Sam and I are flying out to Florida too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/traveling-to-florida---what-to-pack#post-1788783 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 18:00:13 +0000 Karie 1788783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tex, I wish I had room for the sandals, but they stayed home. The Holt's seemed more versatile for mid 50 degree evenings. I had to fit everything in a carry on as I'm waiting 2 hours at the airport in Orlando for a friend to arrive on a different flight, and I didn't want to have to wait at baggage claim. The trench is unlined and very lightweight so I"ll probably use it at night. </p> <p>I am SO GLAD I brought the Halogen scarf - so far it's been a scarf (in cold NY), a wrap, a blanket, and a pillow (on the plane). It has earned its place in my suitcase!</p> <p>Angie, I'd love to send some warm weather your way! The pilot said it's going to be 79 degrees tomorrow - I can't even wrap my head around that thought yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/traveling-to-florida---what-to-pack#post-1788725 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 15:57:14 +0000 texstyle 1788725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We were just there recently and I did use a light fleece jacket on several mornings and wore jeans a couple of days. Other days shorts and sandals.&nbsp; I think your capsule looks great and perfect for the occasion. I'd probably bring the sandals if I had space. A trench sounds a little warm but it all depends on if you run warm/cold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/traveling-to-florida---what-to-pack#post-1788693 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 14:43:42 +0000 Angie 1788693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm too late to be helpful, but wanted to wish you a safe and happy trip. Send over some warm weather! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/traveling-to-florida---what-to-pack#post-1788658 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 12:54:44 +0000 Karie 1788658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! I am at the airport waiting to board, and I decided on the trench coat and scarf, not the poncho. I also did not bring the Trina's, just the Holt's to wear with the dress and skirt. I tried it all on and it looked good, especially when bookended with my white pearls, so I hope that wasn't a bad decision. I did manage to fold the trench into my carry on and I'm wearing the scarf for the (probably) chilly plane ride. I'm escaping near zero degrees and 20" of snow for 75 degree weather! YAY! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/traveling-to-florida---what-to-pack#post-1788622 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 10:26:35 +0000 JamC 1788622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't really know whether the poncho or trench coat would be better. But I wanted to say that I really like your choices for the rehearsal dinner and wedding. You will look fabulous at these important events! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/traveling-to-florida---what-to-pack#post-1788604 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 09:45:51 +0000 Style Fan 1788604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in Florida and the weather is very unpredictable.&nbsp; Very warm one day and cold the next.&nbsp; It is a maritime climate as my DH says.&nbsp; We are in the northern part of Florida but the state is not that big.&nbsp; I have worn short sleeved T shirts at night and then my light weight down coat the next night.&nbsp; <br />I think the poncho and the trench&nbsp;is a good idea.&nbsp; Or a light weight down coat.&nbsp; But I get cold easily. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/traveling-to-florida---what-to-pack#post-1788596 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 08:44:56 +0000 Staysfit 1788596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was in Florida a few weeks ago. It was warmer than what you are predicting here during the day but about 50 at night. I needed something warm in the evening and early mornings until the sun warmed things up. Even on days when it reached 80 I didn't feel too warm in long sleeves because it was windy. I would bring the trench and scarf. I used my lightweight pufferand it was perfect. It's like wearing a sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/traveling-to-florida---what-to-pack#post-1788593 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 08:18:32 +0000 Karie 1788593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We will be at a resort right on the beach. I am bringing my bathing suit and cover up, but it probably won't be warm enough for me to go in the water.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am still undecided about the trench and scarf or poncho. The trench is dressier but doesn't pack as nicely as at the poncho, and I'll be hanging around the Orlando airport for two hrs. waiting for a friend's plane to arrive, so I'll have to carry it whereas I could just put the poncho in the suitcase...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/traveling-to-florida---what-to-pack#post-1788562 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 03:53:55 +0000 Jaime 1788562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't forget about a/c and the beach breeze in the evening. (I belong to team always cold). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/traveling-to-florida---what-to-pack#post-1788559 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 03:45:41 +0000 Anonymous 1788559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Florida temperatures are about what we are having right now. I'd say trench and scarf. If you will be anywhere near the beach it could be windy and feel cooler than it is. Knits do not cut the wind.<br /> Do you have something to use as a swim suit coverup? And beach shoes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/traveling-to-florida---what-to-pack#post-1788539 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 02:02:12 +0000 rachylou 1788539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder what the Florida peeps will say. I'm tempted to think the poncho would be enough. You've got sweaters for layering if in serious need... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/traveling-to-florida---what-to-pack#post-1788537 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 01:53:51 +0000 Karie 1788537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm heading out to Melbourne, Florida tomorrow for a destination wedding. Daytime temps will be mid to upper 70's and evening temps will be in the 50's. I'll be gone for 4 days, with the morning of the 1st and 4th days spent in flight (so really 2 full days in FL plus the afternoon/evening of the first day). Here's what I'm packing:</p> <p>For the flights: Gap resolution jeans, J Crew popover tunic (the sleeves fold down to full length (for cold airplane temps) and fold up to the shorter length (for warm Florida). This outfit's pretty plain so I'll add the chunky pearl necklace and a pair of patterned flat shoes (not pictured, but similar to the SE snakeskin flats).</p> <p>For the rehearsal dinner: I'm bring the tube skit for the rehearsal dinner, and will wear it with the J Crew printed drapey popover top and the matching Caryn cardi for AC/cooler evening temps. The chunky pearl necklace and a stack of pearl bracelets will add some bling.</p> <p>For the wedding, I'm wearing the Talbots dress in my Finds, with a short black sweater (similar to the J Crew ones but a little shorter) for the AC (wedding is outdoor, reception is indoor) and for when it gets cooler in the evening. The chunky pearl necklace will bookend the white/tan Franko Sarto's that will be on my feet. </p> <p>For the beach day: The J Crew shorts with the embroidered front tee, and for the cooler evening, the Gap boyfriend jeans. </p> <p>Extras: I'm bringing the BR V hem top along just in case of any unexpected surprises (spills, stains, rips, etc) as it can be worn with the jeans, crops, and skirt. </p> <p>For my feet: The Franco Sarto's (for the dress, skirt, and boyfriend jeans), flip flops (for the shorts and bathing suit) and my SE patterned flats (jeans/airport/if my feet are cold).</p> <p>I wasn't going to bring a coat, just the poncho. <b>Do you think this is a mistake? </b>I do have a lightweight black and white trench (not pictured) that I could bring instead of the poncho. I thought the poncho would be better for the plane since it wraps like a blanket (and folds up small to go in the suitcase). I<b>'m thinking about bringing the scarf,</b> but probably won't need it for the plane if I wear the poncho.</p> <p>Also, <b>should I bring the silver Trina sandals to wear with the dress?</b> That would be the only thing I would wear them with as I don't like cold feet, and I think it will be too cold to wear them with the skirt to the rehearsal dinner in the evening.</p> <p>Everything fits in a carry on. <b>So what say you? Poncho or trench and scarf? Sandals for one time wear or leave them home?</b> </p>
