Was definitely pushing the limits on the suitcase zipper! </p> <p>LisaP - I really like the W&amp;W. You may need to size down as they are fairly stretchy. Also wash first unless you want blue all over your hands and the rest of your outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---traveling-in-the-vortex#post-1998857 Mon, 04 Feb 2019 14:36:50 +0000 Angie 1998857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no doubt you looked fabulous in these wonderful pieces. Professional and polished. It doesn't matter if you bring a little more stuff sometimes - fun to be spoiled for choice </p> <p></p> <p>Great that the lounge wear and cute sneaks came with you too.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---traveling-in-the-vortex#post-1998856 Mon, 04 Feb 2019 14:34:39 +0000 Angie 1998856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My hat off to you. I'd be hibernating during the polar vortex. Wake me up in Spring.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---traveling-in-the-vortex#post-1998837 Mon, 04 Feb 2019 14:11:12 +0000 Anonymous 1998837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also just added the striped faux wrap top to my overflowing shopping cart. I am now quite obsessed with your wardrobe here.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---traveling-in-the-vortex#post-1998826 Mon, 04 Feb 2019 13:52:26 +0000 nemosmom 1998826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m impressed you fit all of that into a carry-on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---traveling-in-the-vortex#post-1998821 Mon, 04 Feb 2019 13:45:09 +0000 Anonymous 1998821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - you have a really lovely collection of quality pieces here. &nbsp;How are the W&amp;W jeans? &nbsp;I'd like to try them - given the price... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---traveling-in-the-vortex#post-1998819 Mon, 04 Feb 2019 13:39:28 +0000 ChristelJ 1998819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you did amazingly well packing for this! Only one item not worn, you should be proud. Shoes are the carry-on killer. Maybe fewer pairs next time...how did you even fit a pair of tall boots in there? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---traveling-in-the-vortex#post-1998747 Mon, 04 Feb 2019 05:02:14 +0000 Gretchen 1998747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last week was an advanced travel challenge - 3 days in DC with clients during the polar vortex, followed by a long weekend in Denver with specific dressing requirements. The uncertainty of the weather added an extra degree of difficulty. </p> <p>Packed (incl plane wear)<br /> Navy suit<br /> Navy sweater<br /> Navy tweed skirt<br /> Dark cherry sweater dress and cardigan<br /> Blue stripe sweater<br /> White t shirt<br /> Navy t shirt<br /> Skinny jeans<br /> Bootcut jeans<br /> Popover blouse (it’s pink, not the black in finds)<br /> Balllet sweater (it’s red, not the stripe in finds)<br /> Maroon 1/4 zip<br /> Sweatpants<br /> LS workout tee<br /> Navy knee high boots<br /> Blondo short boots<br /> Navy flats<br /> White tennis shoes</p> <p>I also loaded up on tights (which I rarely wear) and socks, as well as a puffy jacket.</p> <p>What worked: decent variety to support business formal to polished casual looks, was very comfortable for all day meetings/conference attendance, had coverage for different weather options.</p> <p>What didn’t work: did not wear the stripe sweater, 4 pairs of shoes is a lot for a 6 day trip. </p> <p>Next time I want to do a little more planning and see if I can streamline more. Everything fit in a carryon, but it was heavy! </p> <p>Thanks for any feedback. </p>
