I had a great time so far, it's good to have someone who knows the city with you. We've explored my friend's neighbourhood yesterday and did some sightseeing today, also some art. The weather is fantastic so far and we did walk a lot, although we plan to take the bike tomorrow.</p> <p>@Krista<br /> We saw the surfers, my friend's neighbour actually surfs there too and he says it's an honour if you get asked if you want to do it, they don't let just anyone try. </p> <p>@Claire<br /> We haven't planned any shopping, but I'll try to keep it in mind.</p> <p>@Beth Ann<br /> I do that too with my fleece, very practical. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practical-but-uninspired-travel-capsule---thoughts/page/2#post-1036282 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 18:49:16 +0000 cheryl 1036282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think its a great capsule.

I love the deer shirt, so cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practical-but-uninspired-travel-capsule---thoughts/page/2#post-1036094 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 11:32:56 +0000 dakotacheryl 1036094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Munich...so many beautiful sites and a great walking city. Your comfy shoes are perfect, and if it's drizzly, you'll appreciate having a dry pair to change into. LOVE the dear Tshirt !! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practical-but-uninspired-travel-capsule---thoughts/page/2#post-1035975 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 02:04:47 +0000 Beth Ann 1035975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope you're having a marvelous trip!</p> <p>Love the colors, and the rich simplicity of the bag is fab.&nbsp; </p> <p>BTW --- I like a fleece to use as an impromptu pillow when I'm sleeping in a car or on a train. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practical-but-uninspired-travel-capsule---thoughts/page/2#post-1035851 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 21:36:04 +0000 rachylou 1035851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks good to me. The turquoise ring sounds like a nice touch of brightness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practical-but-uninspired-travel-capsule---thoughts/page/2#post-1035693 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 16:29:37 +0000 Anonymous 1035693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How wonderful that everything goes together so well! I'm in love with that navy Breton top and the burgundy paisley scarf! You're right, a fisherman cardigan or something like that would be the perfect addition to this. Is there good shopping in Munich? Maybe you can bring one home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practical-but-uninspired-travel-capsule---thoughts/page/2#post-1035657 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 15:56:09 +0000 Day Vies 1035657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think this is boring at all! You chose more prints than I normally do. </p> <p>I actually think you could leave off the green scarf and wear that gorgeous teal and burgundy scarf with everything. It contrasts beautifully with the blues and greens of this travel capsule and bookends the shoes perfectly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practical-but-uninspired-travel-capsule---thoughts#post-1035520 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 12:10:00 +0000 Krista 1035520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Borrowing a top just in case is an equally great option! I see how the extra stuff would have been too much to carry. </p> <p>I was not fancy enough for Munich either! ;). Hopefully you will get to the Marienplatz to see the Glockenspiel and the Englischer Garten is beautiful for walking around. There are some very handsome men surfing in the Isar River in the Englischer Garten - I'm just saying! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practical-but-uninspired-travel-capsule---thoughts#post-1035481 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 07:35:43 +0000 Scarlet 1035481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have fun! My friend is flying into Munich this weekend! We will meet up next week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practical-but-uninspired-travel-capsule---thoughts#post-1035419 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 04:51:09 +0000 Astrid 1035419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! I'm sitting at breakfast right now, wearing the first outfit, I actually think the turqouise ring and the pendant necklace are perfect for it. I really like it with the shirt, I have to remember that combo.</p> <p>Krista, I haven't been to Munich before, so I'm really looking forward to it. My friend moved there because of her studies, so I'm now having someone to visit. I'm not sure there's room in the bag for tights, skirt and oxfords. Especially because I'd need to pack a different jacket too, this one doesn't work with skirts. I think I'm just going to ask my friend to borrow a dressier top in case we decide to dress up, but I don't think it will be necessary. I'm not fancy enough for Munich in any case, being used to Berlin style. ;)</p> <p>Adelfa, temperatures seem to be similar to Berlin at the moment, so I think I have a feel for it. But I agree, it wasn't nice fall weather recently. Just hope there won't be more rain the next few days just as promised. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practical-but-uninspired-travel-capsule---thoughts#post-1035405 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 03:55:15 +0000 Adelfa 1035405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>p.s. DD is in Munich right now, believe it or not, and she is cold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practical-but-uninspired-travel-capsule---thoughts#post-1035404 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 03:54:30 +0000 Adelfa 1035404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is adorable! From your description I was expecting a bunch of solid black stuff, and I was going to advise you to add one patterned piece! &nbsp;But you've got pattern covered, plus you have harmonizing colors, plus adorable shoes, and a nice bag that isn't black. You did great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practical-but-uninspired-travel-capsule---thoughts#post-1035363 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 01:54:52 +0000 kellygirl 1035363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great capsule, Astrid! The printed tops are far from boring. Love the sassy sneaks too. I think you are going to look very stylish! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practical-but-uninspired-travel-capsule---thoughts#post-1035305 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 01:00:49 +0000 Krista 1035305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely capsule, Astrid! I like it and I think it's great for walking around Munich. We were in Munich this summer and its such an amazing city - I would move there, from Canada, in a second!!! If you feel the capsule is too casual, what about packing one extra outfit just in case you feel the need to be dressier? Like a skirt with tights and your oxfords? I agree that Munich is not the most casual city, so to have an extra piece or two that is dressy might not take up too much extra room in your bag, but would definitely help you to feel prepared in case you guys decided on something fancy and fun at the last minute. Have fun - I am so jealous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practical-but-uninspired-travel-capsule---thoughts#post-1035220 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 23:03:47 +0000 Sara L. 1035220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it's boring at all. &nbsp;I wish I was this good at packing cute, casual outfits. &nbsp;The burgundy sneakers are super cute! &nbsp;I think the scarves and accessories you've planned keep these from feeling boring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practical-but-uninspired-travel-capsule---thoughts#post-1035191 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 22:39:49 +0000 christina 1035191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you have come up with a great capsule! I noticed that you have two striped t-shirts and two pairs of pants that are very similar. Perhaps you might consider changing one of the stripes to another style? This might give you an entirely different look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practical-but-uninspired-travel-capsule---thoughts#post-1035153 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 22:13:16 +0000 Suz 1035153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks perfect for your weekend, and I hope you have a great time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practical-but-uninspired-travel-capsule---thoughts#post-1035135 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 21:55:24 +0000 Carole 1035135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done, Astrid.

It was just the right amount of stuff with the sneakers and the fleece added, it's all in the bag now. I don't think I'll need the second pair of shoes, but you never know. It's probably better to have them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practical-but-uninspired-travel-capsule---thoughts#post-1035014 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 18:56:28 +0000 texstyle 1035014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think with the additions you made you should be all set Astrid. Have a wonderful time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practical-but-uninspired-travel-capsule---thoughts#post-1035007 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 18:50:43 +0000 Astrid 1035007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I think I'll go with this for jewelry. As big as I can do, I don't really own statement jewelry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practical-but-uninspired-travel-capsule---thoughts#post-1034998 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 18:44:34 +0000 Astrid 1034998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Ornella! I'm going to take my fleece jacket, I think I'll be alright with that. The weather should be comparable to our weather here and it's supposed to get a smidge warmer and rain less. But you're right of course, freezing takes all the fun out of it. I really need to buy a good fall coat! I'll keep an eye out for you too, although my friend doesn't know about YLF so that would be fun to explain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practical-but-uninspired-travel-capsule---thoughts#post-1034995 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 18:40:31 +0000 Ornella 1034995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, I think this is nowhere near boring.&nbsp;It looks like with some layering you might sort out the temperature issue&nbsp;- I was in Munich last weekend (I might go this one too, I'll look for you on the streets ) and had to&nbsp;layer a lot. The forecasts are similar both weekends. Plus, drizzling rain makes it a bit uncomfortable, but I could sort that with wearing a hat. The weather should be getting warmer, but for me personally freezing can really ruin things as I can't relax when I'm cold,&nbsp;so I like to be prepared. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practical-but-uninspired-travel-capsule---thoughts#post-1034994 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 18:39:42 +0000 Astrid 1034994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Glory. Those are two pairs of pants (although they look similar), a pair of corduroy straight legs and some jeans. I wouldn't take only one pair either. Only one pairs of shoes, yes. I don't have much shoes in general, the oxfords are only comfortable with tights so far because they aren't broken in yet and my winter boots would be too warm. I have a second pair of sneakers I could take, the ones below. All my brighter scarves are thin summer ones, so that wouldn't work.&nbsp; </p> <p>ETA I'm going to pack my fleece jacket just in case.</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/practical-but-uninspired-travel-capsule---thoughts#post-1034976 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 18:28:49 +0000 Glory 1034976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks fantastic but the mom in me is asking what if your single pair of pants gets dirty or wet? I would consider a spare. Also are you taking one pair of shoes? You could add a bright scarf - that would punch it up? </p>
