After that caused my luggage to be continuously searched, I started buying cheap umbrellas in the UK from street vendors or sidewalk displays. They were cute and I was tempted a little bit to carry them home. But not when I thought of those searches. Better to buy for about $1 if needed, then abandon where someone else will pick it up and enjoy it, often from an umbrella stand. The spokes of. Folded umbrella look suspicious when seen by an x-ray machine.<br /> Replace one pair of pants with a skirt that can be worn with you’d tops and add warm tights for the skirt, possibly also to wear for warmth under pants. You are taking too many coats. Take one that is waterproof with a hood. Think damp cloudy days and rain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---12-days-in-england/page/2#post-2320922 Tue, 02 May 2023 11:18:29 +0000 Dee 2320922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh so clever to use Finds to block out all your outfits.

Hats are pretty standard wear for weddings (unless it's a Registry office or very informal) . However once the wedding reception is over, noone knows what to do with their hats, so they give them to charity shops.....<br /> I would also check with the bride's family on when she is planning to remove her headdress. In very formal weddings, female guests can't remove their hats until she does. But maybe your event will be less stuffy......enjoy your trip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---12-days-in-england#post-2320776 Sun, 30 Apr 2023 19:31:19 +0000 Anonymous 2320776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty dress! Looking forward to seeing the hat/fascinator that you pick up. Great travel capsule. Vote for adding boots too.

I am in awe of anyone planning and packing a small bag for such a trip.</p> <p>I detest being cold while traveling, so I’d make sure to have all kinds of warm sub-layers (Uniglo or silk tanks) just in case. They don’t take up much room, are very lightweight, and usually fit just fine under most tops.</p> <p>I guess this is why I overpack. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---12-days-in-england#post-2320736 Sun, 30 Apr 2023 12:23:18 +0000 salt-sea 2320736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely inspiring packing! I like the idea of subbing in a button down or two. As the forecast fills in you can see. I’d bring fewer sweaters and more lightweight shirts, if you’re doing a lot of walking, and since you have good jacket options. But I don’t run cold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---12-days-in-england#post-2320735 Sun, 30 Apr 2023 12:10:20 +0000 Katerina 2320735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like an excellent travel capsule for this trip! I would bring the extra long sleeve shirts and boots, and also the white jeans (besides the blue ones), but I am a bit of an anxious packer and like to have many choices and things ”just in case”. Lovely dress! Have a wonderful trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---12-days-in-england#post-2320729 Sun, 30 Apr 2023 11:51:42 +0000 Anonymous 2320729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress for the wedding!

Adds warmth and it’s easy to pack away if you overheat.</p> <p>Have a great trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---12-days-in-england#post-2320720 Sun, 30 Apr 2023 08:10:22 +0000 Minaminu 2320720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Weather in UK can vary quite a lot and I'd continue to monitor the forecast in case of temperature changes! This year, it seems that we are running behind the seasons (March was very wet, April was cold) and I'd not be surprised if there would be a mini heatwave in May,</p> <p>I'd add one of the blouses that you show in the second post and a lighter dress. I understand that you run cold, but I think the blazer and trench could be combined if necessary and would sub the puffer jacket with a light pocketable wind and rain proof jacket that you can keep in you bag.</p> <p>Hope you'll have a fab time!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---12-days-in-england#post-2320714 Sun, 30 Apr 2023 04:00:59 +0000 slim cat 2320714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dress and perfect planning!

Warmth and comfortable feet would be my priorities so yes to the boots and do not assume you will feel warm in a damp 15C. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---12-days-in-england#post-2320698 Sun, 30 Apr 2023 01:53:30 +0000 Bonnie 2320698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your wedding guest dress is lovely. It sounds like a fun trip and your capsule looks right on. I took a trip to England and Scotland a few years ago the last two weeks of April and the first week of May and it rained most days but was raining lightly so glad I had my raincoat and fleece coat with me.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---12-days-in-england#post-2320680 Sat, 29 Apr 2023 23:46:26 +0000 Kate 2320680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful dress!!</p> <p>We are leaving about the same time for 16 days in Finland, Denmark &amp; Germany, and I'm taking packing lessons from you. That's a nice tight wardrobe, and I hope to do something similar.&nbsp;</p> <p>Have a wonderful time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---12-days-in-england#post-2320679 Sat, 29 Apr 2023 23:45:56 +0000 LaPed 2320679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice and concise, my kind of travel capsule! Love that you keep track of how much it weighs. :)</p> <p>What topper options are you bringing for the sleeveless lace top? Only the blazer? Just thinking about no sleeves at 15° makes me cold. I would swap out the lace top for one of the long-sleeve button-downs, and definitely bring the boots, but that's just me. I've never regretted erring on the side of being too warm. And I would definitely stick with the darker coloured jeans, because I have the opposite of Angie's superpower (Stain Magnet perhaps?). But YMMV. Have a wonderful time!<i></i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---12-days-in-england#post-2320677 Sat, 29 Apr 2023 23:30:21 +0000 Angie 2320677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I spot new ECCOS!&nbsp; Wooooohooooooo! :)</p> <p>No yellow slingbacks :(</p> <p>YES to bringing the boots!&nbsp;</p> <p>I vote another pair of bottoms - but not your white jeans unless you can have them laundered. And bring the long sleeved shirt!</p> <p>FWIW, I take my travel outfit out of the capsule, because I don't wear it again until I travel back - unless I have it laundered.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---12-days-in-england#post-2320672 Sat, 29 Apr 2023 23:21:00 +0000 Irina 2320672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe a puffer vest? Can be useful if a puffer over a sweater feels too warm.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---12-days-in-england#post-2320670 Sat, 29 Apr 2023 22:55:14 +0000 Sal 2320670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would add one more bottom (skirt or pants) and one less jacket or sweater... But that's me.&nbsp; In terms of the swap out of shirt for sweater - I think it depends if you plan to layer and how that all ties in.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I think temperature is very personal - I think the UK can be similar to here (unpredictable and breezy and damp) but not truly as cold as what you are used to.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Have a wonderful wonderful time and have a HobNob for me (my favourite English cookie!)</p> <p> </p>
