I am definitely taking the puffer as I am sure I will wake really early due to jet lag and head out walking. I have to check in 2 hours in advance bags or no bags so it’s not a hassle and costs no more.&nbsp; And I agree the skirt is going to be better than the black pants!!</p> <p>I will take the rain coat Bijou - we have a travel umbrella too. The climate in Melbourne in winter is quite similar to NZ….. damp! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-melbourne#post-2270068 Wed, 06 Jul 2022 14:43:32 +0000 Bijou 2270068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Going to Melbourne pack an umbrella. I would take a raincoat too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-melbourne#post-2270030 Wed, 06 Jul 2022 08:09:41 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2270030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool skirt. I like the idea of taking it instead of trousers, because it gives you more variety. </p> <p>What you’re taking for 4 days would work for me for a week, assuming mix &amp; match works. As many shoes as days is a lot, but getting under 3 is hard. If it was me, I’d leave off the puffer; even if you don’t buy one, you could wear the coatigan and rain jacket together if it’s cool &amp; wet, plus you might have a blazer or whatever. </p> <p>But that’s me, dreading the bag claim. You said you don’t mind checking, so that’s a different thing and I should stop projecting. </p> <p>Have a fun trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-melbourne#post-2270027 Wed, 06 Jul 2022 07:20:54 +0000 Sal 2270027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your capsule Brooklyn! A good reminder to add in some jewelry. The bag is stunning too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-melbourne#post-2270017 Wed, 06 Jul 2022 01:45:51 +0000 Brooklyn 2270017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I think black is still the Melbourne uniform. And it is mid winter after all.</p> <p>FWIW, this is what I’m thinking about taking when I go. Although I’m still thinking. Lots of black Not shown: black tights, black layering cardigan, layering tops to wear under mesh top and knits. I can layer the Vince skirt under the Amare skirt to winterise it. The Amare skirt is my favourite at the moment and I firmly believe in taking at least one favourite item when you go on holiday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-melbourne#post-2270007 Tue, 05 Jul 2022 22:56:15 +0000 Sal 2270007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suntiger.&nbsp; Temperatures are not too different to where I live (it's 40-60 F about).&nbsp; The coatigan, a merino long sleeve and a merino tank would be warm enough I think.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Brooklyn - had a tweak.&nbsp; Thinking I will take my skirt and blazer for the theatre.&nbsp; My black trousers aren't very warm and the skirt with opaque tights is better.&nbsp; I have a few black tops I can wear underneath.&nbsp; That also gives me a blazer and jeans outfit which will be useful I think.</p> <p>Putting this capsule together makes me realise that I do need (want) to upgrade my knitwear.&nbsp; </p> <p>The capsule is getting darker but I think black is still the Melbourne colour (I will report back)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-melbourne#post-2269893 Tue, 05 Jul 2022 11:02:09 +0000 Anonymous 2269893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good to me! Now one thing about the coatigan, as the owner of a few, do you have anything long enough to layer over it? It may not get as cold there as it does here- but they made me prioritize long coats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-melbourne#post-2269888 Tue, 05 Jul 2022 10:23:50 +0000 Brooklyn 2269888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think take your puffer not your coat. It will be better for the AFL. </p> <p>I would be tempted to take a blazer for Hamilton and dinners out. Do you have anything you could layer under it discretely for extra warmth? Eg fine knit cardigan or sleeveless puffer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-melbourne#post-2269863 Tue, 05 Jul 2022 01:53:58 +0000 Sal 2269863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jaime.&nbsp; I always start with the shoes and work up!!&nbsp; I always find I want four footwear options (running shoes for an early morning walk or run, two daytime options and one more dressy option).&nbsp; But potentially I could look at three given it is winter and I don't plan to take any heels.&nbsp; I think for the theatre I could wear the black and white platform sneakers with black trousers as below with some bling.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-melbourne#post-2269861 Tue, 05 Jul 2022 01:49:33 +0000 Jaime 2269861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am terrible at packing posts. But your trip sounds great! I am sure you will sort out the clothes as long as you have comfortable shoes you will be good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-melbourne#post-2269853 Mon, 04 Jul 2022 23:38:34 +0000 Sal 2269853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will wear black socks with the black and white sneakers, and I usually wear no shows with the veja trainers.&nbsp; As I think about it I can probably just leave these off - the boots and rollies are very comfortable for city walking, and if we do a longer outing I can wear my Asics running shoes.&nbsp; I could swap in a second pair of boots as well - I think I will have plenty of space.</p> <p>I am on the hunt for a second puffer - but there is no guarantee I will find it - I will spend 1/2 a day looking at shops but my sons and husband are not keen...... and I want to spend most of my time with them.</p> <p>I need to try on my theatre outfit and the brown trousers with my coats and see that they all work.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-melbourne#post-2269852 Mon, 04 Jul 2022 23:22:54 +0000 Angie 2269852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun trip, <b>Sal </b>:)</p> <p>I'm with <b>Rachy</b>.

Will sneakers be warm enough? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-melbourne#post-2269836 Mon, 04 Jul 2022 20:30:12 +0000 Sal 2269836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am planning my travel capsule for four days in July in Melbourne Australia.</p> <p>It’s a fairly short trip with 3 hour flights plus travel to and from the airport. We are staying in an apartment (4 of us) and activities are:<br /> - one night at the theatre to see Hamilton (booked)<br /> - one night at the AFL ( Australian football)<br /> - visiting a sick friend at her home<br /> - shopping and inner city activities such as catching trams, checking out our old neighbourhood, a museum etc<br /> - maybe a bike ride down the river or similar.</p> <p>It will be mid winter- 7-14 degrees C and Melbourne can be both damp and cold.</p> <p>I will have a checked bag because I may do some shopping there. </p> <p>Thinking-</p> <p>1.Four different footwear between sneakers and boots. I usually take my running shoes as one option.&nbsp; Looking at running shoes, Veja sneakers, black and white platoform sneakers, brown boots - I could avoid one of the first if short of room)<br /> 2. My coatigan and my puffer.<br /> 3. One pair of trousers and one jeans for the days in Melbourne.<br /> 4. One joggers for the plane trips.<br /> 5. Black trousers for the theatre<br /> 6. Two merino sweaters for the days in Melbourne.<br /> 7. Dressy blouse for the theatre - that works with the coatigan.<br /> 8. Scarves x2<br /> 9. Merino tanks<br /> 10. Exercise gear x1 ( leggings and warm top and beanie and gloves)<br /> 11. Crossbody bag (maybe x2)</p> <p>Things I am unsure about:</p> <p>&nbsp;- leather jacket or blazer to wear with the jeans for sightseeing? Thinking between the puffer and the coatigan I should be okay?<br /> - wool coat (bulky?)<br /> - rain coat (mine is nice and quite smart)</p> <p>Any thoughts or ideas?</p> <p>(I am wondering about the brown belted trousers - not great with my puffer - will have to try with the Coatigan as an option?)&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> </p>
