You look fabulous in those pink/coral colours. And Domino is on point.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-orleans#post-1715917 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 11:25:22 +0000 Anonymous 1715917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like you did a brilliant job packing! Perfect choices for weather and style. I always shy away from packing dresses as I somehow imagine I'll get more versatility from separates, then end up matching them with the same items anyway, so you've taught me to reach for the dresses! I love how great you look in different dress silhouettes--#5 is my fave. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-orleans#post-1715914 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 11:14:28 +0000 skylurker 1715914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're a very dedicated fabber, taking pics at 3:30, kudos :)<br /> Everything work, my faves are #3 and #6, love that colour on you (great combo with khaki and white). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-orleans#post-1715887 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 08:07:22 +0000 celia 1715887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in awe of anyone who can take such a put together photo at 3:30 am.<br /> Your outfits seem very appropriate and very cute.<br /> With rain is always complicated because sometimes you just feel that you should have a pair of boots but if it was in your hometown you would not be wearing boots anyway.<br /> I am happy you had such a great time. Thank you for sharing with us. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-orleans#post-1715878 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 07:46:30 +0000 rachylou 1715878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow.

Yeah, I try to pack an extra layer even when I don't think I will need it because.....you never know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-orleans#post-1715683 Wed, 17 Aug 2016 21:12:04 +0000 Sara L. 1715683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband had a conference in New Orleans this week so the two of us flew out last Friday to spend a couple days in the city together.&nbsp; The kids stayed home with their grandparents.&nbsp; It rained most of the trip and I could have packed better although I didn't do a terrible job.&nbsp; When I looked up the weather it was supposed to be rainy and in the mid-80's, but it was colder than that the first couple days - more like 70's.&nbsp; </p> <p>The trip turned out to be great although I wasn't super excited about it originally.&nbsp; It was too close to getting back from our beach vacation.&nbsp; Also school started for my kids the day before we left and I was more concerned with getting them ready, shopping for school supplies, etc than packing for this trip.</p> <p>#1 - Olive dress and brown sandals for traveling.&nbsp; Our flight left at 5 am (I didn't even know our airport was open that early!) so this photo was taken around 3:30 am before we left the house.&nbsp; I think I look pretty good considering how early it was.&nbsp;</p> <p>#2 -&nbsp;I had a pink sweater I wore over the dress when I got cold (I don't have a full body photo of that version,&nbsp;just this selfie with DH).&nbsp; Since it was raining so hard we spent the day indoors at restaurants (I love the food in NOLA) and museums.&nbsp; </p> <p>#3 - For dinner, I changed into pants and a t-shirt with the same pink sweater.&nbsp; I had brought the pants for the trip back since I was leaving super early again and was going to go to work when I got back to Albuquerque.&nbsp; However, they were perfect for the temps that night.&nbsp; We walked down Bourbon Street after dinner, walked to Frenchmen Street for some music and drinks, and I found an artist's market where I bought a painting for my sister.</p> <p>#4 - Second day - it rained all day this day too but it was a light, drizzly rain, not the downpour of the day before.&nbsp; We wandered around the Garden District, the Lafayette Cemetery, and along the Mississippi River.&nbsp; We had beignets at&nbsp; Cafe du Monde and then walked up and down Royal Street and Bourbon Street before meeting some of DH's coworkers on Frenchmen Street for music and drinks.</p> <p>#5 - Third Day - DH had some conference stuff in the morning so I went to the Ogden Art Museum.&nbsp; It rained this day also but it was short, intense thunderstorms interspersed with sun.&nbsp; We met up for lunch (muffalettas), took the ferry to Algiers Point, had more beignets, and wandered around the French Quarter.</p> <p>#6 - I changed into the poppy dress for dinner since I was hot and sweaty and took a shower after getting back to our room.</p> <p>I took just the two pairs of shoes and they&nbsp;were great for walking and I had no issues with foot pain.&nbsp; Luckily both pairs could get wet without issues too although I was jealous of people in rain boots on the first day when it was pouring down rain.&nbsp; I brought the small brown bag which was big enough for my pink sweater (very thin and scrunches down to nothing), and other essentials.&nbsp; A cardigan for the&nbsp;rainy evenings would have been a nice addition.&nbsp; I brought an extra pair of shorts and a tank that I didn't end up wearing.&nbsp; </p> <p>Thanks for looking and any comments/suggestions are more than welcome.</p> </p>
