Well spotted, Sisi. Have a good trip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---minimal-wardrobe-shows-its-drawbacks#post-1800705 Fri, 21 Apr 2017 13:40:43 +0000 Sisi 1800705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Smittie -</b> yes, I did have a lot of clothes but time ago I finally "put aside" all what was so-so: things that did not fit anymore, that I had never really liked,&nbsp;that were wrong for various reasons&nbsp;... They are out of sight in boxes now and&nbsp;I still have to find the courage to toss them (terrible sentimental hoarder here ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---minimal-wardrobe-shows-its-drawbacks#post-1800701 Fri, 21 Apr 2017 13:31:42 +0000 Anonymous 1800701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sisi-<br /> Did you purge a lot of items since your last wardrobe update? My impression was that you had a lot of clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---minimal-wardrobe-shows-its-drawbacks#post-1800687 Fri, 21 Apr 2017 13:15:21 +0000 Sisi 1800687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>RobinF</b>, actually my current&nbsp;Winter wardrobe has many holes that I have not been able to fill yet (find&nbsp;a pretty warm pullover that is not too short or with a&nbsp;low neckline if you can!). I'm happy to know that you also pack last minute - I do so but I am in awe of people who, one week before, have all ready!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---minimal-wardrobe-shows-its-drawbacks#post-1800675 Fri, 21 Apr 2017 12:46:52 +0000 RobinF 1800675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow that is a really small wardrobe! &nbsp;You can just wait and pack the whole thing right before you leave. I usually can't pack until the last minute because I am wearing things I want to pack so I don't even get out my suitcase until the last day but I do start a pile and a list so I don't forget anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---minimal-wardrobe-shows-its-drawbacks#post-1800669 Fri, 21 Apr 2017 12:36:03 +0000 Sisi 1800669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Traci</b>, you are brilliant! You are right, I must probably change my packing habits.</p> <p><b>Suz</b>, yes - laundry bottlenecks are another problem with my small wardrobe. Sometimes I wish to wear something but oh, no!&nbsp; it's&nbsp;the laundry basket or is still&nbsp;hanging wet.&nbsp;:)&nbsp; And like you, I sometimes&nbsp;avoid to wear a certain item&nbsp;because I want to keep it aside for an upcoming trip. </p> <p>I have to admit&nbsp;that at the moment my wardrobe is exaggeratedly minimal. 3 woolen pullovers, of which&nbsp;I&nbsp;really like&nbsp;only one, 1 only pair of&nbsp; warm pants and&nbsp;2 warm booties. Heh! Miserable, rather then minimal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---minimal-wardrobe-shows-its-drawbacks#post-1800655 Fri, 21 Apr 2017 11:34:34 +0000 Suz 1800655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm. I think it is a problem when you don't have enough items to prevent laundry or cleaning bottlenecks.&nbsp;</p> <p>And even if you do, sometimes you'll want a specific outfit, a favourite, in any case...I have had that problem when about to travel and sometimes purposely hold items back so I will know I'll have them for the trip.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---minimal-wardrobe-shows-its-drawbacks#post-1800654 Fri, 21 Apr 2017 11:12:24 +0000 Traci 1800654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this problem will no longer feel like a problem on the day you leave when you're able to effortlessly pack by just tossing your current minimal wardrobe in your bag, zipping it up and walking out the door. &nbsp;You're just in an adjustment period. &nbsp;Your new minimal wardrobe means you no longer need to pack a week in advance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---minimal-wardrobe-shows-its-drawbacks#post-1800647 Fri, 21 Apr 2017 10:44:34 +0000 Sisi 1800647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I suddenly realized that my minimal wardrobe has a drawback.</p> <p>Tomorrow&nbsp;I will leave for a short trip to East-Northern Europe and I cannot finish to pack my trolley because&nbsp;this week I had to wear&nbsp;the warm clothes&nbsp;that I had planned to pack, since the weather turned cold again here. The sight of&nbsp;my trolley sitting&nbsp;half- empty since a week&nbsp;gives me anxiety. I have the unpleasant sensation of a never ending job.</p> <p>Well, not a big problem, I know. Just wanted to share. </p> <p>For those who remember my post about sneakers, I decided not to buy them. I will take my comfortable warm booties.&nbsp; Thanks for reading!</p>
