And even tho our sleeping bags are rated to 25 F, my method was to put my bag inside Lilypup’s and unzip the bottom. Lilypup slipped inside at the feet, between the sleeping bags. Lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/road-trip-report#post-1961677 Fri, 05 Oct 2018 11:50:24 +0000 Brooklyn 1961677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun! I want a camping dress too.<br /> But I don’t want to go camping.<br /> Unless I can take my dog! You’ve heard the expression “three dog night”? Sounds like you had some. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/road-trip-report#post-1961589 Fri, 05 Oct 2018 02:13:06 +0000 annagybe 1961589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed this! but great trip.&nbsp; </p> <p>ETA My father and I camped in Yellowstone in the winter, back in the 80's when we lived in Montana. I had a sleeping bag in a sleeping bag. Dad has some crazy expedition weight one that was a second from REI, they ran out of fabric and it two colors in lining.</p> <p>Good thing about off season, you see more animals</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/road-trip-report#post-1960390 Sat, 29 Sep 2018 06:22:31 +0000 krishnidoux 1960390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dog, best accessory!<br />The dress is absolutely lovely and completely appropriate for the occasions you mention. It's not crazy to take quality gear and clothes with us while camping. Heck, 200$ is the price for most Lululemon sporty toppers here in Canada, so... no, it fits you so well, enjoy it, wear it till its death. Sorry about the other dress's pocket though. This is exactly the sort of thing to happen when we come back from a long trip and are a bit tired. I hope you can find a tailor who can make it as new again for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/road-trip-report#post-1960376 Sat, 29 Sep 2018 03:42:45 +0000 rachylou 1960376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...I was going to say it’s probably a little weird to wear a dress camping, but cooler than jeans and more protective than shorts for me.</p> <p>Also, I have to mention this is a $200+ dollar dress. I’ve been wearing it to the bakery and now I’ve taken it camping. I don’t know how stupid that is, but it’s a good dress for both. I guess I’ll find out how lon it can last... this wasn’t the dress I ripped, btw. I ripped the tan plaid one... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/road-trip-report#post-1960364 Sat, 29 Sep 2018 03:15:39 +0000 cindysmith 1960364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great trip! And you look adorable </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/road-trip-report#post-1960287 Fri, 28 Sep 2018 20:36:02 +0000 Katerina 1960287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy, how fun to hear about the trip! Sounds like a wonderful time. Your camping dress is awesome, I hope it can be fixed nicely. I love the jeans on you - super cool!<br /> Great to see Lilipup, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/road-trip-report#post-1960267 Fri, 28 Sep 2018 17:33:35 +0000 rachylou 1960267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m so self-centered, JAileen! How could I forget Lilypup has a puffy and this was her one chance to wear it?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/road-trip-report#post-1960265 Fri, 28 Sep 2018 17:16:29 +0000 JAileen 1960265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You packed perfectly, for you, anyway. And your dog looked like she had a wonderful time, even without a puffy. Our Jack Russell has a puffy, too. It’s never been too cold for our Scottie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/road-trip-report#post-1960260 Fri, 28 Sep 2018 16:49:17 +0000 rachylou 1960260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, yes! I actually wore jeans. That was the second reason I took the slightly impractical overalls... the straps are a pain, but the getup bypasses the waist. Denim is so stiff, always cuts me in the waist and messes with my digestive system.</p> <p>My uncle doesn’t know the antlers are shed. He was horrified at all the animals that had to be shot. He just doesn’t have the conservative/preppy thing down quite, tho he thinks he’s both. Doesn’t ride horses either or have any furniture gnawed on by dogs! Hehe. We don’t know how he ever was in Yellowstone in the first place. It certainly isn’t possible he camped! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/road-trip-report#post-1960235 Fri, 28 Sep 2018 15:17:01 +0000 Barbara Diane 1960235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow great dress, how much fun, I love the antlers, nice to see lillypup’s face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/road-trip-report#post-1960231 Fri, 28 Sep 2018 15:12:49 +0000 Sara L. 1960231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a fun trip!&nbsp; I want a camping dress now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/road-trip-report#post-1960224 Fri, 28 Sep 2018 14:56:04 +0000 karen13 1960224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You and your mom ARE TOUGH! And that dress is awesome; I hope you can fix it. Sound like a fab trip. DH got home last night from his 3 weeks in the geyser basin of YNP. He said it was downright cold the week.</p> <p>Poor puffy-less Lilypup. Poor puffy-less you! I may make my college freshman daughter read this so she understands that a point comes in life where daughters give their moms their jackets. We are still at the other way around part of life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/road-trip-report#post-1960201 Fri, 28 Sep 2018 13:45:57 +0000 Angie 1960201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Casual Camping Chic :)</p> <p>You did well Rachy, and so did Lilypup. I hope she was warn enough too. </p> <p>You’re wearing jeans! </p> <p>Loved Jackson Hole. Good thing they mention that those antlers are shed naturally every year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/road-trip-report#post-1960199 Fri, 28 Sep 2018 13:38:35 +0000 LaPed 1960199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pics. Love, love, love that floral dress! Makes me nostalgic for a skirt I had as a kid -- same color, similar floral. I don't think I ever took mine camping.&nbsp;</p> <p>It never ceases to take me by surprise how much colder it gets as soon as you start gaining elevation. They do make sleeping bags/down quilts that you can convert into a sort of poncho-type thing... You need some puffy down booties to wear around camp, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/road-trip-report#post-1960184 Fri, 28 Sep 2018 12:09:06 +0000 RobinF 1960184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a great trip! We used to camp a lot but I never would have brought a dress! Looks cute though. It sure is hard to pack for that range of temps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/road-trip-report#post-1960177 Fri, 28 Sep 2018 11:12:50 +0000 kkards 1960177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL...my very 1st camping experience, back when i was 8 or 9, was so cold and rainy, i ended up wearing everything i had packed for the weekend, layered one item on top of the other! thank goodness we didnt &nbsp;have camera with us all the time back then, becuase i also remember ashes from the fire in my hair....<br />anyway, sounds like a great trip...and i &nbsp;hope camping dress can be repaired! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/road-trip-report#post-1960148 Fri, 28 Sep 2018 08:04:04 +0000 Cardiff girl 1960148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow sounds like an epic trip.l think that there is a market for sleeping bags that you can wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/road-trip-report#post-1960146 Fri, 28 Sep 2018 07:58:49 +0000 Mirjana 1960146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely camping dress and good trip it seems. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/road-trip-report#post-1960143 Fri, 28 Sep 2018 07:01:40 +0000 rachylou 1960143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We think we’re pioneer women! Lol.</p> <p>But ohmigosh, there WERE mosquitoes.</p> <p>I have just remembered: I did have one HUGE packing fail. I failed to pack Lilypup’s puffy. Of course she has one. Of course she hates wearing clothes. Of course I didn’t think about it all.</p> <p>She wore her sleeping bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/road-trip-report#post-1960136 Fri, 28 Sep 2018 06:08:14 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1960136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>You're a real woman of the woods in that camping dress--as long as there aren't mosquitos Lol at the image of the jacket under the coveralls. <br /></div><div>"Gave Puffy to Mum" What a good kid you are! Great that your mom still can (and will) go camping. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/road-trip-report#post-1960131 Fri, 28 Sep 2018 05:59:00 +0000 Jane 1960131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahh, Lilypup is beautiful! Love the dress. Oh my on the bears in 1962. Great packing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/road-trip-report#post-1960125 Fri, 28 Sep 2018 04:47:24 +0000 rachylou 1960125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No bears! My mother practically wouldn’t let us eat because in 1962 a grizzly tore down her and my dad’s tent, attracted by steak and onions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/road-trip-report#post-1960121 Fri, 28 Sep 2018 04:30:25 +0000 Anonymous 1960121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the sundress. Those colors look great on you. Any bears in your campground? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/road-trip-report#post-1960091 Fri, 28 Sep 2018 01:16:29 +0000 Jaime 1960091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing. Glad you managed to warm up your glucometer and keys to tell the tale. If Lilypup could speak, what a tale (tail?) she would tell. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/road-trip-report#post-1960089 Fri, 28 Sep 2018 01:11:05 +0000 rachylou 1960089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Road Trip Report: I think I packed pretty right.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>Re-cap scenario: 10-day, car-camping roadtrip across five states, culminating in Yellowstone. Temps ranging from 20s to 90s. Weather included rain and ice pellets (!!). It got so cold in Yellowstone that my cell, glucometer and car keys wouldn't work. My glucometer in fact TOLD me it was too cold. Gave Puffy to Mum and wore a sleeping bag.</div><div><br /> </div><div>This is what I took:</div><div><br /> </div><div><br /> -2 sundresses, tan with light grey plaid, light grey floral<br /> -1 denim overalls, blue<br /> -1 cotton skirt, light grey floral<br /> -1 bracelet sleeve tee, dark grey<br /> -1 short sleeve tee, charcoal grey<br /> -10 socks (3 wool socks, 7 footie socks)<br /> -1 sneakers, grey<br /> -1 Crocs, Brown<br /> -1 thermal shirt black<br /> -1 fleece leggings dark brown<br /> -1 cotton leggings, dusty pink<br /> -1 linen topper<br /> -1 jacket<br /> -1 long Puffy black<br /> -balaclava black<br /> -gloves<br /> -sun hat (in pic)<br /> -grey kerchief</p> <p></div><div><br /> </div><div> There was a moment where I thought the short sleeve tee would turn out unnecessary, but I wore it and everything in the end with the exception of the footie socks. I had maybe 4 pair extra. But y'all know me, no such things as too many socks!<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>There was also a moment when I couldn't button up the tan plaid dress, my all-time camping dress. That was at night, putting it on in my tent. But it buttoned up in the morning, go figure. Tragedy tho, the first thing I did when I got home was get a pocket caught on a doorknob and ripped it. I'm hoping I can repair the pocket.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>The overalls were maybe not the most practical, except they have a lot of pockets. And they did look a bit funny with me wearing all my thermals and jacket UNDER them. Lol. But at some point it seemed easier.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div><br /> Will post some scenic photos in Off Topic. Ok.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>Pics: 1) "camping" dress, 2) us in front of one of Jackson's antler gates, 3) us at the Continental Divide, 4) Lilypup at the Grand Canyon of the Yelllowstone - looking at the camera for once!<br /> </div> </p>
