I hope you find the boots from last summer on deep discount now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-for-5-weeks#post-1859821 Sat, 11 Nov 2017 00:45:53 +0000 Style Fan 1859821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie!&nbsp; Sophie is definitely coming with us.&nbsp; She has new boots and socks for the trip.&nbsp; She had some surgery a few weeks ago but is all better now.&nbsp; I am very thankful for that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-for-5-weeks#post-1859793 Fri, 10 Nov 2017 21:32:00 +0000 Angie 1859793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FABULOUS, Style Fan.

I love the yellow/Amber pops in your jewelry. Your wardrobe looks well planned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-for-5-weeks#post-1859751 Fri, 10 Nov 2017 17:55:43 +0000 karen13 1859751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm always interested in long trip travel packing. DH would rather on the road than at home, so we have done quite a few 2-4 week trips with just carryon luggage. Shoes are the hardest.&nbsp;</p> <p>Yay to rejuvenating your bag. I did the same with a 90's Coach that I'm really enjoying now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-for-5-weeks#post-1859615 Fri, 10 Nov 2017 10:54:55 +0000 Style Fan 1859615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your feedback Staysfit.&nbsp; We have also been having a warm fall in mid-Ontario.&nbsp; The LL Bean Puffer is waterproof but extremely warm.&nbsp; Perhaps I should bring my Helly Hensen rain jacket.&nbsp; I was considering a raincoat from Lululemon or Lole but have not found the right one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-for-5-weeks#post-1859608 Fri, 10 Nov 2017 10:38:58 +0000 Staysfit 1859608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting this Style Fan. I find it so helpful to see how people think and plan when they pack for travel. It looks like you have a very practical, functional wardrobe here. You have practice in preparing, so nothing looks superfluous. The only thing I might say is it has been strangely warm so far this year, and even though we are just now having our first cold snap, I wonder if it still might rain one more time before we settle into snow? Are your down puffers water resistant? I’m about 4 hours drive from Montreal, so the weather here isn’t all that different, especially since it isn’t due north. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-for-5-weeks#post-1859604 Fri, 10 Nov 2017 10:27:03 +0000 Style Fan 1859604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In a few days Mr Style Fan, Sophie and I will be heading to Montreal for five weeks.&nbsp; We do this every year for an urban break.&nbsp; My travel capsule is very similar to last year (I even wondered if I should post about it) except I have made some small changes.&nbsp; I have decided to try and wear pieces from my wardrobe that were neglected because of my change in lifestyle.&nbsp; These are small changes because I still have to stay warm and be able to do my regular activities.&nbsp; Unfortunately, I haven`t added finds for my neglected items.</p> <p><b>Outerwear</b><br />Lole Olive Green Knee Length Puffer - Good for Dog Walking - Looking well used (no find)<br />LL Bean Burnt Orange Knee Length Puffer</p> <p><b>Toppers</b><br />Columbia Olive Green Fleece Zippered Cardigan - Well Used (no Find)<br />Ann Taylor Cognac Cashmere Cardigan<br />True Character Chocolate Brown Cashmere Cardigan -Well Used (no Find)<br />Lululemon Olive Green Down Vest<br />Jacob Black Down Vest - Well Used (no Find)</p> <p><b>Bottoms</b><br />Levis Dark Wash Slim Straight Jeans<br />Levis Faded Blue Wash Slim Straight Jeans<br />Lululemon Black Dog Walking Pants - Well Used (no Find)</p> <p><b>Tops</b><br />2 Marks Work Wearhouse Chocolate Brown Long Sleeved T-Shirts<br />Sarah Pacini Olive Green Top<br />Cassis Golden Yellow Modal and Silk-Blend Top (similar to Sarah Pacini) - neglected (no Find)<br />Cassis Warm Brown Modal and Silk-Blend Top - neglected (no Find)<br />J Crew Chambray Denim Shirt</p> <p><b>Pullovers</b><br />Sarah Pacini Olive Green Cropped Funnel Sweater</p> <p><b></b><b>Footwear</b><b></b><br />Clarks Snowboots<br />El Naturalista Chelsea Boots<br />New Balance Walking Shoes<br />Finn Comfort Loafers</p> <p><b>Accessories</b></p> <p>I have shown some of the jewellery that I plan to take.&nbsp; I am still debating which pieces will be in the capsule.&nbsp; I have a few rings that are neglected that I might bring.</p> <p>I have a handbag that I am bringing from the 80s.&nbsp; I have been rejuvenating it with leather cream (Fryes).&nbsp; Great results!!&nbsp; The handbag is cognac and is a slouchy hobo style. &nbsp;</p> <p>I am also taking lots of Yoga gear which I have not posted.</p> <p><b>What I am looking for in Montreal</b></p> <p>I am hoping to buy a pair of boots.&nbsp; I saw a pair in the summer and regret not buying them.</p> </p> <p>Feedback and comments are welcome!!</p> </p>
