through something like that too — a detour in travel plans rendered everything I packed the wrong season. Is there any shopping where you are? I’d be looking for some good wearable options if possible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-travel-week-recap#post-2269544 Sat, 02 Jul 2022 11:28:35 +0000 Jessikams 2269544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sounds frustrating! Glad to hear you have at least a few pieces that are working well. And you never know, the weather might suddenly cool down </p>
