I just got a suitcase. I should have thought about a backpack type... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-boots-with-plaid-skirt-bag-pics#post-1405841 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 17:49:37 +0000 Astrid 1405841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Elly! Replacing the pullovers isn't urgent, so I can wait for the right one, but hopefully it won't take too long. And yes, the backpack is so much better than the duffel. I like my duffel bag, but it's only comfortable to carry for a longer time when I packed really light. I think I won't have to worry that much about it with the new bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-boots-with-plaid-skirt-bag-pics#post-1405786 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 14:39:41 +0000 Elly 1405786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How awesome! I'm glad you are enjoying the carry-on backpack. Mine is not nearly as techinically nice, but it is such a break after a duffel. Isn't O sweet? And I do hope you have luck finding a replacement pullover or 2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-boots-with-plaid-skirt-bag-pics#post-1405783 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 14:32:41 +0000 Astrid 1405783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Darkilla!</p> <p>Thanks Diane! Yes, the color is great. I will see if I find a jacket/shirt/pullover in that color going forward. I still have that happy feeling about cutting my hair off, it's great. I'm feeling really good with the short hair. And yes, definitely going to enjoy the wine. It was a lovely surprise for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-boots-with-plaid-skirt-bag-pics#post-1405725 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 11:20:07 +0000 Anonymous 1405725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shame about the sweater as I love the colour for you. Your whole outfit looks great... I'm really loving your hair you know Fab birthday present too.. perfect for your needs. That Ornella is a sweetie eh? enjoy the wine </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-boots-with-plaid-skirt-bag-pics#post-1405716 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 09:16:13 +0000 darkilla 1405716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice outfit. love the bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-boots-with-plaid-skirt-bag-pics#post-1405701 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 07:44:36 +0000 Astrid 1405701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Texstyle! I'll keep my eyes peeled for one. Wool, the right color and not too long - that might be a difficult one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-boots-with-plaid-skirt-bag-pics#post-1405524 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 22:35:16 +0000 texstyle 1405524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit Astrid, I can see why you like it. And your new bag looks perfect! I hope you can find another sweater in that same color tone as it is a perfect color on you.&nbsp; And your hair is looking really good too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-boots-with-plaid-skirt-bag-pics#post-1405474 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 21:20:12 +0000 Astrid 1405474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Carter! Yes, I think the boots were a great buy for sure. The bag is just for travel, it's definitely too big for everyday use. I also have a 30L backpack which is completely soft and can be compressed to be rather small, see the pic below. I use that one for the odd day when I need to carry more or for grocery shopping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-boots-with-plaid-skirt-bag-pics#post-1405470 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 21:08:34 +0000 carter 1405470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfit! You look wonderful. So glad you got the boots. Great bag too. Will you use it just for travel, or does it have daily uses as a backpack too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-boots-with-plaid-skirt-bag-pics#post-1405456 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 20:40:42 +0000 Astrid 1405456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are the new boots with my plaid skirt. I love this outfit, although I sadly realised that <i>both</i> this one and the blue pullover will need to be replaced some time soon. There are holes under the arms. Not so great. I wonder if I just hadn't seen them before or if they're new? Although the quality of these wasn't awesome to start with, I think it's because they're not pure wool but some kind of mixed content... So I think I need to start looking for one cropped wool pullover to replace the two. </p> <p>And I thought I'd post some pics of my birthday present! I got the Osprey Farpoint 40, see <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-color-for-carry-on" rel="nofollow">here</a>. They sent the wrong size first, so I didn't get to keep the one I unwrapped. It was the size M/L which was too long in the back. So I reordered the S/M which is a great fit. But it all ended well - my dad loved the bag so much he decided to keep the size M/L. He wants to use it for his school trips. We're bag twins now! </p> <p>So if anyone is interested in a carryon compliant bag without wheels, this one is great! It has really good backpack straps that can be zipped away and it opens in the front, so you can pack it and access it like a suitecase. The size is 38L, which is plenty. My current black bag is 32L. It's empty in the pics, but I think you get a good idea about the scale (I'm 5'3'' for reference).</p> <p>I also got a belated birthday present from Ornella today. She read my birthday thread and then got me a lovely bottle of Merlot. </p>
