They keep me cool and protected even on hot days and can be worn multiple days without washing because they seem to stay fresher than knit shirts. Plus you can layer them so much easier. It's fun to hear and see someone else have the same discovery! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition/page/2#post-409105 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 02:05:30 +0000 Aida 409105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*giggle* I was surprised no one commented on my husband's hair either, Brenda! He cut it off a day or two before we left and went from having the longest hair to the shortest! For some reason, hair dressers always cut his bangs super short and blunt which I don't think flatter his face shape; this one did a fantastic job with the cut, it's probably the best short hair cut I've seen him in. Glad you like it too :D</p> <p>As for wrinkles, I made sure to fold carefully when packing so that the clothes could flatten out some of the wrinkles, but really... everything just got super wrinkly. So I just rolled with it, not much else I could do </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition/page/2#post-409103 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 01:53:55 +0000 qfbrenda 409103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! It's fun seeing some of our stomping grounds, like Snoqualmie Pass that we just went across a few days ago, and the Palouse.... hubby and I both graduated from WSU in Pullman. </p> <p>The button down shirts look great, but how did you deal with wrinkles? </p> <p>And I can't believe no one else commented (that I saw) on your hubby's new hair! Or lack there of. He looks great with short hair. Is it ok to say that?? LOL I just remember all of your pics with his longer hair and was having trouble finding him in some of the pics until I saw one with the both of you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition/page/2#post-409091 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 01:30:11 +0000 Aida 409091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jonesy I think this is another good example of how packing your closet with things that fit and flatter is so important! With less flattering items, I would look frumpy in a heartbeat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition/page/2#post-409058 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 00:46:56 +0000 Jonesy 409058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such glorious pics, and you manage to look amazing! So well put together and stylish, given the serious constraints you are dealing with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition/page/2#post-408977 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 21:53:47 +0000 Aida 408977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Denise and Andrea! :D</p> <p>Denise, the Grand Canyon is beautiful! I have only been once and would love to go back, and especially to do one of the hikes/horse rides down into the canyon. I hope you're able to make that trip, I'm sure you'd have a blast!</p> <p>Andrea, thanks ^^ I will admit it gets harder to look good the longer the trip goes on, hehe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition/page/2#post-408641 Sun, 21 Aug 2011 23:26:20 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 408641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what a super fun trip! I am so jealous. And what's more, all day on a bike and you still manage to look fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition#post-408615 Sun, 21 Aug 2011 21:05:01 +0000 CocoLion 408615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing the details and photos of your trip. It makes me want to take a cross-country road trip with my bf, the Grand Canyon being one of my goals (went to Yellowstone 7 years ago). I love the way you look in the blue button down and bandana scarf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition#post-405204 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 22:35:48 +0000 Aida 405204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay I'm so glad you all enjoyed the photos Thank you for all the wonderful comments and thoughts, I really loved reading everything &lt;3 For everyone who hasn't seen Yellowstone, do it! You won't regret it! ^^</p> <p>Janet - It is a lot of fun! If you haven't done any really long trips sitting on the back, I highly advise doing a few 120ish mile rides to get a feel for it and build up some muscle stamina (back and butt muscles can get pretty sore!). 350 miles a day is a good number; you can take time to see pretty things, eat normal meals, and still get a good distance away from your previous day :)</p> <p>Rae - Ohhh EVERYthing wrinkled, hehe! I tried to pack everything as flat as possible to try and combat it, which helped because everything was packed so tightly.</p> <p>Heather - You know, if you're the only one on your bike you get TWICE as much space so you can pack a lot more! Just saying 0:)</p> <p>Ornella - We've driven through a LOT of agriculture on the bike, and one of the most amazing things we discovered is that you can SMELL many of the crops! Scent-wise my favorite was onions, but those wheat fields are just breathtaking especially when it's ALL that you can see for miles around. As for packing, I'm the family packer as well Though my sister was always better at Tetris...</p> <p>Polly - *giggle* Well thank you, you know how to make a gal blush ^^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition#post-405182 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 21:54:27 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 405182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing photos of a clearly wonderful trip!</p> <p>Perhaps we should have an 'Aida's motorcycle trip photos picture perfect challenge'! So much inspiration there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition#post-405178 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 21:48:40 +0000 san 405178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just beautiful!! Thank you so much for sharing these pictures with us. It looks like so much fun to go on a motorcycle trip like this. You and hubby are so cute together. How in the world do you look so good while on trip like this? It would be easy to just give up and wear sweats all the way but you mastered it in a very stylish way! Good for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition#post-405140 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 20:35:28 +0000 Lisa 405140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous scenery! Thanks for sharing! And I really like your button down shirt idea, instantly more polished than a LS T-shirt would have been. Just super job here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition#post-405100 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 19:22:19 +0000 yellowgirl 405100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, you are one chic biker chick! Thanks so much for sharing your pictures with us - it looks like such a fun trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition#post-405097 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 19:18:28 +0000 MsMary 405097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, wow, wow!! 2 fab 4 words!!</p> <p>My Target chambray shirt is sulking because it never gets to go on cool trips like that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition#post-404959 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 14:46:56 +0000 Ornella 404959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh dear, where do I start?? Thank you for taking us on the amazing trip with you. And introducing us to your friends. And taking time to create these wonderful collages of spectacular scenery and fun times you've had. I read all your descriptions and then checked the photos, group by group, it was a good tactics to take it all in.</p> <p>Your ability to look that good on a bike is beyond admirable. And yellow shirt in Yellowstone... pure sartorial fun!</p> <p>I had to laugh at your comment about wheat being your favourite crop to drive through. I never thought of that! We have a lot of <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=rapeseed&amp;oe=utf-8&amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&amp;client=firefox-a&amp;um=1&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;tbm=isch&amp;source=og&amp;sa=N&amp;hl=en&amp;tab=wi&amp;biw=1280&amp;bih=834">rapeseed fields</a> around my area and I always feel so energized when we drive by them (shiny, bright, golden), but I never consciously formed a though about the experience.</p> <p>And then the comment about playing Tetris when repacking. By this point I was in tears (laughing!). I so know what you're talking about. My MIL thinks I'm a packing genius, but I myself never knew what the process was called. Well, guess what... next time my head is deep in the car boot, at least I’ll laugh thanks to you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition#post-404935 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 14:20:16 +0000 Heather 404935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, these photos are breathtaking! And what a fun trip with your friends. </p> <p>I, too, love you in that gold gingham blouse. </p> <p>I'm buying a bike and coming to vacay with you and your posse. My bike will need a wagon because I am NOT a good packer. ;D </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition#post-404921 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 14:01:51 +0000 morethanbeige 404921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing your trip with us. Such beautiful scenery. And you look so happy and carefree. Love your fashion shots. Yes, great mustard shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition#post-404908 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 13:38:06 +0000 rae 404908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, these pics are all so gorgeous!!! You look so happy and relaxed - and the button-fronts really look good, too. How did you keep them from wrinkling?? Amazing. You and the hubs are totally cute together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition#post-404898 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 13:19:58 +0000 Queen Mum 404898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>such great photos. I've really enjoyed looking through them. I haven't been to Yellowstone since I was a child... one of these years we're going to plan to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition#post-404893 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 13:06:17 +0000 Anonymous 404893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are the coolest Easy Rider ever! Only you could look this polished on a motorcycle trip. I'm adding Yellowstone to my bucket list. Thanks for sharing all the pictures of the gorgeous scenery. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition#post-404888 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 12:36:04 +0000 Janet 404888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, I've also got to say this is making me want to take a long motorcycle trip with my husband. He got an Indian last year and absolutely adores it. He just recently got the backrest attached, so I can ride on the back more comfortably. It is so much fun, I try to put all my safety worries aside! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition#post-404836 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 05:26:46 +0000 Kari 404836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That trip looks like such a blast! I've never been to Yellowstone, but it is on my must-see list.</p> <p>You and your hubby are the *cutest.* And look at you all stylish even as you are on a long motorcycle trip! Wow. Way to go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition#post-404834 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 05:23:54 +0000 Aida 404834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet - Ohhh Janet those photos are so stunning!! Thank you for the link. I'm especially enamored of all the rust shots, I did a similar series a few years ago when I first really got into photography. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your photography style, mine is similar but not nearly as pro as yours ^^ (My husband always lovingly mocks how all my photos are abstracts, hehe)</p> <p>DesmoApril - My solution to combat helmet hair was to ruffle it all up (it was braided), and if it was a longer stop put it in a high pony as soon as the helmet came off. On the down side, I had to learn to rebraid super duper quickly so I wasn't holding everyone up just so I could avoid helmet hair ;)</p> <p>Angie - I'm really getting into this yellow! I always thought it wouldn't work for me so I'm so happy it does. *giggle* No photos of me driving the bike, if I wanted to learn to ride my husband would probably buy me a bike so he could still drive </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition#post-404824 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 04:34:11 +0000 Angie 404824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh!!! How Stunning! WOW! Thanks for sharing your beautiful collages with us, Aida. I really like you in that mustard yellow. </p> <p>Now lets see the other pics. The ones where you're riding the bike with hubby at the back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition#post-404815 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 04:04:44 +0000 Desmo April 404815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great shoots! I have NEVER managed to look that put together on a long bike trip, I'm impressed. I'm also jealous of your seeming avoidance of massive helmet hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition#post-404814 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 04:03:39 +0000 Janet 404814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! Thanks for sharing these, Aida. You had me hooked from the moment I saw those rolling hills of the Palouse -- I was out there last fall, after the harvest, and it looks very different then. </p> <p>Great scenery and action pics, and you look amazingly put-together for being on a motorcycle trip! </p> <p>If you're at all interested, here are some pics from my big coast-to-coast-to-coast road trip last year, although it was a Prius and a trailer, not a motorcycle. :-)<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/janetlittle/sets/72157624829089102/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/j.....829089102/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition#post-404804 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 03:37:49 +0000 Aida 404804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, each side saddlebag is ~27L (metric volume, sheesh) which equates to Not Very Big Here's a photo from the SF trip earlier this year. Happily it was hot for this trip so I didn't need to pack much in the way of bulky layers, those summer items are nice and thin! The stuff I listed above along with a toiletries bag was all that fit in my saddle bag, and it was snug! We had all the camping gear in the back case which is like 55L. As for actual packing, it's like playing Tetris and I had to repack it just the same way each morning. Long motorcycle trips are the hardest packing challenge I've had to face!</p> <p>EDIT: You can see them on the bike in photo #14, center center. Not Very Big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition#post-404793 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 03:20:43 +0000 catgirl 404793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic photos, Aida - it's like we're riding along with you! How big is a saddlebag? I'm always interesting in packing tips, and that sounds like a challenging size for having to bring warm clothes along. </p> <p>You look great and seem to be having so much fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition#post-404789 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 03:08:17 +0000 Suz 404789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Amazing scenery...not to mention the sartorial splendour! You look completely put together and comfortable. Great packing! Love that yellow check shirt on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0720-26-yellowstone-motorcycle-trip-edition#post-404781 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 02:54:53 +0000 Aida 404781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>cjh - We rode through a corner of Yellowstone last summer on our way home from Sturgis and just HAD to go back for a dedicated trip! I fully agree with you about how challenging it is to pack AND look good on a long trip; I'm still working on it The yellow gingham top is from Old Navy, <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?searchCID=68131&amp;vid=1&amp;pid=839428&amp;scid=839428002">this one here</a>; I want to get the aqua, too! (On the Sturgis trip we had one day at 650 miles... it was brutal! Our long trips tend to be 350-500 a day, though 350ish is ideal for me; my husband, on the other hand, can ride ad infinitum).</p> <p>Sona - Thanks!</p> <p>Sveta - This was my first time trying the button-up for camping, I LOVED IT I highly recommend Yellowstone, especially if you like outdoors activities! Next time we go, we're totally making time for hikes because we didn't do any this time and some of them looked amazing.</p> <p>Anna - How fun! I love driving through there (we went across I-90), seeing all the wheat gently blowing in the wind is so pretty. Wheat is my favorite crop to drive through </p>
