Your packing list looks fine to me, though if you're hiking you might consider adding another bottoms that will work better for that. And maybe another light top to layer under the holey sweater, which you could pop on over a hiking outfit if needed. I hear you on uninspired packing; I have an upcoming cruise for a friend's wedding coming up in a couple weeks and just can't seem to get myself motivated to figure out what to bring. Including what I'll be wearing the wedding itself, I have nothing -_- Hope you have some good shopping in HK! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninspired-to-pack#post-924279 Fri, 03 May 2013 17:16:46 +0000 rachylou 924279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Bon voyage!

I did all the substitutions I mentioned and am on my way to the airport now. See you all in 2 weeks! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninspired-to-pack#post-924111 Fri, 03 May 2013 13:39:09 +0000 Sara L. 924111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think your outfits for the trip look good.&nbsp; There's nothing wrong with taking favorites.&nbsp; They're favorites for a reason - they look good and make you look good. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninspired-to-pack#post-923971 Fri, 03 May 2013 05:41:37 +0000 Charmian 923971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Nah, no green scarves. &nbsp;My scarf wardrobe is quite deficient, but maybe some time in HK will fix that :). https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninspired-to-pack#post-923967 Fri, 03 May 2013 05:19:53 +0000 rachylou 923967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Any green scarves?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninspired-to-pack#post-923958 Fri, 03 May 2013 04:46:56 +0000 DonnaF 923958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Maybe a little voice is telling you to keep yourself occupied by clothes shopping while DH is working, so why bother stressing out about packing?&nbsp; You can pick up *souvenirs* there!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uninspired-to-pack#post-923950 Fri, 03 May 2013 04:22:43 +0000 Charmian 923950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It's no secret that <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-hong-kong-shopping">I went to HK last year</a> for an amazing 4 months studying abroad. &nbsp;Coincidentally, my husband will be going there for business tomorrow and&nbsp;I figured, hey, think of it as a&nbsp;50% off a plane ticket ...&nbsp;so I'm going out there&nbsp;with him. &nbsp;We're going to spend 10 days there,&nbsp;in situations&nbsp;ranging from light hiking to a press conference.&nbsp; Temperatures will range from the 18 - 25C&nbsp;(65 - 80 F), which is perfect for li'l ol' me who runs super duper cold (ugh, HK AC is going to be ferocious). &nbsp;But&nbsp;I've been there before; I know&nbsp;the climate, the environmental challenges, the aesthetic&nbsp;... easy&nbsp;peasy, right?<br /><br />Well, no.&nbsp;&nbsp;I've been feeling uninspired to shop this past season and it's spilling out into my dressing and -- by extension -- my packing.&nbsp; Here's my half-hearted attempt to put together clothing for 10 days, which is&nbsp;mostly just falling back on classic favourites. &nbsp;<br /><br />** Tops **<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---does-this-modern-classic-knob-go-to-11">Long-sleeve breton</a>, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-skinnies-4-ways">sparkly dolman sweater</a> (very airy), <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-cheated-on-ylf-advice">white silk blouse</a>, blue striped tee, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/back-from-hong-kong-shopping">holey sweater</a>. &nbsp;There's also a&nbsp;gray t-shirt with my company's logo, under the shoes, in case I get roped into the press event (otherwise, I'll just wear it for sleeping).<br /><br />** Bottoms **<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formal-friday-work---which-outfit">Drapy black trousers</a>, straight-legged jeans, linen bermudas.<br /><br />*** Toppers, layers, shoes,&nbsp;etc ***<br />Red/purple scarf, black and blush layering tanks,&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-shoes">dalmation smoking flats</a>, black cons. &nbsp;<i>Not pictured</i>: trench coat or&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-express-minus-the-leather-jackets">pleather moto</a>, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-nov-14-18-humour-inspired">gray saddlebag purse</a>,&nbsp;taupe belt, PJ pants,&nbsp;undies.<br /><br />That's it. &nbsp;I might make the following substitutions, but as you can see there's nothing ground-breaking here.<br /><ul><li>The scarf doesn't quite work with the&nbsp;soft palette, so it might get replaced. &nbsp;</li><li>I'm still undecided between a pleather moto or a trench.</li><li>I'm not really jazzed about hiking in bermudas or jeans, so my pajama bottoms&nbsp;might get subbed out for technical shorts.</li></ul>Any other substitutions/additions/removals I ought to consider? &nbsp;Or tips to get excited again about trip packing or shopping?<br />
