Love the back detail in 4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---black-white-blue#post-1690278 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 21:01:00 +0000 Inge 1690278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maneera, I'm still catching up on threads from a week ago, and wanted to say that I am so sorry that your trip to the UK fell through. I absolutely admire your positive attitude in all this, and was so chuffed to hear that you booked a trip to Thailand! I think I don't even have to tell you what I think of your travel capsule;-) (Love it!!!) Nor what I think about stripes: one can never have too many!-)</p> <p>Wishing you a super relaxing and very happy vacation! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---black-white-blue#post-1689531 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 09:50:50 +0000 Sisi 1689531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful,<br /> beautiful capsule! It is a pleasure to look at. </p> <p>I like all<br /> the outfits, in particular the two dresses with the silver sandals – so chic! –<br /> , the with top<br /> (it flatters you a lot) with the skirt and the black top with the printed skirt.</p> <p>You are<br /> very clever at packing-lists! (I am a disaster – it takes me forever to put<br /> together a holiday<br /> capsule and then I always manage to bring the wrong things, haha). </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---black-white-blue#post-1689522 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 08:57:27 +0000 Maneera 1689522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sally, you're absolutely right! I have thought about backpacking trips often, but never pulled the trigger. It's on my WishList though And to be honest, I'd prefer to do that in Europe or perhaps the cold mountain region of India in winters. In summertime, most of Asia is just too hot to be able to repeat any outfits. You sweat like crazy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---black-white-blue#post-1689519 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 08:53:12 +0000 Jaime 1689519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the stripes theme! I think you have your travel wardrobe locked up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---black-white-blue#post-1689517 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 08:40:53 +0000 Sal 1689517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like you are all sorted! Comfy shoes, lightweight clothing, flying options, dinner options, hats, jewelry....</p> <p>I think it comes to a personal preference whether you pack lighter or heavier, and wash clothing or not while away. For this trip where you are based in a resort and have a good bag allowance, there is no need to be too lean....I think it is different when you are on the move and packing and repacking every day or two.</p> <p>I loved Thailand and would happily go back </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---black-white-blue#post-1689505 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 06:56:32 +0000 Maneera 1689505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Coco, Sharan &amp; Donna</p> <p>I was a touch concerned that there was *too much* of stripes. But I'm not anymore In fact, I do have another B&amp;W dress that dresses up or down very easily....so I might add that too. </p> <p>This dress manages to go with me EVERYWHERE!! Its wrinkle free, light weight and always manages to look good. It's been to very vacation I've gone on since I bought it...why break tradition now, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---black-white-blue#post-1689490 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 04:57:16 +0000 Cococat 1689490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute capsule Manny. I'm day 2 of my holiday and already wish I'd added a bit of white in with my mainly black and grey. B &amp; W is so versatile. I'll probably pick up a white tee somewhere soon. I threw in a striped dress very similar to yours at the last minute and I'm so pleased I did because it was perfect for the heat of Singapore and now that I'm on the boat in Europe, perfect for a stroll down the corridor to the tea coffee station. </p> <p>I especially love your cold shoulder look. It will be great for the heat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---black-white-blue#post-1689486 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 04:41:11 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1689486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This capsule looks fantastic. I like how versatile it is, and you look so great in all of the outfits. I'm thinking of copying you and making black, blue, and off-white the basis of my travel capsule for a trip coming up soon. <br />Mine is not to a resort (far from it--I'm going to the U.S. Midwest) but it will be a nice getaway nonetheless! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---black-white-blue#post-1689447 Tue, 05 Jul 2016 02:15:25 +0000 DonnaF 1689447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cute!&nbsp; I LOVE stripes!&nbsp; I hear you on feeling more like oneself in neutrals.&nbsp; But it just occurred to me that this preference may also be due to my weather and climate.&nbsp; I might feel differently in a warmer/hotter tropical place.&nbsp; OTOH, you're in India so that wouldn't apply to you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---black-white-blue#post-1689219 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 15:59:51 +0000 Maneera 1689219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! </p> <p>Jaileen - will definitely click pics! </p> <p>Crazyone - I took ALOT of bright colors on my beach vacay to Maldives. Including my 'infamous' dress that I r struggled to style ever since! I didn't quite feel myself, to be honest. I feel much more ME in these neutrals </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---black-white-blue#post-1689215 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 15:40:12 +0000 Suz 1689215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fabulous and coherent capsule! Of course you won't get any objection from me on all the stripes! I love them. Great to see you in those new dresses, and really, all the looks are super fab.&nbsp;</p> <p>Have a wonderful vacation!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---black-white-blue#post-1689208 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 15:21:24 +0000 crazyone 1689208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a lovely, cohesive capsule that I'm sure will serve you well.</p> <p>I think I'd use a beach vacation as an opportunity to wear more crazy colored and patterned stuff but I am a color fiend </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---black-white-blue#post-1689197 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 14:37:51 +0000 Alexandra 1689197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like a great wardrobe. Lots of options, and all of them look comfortable and ready for anything. Enjoy your vacation! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---black-white-blue#post-1689195 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 14:35:09 +0000 JAileen 1689195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are some great outfits! Elephant trekking? I hope you plan to post some pictures afterward. I'd love to see what that involves! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---black-white-blue#post-1689175 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 13:47:47 +0000 Maneera 1689175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie &amp; Chris!</p> <p>So I always carry an extra foldable bag when I travel. I use it to carry back souvenirs &amp; holiday shopping </p> <p>I'm quite an expert packer, btw. I will fit all this, plus shoes &amp; basic toiletries in a small cabin trolley sized suitcase and my backpack. Both me &amp; my husband like to carry lightweight suitcases, so we have 2 small suitcases &amp; 2 backpacks between the two of us.</p> <p>In any case, our luggage allowance is ALOT; we just don't ever use it. I think the airlines allows 25kgs of check-in luggage and 12kg of cabin luggage per person. So that extra bag that comes home....that's totally OK :)</p> <p>I must confess now --- I never hand wash anything. Ever. I simply don't buy anything that needs hand washing. And winter wear I just give for dry cleaning </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---black-white-blue#post-1689173 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 13:40:39 +0000 Angie 1689173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute all round, Manny. The dress and skirt outfits are my favourites. I love #11. You had me with the lace.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---black-white-blue#post-1689143 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 12:16:02 +0000 Chris987 1689143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks terrific, you will be well dressed for everything! I echo what Staysfit said, if any of these items can be hand washed in the sink in your room, hung to dry, and worn another day you could lighten the load a little, but it sounds like you are ok with what you are bringing. Other than keeping the suitcase lighter, anther reason for doing it is to leave room for clothes or other souvenirs you might want to bring home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---black-white-blue#post-1689139 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 11:47:14 +0000 Maneera 1689139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahaha. Isabelle - I think the locals are rather modest because of religious beliefs. But the country majorly promotes tourism, so I doubt I'll be the only one baring so much leg </p> <p>We are also not in Bangkok but going to an island (a popular honeymoon destination in Asia).... So it's definitely more touristy. As for elephants....I've gone on a few rides as a kid and I do remember exactly the same thing </p> <p>When my husband was in the army, we were posted in North East India where wild elephants were dangerous to humans, crops &amp; properties. It was scary. But I find baby elephants absolutely adorable...just love those cuties. Hope to see some! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---black-white-blue#post-1689132 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 10:59:23 +0000 skylurker 1689132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What I remember about Thailand is that people are covered and don't show skin - but I suppose it's different in a resort place.<br /> Oh, and elephant riding is rather annoying because they want to eat all the grass around instead of moving forward. It's fun, though.</p> <p>Anyway, you look super cute in all the outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---black-white-blue#post-1689126 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 10:22:29 +0000 Maneera 1689126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Staysfit. I can still fit all this in just a suitcase. Since it's all cotton knit or jersey, it folds easily and packs without taking much space. I don't hand wash either, I'm afraid. To be honest, I don't travel very often, and have never needed to. I just take more clothes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---black-white-blue#post-1689113 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 09:29:55 +0000 Staysfit 1689113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nicely done! Everything looks great. It looks like a lot to me for travel, but you say you don't repeat when it's hot outside. Do you ever hand wash and hang dry? I do it all the time when I travel. I try to bring pieces that I know will dry overnight. That makes my suitcase lighter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---black-white-blue#post-1689099 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 07:59:26 +0000 Anonymous 1689099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, you finished putting together your capsule! I love the result Manny. It looks like it's all going to work beautifully. Like the new cold shoulder top and your dresses are pretty. Ooh and I like the new asymmetric striped tee dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---black-white-blue#post-1689088 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 07:23:18 +0000 Maneera 1689088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol Rachy. Yes - ALOT of stripes! But I do love stripes...so I don't mind. It's kind of my signature look </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---black-white-blue#post-1689087 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 07:12:26 +0000 rachylou 1689087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your cold shoulder top and your solid black and white tees. I have to admit that would be a lot of stripes for me re the other items, but I pretty much don't do mariner stripes at all, so you can't listen to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---black-white-blue#post-1689074 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 06:12:35 +0000 Maneera 1689074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Bijou. You're totally right. For the flight, I'm going to wear either:<br /> 1) Jeans with one of these tops<br /> 2) Leggings with one of my beach coverups used as a tunic<br /> 3) Silky joggers with one of these tees</p> <p>I'm most likely to opt for #3. I am used to aircon 24x7 but do get cold on flights. For that I have a fabourite pashmina that's soft, lightweight and becomes a Cosy blanket. We are flying through the night &amp; will be at Krabi in the morning....so full length pants is a must</p> <p>I find denim jackets to be unnecessarily heavy for a trip like this, since I'll never use it once I'm in Thailand. And since I rarely ever wear sleeveless, I'm never cold in stores or restaurants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---black-white-blue#post-1689073 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 06:05:19 +0000 Bijou 1689073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your holiday capsule - you look super stylish and ready for a luxurious beachside holiday. I would take a warmer outfit for the plane (I usually travel in comfortable jeans and some sort of topper over a light weight top), as I find the aircon on planes to be cold. On a recent trip to Singapore, I found the aircon in stores and hotel restaurants to be cold and was happy to have a denim jacket to pop on over my summer dresses.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---black-white-blue#post-1689068 Mon, 04 Jul 2016 05:22:53 +0000 Maneera 1689068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm only just realizing that loving ALL of your wardrobe comes with 1 problem - what to take on a trip &amp; what to leave behind!!!</p> <p>Thailand is hot &amp; humid this time of the year...much like India. But the tropical weather will have cooler nights than here...thank heavens for that! In any case, the high humidity means that I'm only going to pack cotton knits and denim shorts...since those are the only things I'm comfortable in when it's hot &amp; humid. </p> <p>Since I couldn't decide what to take and what not to take, I decided to break my travel capsule down by activities. I will wear sneakers (gear) for the flight. I am not comfortable walking a lot in sandals so need them for airports, and we also plan to do some rock climbing &amp; elephant trekking, should the weather allow. </p> <p>We have breakfast inclusive at our beach resort. For other meals, we plan to explore the local bars, cafes and restaurants, since our resort is centrally located and within walking distance from markets &amp; eateries. </p> <p>I started this capsule from footwear options. I'm going to pack one pair of slip on B&amp;W sneakers for all city walking and one pair of flat silver sandals that are comfy to walk in. Obviously I'll have a pair of flip-flops too. Both shoes can be worn with almost all outfits, so I'm happy about that. </p> <p>My capsule includes mostly black &amp; white because that's something I just love. And a bit of blue...because I like that too. Comfort is KEY for this trip. I'll pack 2-3 pendant necklaces and couple bracelets for accessories. And also 2 brightly colored scarfs that I can also use as sarongs. I will have 2 straw sunhats - one is B&amp;W and the other is blue with some cream. </p> <p>1) B&amp;W print cold shoulder top with black skater skirt. Can wear for lunch/dinner<br /> 2) B&amp;W striped top with cotton knit mini skirt. Very comfy, one of my fav summer outfits that I can wear for literally ANYTHING.<br /> 3) The same striped top as #2 but in blue. Blue denim shorts to go with it.<br /> 4) Shot shows why I love these striped tops enough to have 2 of them...I love that detail at the back because it shows off the tattoo on my back.<br /> 5) Another pair of denim shorts with oversized black tee. For lounging around or for bfast.<br /> 6) Similar outfit with light blue shorts that have a cute crocheted detail at the bottom, paired with white oversized tee. Can wear with flip flops to lounge around the pool....or on boat rides when we go island hopping (can easily wear my swimsuits underneath).<br /> 7) New asymmetrical hem striped dress. Ideal for lunch/dinner with right accessories<br /> 8) The other new striped dress. Can easily wear around the pool with a B&amp;W floppy sunhat, or can dress up slightly with silver sandals for a light lunch.<br /> 9) B&amp;W Fit &amp; flare tshirt dress. Good for dinner<br /> 10) Similar to #9 but blue. (I actually have 6 of these fit &amp; flare tshirt dresses that I took to Maldives in 2015)<br /> 11) B&amp;W tube skirt with a pretty white top. I really like the lacy sleeves....good for a dinner out.<br /> 12) Another easy printed knit skirt with a basic black tee. </p> <p>I think with these outfits, I'll be good for 5 days &amp; 4 nights. It may seem that these are too-much, but I never repeat any outfit or item of clothing when weather is hot &amp; humid and I know I'll sweat a lot. That means I do need 2-3 options per day, depending on what we do. Swimwear &amp; coverups will be additional. </p> <p>Would love to hear your thoughts. </p>
