Think four seasons in one day.<br /> I'd start with long range weather forecasts + then check more closely in the weeks leading up to arrival.<br /> Someone from Melbourne with more experience is sure to chime in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/melbourne-in-december#post-1841327 Thu, 31 Aug 2017 20:57:43 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1841327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For that beachy New Year's Eve, I'd probably go really simple, like clam-diggers/long shorts or a black sundress with a sparkly necklace. </p> <p>Taking your family that far for a holiday is logistically difficult. These are my ideas on pulling that off:</p> <p>Check out the packing cubes post to see if those would be helpful, then focus on one cube at a time. </p> <p>This will cross your mind fleetingly several times between now and then. Make notes and find a place to put them. Pull them out a few weeks ahead of your trip and consolidate them into one list, maybe with a cup of hot tea on a grey and chilly day that has you wishing for summer. (But if you only get nice, crisp weather with clear skies in November, don't put it off!) </p> <p>Set out a box or suitcase or bag long before you intend to begin packing. When something strikes you that you must take, toss it in there. When you do laundry, think through the fresh items before you put them away and toss anything that's going on the trip into the suitcase. When you get presents to give to them--straight into the suitcase. When you sit down to pack, the head start will feel really good. </p> <p>Give your kids simplified lists. You may want to have control over what they wear for certain events, but for others you can say "bring me five outfits and six pairs of underwear" or whatever. Let them live with their choices, as long as they aren't outlandish. </p> <p>Ask other family members what they're wearing New Year's Eve and for other events. It doesn't have to be a big convo, just ask and see if their answers spark any ideas. </p> <p>Do a packing photo post a couple days ahead of time. It will force you to organize things, and you'll get good ideas. </p> <p>When you get there, don't worry. Borrow things from relatives if you must, but focus on the experiences and family time.</p> <p>Have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/melbourne-in-december#post-1841250 Thu, 31 Aug 2017 16:56:27 +0000 Toban 1841250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to be thinking about it now if you live in the northern hemisphere since you can think about your current summer wardrobe and fill any necessary gaps while summer merchandise is still in stores. Melbourne is very hot that time of year. Sundresses will be handy. I lived in Melbourne for a year several years ago and found it fairly stylish. It was generally a dry heat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/melbourne-in-december#post-1841241 Thu, 31 Aug 2017 15:38:02 +0000 Faith 1841241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm headed to Melbourne in December for Christmas &amp; New Years. Every time I travel (which is frequently) I leave everything to the last minute because my closet is poorly prepared and I am a terrible shopper, the result of this poor planning is I always find myself wishing I looked as good as the rest of my group, what's the rest of the group wearing? Nothing fabulous they just put more thought into it! So the point of my post is for suggestions on what to pack, we're visiting family, maybe touring a bit and then winding down with 5 days in a house on the beach over New Years. People tell me it's crazy hot during December which is already causing some anxiety because I don't do well in hot weather. Anyone have any thoughts? What could I wear for New Years if we end up just chilling in the beach but I still want to be a bit dressy? Thanks in advance! </p>
