Ironically, it's predictable that way. Glad you could wrap up with jacket and scarves. I like #5 best of all. Super cute.&nbsp;</p> <p>LOTS of double denim in Europe. It's a uniform in the Netherlands.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---paris#post-1838592 Tue, 22 Aug 2017 13:48:35 +0000 texstyle 1838592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great capsule, love the #1 and #2 especially - dresses seem to make for easier packing. Here's hoping your luggage is found very soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---paris#post-1838357 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 18:54:13 +0000 JuniperGreen 1838357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tres chic! &nbsp;Love #5 especially. &nbsp;</p> <p>Good street style reporting, I love hearing about what others are seeing. &nbsp;Definitely lots of double denim all around Europe!</p> <p>Trip sounds great - a bummer it was chilly but for me that's just an excuse to huddle inside a cafe with something sugary and delicious :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---paris#post-1838341 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 17:43:44 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1838341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great pictures, and you look terrific. Very stylish and comfortable. It's too bad about the weather change. I know that uncomfortable situation when you're wearing the same things over and over because they are the warmest things you brought. Hope your suitcase shows up soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---paris#post-1838153 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 02:24:32 +0000 rachylou 1838153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's so funny about American v. European men. Americans are just notorious for our clothing cuts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---paris#post-1838150 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 02:17:18 +0000 frannieb 1838150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great travel Capsule - Paris is officially the city that made me always travel with a packable raincoat now. &nbsp;My daughter loves our pictures of us standing in the pouring rain, freezing doing jazz hands because what else do you do.<br />I always travel with a packable rain jacket and a packable light weight puffer. I am a minimal packer and only travel with a backpack however these three things &nbsp;always find room in &nbsp;pack. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---paris#post-1838008 Sun, 20 Aug 2017 14:36:34 +0000 elpgal 1838008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything looks cohesive, I am taking notes on your travel capsule.</p> <p>I don't understand US men's fashion and their disdain for fit. I guess it is made easier by standardized sizing and the lack of tailoring options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---paris#post-1837999 Sun, 20 Aug 2017 14:17:44 +0000 Muffin 1837999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun trip with your daughter. Sorry about the weather not cooperating but how fun to be able to shop a bit in Paris! All of your looks are great but I love the Theory dress and the Madewell skirt combo. Thanks for your street style report too- I love to observe fashion while traveling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---paris#post-1837998 Sun, 20 Aug 2017 14:17:28 +0000 Anonymous 1837998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect travel capsule -- clothes you can look great in and relax in at the same time.&nbsp; Job well done.&nbsp; I'm going to Paris next fall, so I'm taking notes!</p> <p>I agree about the men's pants.&nbsp; It's been that way since -- forever, I think.&nbsp; Time to step up your pants game, US men!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---paris#post-1837992 Sun, 20 Aug 2017 14:03:11 +0000 Jane 1837992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do look so elegant and fresh. Your feet and shoes look lovely. I really like the dress, and the denim skirt looks great.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think it is slight strange the way french men tend not to wear socks! I think the Spanish do have a way of wearing causal clothes beautifully particularly browns and olives.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---paris#post-1837937 Sun, 20 Aug 2017 05:25:19 +0000 gradfashionista 1837937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So true about men's fashion. Can/US menwear is ridiculously oversized and often unstructured. Anyway, my fav is definitely the Theory dress--super flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---paris#post-1837932 Sun, 20 Aug 2017 04:39:40 +0000 Anonymous 1837932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, the stories our luggage could tell. I hope that yours shows up soon. Your outfits look fabulous! Love photo #2. It is interesting about the double denim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---paris#post-1837924 Sun, 20 Aug 2017 03:29:28 +0000 Jaime 1837924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck with your luggage - usually it does come home eventually! You look fantastic in these pictures and I am sure it was a wonderful trip. Interesting what you say about French men - I made a similar observation when I was in London earlier this summer. As a matter of fact, the men's fashion was the most uniform and striking to me. I have a blog post (still inchoate) about it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---paris#post-1837911 Sun, 20 Aug 2017 02:21:18 +0000 K.M. 1837911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish I could manage to look half as elegant in my trips! You look so polished, down to your footwear. I love all the pieces in the capsule. As for weather that changes... I always overpack so I can be prepared for everything, and inevitably I kick myself for lugging countless pieces that never get worn, or worn only once (and not having enough space to bring back souvenirs...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---paris#post-1837845 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 21:57:09 +0000 kkards 1837845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hope your suitcase shows up!<br />what a fab travel capsule! the black dress in #1 wow! and that denim skirt--love </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---paris#post-1837842 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 21:43:00 +0000 Anonymous 1837842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks pretty great to me, and the ability to buy when you're there was a huge bonus. I'd give anything for some more temperate weather myself - I'm done with summer. &nbsp;Interesting comment about men and their pants. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---paris#post-1837830 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 21:03:35 +0000 Greyscale 1837830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That knotted tee and denim skirt are too cool! Looks like a great capsule -- too bad the weather didn't quite cooperate but I'm sure you looked great in all of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---paris#post-1837826 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 20:39:57 +0000 Anonymous 1837826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GREAT pictures. &nbsp;<u>You did everything right</u>. &nbsp;Sometimes things change and there is no way you could have prepared for every eventuality. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---paris#post-1837808 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 19:13:36 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1837808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress in the first picture is Theory (I added the find since I missed it the first time around.) It's super-comfy. It seems to come in black, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---paris#post-1837794 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 17:47:39 +0000 karen13 1837794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such polished and pretty outfits! You have a tie-front theme going on and you wear it so well! I too love the denim jacket. Athleta is my favorite for travel pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---paris#post-1837792 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 17:33:23 +0000 gryffin 1837792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG best travel capsule of all time. &nbsp;You look so elegant and comfortable. &nbsp;May I ask, the dress in the first photo is particularly stunning on you with the tie front waist. &nbsp;Who makes that? &nbsp;And you look amazing in that denim jacket!! &nbsp;Hope the trip is just as fantastic as your wardrobe is!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---paris#post-1837791 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 17:26:22 +0000 JAileen 1837791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, being cold sounds lovely! Seriously, you look very chic in these outfits. I particularly like your pink sandals and the flowered skirt. Your denim jacket looks cute, too. </p> <p>I froze on a winter trip and wore all my layers at once, being both the Michelin man and a popsicle at the same time. But here and now, we haven't cooled down in nearly two months.</p> <p>What a nice time to spend with your daughter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule---paris#post-1837790 Sat, 19 Aug 2017 17:12:47 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1837790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope that I will not jinx the return of my suitcase with this post. It's been missing since Weds. afternoon but is supposedly on its way back to me. I went to Paris for a week with my daughter. The weather was supposed to be warm and in the 80s all week. I decided that I was going to rely mostly on dresses, skirts and sandals. I even tried everything on in advance to make sure it worked together. Well, the weather forecast changed, and so I ended up being cold and wearing jacket, sweaters, pants and scarf (that did not really match) more than I would have liked. (I wish I had FatHenry's red raincoat.) Here are a couple of photos of looks that worked. The capsule below omits a dress and two tops that I never managed to wear.</p> <p>I did buy the black denim skirt from APC there, as well as a pair of lichen green Clergerie combat boots that I can't find a photo of anywhere online. I also picked up a couple of cute sweaters from a place called Nice Things.</p> <p>In terms of fashion observations, I do not think most of what I saw applied to Parisians, many of whom were on vacation. As I had expected, many shops were closed for a few weeks with 'at the beach' signs in the windows, traffic was light, and the only hordes of people were at major tourist attractions. There was quite a lot of double denim, and a lot of denim jackets in general. Many people were wearing sneakers, mostly of the lace up type, and still a fair bit of the Stan Smith look. I found the most casually dressed people to be Spanish, and the most chic to be either Chinese or Korean. There were not many Americans about.</p> <p>My favorite observation: Men outside of the US wear pants that fit. And they generally take more care with their appearance. It was much appreciated. </p>
