You both look fab and your photos are so interesting. I've been to Italy four times but never to Milan, now I want to go there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milan-2#post-2018423 Sun, 07 Apr 2019 15:07:29 +0000 ChristelJ 2018423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for sharing these great photos! You and your mum are beautiful. It's so satisfying to see fashion in action in real life. I love Italy and spent a semester there eons ago, but forgot all the Italian I learned. Your mum is inspiring; one can keep on learning at any age.<br /> Lovely purchases, and even better, they will be associated with lovely memories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milan-2#post-2018410 Sun, 07 Apr 2019 13:56:05 +0000 Becky 2018410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jane, this sounds like such a wonderful experience all the way around. You and Mum look perfectly fabulous. What exciting purchases. I always love purchasing on trips and then remembering as I wear/use each item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milan-2#post-2018401 Sun, 07 Apr 2019 13:44:27 +0000 Jane 2018401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>ChrisM </b>thank you so much! I took a lot of care to plan in advance with the packing. It worked well; it is the first time I have planned quite so comprehensively. I needed two outfits per day - morning at school and early evening out. I packed</p> <p>3 bottoms: blue jeans, black jeans, houndstooth check skirt;&nbsp;<br />2 jumpers: striped, woolly jumper (unworn except for plane home)<br />4 blouses: mustard, red spot, red, navy<br />2 jackets: denim, mustard tweed<br />2 dresses: green lace, animal print<br />Big navy coat<br />3 shoes: trainers, white boots, black boots with low heel<br />gear leggings, gear top (good for lounging in in-between school and going out again)<br />nightie, dressing gown<br />5 scarfs</p> <p>Basically, lots. It weighed 10 kg and fitted in the largest pliage bag. Nothing needed ironing; tops were lightweight. I did wear trainers and skirt/dress and black opaque tights and felt very comfortable.</p> <p><b>Chouette,</b> wow! Completely fluent! I love Italy very much and it is my big plan to move there if Brexit doesn't sort out! I'm (kind of) joking! We are going to keep on learning. How lovely to have started such a group, and kept it going.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>RunCarla,</b> thank you, it was enormous fun. Mum is a minimal colour dresser with white and navy being the focus. Mum stocked up on t shirts in Benetton in jade, pink and yellow.</p> <p><b>Phoebe, </b>thank you. Outfit 3 was my favourite of the week. I love that skirt! I can't wait to wear the Zara top!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milan-2#post-2018400 Sun, 07 Apr 2019 13:42:48 +0000 Anonymous 2018400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great trip-wish I could do similar with my mother! Love outfits #1 and #2 the most </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milan-2#post-2018399 Sun, 07 Apr 2019 13:41:32 +0000 Bijou 2018399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fun to see your pictures. You and Mum look like you are having a wonderful time together. You got some great new purchases and look super stylish (as does your very youthful and vibrant Mum).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milan-2#post-2018396 Sun, 07 Apr 2019 13:27:10 +0000 Phoebe 2018396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love outfit no 3 and the Zara top - so fashion forward!!<br />Your mum&nbsp; (and you) look lovely!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milan-2#post-2018395 Sun, 07 Apr 2019 13:13:18 +0000 Carla 2018395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks liken fun, Jane. Thanks for sharing pics! Mum is very chic in crisp blue and white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milan-2#post-2018391 Sun, 07 Apr 2019 12:33:47 +0000 chouette22 2018391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh what wonderful photos - thanks for sharing! Such an excellent idea for mom and daughter to learn a language together, on location! How very, very special! I spent an entire semester in Perugia 30 years ago and still remember it so, so fondly. And I am still completely fluent. I started an Italian conversation group 20 years ago and we have been meeting twice monthly in a café ever since! As the saying goes: if you don't use it, you lose it.<div>LOVE the jacket and matching blouse from Benetton!<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milan-2#post-2018385 Sun, 07 Apr 2019 11:47:51 +0000 ChrisM 2018385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your pics are lovely! Congratulations on a vacation to remember! (Hi, Mum!)</p> <p>I would be interested in a review of your packing choices - what worked what didn’t. You look so chic in your posts - </p> <p>Did you wear the trainers with skirts and tights? I saw pics lots of booties (black and white) but not so many of trainers.</p> <p>So fun to travel vicariously with you - thanks so much for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/milan-2#post-2018380 Sun, 07 Apr 2019 10:53:56 +0000 Jane 2018380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Back home now! We had the most fantastic time. It was super to learn Italian and lovely to be in Milan. We took things very easy and did little in between our classes. Mum and I had such a special time together, so many happy memories to think back on. </p> <p>Mum feels very much younger than when we set out - lots of stairs in our hotel and 5 to 7 miles walking a day. 78 years young on Wednesday so a wonderful example to me. She was The Star in the class; she gave and received lots of love.&nbsp;</p> <p>We did shop and fell back in love with Benetton, I bought a matching jacket and a blouse. From Zara a little orangey top, perfect for under a denim jacket in the summer.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you for your kind and generous comments on my previous post; they gave us a little boost every morning as we were getting ready for school.&nbsp;</p> <p>A few photos - of buildings and unsupervised building tools (can't take me away from work for too long!). Happy hour in Milan is super good value and delicious. Weather was variable, and if it rained, it seemed to rain a lot!</p>
