Karen, your trip sounds amazing.  It is very challenging to pack for different climates and for unpredictable climates.  Florida is extremely casual.  Very few people dress up when they go out to a restaurant.  It may be different in the larger cities like Miami but where we go wearing jeans or even shorts is acceptable. Christina, thanks for the tip.  The weather in Ontario in April is the same as NYC.  I am prepared for both.  I am hoping we don't have a snowstorm.   Sara, thanks for the vote of confidence.  We will see how this works out.  I planned the capsule for a couple of weeks.  Suz, thank you!  I will post some WIWs and I will definitely do one with the swirly skirt. Angie, thank you!  Sophie would love Sam as a travel companion.  She is extremely friendly.  Jump in.  :)  The warmth feels amazing.  St. Aug has great Yoga. TG, thank you!  I find I don't get bored with my travel capsules if I pack carefully.  I might post about that at the end of the trip. Sarah, having a cohesive colour palette makes packing and shopping easier in some ways.  Picking the palette was a bit torturous.  I did that a few years ago.  (Thankfully) Aurore, thank you.  We are looking forward to our trip. Chris, Sophie is coming with us.  Yes, we have done this trip before.  This is our 5th year going to St. Aug for Feb and Mar.  Actually the first year we only went for Feb.  I really like getting away from the winter.       -40 C is really too much for me.  Putting all my clothes on and then Sophie's boots, etc. to go for a walk that last 5 to 10 mins is not fun. La Ped, while we are on the road we try to find Yoga classes when we can.  Once we get to St Aug we are there for 2 months.  There is an excellent Yoga studio in St Aug and I go once a day.  I have done my own practice but it is not the same as being in a class. Mainelady, thank you!  I will try and post some WIWs.  10 weeks is heavenly.    Elizabeth P on "Winter 2018 Travel Capsule" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-2018-travel-capsule#post-1882505 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 03:13:26 +0000 Elizabeth P 1882505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great capsule SF. One question though, do you not have a need for a lightweight casual jacket? A trench seems dressy, and a puffer warm. I’m thinking denim or fleece weight Style Fan on "Winter 2018 Travel Capsule" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-2018-travel-capsule#post-1882459 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 00:41:31 +0000 Style Fan 1882459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sorry to post and run.  I am in Charleston, NC and we went on a walking tour.  I will come back and respond to everyone tomorrow.  Good walking shoes are very important. karen13 on "Winter 2018 Travel Capsule" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-2018-travel-capsule#post-1882347 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 20:09:14 +0000 karen13 1882347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The different climates are such a challenge. DH and I did a 10 week trip with 6 weeks of winter skiing in the Alps with 4 weeks of spring European city touring (it was his company sabbatical - so amazing), all traveling by train and I definitely had to compromise. This looks great and covers all the bases you mention. Do you have  need for very dressy (fancy restaurant dinner?). Christina F. on "Winter 2018 Travel Capsule" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-2018-travel-capsule#post-1882311 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 18:27:54 +0000 Christina F. 1882311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Keep an eye on the NYC weather. It can be anything from warm-ish to a snowstorm. Sara L. on "Winter 2018 Travel Capsule" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-2018-travel-capsule#post-1882254 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 16:36:34 +0000 Sara L. 1882254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It's amazing that you can pack for such a long trip with such different climates.  I would be completely overwhelmed and bring all the wrong items.  This is so impressive. Suz on "Winter 2018 Travel Capsule" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-2018-travel-capsule#post-1882252 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 16:35:04 +0000 Suz 1882252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Have a wonderful trip! This looks like a terrific capsule, very practical yet fun. Let us know how the swirly skirt works out!  Angie on "Winter 2018 Travel Capsule" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-2018-travel-capsule#post-1882220 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 15:21:47 +0000 Angie 1882220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ *APPLAUSE* You have got this down, Earthy Casual Bombshell. Have a wonderful trip, and much love to you. xo (Ahem. You forgot to pack me and Sam in your suitcase.....we want a warm weather holiday too).

An excellent argument for building your wardrobe around a tight color palette. Aurore on "Winter 2018 Travel Capsule" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-2018-travel-capsule#post-1882176 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 12:45:22 +0000 Aurore 1882176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This sounds like an amazing vacation project! I hope you'll make the most of it! Capsule-wise, I love the base color palette you chose, and the fact that you added touches of golden yellow and amber.   Chris987 on "Winter 2018 Travel Capsule" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-2018-travel-capsule#post-1882175 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 12:39:15 +0000 Chris987 1882175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a very cohesive capsule you have planned.  You have done this trip before, haven't you :-) I love the idea of trips like this, where you leave home in mid to late winter when it's still pretty cold and come back home in spring. And "cold" in Florida in Feb/March is not all that cold when you're from a northern climate! Does Sophie travel with you? LaPed on "Winter 2018 Travel Capsule" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-2018-travel-capsule#post-1882165 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 11:29:09 +0000 LaPed 1882165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sounds like a fun trip! And it looks like your capsule will serve you well across a range of temperatures. How do you figure out yoga classes to attend while you're traveling? Or are you mostly self-directed in your practice? Mainelady on "Winter 2018 Travel Capsule" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-2018-travel-capsule#post-1882157 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 11:01:31 +0000 Mainelady 1882157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ First off, have fabulous vacations! Ooh, ten weeks sounds absolutely heavenly! I think your capsule is well thought out and very thorough. I am quite fond of your color palate and think you will have ample outfit choices. I hope you will share some pics of your fav outfits after you return.
