Comfort trumps when it comes footwear for London, so I hope you took the Fryes.<br /> Have a fabulous trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/london-packing#post-908913 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 03:02:17 +0000 kellygirl 908913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Late to the party but I just wanted to tell you how fab your outfits are. I LOVE the bomber on you and the drama of the high low blouse with the denim jacket. You always look like you stepped out of a magazine layout. SO pretty! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/london-packing#post-908713 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 22:27:36 +0000 Jenava 908713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am bringing socks - grey ones. &nbsp;I think I'll be OK with those - I can always roll-down the bf jeans as they are full length. &nbsp;And, I will run and grab my tights to stash in my bag for wearing with my skirt and dress&nbsp;- we are leaving in 30 mins for the airport. &nbsp;(-:<br /><br />As an aside, very shocked and saddened by the news from Boston. &nbsp;My mom's good friend is running in the marathon but she is safe and not hurt. &nbsp;Looks like is was mostly spectators that were injured? &nbsp;Hope all the Bostonians YLFers are OK!<br /><br />We will be in London for Margaret Thatcher's funeral, so am a little amped up over that already because of course there will be high security around that. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/london-packing#post-908509 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 18:14:04 +0000 rachylou 908509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Like the grey oxfords too, but the comfort issue gives me pause. <br /><br />Need want your white shirt and black/white bomber.<br /><br />Superb outfits for traveling if you ask me :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/london-packing#post-908271 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 13:44:22 +0000 Deborah 908271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenava, great outfits. Can't advise re travel packing but these look amazing. Particularly #2, edgy and interesting. Judging from street style pics I see from London, I think this will be perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/london-packing#post-908157 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 09:44:32 +0000 lyn67 908157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ See what you're comming up whith! That's right! So challenging to travell if you don't really have casual clothes:-(... https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/london-packing#post-908049 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 02:13:41 +0000 Suz 908049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look great in that bomber, Jeneva! So cool! And I love #2. The tube skirt is so fab. And what the heck is that FABULOUS top you are wearing in that photo? I think I need one of those.&nbsp;<br /><br />Like Angie, I want to advise hose (or leg covering pants). I was in London when Sarah was there and it was record-breaking cold, as you know, and by now it must be a lot better -- but still. Given the way the weather has been playing out, I would err on the safe side.&nbsp;<br /><br />As for shoes, I brought <b>FOUR</b> pair to London! For me, having a variety is key. In the end, due to wet and cold, I only wore two of the ones I brought, but I was really glad to have the options available.&nbsp;<br /><br />I hope you have a fabulous time!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/london-packing#post-908037 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 02:03:21 +0000 sarah 908037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow, you look so stylish! I echo Angie. I just returned from record cold temps in London, although I think it's warmed up a bit now. You might want to bring black tights for #2 - so you have uniqlo or something similar? And for #3, you won't be able to go sockless, so be prepared.&nbsp;<br /><br />I'm jealous you'll see the Book of Mormon! For various reasons, we missed it when it came thru Mpls. Enjoy! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/london-packing#post-908014 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:42:30 +0000 Jaime 908014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the black and white bomber on you and #2 looks great also. In #1 I prefer the grey loafers. I don't have advice, apart from comfortable shoes, but I am planning to learn from you! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/london-packing#post-907999 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:25:04 +0000 Angie 907999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ LOVE the&nbsp;outfits! Isn't that bomber incredible? Please write a review for the store when you have a moment :)&nbsp;<br /><br />Nude hose, Jenava. I know you don't run cold like I do, but London is about walking around outside <b><i>all the time</i></b>. It gets cold! I see your bare little legs in those BFs and I'm already shivering. Just make sure you bring warm outfits. Trench is good, but look after the legs too.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/london-packing#post-907995 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:18:12 +0000 Day Vies 907995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ #4 is super cute! I love everything about it!&nbsp; #1 I like the gray shoes better than the black. I love how cool #2 is #3 I think you could have more fun with the shoes (different color?). <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/london-packing#post-907975 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 00:40:42 +0000 Jenava 907975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ caro, I have terrible feet! &nbsp;I am trying to figure out what to wear because my Naot's that I took to Europe last time are completely thrashed from using them to bike to and from work in. &nbsp;And I will need to pack dress shoes, so it seems I will be bringing quite a few pair...<br /><br />Thanks for the comment on the top color. &nbsp;I think you're right - which may be why I thought the oxfords worked OK, because they echo the black and there isn't any other black in the outfit. &nbsp;I do have a white, black and grey sleeveless top I could try instead.<br /><br />Hedgie, we leave Monday. &nbsp;Hopefully the weather will be reasonable...You should have lovely weather when you go! &nbsp;I'll report back on what works. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/london-packing#post-907971 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 00:29:53 +0000 hedgiehog 907971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your outfits so far! When is your trip? I'm going in 8 weeks and have been thinking of what to pack. I like that you can mix and match the pieces you have posted here. Like you, I've been inspired by Ornella's use of the sheath dress so I may take me as well. I'll be watching your post for updates. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/london-packing#post-907970 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 00:29:38 +0000 Caro in Oz 907970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love #2,3 &amp; 4 - YLF.<br /><br />Not sure about #1 - there is something about the weight &amp; length of the jacket with the tee &amp; jeans - maybe a lighter coloured tee?<br /><br />I would take the comfiest shoes too (but I can't function if my feet are sore). https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/london-packing#post-907962 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 00:16:57 +0000 Jenava 907962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Four outfits I've put together so far...I think I'm going with the grey loafer with outfit #1 (even though the Frye oxford's are more comfortable and supportive...) &nbsp;What do you think?<br /><br />I'm trying to balance casual and current for this trip, and I don't have a ton of casual clothes, so it's a bit of a challenge.<br /><br />I also plan to bring a pair of skinny knit Vince pants in olive green, a white button down and thin black pullover sweater, and my moto jacket. &nbsp;Debating, based on my other thread, if I'll be bringing my track pants.<br /><br />I'll wear the short boots with outfit #4, instead of the tall ones. &nbsp;The bag pictured will be my main bag for day. &nbsp;<br /><br />For evening (matinee of Book of Mormon with dinner after, and probably going out to a nice dinner Saturday), I'm bringing cropped orchid pink&nbsp;wool trousers (J. Crew), and a dress (yet to be determined) for dinner. &nbsp;Based on Ornella's travel capsule I'm leaning towards a sheath dress, although I don't think I'd need to mix it in as much like she did.<br /><br />For a coat I'm bringing my black trench with removable wool liner and long grey wool scarf which I'll also probably wear with many outfits indoors as well as out.<br /><br />Let me know what you think! &nbsp;Suggestions welcome.
