I had assumed they feel about like plastic beach shoes, am amazed they’re so comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-travel-capsule#post-2020788 Fri, 19 Apr 2019 02:44:22 +0000 Carla 2020788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! Thanks! I'm on the road and just signed on for my YLF fix and read your response. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-travel-capsule#post-2020787 Fri, 19 Apr 2019 02:40:48 +0000 Mainelady 2020787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Carla, the Pointy toe Rothy.s are very flat. They have a cushioned insole, but are not super supportive. I haven’t tried the loafer style or the sneakers, yet, but those both look like they might have more structure and therefore support. I had over 18,000 steps in Rothy’s today and my feet felt great all day.<br /> Hahaha suntiger. Nope, I make a good copilot though.<br /> fifthandfinest, yes, lots of mixing and matching. DTwin brought 3 scarves and they have worked well for us.<br /> Kim M, great thoughts! My sister brought 2 scarves with the rhubarb color and I have worn them both. Red lipstick! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-travel-capsule#post-2020661 Thu, 18 Apr 2019 17:45:46 +0000 Kim M 2020661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If this were me, I'd add a print scarf with the rhubarb and other colors you have there in it.&nbsp; Patterns can mix well with both stripes and leopard.&nbsp; Maybe it's something you can shop for while you're there.&nbsp; Personally, I like red-family colors near my face with a pretty, coordinated lipstick. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-travel-capsule#post-2020648 Thu, 18 Apr 2019 16:48:20 +0000 fifthandfinest 2020648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the way you've planned this out (and I think we're wardrobe sisters - blue and white stripes and leopard print feature heavily in my closet!). Looks like there's lots of mixing and matching potential. I always take my years old Zara brown woolly wrap scarf for planes and any unexpected cold snaps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-travel-capsule#post-2020583 Thu, 18 Apr 2019 13:55:48 +0000 Anonymous 2020583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I figured you were the pilot :)<br /> Looking forward to seeing you with your twin! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-travel-capsule#post-2020483 Thu, 18 Apr 2019 02:26:16 +0000 Carla 2020483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When you have some free time, can you tell me about those Rothy's? Is the sole supportive? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-travel-capsule#post-2020481 Thu, 18 Apr 2019 01:52:43 +0000 Mainelady 2020481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Suntiger.

I think I can successfully add one of those to each outfit. Yes, I am very fortunate to have such a close relationship with my sister. We will be celebrating each other every day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-travel-capsule#post-2020284 Wed, 17 Apr 2019 08:33:23 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2020284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you’re set for a delightful time. How great that you and your sister are so close!<br /> I like the rhubarb and the blue/silver stripe! If you have one of them &amp;/or the leopard in each outfit, I don’t think you’ll be bland at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-travel-capsule#post-2020140 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 16:42:39 +0000 Mainelady 2020140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Angie.

It’s too late to pack boots. I’m waiting to board the plane. Perhaps I will find some fab ones in NYC. Chances are very good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-travel-capsule#post-2020119 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 14:40:32 +0000 Angie 2020119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY.

Yes, I can add zing with the bangles. I am limiting myself to 3, because I will wear some of my sisters and we can share. She is the inspiration for my signature happiness factors.<br /> Shevia, we are sooo ready for some sister fun! We have not had an opportunity to just be us for 4 days (without sharing with other friends and family) since college!<br /> Shiny, you have great advice. I don’t know what my coat will be. I am wearing one of DTwin’s so I don’t have to pack one! I’m not worried. She has fabulous style!<br /> Thank you Taylor. Ah, yes, shopping in my sister’s closet is one of my favorite stores! Hahaha. Good luck with your packing and have a wonderful trip!<br /> Rachylou, thank you for your sweet compliment.<br /> Firecracker, I almost packed a pair of slacks, but then changed my mind. I am uncomfortable wearing wrinkles and I know I not have to worry about those with jeans. Have a great time in NY! I am sure your travel capsule will be great and you already have one item to get you started...the harem pants! They sound fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-travel-capsule#post-2019994 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 04:02:23 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2019994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Your travel capsule looks perfect. You will have plenty of outfits, because everything goes with everything else. <br /></div><div>I might swap out one jean for a non-jean. But that's me. I sometimes like to seize an opportunity to wear something other than jeans (believe it or not--haha!). I will sometimes bring harem pants with me, because I can pull them up into a skirt look if I want to feel more dressy. Your sister's advice sounds right, and your jeans are on the dressy side of denim. <br /></div><div>I'm heading to New York with a friend in a few weeks, too, and I'm hoping my capsule is as well coordinated as yours!</div><div>Oh, and your hair looks gorgeous!<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-travel-capsule#post-2019984 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 02:22:39 +0000 rachylou 2019984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good your capsule. I LOVE the natural hair. Feel it gives your complexion a glow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-travel-capsule#post-2019976 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 02:13:12 +0000 taylor 2019976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair color with your eyes are a beautiful combination.<br /> I hope you will let us see photos of your sister too!</p> <p>You have really done well packing. The comfy shoes are a must for the city and anything else you may need will likely be in you sister closet ! How fun to have a sisters closet to raid !<br /> Packing is such a chore for me. We are headed out for 6 days as well, i have been packing for a week !<br /> Have a great time ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-travel-capsule#post-2019969 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 01:43:11 +0000 shiny 2019969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks like a fabulous capsule. Well done! My only caution is that it can be cooler in the city than you expect, with the tall buildings casting shade. And also spring winds, which are amplified with tall buildings (wind tunnel effect). What do you have for a coat over it all, something that breaks the wind?</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-travel-capsule#post-2019963 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 01:26:25 +0000 Jaime 2019963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh how fun! Please take twin selfies! Comfy shoes and a rain jacket will take you pretty much everywhere you are going. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-travel-capsule#post-2019904 Mon, 15 Apr 2019 19:26:11 +0000 Becky 2019904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you've planned well. Yes, you have a primarily neutral palette, but you can always add zing with your signature bangles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-travel-capsule#post-2019835 Mon, 15 Apr 2019 15:56:58 +0000 Mainelady 2019835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you CJH. I won’t need the CuddleDuds. For me, days in the 60s are a real treat. I have layers with camisoles, the tops/sweaters and toppers. Keep in mind that some of our walking will be inside famous malls. When out on the streets, I think we will be going into plenty of stores and other buildings, so won’t be outside for any extended period of time.</p> <p> Thank you Barbara Diane. Yes, I will be layering and unlessit is horribly windy, will be quite comfortable. The Rothys are like walking on clouds and a great in the rain! They are made from recycled plastic bottles and are machine washable. They take up very little space, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-travel-capsule#post-2019834 Mon, 15 Apr 2019 15:55:23 +0000 Barbara Diane 2019834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think between the leopard and the rubarb you have lots of pizazz.&nbsp;<br />Top, sweater, topper, all at once, I'm assuming? I probably wouldn't be warm enough, but you are used to colder temperatures than me. Are Rothy's warm enough and work in rain? I'm not familiar enough with them to know.<br />I love hearing about your twin trips and seeing your purchases. Have a great time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-travel-capsule#post-2019777 Mon, 15 Apr 2019 12:02:26 +0000 cjh 2019777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful selection! The yellow blouse is so pretty! I would say perfect all around except at those predicted temperatures, I’d need a much heavier jacket or layers. Maybe you’re taking along cuddleduds top to wear underneath? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutral-travel-capsule#post-2019770 Mon, 15 Apr 2019 11:33:42 +0000 Mainelady 2019770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Packing light is a challenge for me. Want to help?<br /> I will be going to visit my sister in NJ and together we will spend 4 days in NYC. While there we will be shopping (of course!), walking.....lots of walking, dining and attending 2 Broadway shows. The total time I will be away is 6 days. Comfort with minimum wrinkles is my goal. DTwin assures me that casual, even in the theater, is the norm.</p> <p> Jeans: denim cropped (with a darker stripe down the side), black skinnies and gray boyfriend jeans.<br /> Sweaters: Ivory and camel, both 3/4 sleeved<br /> Tops: white with black stripe, leopard, yellow floral pull over blouse<br /> Toppers: ivory sweater coat, rhubarb field jacket<br /> Shoes: black mesh sneakers, gray Birdseye print Rothys, leopard Rothys<br /> Scarves: leopard and blue with silvery gray<br /> What do you think? Do I have enough? Do I have too much? In the photo, things look kind of bland. I am hoping that the leopard, rhubarb and ivory will add interest. </p> <p>Things to consider: I am taking just a carry on bag. I will also have a collapsible tote for the return trip. If I make purchases that I am unable to pack, I will have those shipped home.<br /> DTwin sister has ample clothing and accessories I can borrow, so I will likely take a couple of her scarves. We do plan to travel light, as we will be taking a train into the city. We will share toppers and scarves. The forecast calls for temps between high 40s and mid 60s and showers.</p> <p>Oh, and for fun, here are recent pics of my transition to gray. I can’t wait to see DTwin to see how her transition is coming along. Will we look alike? Different? I know we will both be smiling!</p> <p>FYI on my “Do not let me go near” list this year is any shade of brown handbag or any fall winter toppers.</p> <p>Thank you for taking a peek and offering any suggestions. </p>
