Even heading north, I think July will be much better!</p> <p>Thanks to all of you who have confirmed my choices. I popped the Vetta sweatshirt over a linen dress yesterday just to see if it worked, and it was great. I'll be all set for cool mornings/evenings when this heatwave ends. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-packages-arrived/page/2#post-2203636 Sat, 19 Jun 2021 13:36:39 +0000 Anonymous 2203636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More love for the pieces you are keeping. &nbsp;I hope just the right piece comes along. &nbsp;I remember the beach in California being cold and very windy. &nbsp;You will need some protection from wind. &nbsp;The boat trip to Santa Catalina Island is also windy and can be cold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-packages-arrived/page/2#post-2203630 Sat, 19 Jun 2021 13:26:30 +0000 Helena 2203630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I actually love all three, but you have a great sense of your own style, so if 1 is a no go, then that's that.

Maybe. I'm keeping the Vetta sweatshirt, because I love it, returning the Palmer sweater, and &nbsp;keeping the "Kindfulness" tank.&nbsp;</p> <p>The color I like best from Tradlands is final sale, and I'm not willing to risk that. I found a sweatshirt I really like from Jamie + the Jones (see first Find), but with a turnaround time of 2-4 weeks, it wouldn't be guaranteed to arrive before we leave.&nbsp;</p> <p>I kind of wanted something new to pack for our first trip in a year and a half, but I know I can manage without.&nbsp;I think I'm just going to make do with what I have -- my puffer jacket (Find 3) and vest (not shown), a flannel (Find 4), and my UPF gear hoodie (Find 2). Some combination of the above should get me through most situations in reasonable comfort. It's not fresh or exciting (these pieces probably have&nbsp;<i>literally&nbsp;</i>a thousand wears between them), but it'll do.&nbsp;</p> <p>As <b>Sal</b> said, it's a matter of deciding when to stop. I still think that this "simple summer pullover" niche is a hole in my wardrobe that could be plugged, but it's something I can keep in mind for the future, when the right piece comes along.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-packages-arrived#post-2203398 Fri, 18 Jun 2021 14:57:36 +0000 Anonymous 2203398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please refrain my mentioning morning walks on the beach ever again.

Besides the neckline being totally different, it looks like they added a different color in the welt. With such a small company, let’s hope they read comments on customer returns and take them seriously.</p> <p>“Morning Beach walks in LA” are a regular thing in your life? I’m dying here. Somehow thought you were towards the mountains. Anyway, you love the sweater &amp; will use it sooner or later. Keep. </p> <p>Wool is miserable when it’s wet, but otherwise the sweater you have sounds ideal for the trip. If you did find just the thing for those couple weeks, what would its afterlife be? A good sweater /sweatshirt lasts much longer than 30 wears, but you won’t even have 30 days to wear it on your trip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-packages-arrived#post-2203292 Fri, 18 Jun 2021 03:20:35 +0000 Bijou 2203292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firecracker has said it perfectly. The last two are complete winners with my favourite being the split back t-shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-packages-arrived#post-2203289 Fri, 18 Jun 2021 02:29:14 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2203289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I see what you mean about the first one. Next!</div><div>The other two pieces are keepers in my book. While the pullover may not be right for this trip. you look great in it, and it seems you'll wear it back at home. Also the split back top is super cool. I like the back view--very flattering.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-packages-arrived#post-2203288 Fri, 18 Jun 2021 02:05:09 +0000 Carla 2203288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep the black batwing top *<i>enabling</i>*. It looks like it would blend in seamlessly with your closet. &nbsp;I’d love to see it styled with your skirts,but it looks pretty fab with your jeans as is. </p>
