I love your MVP. I am a light packer for air travel (usually carryon only), but I admit bring everything when I travel by car.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packed-to-go-on-vacation#post-1877095 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 00:18:54 +0000 Brooklyn 1877095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey Sally! Sounds (and looks) like you had a lot of fun. I am glad the capsule worked out. Your hair is looking really good!. Welcome back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packed-to-go-on-vacation#post-1877022 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 20:28:45 +0000 Sal 1877022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Toban, Fashintern, Sterling,</p> <p>Anne- yes it was warm the first week and while I wore my trusty pink UnderArmour Hoodie (my best buy ever - I wear it twice or so every week, it was added in 2012 and it still looks great - cost me $100 as I had a $50 voucher and I felt it was really expensive) I didn't need jackets in the evening at all.&nbsp; When in Auckland it was wet three days but warm except for two days at the athletics when I had to wear my club jacket.&nbsp; I could have reduced a little though - when you are washing clothes every second day I didn't need at least one tee, one sports tank, nor six warmer options.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Jenni - the triathlon was at Pauanui beach.&nbsp; Jon as an individual beat our team mostly due to the bike ride (he is a great cyclist/runner and he was on a racing bike - I was on a mountain bike).&nbsp; My youngest son beat him out of the water in the 400m&nbsp; &nbsp;swim though so he was delighted.&nbsp; The swim was deceptively rough though - I was scared for him but he loved it.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packed-to-go-on-vacation#post-1876804 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 12:01:29 +0000 Toban 1876804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that you did a triathlon as a family! Not surprised the striped dress was MVP - it looks fabulous on you and perfect for a summer holiday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packed-to-go-on-vacation#post-1876802 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 11:56:39 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1876802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure how I missed this the first time around. I would’ve said you were packed for my kind of trip. </p> <p>Actually though, you outdid me with the family triathalon. What a cool thing to do together! Thanks for the photos of you all, with happy faces. I think I’ve seen that dress before. It’s great. </p> <p>As for overpacking, I’m with Anne—being prepared for weather that didn’t happen is not something you can control, and far better than being chilly and miserable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packed-to-go-on-vacation#post-1876791 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 10:04:28 +0000 Anonymous 1876791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it when people come back around and tell us how everything worked out. &nbsp;Valuable information. &nbsp;</p> <p>I'l be back this evening to read more carefully.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packed-to-go-on-vacation#post-1876786 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 09:22:18 +0000 Jenni NZ 1876786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job! Gorgeous family photo. Where was the triathlon held? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packed-to-go-on-vacation#post-1876782 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 08:59:45 +0000 anne 1876782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firstly, well done on the triathlon. How cool to do it as a family!</p> <p>Secondly, would it be correct to assume from the less- worn items that you had warmer weather and didn't have to pull out the jackets etc?&nbsp; If so, you can't really help that - it wouldn't be pleasant to be without them if you did need it.</p> <p>Love the striped dress, no wonder it is a MVP, perfect for casual summer wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packed-to-go-on-vacation#post-1876781 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 08:48:50 +0000 Sal 1876781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And I did wear some of the jewelry- mostly the hoop earrings and the black leather cuff.</p> <p>Overall I am pretty happy although I could have packed a bit lighter- hard in our very erratic weather!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packed-to-go-on-vacation#post-1876780 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 08:46:01 +0000 Sal 1876780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Back from vacation today. Just a quick report on the wardrobe. There were a few unworn item- yellow floral tee, green jacket, white jacket, navy sweater, one black tank (gear). My most worn were the swimsuit, bikini, running shoes, floral dress and striped dress. I washed and rewore most of the gear, the floral shorts, the tees. I should have taken my rain coat and more underwear but since I planned to do<br /> laundry it was not a drama. We did attend a New Years party where I wore my maxi skirt and the coral tank, and had dinner out in a stunning Japanese restaurant where I wore the same tank, jeans and my kimono jacket ( which sounds wrong but it was not costume like). It was very wet a few days and very hot on others.</p> <p>Not a lot of photos but here are a couple.</p> <p>1 Mountain bike ride.<br /> 2 Beach prior to Triathlon.<br /> 3 Family prior to Triathlon- Jon did whole event, youngest son swam, I cycled and elder son ran in our team. Lots of fun!!<br /> 4 Out for cocktails on New Years Day.<br /> 5 MVP. - worn three days.</p> <p>My shoes worked out brilliantly although ideally I wanted heels one night for the meal out. </p> <p>I have been doing some forum reading but not much commenting.</p> <p>Happy New Year all:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packed-to-go-on-vacation#post-1872861 Fri, 29 Dec 2017 21:27:44 +0000 Cee 1872861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All boxes ticked </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packed-to-go-on-vacation#post-1872751 Fri, 29 Dec 2017 15:08:13 +0000 Anonymous 1872751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great summer vacation capsule. &nbsp;The colors look so pretty. &nbsp;</p> <p>Safe travels to you and your family.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packed-to-go-on-vacation#post-1872749 Fri, 29 Dec 2017 15:04:18 +0000 Anonymous 1872749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good.
