I just googled "loaded for bear", you never stop learning. :DI decided to wear the skirt and pullover tomorrow, the rest went into the bag. There's actually still some room left, so that's great. It will be easy to carry.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-little-travel-capsule#post-1402893 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 20:36:37 +0000 Anonymous 1402893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Early Birthday Astrid! You look loaded for bear here, and how amazing that you are leaving straight from work. That involved some careful planning, I imagine. Good job and have a wonderful time with your family! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-little-travel-capsule#post-1402875 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 19:41:31 +0000 Astrid 1402875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks abc! I love that bag too, it has only gotten better with age. It's a great size too. I couldn't remember how old it is so I just had a look through my pics and I got it as a Christmas present in 2008! Talk about wardrobe workhorse.</p> <p>Thanks Suz! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-little-travel-capsule#post-1402868 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 19:27:45 +0000 Suz 1402868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like a great travel capsule, Astrid. And happy birthday!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-little-travel-capsule#post-1402864 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 19:11:34 +0000 abc 1402864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Bday on Friday! :)</p> <p>Great capsule, you always do so well with thinking out your outfits beforehand. &nbsp;I love that bag, I am lusting after a cognac bag this season but haven't looked to find one yet (trying not to shop as much these days). &nbsp;Anyway, enjoy your trip and have a great time, and fab bday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-little-travel-capsule#post-1402848 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 18:42:48 +0000 Astrid 1402848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Thimblelina! That makes sense. I can't remember that I've ever been snowed in...</p> <p>Thanks Shiny! I didn't buy it yet (but wished for it), but I decided to go with the Osprey Farpoint 40. I wrote some PMs back and forth with Eva who owns one and she sent me some pics and answered the questions I had. It fits carryon dimensions here in Europe (although you can't overpack it or it might be too big) and it seems to be a good fit for a woman of 5'3" in the size S/M. </p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-little-travel-capsule#post-1402823 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 17:52:32 +0000 shiny 1402823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! I love that tee shirt.</p> <p>Astrid, while I have you, can you remind me again the carryon&nbsp;bag that you purchased? My DD just asked for one for xmas and from what she described it sounded like she has similar bag requirements to you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-little-travel-capsule#post-1402786 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 16:06:50 +0000 thimblelina 1402786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks perfect! (I'm traveling too, but I've learned when we travel to the snow to pack one extra pantry meal &amp; one extra clean outfit including socks &amp; underwear because we've been unexpectedly snowed in a few times!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-little-travel-capsule#post-1402785 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 16:04:17 +0000 Astrid 1402785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Tania! Not my birthday yet, it's going to be on Friday. </p> <p>Thanks Elly! Yes, I didn't think of that, we don't have Thanksgiving. I think one coat etc. is plenty enough for 4 days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-little-travel-capsule#post-1402783 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 15:52:33 +0000 Elly 1402783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very timely post since many of us U.S. ladies are also traveling because it is our Thanksgiving holiday. Happy birthday--- I think the combos look excellent! </p> <p>I'm going to be gone for 4 days and am up to 4 tops, 4 layering tees, and 3 pants. I do draw the line at one coat, one jacket, and one pair of shoes in my luggage!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-little-travel-capsule#post-1402778 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 15:49:08 +0000 Tania 1402778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Efficiency rocks!&nbsp; Happy birthday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-little-travel-capsule#post-1402775 Wed, 26 Nov 2014 15:44:47 +0000 Astrid 1402775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've just started to pack and thought I'd snap some quick pics to show you what I'm taking for four days. My bag is rather full with clothes my sister wants and some Christmas stuff (already!) so there's not that much room left. Plus I have to take the bag to work tomorrow because I don't have time to go home again after work. My travel oufit is part of this, although I'm not sure yet what I'm going to wear. Probably the skirt and the pullover.</p> <p>#1/2<br />Only outerwear and shoes I'm taking.</p> <p>#3<br />Thin button down shirt, Blues Brothers T-shirt, charcoal bf wool cardigan and slouchy green wool pullover.</p> <p>#4<br />New black skinnies and black belt, checked wool skirt and hose (taking more than the one pair here because of the need for layering).</p> <p>#5<br />Scarf doubling up as travel blanket and handbag.</p> <p>#6<br />Only accessories that I will be wearing.</p> <p>I'm also taking two pair of socks (smartwool), undies, one bra and a cami. Long wool leggings doubling up as underlayer and pajama pants and a tee for sleeping in or layering under the wool pullover. I think that's it. :)</p> <p>That makes these outfit combinations (always with the boots of course):</p> <p>Skinnies with <br />- wool pullover<br />- half tucked tee and cardigan<br />- button down shirt<br />- button down shirt and cardigan</p> <p>Skirt with<br />- wool pullover<br />- tucked tee and cardigan</p> <p>It would have been better if the button down shirt would also go with the skirt and I first thought I should take something different because of that, but it's going to make a nice outfit to wear on my birthday so I'm going with it. With the shirt I'll be pulled together when I'm inside (with rolled sleeves when it's warm) and I can layer the cardigan over for the time I'm outside walking (or inside when it's colder). </p> <p>ETA&nbsp;</p> <p>I had forgotten the pic with the bag and scarf, I fixed it.</p>
