I always travel with two or three scarves, so I just loved the idea of picking one and going with the colors. It really struck me that you looked appropriate for just about any situation. Just fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-spring-travel-capsule-pic-heavy#post-1247023 Fri, 09 May 2014 19:04:26 +0000 Ornella 1247023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry for late replies, life etc.</p> <p><b>Suz</b> :: I have quite well documented love of red+pink and with this year's Valentine ensemble I have lost every concern the two colure look odd together. I love how I feel when I wear them both at once. Even after returning from the holiday I did not feel fed up with them.<br />You are right, my stuff are knits. They pack so easily, I can even get away with our ironing not to mention the comfort.</p> <p><b>rachy</b> :: they look good, they are comfy, they are pink. Hat-trick.</p> <p><b>Aida</b> :: At some point I realised I was not reaching for the button ups, then I made decision not to unless absolutely necessary - just to test how far I can go with little.&nbsp;I too am amazed I did not wear everything, which gives me more confidence for future (Tetris )&nbsp;packing as I can easily survive with less. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-spring-travel-capsule-pic-heavy#post-1246576 Fri, 09 May 2014 09:24:35 +0000 Mona 1246576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pink,red with black, white and grey.

I'm amazed you ended up with pieces you didn't use. Love that you have feet accompanying one pair of shoes in the shoe pic, &nbsp;^^ Fabulous looks came out the capsule, thanks so much for recreating them - it really gives a great sense of just how versatile&nbsp;a small capsule can be.&nbsp;I am especially fond of #7, #9, and #13. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-spring-travel-capsule-pic-heavy#post-1246306 Fri, 09 May 2014 01:55:14 +0000 LoriFLA 1246306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great, stylish&nbsp;capsule. &nbsp;You look so nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-spring-travel-capsule-pic-heavy#post-1246257 Fri, 09 May 2014 01:33:30 +0000 MsLuna 1246257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Ornella! Thank you for sharing this! I'm working towards a minimalist closet and this is good inspiration on how you create capsules with even less clothes! It's amazing! I love your chosen colour scheme and I love how everything in your travel capsule just goes together perfectly! I really like the idea of basing the colour scheme on the scarf!</p> <p>You look fab in all outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-spring-travel-capsule-pic-heavy#post-1246190 Fri, 09 May 2014 00:54:44 +0000 sinead 1246190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great travel capsule, and I'm taking notes. I love the idea of taking your colors from your scarf, and I agree, you look fab in reds and pinks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-spring-travel-capsule-pic-heavy#post-1246123 Thu, 08 May 2014 23:33:14 +0000 rachylou 1246123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So super.

Were they? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-spring-travel-capsule-pic-heavy#post-1246032 Thu, 08 May 2014 22:02:53 +0000 NDMom 1246032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ornelia....I love your outfits! &nbsp;So polished and perfect! &nbsp;I especially love #7! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-spring-travel-capsule-pic-heavy#post-1245893 Thu, 08 May 2014 19:49:34 +0000 Anonymous 1245893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How lovely to pick all the colours from your scarf as a starting point. You look very stylish in all iterations and I love the way you've played with proportions in some of your looks with long over short, double layers etc. Really lovely. You do glow in those rich reds and pinks.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-spring-travel-capsule-pic-heavy#post-1245890 Thu, 08 May 2014 19:48:32 +0000 Suz 1245890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA: I also like to see the full photos and this is not too many for me.

I love the combo of the pink with red -- a bit unexpected and very fun and fresh.&nbsp;</p> <p>I note that a great deal of the wardrobe is knit -- this is a super idea for travel because knits don't wrinkle much and roll up to pack so well. I generally wear a lot of knits on a trip as well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-spring-travel-capsule-pic-heavy#post-1245859 Thu, 08 May 2014 19:21:35 +0000 E 1245859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a clever packing job, and this post is so useful as you're actually modelling all of the looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-spring-travel-capsule-pic-heavy#post-1245847 Thu, 08 May 2014 19:12:35 +0000 Anonymous 1245847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did an amazing job with your packing and outfits!

You look fantastic in all the outfits, and everything mixes so well. It's hard to believe such a small selection of items can yield so many distinct looks.

Default item I always pack is white button down)</li> <li>1 jacket that goes with everything (for me that's leather jacket)</li> <li>1 backup jacket</li> <li>1 cardigan</li> <li>maybe a comfy (ponte?) dress (I did not pack it this time)</li> <li>3-4 pairs of shoes - comfort is a must for them all</li> <li>scarf or two to add colour/pattern</li> </ul> <p><b>In my case this recipe had led the following content of the suitcase:</b></p> <ul> <li>#1 The whole wardrobe was based on this scarf</li> <li>#2 What I packed and actually wore</li> <li>#3 The footwear</li> <li>#4 What I also packed but did not get to wear (plus I only wore the Cons when we travelled).&nbsp;</li> <li>#5 onwards - The outfits minus certain options I haven't photographed.</li> <li> #15-16 - This is how I layered stuff when it was very cold. Shown here with the olive jacket as the layers can be seen easier that way, but IRL it was done with the black leather jacket.</li> </ul> <p>Strange white spots on some photos courtesy of camera and lighting...</p> </p> <p><b>Other important notes:&nbsp;</b></p> <ul> <li>this was for 2 weeks and I could wash in the meantime (thanks Elizabeth)</li> <li>the weather ranged from very warm to rather cold</li> <li>I would have taken BF with me, but hubby just doesn't like them so it was a compromise I happily made.</li> <li>The weather was a bit erratic, mostly mild and warm, sometimes rainy. Through the windows of the bus I took to travel from my base to my hometown&nbsp;I could even see the snow.</li> <li>The recap of the trip and purchases are on my <b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-packed-saw-and-felt">earlier thread</a></b>.</li> </ul> <p>Thanks for your time and for&nbsp;stopping by.&nbsp;</p> </p>
