I'll continue to take outfit pictures as I go along on days when I can. Although I expect there will be a lot of repeats!&nbsp;</p> <p>Merwoman -- I decided to buy the suit here because I knew there'd be more variety in the stores here than at home. I ended up with a Speedo fitness suit. I don't do laps as my main exercise, but I do want a suit I can trust in the water and that will allow me to move. I'll try to snap a picture. Because -- oh yes -- there IS a hot tub!!! &nbsp;:)&nbsp;</p> <p>The pool is gorgeous. Mountain views, I kid you not.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pack-whats-in-the-bag#post-1244119 Wed, 07 May 2014 01:39:27 +0000 Jaime 1244119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The snow is stunning in every sense and so are you Suz. Great planning and you look fantastic in every outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pack-whats-in-the-bag#post-1244107 Wed, 07 May 2014 01:31:16 +0000 Anonymous 1244107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful packing job! I'd been wondering about how so few shoes would work too, but it sounds like it makes sense for you.</p> <p>The scenery looks beautiful, but I can't believe you still have to deal with snow in <i>May</i>. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pack-whats-in-the-bag#post-1244086 Wed, 07 May 2014 01:15:36 +0000 merwoman 1244086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic travel capsule. Just an incredible variety of clothing that can be combined in so many ways - and for such diverse events.&nbsp; Have to admit I am curious about the swimsuit purchase - was this purely functional so you could take advantage of the pool? I'm picturing a lovely indoor pool with a gorgeous view of the mountains...and maybe a hot tub. Oh yes, definitely a hot tub! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pack-whats-in-the-bag#post-1244076 Wed, 07 May 2014 01:04:26 +0000 Caro in Oz 1244076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great packing &amp; YLF in the photos Suz!! I, for one, haven't seen snow for years </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pack-whats-in-the-bag#post-1244045 Wed, 07 May 2014 00:42:07 +0000 Aida 1244045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous scenery regardless of what time of year! Though I did chuckle (and then feel bad hehe) to see the beautiful sunny hiking photo ... followed by lowland snow. Your packing is stellar, especially considering the&nbsp;wide range of activities it needs to accommodate. Thanks for sharing the list, plus how they're all working in action! There is far more viable overlap than I would expect, which is something I've been trying to sort out for myself in terms of very casual dress, so thank you for giving me some good concrete examples to think on. The item dispersion looks great too, though I think for myself I'd pack way more jewelry (I also wear more than you do, I think). I just adore the combo in 5; I know the dress is jersey, but something about a dressy dress with a cashmere hoodie just seems so very perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pack-whats-in-the-bag#post-1243992 Tue, 06 May 2014 23:59:37 +0000 Peri 1243992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have fun!! What a great thing to get to do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pack-whats-in-the-bag#post-1243989 Tue, 06 May 2014 23:54:55 +0000 Parsley 1243989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great packing- I'm so impressed! You look as stylishly casual as can be.<br />But oh my gosh, who would have thought you'd have such wintry weather! Well, I imagine the stores around there carry nice warm sweaters, if you're desperate.<br />Have a great time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pack-whats-in-the-bag#post-1243984 Tue, 06 May 2014 23:48:27 +0000 Karie 1243984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW - that scenery is gorgeous! Even though you've got snow and cooler temps, it's just too pretty not to be in awe of it. Being away for over a month must be extremely difficult to pack for, but you've done a fantastic job - looks like you'll have lots to mix and match.&nbsp;</p> <p>I always find it difficult to pack for trips&nbsp;during the spring and fall seasons, as I can never seem to get dressing for the temperatures right. It looks like you did extremely well at&nbsp;this!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pack-whats-in-the-bag#post-1243975 Tue, 06 May 2014 23:38:10 +0000 Angie 1243975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Princess Carry-On, you did a stellar job. Good thing you can wash your stuff, and didn't need to pack 35 pairs of knickers. I hope you're warm enough - <i>I can't believe it's still snowy.&nbsp;<br /></i><br />You are casually chic and radiant. xo</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pack-whats-in-the-bag#post-1243960 Tue, 06 May 2014 23:23:22 +0000 jackiec 1243960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wonderfully helpful packing list! I need to re-read and take notes. You look so stylish in all your shots. Wow! And the scenery is just gorgeous. Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pack-whats-in-the-bag#post-1243917 Tue, 06 May 2014 22:42:21 +0000 deb 1243917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You got a lot in those two small bags. I am impressed! Love your outfit creations and the scenery is beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pack-whats-in-the-bag#post-1243912 Tue, 06 May 2014 22:34:05 +0000 Suz 1243912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carter -- it looks as is McKinley may be a European company -- maybe you can find the jacket on your travels, LOL! Mine is called the Daphne shell (which they don't seem to have any more.) It's actually amazing quality for the price I paid ($40!!) but it was a big close-out sale. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.mckinley.eu/apparel/jackets-vests/?page=1&amp;filterdef=899&amp;attributes%5B%5D=&amp;categoryIds=&amp;color=&amp;size=&amp;gender=w&amp;viewmode=default&amp;orderBy=">Here is the current list.&nbsp;</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pack-whats-in-the-bag#post-1243907 Tue, 06 May 2014 22:26:32 +0000 Suz 1243907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heheh...gorgeous to you, E. Like your shorts outfits are idyllic looking to me!&nbsp;</p> <p>In all seriousness, it is amazingly beautiful here, in all weathers. And I am incredibly fortunate to spend time working here with great mentors.&nbsp;</p> <p>Carter, I'm a bit surprised about the small shoe capsule myself. Especially since the Okalas might not even see wear. (Certainly not until the next city portion of the trip and only if the weather improves a lot!)&nbsp;</p> <p>But here's the thing. The <b>BULK</b> of my time I spend indoors working -- wearing my socks. Or I am in the gym -- wearing indoor gym shoes.&nbsp;</p> <p>When I am outdoors I am often hiking. For that, my Goretex trail runners do the job.&nbsp;</p> <p>The only time I really need outdoor footwear is for the city portions of the trip (blue booties, Cons, and Okalas work for different situations there)&nbsp;and for walking into town and hanging out there. Last year, my most worn "day" shoes in all weather here in the mountains&nbsp;were my Cons. So this year, I just went with that. They're lightweight, I can put on thick socks if it is really cold, and they have enough tread to get me down the slippery path if it rains or snows.&nbsp;</p> <p>The pink rain jacket was actually a super discount gear item. I've had it for several years. It also has a hood that you can remove. It's made by a company called McKinley. It's not top drawer rainproof but it's pretty good and layers well due to raglan sleeves. Not my best pink, but passable and super cheerful on a miserable day.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pack-whats-in-the-bag#post-1243904 Tue, 06 May 2014 22:22:26 +0000 Anonymous 1243904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for posting this, Suz. I've been needing some packing inspiration for iffy spring weather in a carry-on. You look fabulous and the hike view is glorious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pack-whats-in-the-bag#post-1243895 Tue, 06 May 2014 22:16:37 +0000 E 1243895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I *love* that you were able to pack for such a variety of situations &amp; weather without much fuss! It seems such a good indicator of the excellent state of your wardrobe and is such a testament to the work you've put in to get it that way. You look lovely in all of the pics and very comfortable in your skin as well. That snowy view is just gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pack-whats-in-the-bag#post-1243893 Tue, 06 May 2014 22:15:44 +0000 carter 1243893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh! I've been waiting for this! I'll have to go through it more thoroughly tonight. Looooove the pink rain jacket! Who makes it? Beautiful scenery...both you and the mountains! Just 3 pairs of street shoes?? I'm sure I'll have more questions later! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pack-whats-in-the-bag#post-1243877 Tue, 06 May 2014 21:57:02 +0000 Suz 1243877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Thistle, and I couldn't agree more about the snow. But that is what we've got here. At least it is prettier here than it is at home when it snows.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-pack-whats-in-the-bag#post-1243875 Tue, 06 May 2014 21:54:44 +0000 Thistle 1243875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing!&nbsp; I see a little bit of Boden influence peeking through!</p> <p>What a great packer you are, and able to do so with only 2 small bags for a month.&nbsp; I am truly impressed, even more so at the amazing outfits you created!</p> <p>A lovely view.&nbsp; Well, the one without all the snow anyway.

So here it is, for what it might be worth.&nbsp;</p> <p>I will be away from April 24 through May 29. I am mostly&nbsp;in one location (a very snowy one at the moment!) with a few city side-trips.&nbsp;And I can do laundry.&nbsp;</p> <p>But the weather has already ranged from summery to....well...blizzards. And will no doubt veer back again. And my activities range from hiking in the mountains to dinners at city restaurants and public readings in the city and in the mountains.&nbsp;</p> <p>So far (just over a week in) I am doing okay, although I wish I had brought more wintery clothing. Last year I was in this place at the same time and needed more summery items. Such is life -- you never know. On the whole, I'm well prepared; it's just that I don't have a lot of choice at the moment.&nbsp;</p> <p>#1: Everything fit in a blue carry on and a small bag that I checked. It is just over carry-on size for a domestic flight, alas. (A rather old bag that suited older regulations). Last year I brought a larger suitcase but it was very heavy with the weight of my books. This year, I sent some books on ahead so I would be able to travel lighter.&nbsp;</p> <p>#2: The leather jacket has been getting lots of wear.</p> <p>#3: Ditto the cashmere hoodie. Most worn item so far.&nbsp;</p> <p>#4: A warmer, brighter day.</p> <p>#5: Indoor conference -- a day when I had to give a short reading. The hotel was cold so I wore the sweater most of the day.&nbsp;</p> <p>#6: The J. Crew kitty shirt and Reiss jacket come out to play for a city reading.&nbsp;</p> <p>#7: A sunny day last week -- climbed up the mountain in a linen tee.&nbsp;</p> <p>#8: The view.&nbsp;</p> <p>#9: A view today.&nbsp;</p> <p>#10: Leggings as pants. Yup, you saw it here. On my way to a voice/ relaxation workshop, though, so I had an excuse.&nbsp;</p> <p>Will follow this with a rundown of what's in the bag.&nbsp;</p> </p>
