When I got back from my most recent trip to Europe, I was so sick of those clothes I don't think I wore them for months! Especially the lightweight trekking esque pants I think I ended up wearing almost every day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-scotland-travel-capsule-review#post-1346002 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 11:53:48 +0000 donnat 1346002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for showing us those photos, you look so happy and relaxed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-scotland-travel-capsule-review#post-1345984 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 10:55:54 +0000 Astrid 1345984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! :)</p> <p>And Suz, yes to Team Wear!</p> <p>Sandy, it was somewhere between 10 and 20°C I think, but when it was raining and there wasn't any sun out it did feel colder than it probably was.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-scotland-travel-capsule-review#post-1345850 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 03:11:25 +0000 fern 1345850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful trip.

I've got to say your pictures make me torn between really wanting to go to Scotland because it looks so beautiful and wanting to avoid it&nbsp;because it's cold enough for long pants and scarves even in the summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-scotland-travel-capsule-review#post-1345695 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 01:08:00 +0000 SandyG 1345695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What was the temperature range while you were there? Does it get much colder at night? I'm thinking of a trip in late fall (and get cold easily). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-scotland-travel-capsule-review#post-1345676 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 00:51:12 +0000 abc 1345676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The red umbrella pics are so beautiful!! </p> <p>Glad the capsule worked out.

Also, I see you are firmly on Team Wear with the new scarf!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-scotland-travel-capsule-review#post-1345467 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 20:38:33 +0000 Anonymous 1345467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your report. A friend will be traveling in Scotland toward the end of October and I keep telling her that it will probably be cool. Your trip looks lovely with beautiful views. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-scotland-travel-capsule-review#post-1345463 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 20:29:43 +0000 Astrid 1345463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's what I took, in case some of you are interested how it worked out:</p> <p>- rain jacket<br />- trekking pants, two pairs of jeans, one pair of shorts<br />- trekking shoes, sneakers, Birkenstock sandals<br />- 5 shortsleeved tees, 2 longsleeved tees, 2 camisoles, 1 cardigan<br />- 2 pairs of hiking socks, three pairs of normal socks, other underwear<br />- PJs doing double duty as lounge wear<br />- fleecesweater<br />- camerabag<br />- 1 thin scarf</p> <p>I wore the rain jacket all the time, we had just a few days were it was warm and dry enough to leave the jacket off occasionally. The jacket was great and kept me dry. The trekking pants and shoes were a godsend too. Because the weather was so wet I was glad to have the two pairs of jeans too, that way I always had dry options. I did wear the trekking pants most of the time though, because they were so much more comfortable wet and quick to dry. I didn't really need the sneakers and wore the trekking shoes most of the time, because they kept my feet dry and cozy. The normal socks weren't therefore needed either, but that could have been different with warmer weather. Same for the shortsleeved tees, I definitely packed too many. I mostly wore them layered under the fleece pullover and I didn't wear the cardigan a lot. And I wore the new fleece constantly. So glad I bought it! I also needed my camis everyday, so it would have been nicer to have ones that would have dried faster - I did wash them in the sink, same as the socks. The scarf was nice to have, but I could have done without it. The camera bag was very useful and I'm glad I did buy that one. I didn't need the shorts at all (#9 was no shorts weather, I just felt I had to wear them at least once), but the sandals were very useful. I always wore them inside as slippers.</p> <p>All in all I'm a bit sick of navy right now, but it did work out great. </p>
