Sorry to hear your plans had to be canceled. Now your travel capsule can join all the ones I’ve made on my phone for various trips over the past couple years. As my mom says, related to various health wobbles for herself and my dad, both in their 80s, aging is an adventure in itself, and you don’t have to go anywhere—it comes to you! Wishing Mr M a smooth road to recovery. That “what I’ve learned from the pandemic” post sounds like a good one </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-what-i-almost-wore#post-2215762 Fri, 13 Aug 2021 10:40:34 +0000 Preppy Pear 2215762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Best wishes for a speedy recovery for Mr. Maven, and so sorry that your trip was canceled. You, of course, look stunning as usual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-what-i-almost-wore#post-2215758 Fri, 13 Aug 2021 10:33:45 +0000 kkards 2215758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ms Maven, so sorry about your disrupted travel plans, and even more sorry about Mr Mavens hospitalization and upcoming surgeries.&nbsp;<br />But i do like the travel capsule you but together.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-what-i-almost-wore#post-2215744 Fri, 13 Aug 2021 09:05:17 +0000 Jaime 2215744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, I feel you with the travel interruption and stress. Also on the turn away from browns then temptation back after going grey. I find that certain browns work just fine on me and others don't. I think my eye had to adjust to the different effects. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-what-i-almost-wore#post-2215729 Fri, 13 Aug 2021 04:44:43 +0000 MsMaven 2215729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, we were flying to Denver then renting a car. My son was here--I have given my old Audi to him. He had planned to go on 70 but changed to 80. We zoomed with the family tonight. They are way above the smoke, but my son said he had smoky skies much of the way there. They are at Breckenridge--such beautiful photos!&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for the positive comments on brown. I think I turned against it when my color-the-gray turned too blonde. One positive about the pandemic (if there has been any) is that I've had an opportunity to rethink and experiment with color and style, and prepare for the next phase of life.&nbsp;</p> <p>Mr. M feels pretty good right now. He's been on a liquid diet and today got to move to soft foods. His problems seem to stem from some serious surgery he had 10 years ago.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'll been working on ideas for a "what I learned from the pandemic" post soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-what-i-almost-wore#post-2215719 Fri, 13 Aug 2021 03:23:05 +0000 kellygirl 2215719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry that your trip was canceled but glad that Mr Maven has his own doctors taking care of him. Nothing worse than falling ill somewhere else! Wishing him a speedy recovery. You look fantastic in your browns! Your travel outfit is warmed up and ready to go for next time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-what-i-almost-wore#post-2215704 Fri, 13 Aug 2021 02:13:38 +0000 bj1111 2215704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to hear mr maven is back home recuperating.&nbsp; it's such a struggle to know what to do day to day, never mind make future plans.</p> <p>i can see you in camel.&nbsp; i think it would like up your face like a dream. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-what-i-almost-wore#post-2215702 Fri, 13 Aug 2021 02:01:09 +0000 Anonymous 2215702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry to hear about Mr. M and your trip. &nbsp;Your travel color pallet sounds fab. Remember it for next time. &nbsp;Colorado has horrible air quality and has had it for at least three weeks. &nbsp;Not a good place for someone who is having symptoms . &nbsp;If you had planned on taking I70 to reach your destination and go through Denver, there is a major detour due to rocks and mudslides. &nbsp;I miss brown but am wondering if it will be a washout. &nbsp;You look gorgeous in it &nbsp;Camel could work mixed with rose and creamy shades of white, or darks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-what-i-almost-wore#post-2215693 Fri, 13 Aug 2021 01:08:01 +0000 rachylou 2215693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! But gosh, yeah, it’s better to be near home and your own doctors.</p> <p>Brown is an excellent colour on you. Really comes alive on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-what-i-almost-wore#post-2215688 Thu, 12 Aug 2021 23:58:18 +0000 Angie 2215688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's stressful. Sorry to hear about hubs, but good that the hospital stay happened at home and not on your trip. Sending healing thoughts, and hopefully a family reunion is in the not too distant future. Hang in there.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am fully vaccinated and had to do FOUR 10-hour non-stop flights to and from the Netherlands in the space of six weeks recently (to see my very sick Dad who passed away). It was stressful, and I empathize.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hubs Greg has gorgeous grey hair and wears blue and black tops with olive, toffee, brown and cinnamon pants really well! You wear brown well too. Fab with blues and pinks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-what-i-almost-wore#post-2215687 Thu, 12 Aug 2021 23:54:49 +0000 slim cat 2215687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry all your plans have changed but the safety and health of family is the most important. Wishing safe recovery and a lot of good luck.</p> <p>Your traveling capsule looks smart and stylish - hope another trip is in the future this or next year. Brown and blush sounds like perfect combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-what-i-almost-wore#post-2215685 Thu, 12 Aug 2021 23:42:55 +0000 Sloper 2215685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry Mr. Maven is ill and that your trip was cancelled.&nbsp; I hope everything goes smoothly for him and that he has a safe recovery.</p> <p>I like your idea to mix brown, black, cream and denim blue. Can you take some layout pix of the items together and keep for future reference? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-what-i-almost-wore#post-2215684 Thu, 12 Aug 2021 23:42:39 +0000 DonnaF 2215684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry about the aborted family get-together, but yes, if a hospital stay is inevitable it is better that it’s near home. </p> <p>Brown and blue go so well together. Hope you have notes on what you planned to take should you eventually take a trip with similar climate and length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-what-i-almost-wore#post-2215676 Thu, 12 Aug 2021 22:54:42 +0000 MsMaven 2215676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I arrange my closet by clothing type and then by color. Last week I started hanging clothes together to figure out what to pack for a family get together at a Colorado ski resort. I ended up moving items in and out of my planned travel wardrobe in unexpected ways. rejected Itemst I was sure I'd take, ending up with a color scheme of brown, black, cream, and blue jeans and a blue denim jacket. (Not a jean jacket.)</p> <p>The brown items were mostly bought during the pandemic, on sale, and as an experiment since I turned against brown, probably when I went gray. I have a brown Henley from Macy’s that cost about $12 and it went well with brown and black animal print jeans I have. And that along with my new rose Nike’s and the similar colored scarf. <p>I love camel on other women, even gray-haired women. At some point I decided I didn’t feel right wearing it—too washed out maybe. The ads for fall showing earth tones call to me. I think I’ll try a camel top and see how it feels. </p> <p>I was nervous about travelling with the resurgence of Covid and flying for the first time in almost 2 years. We are vaccinated, but don’t want to even catch a cold. I had no idea how nervous I should&nbsp;have been!&nbsp;Mr. Maven went to the ER and was admitted to the hospital a day before we were to leave. He is home after 4 nights, but we had to cancel the. We thought we had a chance he could be out sooner and make it a couple of days later—no way as it turns out. I’m glad he started feeling symptoms before we got to Colorado.</p> <p>He will have lots of tests and ultrasound in the next few days. Right now it looks like he will likely need a couple of surgeries. We’ll know more in a few days.</p> <p>Okay—this is the only photo I have handy testing the brown look. Below are some of the items I planned on the BR crew sweater in cream, not gray.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </p>
