I've been borrowing nemosmom's "urban adventurer" moniker, which -- mixed with my old "soft classic" vibe -- feels quite apt for this next chapter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/london-packing-update#post-2062260 Thu, 19 Sep 2019 12:31:05 +0000 Style Fan 2062260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great packing list.&nbsp; London does have fantastic shopping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/london-packing-update#post-2062253 Thu, 19 Sep 2019 11:49:10 +0000 anchie 2062253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good. But London is not the worst place to go shopping if you find something missing:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/london-packing-update#post-2062226 Thu, 19 Sep 2019 07:50:16 +0000 Cardiff girl 2062226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good and you have rainwear which is important. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/london-packing-update#post-2062218 Thu, 19 Sep 2019 06:31:59 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2062218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Considering all the daily activities makes such a difference! I take it you also have workout and beach items, off list but in your suitcase? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/london-packing-update#post-2062201 Thu, 19 Sep 2019 03:17:50 +0000 Kathie 2062201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m so impressed that you had everything in finds! A great collection, and easy to add to it, if you find that you’re missing anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/london-packing-update#post-2062198 Thu, 19 Sep 2019 03:12:11 +0000 Anonymous 2062198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great. I think you are wise in using mostly neutrals. In the United Kingdom I see prints in shop windows but not actually being worn. Let us know how it goes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/london-packing-update#post-2062170 Thu, 19 Sep 2019 01:22:57 +0000 rachylou 2062170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks tight! Warm socks for the wellies </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/london-packing-update#post-2062130 Thu, 19 Sep 2019 00:25:14 +0000 SarahD8 2062130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks amazing. Tight palette, tight list of items, and yet covered for all situations. I also suspect you will want to do a little shopping but it sounds like that’s a feature not a bug to you, and I feel confident it won’t be *panic* shopping. Brava! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/london-packing-update#post-2062126 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 23:42:28 +0000 MidwestrnChic 2062126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so impressed.&nbsp; This is a beautiful and well put together capsule.&nbsp; I love your style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/london-packing-update#post-2062125 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 23:40:29 +0000 Sal 2062125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great work - you look well covered here and very stylish!!</p> <p>You will have enough to get through the year if you want to but I hope/suspect a bit of top up shopping will occur.&nbsp; Nice to have a few pieces to remind you of London on your return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/london-packing-update#post-2062124 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 23:29:29 +0000 Bonnie 2062124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks excellent.

Many thanks to your earlier comments, I thought hard – and hopefully realistically — about the range of styles I’ll want to have and the activities/scenarios for which I’ll need them.</p> <p>The palette relies strongly on black, white, and navy, with a bit of support from richer neutrals like camel/ochre/nude/metallic.&nbsp;You can see almost all of the pieces in my "collections":&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/finds/collections/?member=notsaf">https://youlookfab.com/finds/c.....ber=notsaf</a>.</p> <p>Thanks to you, I’ve asked myself questions like: What will I wear when it rains/snows? What will I wear if I need to dress up? What will I wear every day (professionally and casually)? What will I wear to more formal professional events? What will I wear at home? What will I wear to work out? What will I wear on vacation? And I have satisfying answers to all of these!</p> <p>Of course, I will want to fill in some gaps and add some novelty as the year progresses, but that would be true at home, too, so I feel happy leaving room for shopping.</p> <p>In the end, this feels like a much more considered and rich collection than the one I started with, so I’m really grateful for your feedback!</p> <p>THANKS!</p> <p>Coats</p> </p> <ol> <li>Wool coat</li> <li>Trench coat (wear on plane)</li> <li>Raincoat</li> <li>Patagonia 3-in-1 coat</li> </ol> <p><b></b>Toppers<b></b></p> </p> <ol> <li>Black wool blazer</li> <li>Black linen blazer</li> <li>Navy wool blazer</li> <li>Navy ponte blazer (suit)</li> <li>Black and white striped ponte blazer</li> <li>Black oversized cardigan</li> <li>Black faux leather jacket</li> <li>Jean jacket</li> </ol> <p><b></b>Tops<b></b></p> </p> <ol> <li>Black ribbed “best tank” (x 3)</li> <li>Black high-neck sleeveless top</li> <li>White and black striped short sleeve tee</li> <li>White and black striped long sleeve tee</li> <li>Dark blue silk pleated v-neck top</li> <li>Black floral cream and blush peasant top</li> <li>Navy and white spotted split-neck top</li> <li>Black split-neck top</li> <li>White tie-neck top</li> <li>Ivory silky long-sleeved button-down</li> <li>Ivory vintage silk long-sleeved button-down</li> <li>Black bell-sleeved top</li> </ol> <p><b></b>Sweaters<b> </b></p> </p> <ol> <li>Oversized black pullover sweater</li> <li>Cropped black pullover sweater</li> </ol> <p><b></b>Bottoms</p> </p> <ol> <li>Dark wash skinny jeans (x 2)</li> <li>Dark wash slim boyfriend jean</li> <li>Black skinny pants</li> <li>Navy ponte pants (suit)</li> <li>Leather skirt</li> <li>Black cropped kick-flare jeans</li> <li>Mid-wash cropped boyfriend jeans</li> </ol> <p><b></b>Dresses</p> </p> <ol> <li>Black polka dot sundress</li> <li>Black plunging v-neck midi dress</li> <li>Denim boxy long-sleeved shirt dress</li> </ol> <p><b></b>Shoes<b></b></p> </p> <ol> <li>Camel thong sandals</li> <li>White sneakers</li> <li>Black + gold workout sneakers (wear on plane)</li> <li>Blush loafers</li> <li>Silver brogues</li> <li>Black pointed-toe ballet flats</li> <li>Black suede pumps</li> <li>Black high-shaft booties</li> <li>Green short wellies (waterproof)</li> </ol>
