And my old LBD might have worked but I think is&nbsp;a bit too&nbsp;big nowadays, so I figured it was probably&nbsp;a good long-term purchase.</p> <p>And judging by everyone's response to the first couple of looks, it&nbsp;sounds like I made a good decision to start toning down my wardrobe, color-wise,&nbsp;over the last year.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-a-wedding-and-traveling#post-1099068 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 00:51:53 +0000 Anonymous 1099068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's an interesting dress code request, but I guess it all panned out. I might have gotten huffy if it required me to go out and buy something new, but it sounds like you and DH were all set. Love the BR dress on you! And add me to your blue bag's list of admirers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-a-wedding-and-traveling#post-1098932 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 23:17:17 +0000 bj1111 1098932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love 1and 2. &nbsp;that cobalt quilted bag is da bomb. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-a-wedding-and-traveling#post-1098825 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 20:43:41 +0000 Dee 1098825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>E, thanks! You're clearly made of stronger stuff than I. I had bought a puffer back when I lived in Pennsylvania because I couldn't even handle the cold there.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hestonian, thanks so much and&nbsp;good luck with your packing! I hate travelling with too much luggage, so I try really hard not to overpack, but I also like variety, so&nbsp;it's difficult. I hope your travels go well!</p> <p>Rachylou, I understand about the orange. It's definitely&nbsp;outside of my normal color palette, but I was mostly attracted to it because it's so different from my usual purples and teals, if that makes sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-a-wedding-and-traveling#post-1098817 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 20:34:12 +0000 rachylou 1098817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 &amp; 2 are super cute! I like your coat, in #4. </p> <p>#3 - I'm not sure how I feel about that hard orange colour on you...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-a-wedding-and-traveling#post-1098799 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 20:11:58 +0000 Hestonian 1098799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice looks! As I was beginning to pack for my own upcoming travels, I re-looked at your post to see how you achieved such different looks from your traveling outfits. Thanks for the inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-a-wedding-and-traveling#post-1098791 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 20:03:46 +0000 E 1098791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your wedding outfit!&nbsp;&nbsp;One of my cousins got married last month and requested everyone wear white or cream (she wore a black dress as she's goth), which I thought was a bit odd. I couldn't make it to the ceremony though so I don't know how many complied!</p> <p>The polka dots on your tank are so fun and those Naturaliser boots are adorable. What a beautiful purple coat too: too bad you can't wear it more often! I'm beginning to realise I might need a puffer for when I move north, although I made it through 4 Midwest winters in just wool coats. We'll see! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-a-wedding-and-traveling#post-1098702 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 18:43:19 +0000 Dee 1098702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Tracina! My only regret about short hair is not doing it sooner.</p> <p>And thanks Ceit! The bag was a Christmas gift from my husband last year.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-a-wedding-and-traveling#post-1098666 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 18:24:18 +0000 Anonymous 1098666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit for the wedding was cute! Your travel outfits are good too. That blue bag is lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-a-wedding-and-traveling#post-1098642 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 18:13:01 +0000 Anonymous 1098642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair looks cute that way.&nbsp; Great casual travel capsule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-a-wedding-and-traveling#post-1098637 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 18:08:30 +0000 Dee 1098637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I headed back to the US&nbsp;from Calgary&nbsp;last weekend for a friend's wedding and to be able to&nbsp;spend&nbsp;some time with friends/family for Thanksgiving. The invitation said the wedding&nbsp;colors were red and grey and that "matching the theme is preferred."&nbsp;I'd never seen this kind of request before, but the&nbsp;wallpaper where the ceremony was held was a bright red and white paisley, so it made sense when we got there - everything else would have clashed!&nbsp;</p> <p>1) Wedding attire:&nbsp;Banana Republic dress with built-in neckline bling, Vaneli red patent&nbsp;kitten heels in a nod to the wedding colors. My husband (and most&nbsp;of the other men) wore red ties.&nbsp;</p> <p>And a few&nbsp;casual outfits to round out the trip so far&nbsp;(I tend to pack pretty casually when not travelling for work):<br />2) Casual outfit for travelling day of the wedding: Gap boyfriend jeans and tee, Kate Spade bag, Converse.<br />3) Another casual outfit. Loft cardigan and tank (I miss this store in Calgary!), Lucky brand straight leg jeans, Naturalier boots.<br />4) Non-puffer based outwear! Another thing I've missed in Calgary lately. JCrew wool coat and scarf worn over outfit 3.</p> <p>Thanks for looking and I appreciate any thoughts/comments! </p>
