I added it in Finds, mine is from last year and doesn’t have the red emblem on it. I like it so much I’m thinking about getting a second one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vacation-wardrobe-in-action-what-worked-what-didn%e2%80%99t#post-2331915 Mon, 24 Jul 2023 02:01:29 +0000 Carla 2331915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Back to say that your thread was the kick in the pants I needed to get going on a beach/vacation capsule. &nbsp;Now, a question for you! &nbsp;What did you use for a cover up (if you used one) over your bathing suit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vacation-wardrobe-in-action-what-worked-what-didn%e2%80%99t#post-2331851 Sun, 23 Jul 2023 19:37:37 +0000 hereforthecake 2331851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great group of items and a great job of mixing &amp; matching!

You are so kind, I’m blushing!<br /> Kyle, yes, we have several more cruises booked already.<br /> Cardiff girl, yes, it is satisfying when you pack well. I hate bringing home a lot of unworn clothing.<br /> Unfrumped, tankinis and shorts are my favorite type of swimwear.<br /> Unfrumped and Mary Beth, I also dislike putting on a wet bathing suit. And in a cruise ship cabin, swimwear never dries completely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vacation-wardrobe-in-action-what-worked-what-didn%e2%80%99t#post-2331737 Sat, 22 Jul 2023 21:00:43 +0000 Irina 2331737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely color, looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vacation-wardrobe-in-action-what-worked-what-didn%e2%80%99t#post-2331700 Sat, 22 Jul 2023 18:31:19 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2331700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All these outfits are fantastic, Karie!

Thank you!<br /> Looks kind a great trip, and overall successful packing.<br /> I hear you on swimsuits- I hate wriggling into a damp suit. And , since swimsuits are “ hard” for me- I wear mostly tankini/shorts types but even so am on the lookout for the best versions- I tend to take only my faves and leave the second- stringers at home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vacation-wardrobe-in-action-what-worked-what-didn%e2%80%99t#post-2331660 Sat, 22 Jul 2023 14:38:48 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2331660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like I'm watching "Barbie's Dream Cruise"!&nbsp; &nbsp;Love it!&nbsp; You look adorable &lt;3&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>I always pack extra swimsuits when I'm travelling, because 1) I'm an optimist and 2) you never know when there's going to be two swimming things happening in one day, and there's just something really great about putting on a clean dry suit (so you can mess it up with fresh sunscreen and pool or saltwater).&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vacation-wardrobe-in-action-what-worked-what-didn%e2%80%99t#post-2331637 Sat, 22 Jul 2023 05:08:20 +0000 slim cat 2331637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All looks great - the outfits, the pink hair, the happy couple' pics!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vacation-wardrobe-in-action-what-worked-what-didn%e2%80%99t#post-2331629 Sat, 22 Jul 2023 04:15:50 +0000 Barbara Diane 2331629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Returning with only 2 unworn items is excellent packing. Congrats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vacation-wardrobe-in-action-what-worked-what-didn%e2%80%99t#post-2331618 Sat, 22 Jul 2023 00:49:26 +0000 Karie 2331618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! Yes, Rachylou, just one formal night. They had a “casual dressy” night but that really wasn’t much different than the every evening “smart casual” dress code. </p> <p>The fashion on the cruise ship, which I neglected to mention in my post, was actually very interesting. Even though there is a dress code on cruise ships, especially at dinner, it really wasn’t enforced. I saw plenty of people in shorts and tees, but a lot wore dressier outfits. And I saw several women on formal night in full-on glittery evening gowns. It was a feast for the fashion lover’s eyes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vacation-wardrobe-in-action-what-worked-what-didn%e2%80%99t#post-2331613 Sat, 22 Jul 2023 00:28:55 +0000 rachylou 2331613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally cute, Lilly for the win!</p> <p>Out of curiosity, only one formal night? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vacation-wardrobe-in-action-what-worked-what-didn%e2%80%99t#post-2331597 Fri, 21 Jul 2023 22:48:45 +0000 Carla 2331597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the streak of pink in your hair, and how it compliments your outfits. &nbsp;Especially like the first dress/outfit and the pink sweater. &nbsp;I hope there are more cruises in your future.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/vacation-wardrobe-in-action-what-worked-what-didn%e2%80%99t#post-2331596 Fri, 21 Jul 2023 22:45:21 +0000 JP 2331596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits!

Here’s what worked and what didn’t, and what I’ll do differently next time:</p> <p>Three Dresses: I really only needed two. The dress in pic 1 was perfect for hot weather, it kept me cool and comfortable. The dress in pic 3 was perfect for formal night (unfortunately I didn’t get a picture of DH and me all dressed up, just this not-so-great mirror selfie). I brought an additional sundress that only got worn once, really I didn’t need it at all.</p> <p>One skort, one skirt (pics 4-7) Yes! I was very glad to have both of these. I brought two white shirts and two graphic tees to go with these. The skort was my travel outfit. We had a 3 hour drive to and from the port in Bayonne, NJ, and the skort was great for that, and the first day/night on the ship. </p> <p>Pic 8 was my lounge wear outfit (aka what I wore to sleep in). I ended up throwing on a sweater and going on the deck to watch the ship leave port one night. </p> <p>Pic 9: I brought one bathing suit, and one tankini and board shorts (not pictured). Not enough! Next time I will pack at least three or four bathing suits, as they get worn every day. </p> <p>Pic 10: White capris (pic taken pre trip). I wore these twice, with the pink/red shirt and with a graphic tee (not pictured).</p> <p>I packed three lightweight sweaters (white, pink, gray) and wore them a lot in the air conditioned areas on the ship. Three was perfect.</p> <p>I didn’t bring shorts as I wanted to be a bit dressier, but next time I will throw a pair in the suitcase. They are needed for the cruise ship’s zip line (I wore my longer swim/board shorts and that was OK).</p> <p>I ended the trip with only one tee and blouse not worn, so I’m getting better at packing. Next up is a 12 day extended family camping trip, with an entirely different style of clothing - shorts and tees, swim suits, hiking gear! </p>
