I hope to visit Portland one day, I hear so much about how artistic it is. I think you were perfectly dressed, casual yet interesting with the colors and accessories. I love that wide striped sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1109-10-anniversary-in-portland/page/2#post-1086907 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 03:46:48 +0000 Beth Ann 1086907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What gorgeous Falls!&nbsp; So worth the drive.&nbsp; I'm always happy to hear of couples taking time to get away together.</p> <p>You outfits are soft in color and silhouette and rich in texture.&nbsp; Love the boots, and the way you manage to hike without resorting to full on gear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1109-10-anniversary-in-portland/page/2#post-1086844 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 02:29:42 +0000 Aida 1086844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the wonderful comments, ladies!</p> <p>Rae, hah I wish that were the case; I cannot tell you how many photos we deleted before we got that one ;)&nbsp;I didn't know you liked hiking! If you ever make it out my way, my place is really close to a lot of amazing hikes (just sayin!).</p> <p>K, ooh I am not familiar with either of those places! We're usually just down for a weekend, but sometimes longer. I'll definitely be messaging you if there's an hour extra on our next trip!</p> <p>DV, thanks! I actually struggle mightily with this type of casual dressing since most of my wardrobe isn't truly casual. Especially in the footwear department.&nbsp;So any time I can actually come up with something that works for function and form I get super excited. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1109-10-anniversary-in-portland/page/2#post-1086776 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 01:32:01 +0000 Marmee 1086776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awww. &nbsp;What a cute couple. &nbsp;Your outfits are great and I admire your light packing mentality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1109-10-anniversary-in-portland#post-1086766 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 01:29:15 +0000 Day Vies 1086766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous pictures! I think your outfit is perfect for your activities but looks pulled together. I love how the pink scarf works with the olive jeans. The white top and cognac jacket are nice supporting colors and pieces. I like how you do casual! (Marking as favorite!)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1109-10-anniversary-in-portland#post-1086763 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 01:26:03 +0000 K. Period. 1086763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, yes!&nbsp;I would love it!&nbsp;Message me next time you are in for a longer stay. Two of my&nbsp;favorite coffee haunts are downtown: Spella and Public Domain.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1109-10-anniversary-in-portland#post-1086663 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 00:07:53 +0000 Anonymous 1086663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Anniversary (belated).&nbsp; Super fun casual look, I did the same this week for the mountains- sweater, ralaxed jeans, boots.<br />Great pics of the falls, I love it there.&nbsp; The first time I went DH pointed up at the tiny tiny people at the top of the falls and said "lets go up".. It was a good hike to the top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1109-10-anniversary-in-portland#post-1086657 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 00:04:06 +0000 rae 1086657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>congrats! On the anniversary and on being the world's m most photogenic couple. I would love to visit Portland someday. We once hiked by some falls in the Seattle area, and it is one of my favorite memories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1109-10-anniversary-in-portland#post-1086642 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 23:24:55 +0000 Aida 1086642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah, Pil I didn't plan it that way but I did notice as soon as we took the first outfit photo up there! I almost wore faded gray jeans, so good thing I went with the olive so I could fit in properly with the surroundings ^^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1109-10-anniversary-in-portland#post-1086592 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 22:12:59 +0000 pil 1086592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy anniversary, Aida, you two are so cute. Did you plan your outfits to meld with the beautiful scenery? The bottom left waterfall photo in 3 reminds me of a wedding veil </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1109-10-anniversary-in-portland#post-1086588 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 22:07:00 +0000 Aida 1086588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the lovely comments! Happy I could share our little trip with you gals ^^ For those who have a Portland trip (or hopeful trip!) in their future, if you have some extra time the falls are a great side trip; they're only 30 min from the city on a very pretty scenic highway that follows the Columbia River.</p> <p>Suz, I was amused at how different our packing strategies for our travel weekends were! Totally different needs of course, but definitely on the opposite ends hehe</p> <p>AviaMariah, I am finding that I try to have more and more textural interest in casual outfits, especially since I keep those quite simple. It can really up the visual interest on those types of outfits, and of course in fall/winter adds an extra vibe of coziness. And thank you&nbsp;for the hair compliment :D</p> <p>Brenda, aw how fun! We weren't able to get to the Multnomah bridge because it was nearly dark by the time we got there, but we're definitely planning on visiting again in spring so we can hike up there.</p> <p>K, ah that's right you're from Portland! We should get coffee (or tea!)&nbsp;sometime when I'm there for a longer trip. We always try to hunt down good local food in Portland, there's just so much of it. I LOVE Kale, I'm surprised more people don't know about them. I'm sure that stalled building project next to them doesn't help, either. The photos in #4 were taken at a garage on ummmm 6th and Alder I think, indeed just a few blocks from Nordies and Kale. Good eye, girl!</p> <p>Ornella, hehe no true&nbsp;Tetris packing on this trip! Although, I kind of wish I brought a second scarf to change up day two's look a bit more especially since it wouldn't really take additional room. I do enjoy coming up with packing capsules though. (I attended a 5-day conference back in August and had the <i>whole suitcase </i>to myself, and indulged in all different outfits each day; it felt very luxurious&nbsp;^^) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1109-10-anniversary-in-portland#post-1086559 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 21:35:35 +0000 deb 1086559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful pictures of you and the falls. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1109-10-anniversary-in-portland#post-1086555 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 21:20:29 +0000 Mo 1086555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats! &nbsp;I lived a bit to the east of there for a summer (between Hood River and The Dalles). &nbsp;Lovely country. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1109-10-anniversary-in-portland#post-1086550 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 21:11:59 +0000 carter 1086550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pics!

Still, this *is* Tetris and something you're so good at. You have essentially the same outfit x2, but they look completely different because the sweaters are different themselves.</p> <p>I loved reading your thought process and once again feel I've learned so much from you. I can't wait for my next trip now.</p> <p>The waterfalls are beautiful and you both look adorable. Happy anniversary.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1109-10-anniversary-in-portland#post-1086486 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 20:01:31 +0000 K.

I love that place. &nbsp;So delicious. &nbsp;I'm always singing its praises to people. &nbsp;It really deserves a lot more attention than it gets. &nbsp;I wonder if their very nondescript location is holding them back. &nbsp;And isn't that fourth picture taken on top of the smart park parking garage right near&nbsp;Nordstrom and Kale?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1109-10-anniversary-in-portland#post-1086086 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 14:48:40 +0000 Lisa 1086086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on 8 years!&nbsp; And lovely falls, sounds like a fun trip.&nbsp; Your outfit is perfect for a stylish and casual day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1109-10-anniversary-in-portland#post-1086069 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 14:22:53 +0000 Emily 1086069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Anniversary! &nbsp;It looks like you had a wonderful trip, the pictures are beautiful. &nbsp;You balanced function and style beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1109-10-anniversary-in-portland#post-1086032 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 13:15:17 +0000 Ornella 1086032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will read it all later (can't wait!), I have only checked the photos, but I wanted to say&nbsp;this is the good old Aida-post, the kind I was missing so much.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1109-10-anniversary-in-portland#post-1086026 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 13:12:39 +0000 Anonymous 1086026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy anniversary, and looks like you had a great time.

The PNW is high on my list of places I'd love to visit. Both of your outfits look great: I love how they're practical without looking gearish.

You and the waterfall are stunning and you and DH look like a match made in heaven. I like the light scarf next to your face. I think I like the second version slightly better but you look amazing in both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1109-10-anniversary-in-portland#post-1085714 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 02:14:14 +0000 cade 1085714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband is from this area, and we hope to eventually make it back to the PNW now that he is retired.
