I think these are the ones I'm keeping..It's a little crazy to take brand new shoes on a trip, so I've bought my first ever tube of Body Glide. Thanks, YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-for-the-weekend#post-1837099 Thu, 17 Aug 2017 12:20:27 +0000 rachylou 1837099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been looking at the historical data at timeanddate.com... no annular listed for the last 30 years... no description similar to what it was like... maybe I have my location wrong and I wasn't in the States...</p> <p>Or maybe it was officially partial, but so much was covered it was 'spectacular' (as described on time and date). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-for-the-weekend#post-1837078 Thu, 17 Aug 2017 10:49:32 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1837078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Bernard! I hope he likes it.</p> <p>Rachylou, was it an annular eclipse, the kind where the moon is directly beteeen earth and sun, but you still see a ring around the sun? I bet you could find out when and where last annular eclipses were at the link for the map in the eclipse challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-for-the-weekend#post-1836907 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 18:51:05 +0000 Anonymous 1836907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice outfits for your trip I hope he will have the pleasure of wearing his shirt for your birthday. I like to see you on the picture 3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-for-the-weekend#post-1836898 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 18:41:34 +0000 rachylou 1836898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice colours! Well coordinated! Love the skirt, love that jacket and cardigan.</p> <p>Work passed out eclipse sunglasses. I got the last pair. I learned we'll be seeing an 80% eclipse. That's worth coming out for. I wonder if my dog will care... lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-for-the-weekend#post-1836870 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 17:38:33 +0000 Anonymous 1836870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful outfits and packing. I like that patterned jacket and the shark shirt. Don't forget sun hats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-for-the-weekend#post-1836860 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 17:22:38 +0000 Angie 1836860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OOOh. Nice jacket.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-for-the-weekend#post-1836851 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 17:03:56 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1836851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Elisabeth P</b>, good point for on the river! I'll ask him after school if he wants to take a sports shirt or pick up a rash guard on the Target run. </p> <p>I've also added a sweatshirt for him, along with the jacket for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-for-the-weekend#post-1836849 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 16:54:04 +0000 Elizabeth P 1836849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just one suggestion...the shark shirt is for rafting?&nbsp; It looks cotton.&nbsp; If so, this is not a good idea, it will get wet, then quite chilly with the wind and constant exposure to cold water, esp for 8 hours.&nbsp; I highly recommend wearing quick dry fabric, or a sun shirt, for this. </p> <p>Otherwise, great capsule, and I hope you have a great weekend! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-for-the-weekend#post-1836832 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 15:27:30 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1836832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie</b>, great idea! I've been waiting for a chance to wear this jacket, nearly let it slip away from me. </p> <p><b>LeDonna</b>, you are the queen (already) of coordinating outfits with offspring. Yes, there will be a full eclipse where we will be. Haven't decided yet if we'll go to an event or try to find an open /mountaintop place where we can see it on our own. </p> <p><b>Sara,</b> thanks for your good wishes. </p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-for-the-weekend#post-1836826 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 15:11:13 +0000 Ledonna N. 1836826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You and your love interest willakr a smashing pair. I really like picture #4. Will you be viewiewing thw solar eclipse? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-for-the-weekend#post-1836824 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 14:54:27 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1836824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen, we'll be right at the N Carolina, S Carolina, Georgia, Tenn. borders.</p> <p>I have a friend from DC who's going to the same area as you. She was going crazy looking for a rental car, was ready to rent a pickup or utility van from U-Haul or Lowe's. I suggested zipcar, but then the relatives they're visiting came up with a car she can borrow. </p> <p>I hope you recognized that they're my clothes in a good way Yes, the shark shirt is for my son to wear rafting, not for the skirt, lol.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-for-the-weekend#post-1836819 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 14:52:43 +0000 Sara L. 1836819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a fun weekend! &nbsp;I think your choices are well thought out and should work well for the activities you have planned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-for-the-weekend#post-1836816 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 14:50:23 +0000 Angie 1836816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful, and fun to see your son's clothing in the mix too.&nbsp;</p> <p>#2 is fab. A denim jacket would be nice as the topper, but the paisley cardi is lovely too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Have a good trip and safe travels.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-for-the-weekend#post-1836810 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 14:39:48 +0000 JAileen 1836810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought all of those were your clothes, and I immediately saw the shark tee. I love it. It's your son's, isn't it? i really like your starry top. Where are you going? We're going to Idaho, and so far the forecast is sunny and hot. I'm planning on wearing what I would wear here for that weather - shorts, sleeveless top or a tee, sandals or sneakers, a hat, and sunscreen. We're driving because while there were flights, there were no rental cars. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-for-the-weekend#post-1836805 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 14:07:38 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1836805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't stop thinking about it, might as well DIN. I plan to take one carry-on for both of us. I've included both our outfits here, because we will be such a smashing, matching pair. I never did the matching thing with a romantic partner, but with my son? Ask Hannah Andersson.</p> <p>Day 1: flight and bumbling through artsy mountain town:<br /> Me: big white linen boho skirt and either the purple or blue top with either the paisley shirt or the birthday sweater (thanks, Mom &amp; Dad!) on top.<br /> Him: Favorite Lands End cargo shorts and a linen shirt. He will hate putting the shirt on, but will do it for my birthday, and then will feel very comfortable in it. </p> <p>Day 2: 7-8 hours river rafting<br /> Me: swim suit, but because the bottoms slip if I swim hard, board shorts. Patagonia sundress for after. To cover up from sun, either the blue wrap or an old short-sleeved black silk button front shirt that is really too big now.<br /> Him: swim suit &amp; shark tank, easy.  Added: white quick-drying shirt.<br /> Both: "fabulous" (not really; that's ironic) footwear (obsessing over this, sunblock, etc is why I decided to just get packing). Mine are water shoes. His Chucks have been doused with mango lassi  (my fault!) and are getting shabby. </p> <p>Day 3: the eclipse!<br /> Me: starry tank top, black &amp; midnight blue cotton cardi, either joggers or shorts (have to wash them, eek!), according to weather. I don't have anything like the amazing jewelry some people have mentioned in the eclipse post.<br /> Him: solar system T, repeat shorts from day 1. </p> <p>What do you think?</p> <p>ETA: I've added the jacket and sweatshirt in these finds, and a non-cotton, quick-drying shirt for him to wear on the river, thanks to Angie and Elisabeth P.</p> <p>I've also slipped in some slippers and Body Glide, because I'll be wearing new shoes (in finds), and a pair of shorts for him, so he doesn't only have the ones he leaves the house in &amp; a swimsuit.  </p>
