It might be different if I would be travelling with other outerwear!</p> <p>@Suz<br />Yes, that's definitely interesting! I love the stripes, but you know I'm all for lower contrast otherwise.</p> <p>@Maneera<br />I didn't shop for shoes, but as it turns out it's good I didn't because I won't go after all because my friend won't be able to either. All that planning for nothing... Oh well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-review#post-1545373 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 16:25:47 +0000 Beth Ann 1545373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You made every item count, Astrid.&nbsp; You planning paid off!&nbsp; Love the stripe on you, and the crossbody bag is perfect for travel.&nbsp; I have to have the right bag, and it has to be tough --- easy to get in and out of (for me, not a thief), and easy to clean and carry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-review#post-1545329 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 15:39:24 +0000 Ankita 1545329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your pictures are so pretty and you look lovely!

It sounds like you had a great trip. Glad the packing worked out perfectly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-review#post-1545168 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 11:36:38 +0000 Karie 1545168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you had a great trip and wonderful weather. Isn't it nice when the items in your suitcase work out perfectly? I'm also a fan of #3. The stripes and the neckline look good on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-review#post-1545130 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 09:21:03 +0000 Summer 1545130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's good to know that you had such a good time, Astrid, and that your capsule worked so well for you. &nbsp;Looking forward to hearing more about your adventures and seeing more of your outfits in action. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-review#post-1545123 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 08:05:58 +0000 Maneera 1545123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Astrid...seems like you had a lovely vacation...and your travel capsule served you very well! Good job on that!&nbsp;</p> <p>The pictures are gorgeous...the landscape really is astonishing. You look adorable in #3 - Breton stripes are a favourite of mine too!&nbsp;</p> <p>Look forward to seeing more photos soon. And did you find shoes to go with your dress for the fancy event you will attend soon? Just curious...since you did plan to look for comfortable but dressy shoes while on vacation.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-review#post-1544999 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 01:35:44 +0000 Suz 1544999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job, Astrid and glad your capsule worked so well. You look absolutely adorable in #3. Breton stripes are your friend! I "get" this because they also work well on me. It is a case where somehow the high contrast works, despite being low contrast -- maybe Kibbe typology takes over here and the "gamine" takes over the "colour/ contrast" aspect somehow. All I know is it works!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-review#post-1544920 Mon, 24 Aug 2015 23:53:41 +0000 Elly 1544920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-review#post-1544884 Mon, 24 Aug 2015 22:43:34 +0000 E 1544884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love seeing the in the wild pics! And that sounds like ideal weather. I'm glad your packing worked; it's funny you don't use scarves. I use a pashmina-style one a ton when I travel, far more than in ordinary life! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-review#post-1544857 Mon, 24 Aug 2015 22:00:39 +0000 Astrid 1544857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks. Yes I had a great time. The landscape is fantastic, I enjoyed the weather and the people were very friendly. A relaxed atmosphere all around, there was no hectic pace anywhere. The food was great too. I definitely want to go back some time. I even managed to resurrect some of my French, even though I hadn't practiced in the last six years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-review#post-1544788 Mon, 24 Aug 2015 20:16:39 +0000 Gaylene 1544788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you had the right clothes so you could spend your time having fun. You look wonderful in #3, but #1 stole my heart because you look like you are having a great holiday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-review#post-1544778 Mon, 24 Aug 2015 20:07:20 +0000 Astrid 1544778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! I thought of you and went for the classic white and black striped breton shirt first, then added a color for something different. The other one is green with black stripes and both are probably going to make appearances in my WIW posts soon.</p> <p>Thanks Banoffi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-review#post-1544771 Mon, 24 Aug 2015 20:01:55 +0000 Banoffi 1544771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like you did a great job of packing.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-review#post-1544768 Mon, 24 Aug 2015 19:57:15 +0000 Angie 1544768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad your travel capsule worked out well, Astrid. Give yourself a big pat on the back. Fun that you had a fab time too, and you look adorable in #3.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-review#post-1544742 Mon, 24 Aug 2015 19:21:48 +0000 Astrid 1544742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm back from two weeks in Brittany with one week staying at my parents afterwards, packing a rather minimal travel capsule. You can read about the planning <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-capsule-what-to-take" rel="nofollow">here</a>. It was absolutely fantastic, more on the actual holiday later in Off Topic when I have time to select some pictures to post. I thought I'd do a short review of the things I took with me. Also four pics taken "in the wild".</p> <p>The weather was colder than I thought, I only wore the shorts on one day (it was mostly around 20-23°C in the highs with cold evenings and mornings and a few rainy days). So I was definitely glad to have two pairs of jeans! The trekking pants where great to have too for being outside in the rain. Same for the rain jacket and trekking shoes. I wore my Birkenstock sandals a lot paired with the long jeans, comfortable in the temperatures and easy to take off at the beach. I wore my sneakers less often. I wore my two new striped breton shirts all the time over my tees and the cardigan got a lot of use too. I only wore the wool pullover in the evenings at home with my sleepwear, but it was nice to have for that. The crossbody bag worked out perfectly, easy access to get the camera out and waterproof. I didn't use the scarf once, same as in Scotland. I should have just left it at home. All in all it worked out really well. </p> </p>
