You dress in a timeless and elegant style, you remind me of Jackie O. This is a very practical and versatile travel capsule. I like travelling with a scarf, just incase I need a slight layer that I can pop in my handbag if it gets too warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-post--current-enough/page/2#post-1959739 Wed, 26 Sep 2018 12:34:50 +0000 RobinF 1959739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great to see you! I think this is a great capsule and think that adding the leopard as you have talked about would be a good addition. I especially like the blousy tops and long sweaters. Nothing outdated in my eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-post--current-enough/page/2#post-1959727 Wed, 26 Sep 2018 11:32:04 +0000 carter 1959727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, SW Ann. I've missed being here.</p> <p>Thanks, Windchime. I am happy to bring out the brown again. I do love chocolate and cognac. I'm hoping to add to my brown collection this season. That's a red sweater, but I do have plenty of fuscia in my closet :-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-post--current-enough/page/2#post-1959638 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 23:27:48 +0000 Windchime 1959638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s nice to see you again, Carter! I always enjoyed your posts. </p> <p>It looks to me like your Cleveland capsule represents several current trends very well. Brown and the other earth colors you show look fantastic on you, and do I see some trending fuchsia? Good variety and it all looks comfortable. Good luck relaxing with the inlaws! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-post--current-enough/page/2#post-1959637 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 23:19:21 +0000 SW Ann 1959637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Hi!

I've had that sweater for 2 years. Seriously. I baby it because that color in a sleeveless knit has been impossible to find ever since. Maybe I'll get lucky this season.</p> <p>Thanks, Sally. I definitely need a break...just not sure visiting the in-laws in Cleveland counts ;-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-post--current-enough#post-1959616 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 21:16:00 +0000 Sal 1959616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely to see you Carter - you look really great.&nbsp; I agree all looks good here - nice jeans and footwear.&nbsp; Sounds like you might need a relaxing break so I hope you get one:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-post--current-enough#post-1959614 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 21:06:13 +0000 The Cat 1959614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>By the way, the colour of the brown top you are wearing in #2 and #3 is beautiful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-post--current-enough#post-1959613 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 20:54:16 +0000 The Cat 1959613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice colours.

I'm really hoping to have time and mental space to participate again. We're at a bit of calm in the storm at the moment, but in all likelihood, it will get tough again.</p> <p>Aquamarine, thanks for the weather update. I'm sure you and the others are right. I'm thinking I'll replace the tan sandals with either a pair of leopard flats or waterproof (aka, not leather) loafers.</p> <p>Lisap, you're so sweet. Thanks you.</p> <p>Thank you Jessikams and Rachylou.</p> <p>I missed you too, lyn67 :-). You still have the best skirt outfits ever.</p> <p>Thank you, Elizabeth. I did see that high rises were back, but I struggle with them so much because I am so short waisted. Last time high waisted fits were trending, I walked around looking like nothing but boobs and legs. I'm going to be one of those who maxes out at a mid-rise while enjoying the glam high rise on others.</p> <p>Torontogirl, it's so good to see you as well. I hope that your bubbling has been for positive reasons.</p> <p>Thank you, Greyscale! I am very happy to hear that mid-rises are still current. As I mentioned in my comment above, there is very little real estate between my hips and chest.</p> <p>Kkards, can I tell you how much I am looking forward to a bit of Fall weather! Thank you for the update. I will sub out the tan sandals for a pair of closed toe shoes. Now I'm off to see if you've posted a recent WIW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-post--current-enough#post-1959570 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 16:35:51 +0000 kkards 1959570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carter, great to see you again.</p> <p>YLF, and the travel capsule looks good, but you may want to add/substitute one of the pair of open toe shoes for a pair of closed toed. 1 live about 2 hours south of Cleveland and fall has definitely arrived.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-post--current-enough#post-1959564 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 16:14:38 +0000 Greyscale 1959564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back! Your outfits always look so put-together. All those jeans are very flattering on you and the overall effect is chic and current. You’re going to impress everyone on your trip.</p> <p>I was going to say the same as Elizabeth, that if you do feel like adding some new styles eventually, higher rise jeans are a trend at the moment. Mid rise are still very common in my trendy neighborhood, so no need to update unless you feel like something new. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-post--current-enough#post-1959518 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 13:35:36 +0000 Helena 1959518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>CARTER! *waves frantically* ... so happy to see you! You look absolutely casual-polished and perfect, as you always have. The color palette is very cohesive and the longer cardigan and slides look of-the-moment, but in a classic and classy way.</p> <p>I too have done some bubbling in the last couple of years - I hope that all is well and am selfishly hopeful that we'll see you more often on the forum. xx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-post--current-enough#post-1959517 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 13:35:10 +0000 Elizabeth P 1959517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Carter, so good to see you!&nbsp; I was thinking about you just the other day.</div><div><br /></div><div>I think that you have such a strong sense of your own style, that you will never look dated... you just look good.&nbsp; As Lisa says, stylish chic. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The only thing I'd say, if you are really concerned about "current" is that the rise on your jeans isn't high rise "current".&nbsp; But I also don't see it as "dated", just that you're not trendy.&nbsp; Not a bad thing :)</div><div><br /></div><div> <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-post--current-enough#post-1959503 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 13:10:37 +0000 lyn67 1959503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed you, Carter!:-) I liked all, you still have&nbsp; the greatest pants outfits:-) and nothing&nbsp; looks dated to me,&nbsp; mules with ankle pants&nbsp; were so in this year!

I’ve missed you ! I will reread and comment with something more coherent tomorrow , but I wanted you to know I miss that non-smiling Carter face I loved to see your outfits - you were the epitome of casual chic . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-post--current-enough#post-1959403 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 01:18:52 +0000 Aquamarine 1959403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice to see you post again, Carter. I think your outfits are definitely not dated. I’d bring some closed toe shoes, however. It’s starting to get chilly up here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-post--current-enough#post-1959400 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 01:13:17 +0000 carter 1959400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the insight, lisaflex. I was planning to just borrow a raincoat from my MIL, but maybe I should go ahead and bring my own. We arrive Thursday this week, so I'm hoping we'll get lucky.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks, Joyce! It's sounding like I should throw in a pair of loafers or ballet flats just in case. Maybe I'll add both my leopard belt and a pair of leopard flats so I can add one leopard item to several of the outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-post--current-enough#post-1959398 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 01:04:18 +0000 Joyce B 1959398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice to see you again, Carter!<br /> Your outfits look stylish like always. I agree about adding some leopard print. Also, although I love your shoes I think you may feel cold in them in 50-60 degree temps. The sun is at a different angle making those temps feel colder than they are.<br /> Have a nice trip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-post--current-enough#post-1959397 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 00:56:19 +0000 carter 1959397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Style Fan. For as simple as it is, it was quite frustrating after being out of practice for so long. Hoping for more practice soon :-)</p> <p>Thanks, Jussie. I agree about classic pieces having an extended lifespan. Some of them come and go a bit, but I'm so glad I've held onto many that I love. Speaking of handbags...I was just gifted a vintage Ralph Lauren handbag in mustard. It needs a bit of a clean-up, but I'm looking forward to using it this Fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-post--current-enough#post-1959383 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 23:53:33 +0000 jussie 1959383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look really current. I guess that’s the beauty of classic pieces! They don’t really date. You could always grab a trendy scarf or sneakers just to give a fashionista vibe... or even a handbag that’s a bit trendy, if you felt like an easy update. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-post--current-enough#post-1959373 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 23:17:54 +0000 Style Fan 1959373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to see you posting Carter.&nbsp; You look very polished to me.&nbsp; Your capsule seems very well put together for your trip.&nbsp; Long sweaters suit your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-post--current-enough#post-1959364 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 22:37:54 +0000 lisaflex 1959364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>im in east side suburb of cleve...when are you arriving? it is rain rain rain for a few days. then supposed to be in the 60's.&nbsp;</p> <p>most of cleveland is casual so you should be fine. i would def bring rain coat of some sort....one never knows. cleveland weather can change instantly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-post--current-enough#post-1959362 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 22:14:32 +0000 carter 1959362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much, Carla. I've been loving your white jean posts :-). I agree on the leopard. I think that's a great idea!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-post--current-enough#post-1959359 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 21:54:27 +0000 Carla 1959359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Classic casual dressing done well! I second the addition of some leopard and packing the slip on sneakers. </p> <p>Glad to see you posting. I've missed your style - which is aspirational to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-post--current-enough#post-1959356 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 21:44:11 +0000 carter 1959356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Katerina. Nice to meet you as well ;-). Glad you like #2. I was trying to work in my ancient brown sleeveless knit that I love.</p> <p>Cardiff girl, yes! I'm taking the slip on sneakers in picture #5, but I still had them on when I took the picture.</p> <p>Thanks, bj1111. Hanging in there is about all we can do when so much is out of our control. Appreciate the wise words.</p> <p>Thanks, karen13. I've long been a fan of long sweaters. The black one dates back 15 years ;-). So glad to see them popular again. One of these days I hope to be able to do a bit of shopping for long sweaters and some chocolate brown.</p> <p>Thank you, Liz. I'm taking a pair of black slip on sneaks that I forgot to take off for the picture. I can't imagine I'll need more coverage than that, but I can borrow something from my MIL if necessary.</p> <p>CC, great to hear from you! I do have some leopard in my closet! Belt, blouse, knit tee, pullover sweater, and ballet flats. I'll pick something to add. Great idea! Good thought on the rain. If we need to go out when it's raining, I'll wear my slip on sneakers and borrow a rain jacket from my MIL.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-post--current-enough#post-1959352 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 21:10:41 +0000 Classically Casual 1959352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So nice to see you post again, Carter! I seem to remember you have something in leopard print? If so, you may want to bring it along as a nod to a current trend. Then you’re all set.</p> <p>Last thought, what if it rains? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packing-post--current-enough#post-1959351 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 21:05:51 +0000 Liz 1959351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I think these outfits looks just fine -- nothing looks dated or as if you've been living in a bubble. You look like your polished, classy self. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I also run very hot, so I understand not wanting to dress warmly. However, in those temps I would be wanting my feet a little more covered. I'd probably add one more closed-toe shoe option, just in case. <br /></div> </p>
