In a fuchsia bag, no less! Wow. And may I just say your hair is looking wonderful, too. I am especially in love with outfit #5, but I also love love love that zebra top on you. And admire your smart planning for #1.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanksgiving-travel-capsule#post-1104486 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 17:04:20 +0000 E 1104486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love seeing all of your combos! You look wonderful; I think I love your travel outfit the most because all of the textures and patterns playing with each other.&nbsp;I pack very similarly: I don't bring a dress, so sometimes I end up with 5 tops, but I always do 3 bottoms and 2-3 toppers too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanksgiving-travel-capsule#post-1104407 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 15:20:09 +0000 Angie 1104407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Hello from a freezing Seattle.

I am blown away by #5. Absolutely K to the power of K. One of your best this year.

I think each of these outfits works very well for their intended occasions.

This is a great little travel capsule, especially as you were in different climates. 5&amp;6 are my favorites but all your outfits look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanksgiving-travel-capsule#post-1104159 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 04:25:54 +0000 Diana 1104159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone!</p> <p>Amy, I'd probably add my gold flat oxfords. They would go with everything. So would my grey ones but I think gold is more different than the black boots. If I had a bigger bag I'd consider some other boots as well. </p> <p>I feel like I should mention that I have really small toiletries and do not use a hair dryer. If I had to lug a hair dryer around the small bag would probably not work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanksgiving-travel-capsule#post-1104143 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 04:09:20 +0000 LAR101 1104143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great capsule. &nbsp;I'm studying. &nbsp;Thank-you for the break downs &amp; pics.<br />My fav is the very last outfit, #6.&nbsp; <br />Even like that over #2 - couldn't tell you why - they're so similar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanksgiving-travel-capsule#post-1104132 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 03:54:02 +0000 minimalist 1104132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So attractive, as well as apparently practical! Thanks for the details, especially the bag shot. </p> <p>Which additional shoes would you bring next time? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanksgiving-travel-capsule#post-1104131 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 03:53:08 +0000 Neel 1104131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am working on a travel capsule myself for a 3 week holiday and this is a very helpful post! Thanks!</p> <p>I love all your outfits. The turqouise jacket is lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanksgiving-travel-capsule#post-1104121 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 03:40:55 +0000 CocoLion 1104121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brilliant travel capsule! &nbsp;I am so impressed that you got it into that one tiny fuchsia bag. &nbsp;#5 is really cute on you. &nbsp;And so are the different ways you mixed the zebra tee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanksgiving-travel-capsule#post-1104111 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 03:21:30 +0000 Aida 1104111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm amazed you were able to fit all that in there, especially since shoes were involved! I think adding a pair of oxfords is a great idea, as is nixing the big heavy coat and just toughing out the short outdoors bit. You looked fab for your trip, but I am especially fond of #2 and #5! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanksgiving-travel-capsule#post-1104023 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 02:01:09 +0000 Caro in Oz 1104023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #2 &amp; #3 - the jacket is a fantastic colour. The&nbsp;proportions in #5 are very satisfying -so effortlessly chic.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanksgiving-travel-capsule#post-1104021 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 01:57:34 +0000 Diana 1104021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, for my 4 day&nbsp;travel capsule, I packed (all in the small fuchsia bag):</p> <p>4 tops:&nbsp;<br />-zebra tee<br />-red top + printed&nbsp;layering tank (counted as one top because neither is wearable on its own)<br />-lace front sweatshirt<br />-watercolor tee (not worn, although I did wear it today for the Alanis outfit)</p> <p>3 bottoms:&nbsp;<br />-blue bootcut jeans<br />-faded black slim straight jeans<br />-black/grey printed skirt</p> <p>1 dress:<br />-printed jersey dress (for traveling both ways) with leggings</p> <p>2 pairs of shoes:<br />-Frye short black&nbsp;moto boots (worn almost every day)<br />-New Balance sneakers (gear, for hiking and stuff - not shown but worn)</p> <p>3 toppers:<br />-handknit sweater (for Boston and cold planes, not worn in CA at all)<br />-turquoise leather moto (worn to travel, on the one cooler day, and in the evenings)<br />-long black jersey drapey cardigan (not shown, but worn in the evenings when hanging out in the house)</p> <p>2 scarves:<br />-teal pashmina (worn in Boston and on planes)<br />-handknit navy lace scarf (not worn, it was too warm in CA)</p> <p>Plus PJs, undergarments, socks, and toiletries. &nbsp;The olive purse contains my keys/wallet/phone/sunglasses, my ipad, and some knitting (and I shoved my scarf and sweater in there on the plane as well).</p> <p>All in all, I am very pleased with this travel capsule! &nbsp;As I think you can see, most of it is highly remixable, so I could have gotten a lot more than just these few outfits out of it. &nbsp;And I wore almost everything I brought, with the exception of one tee (which I was planning to wear) and one scarf (too warm). &nbsp;</p> <p>I think next time I will bring one more pair of shoes though. &nbsp;My feet are fussy enough that they don't like wearing the same shoes for multiple days in a row, plus I had a couple of days that involved a lot of walking, so I did wish I had another shoe option. (Yes, I had my gear sneakers but I'm vain enough that I didn't want to wear them out and about.) &nbsp;I could have fit a pair of oxfords or my slipper flats in the bag, so I will do that next time. &nbsp;</p> <p>I also fully realize the leather jacket is not really warm enough for Boston at this time of year. &nbsp;This is a conscious choice that I always make to just suck it up and be cold on the way to and from the airport. &nbsp;Otherwise, I have to wear my wool coat AND bring a lighter jacket for CA, and that's packing way too heavy for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanksgiving-travel-capsule#post-1104020 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 01:56:35 +0000 Makrame 1104020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great capsule! &nbsp;It's nice to be able to revert to uncomplicated warm-weather dressing (skirt with bare legs) for a while. &nbsp;I love your Edista tee&nbsp;in both outfits. &nbsp;Great job packing small! &nbsp;I was debating whether to use Frye Veronica for a conference travel capsule in a couple of weeks &nbsp;so I am glad to see your outfit combinations for inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanksgiving-travel-capsule#post-1104011 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 01:46:59 +0000 Diana 1104011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For the long holiday weekend, my husband and I went to southern CA to visit my family. &nbsp;We left on Thursday evening, so first we got to have a&nbsp;Thanksgiving meal with his family in the Boston area. &nbsp;Here's what I packed and wore for my vacation.</p> <p>1: for Thanksgiving in Boston and traveling (both ways). &nbsp;It was absolutely freezing in Boston the day we left so I added the sweater on top of my standard airplane uniform of jersey dress and loose&nbsp;leggings. &nbsp;Very comfy for stuffing my face and then sitting on a plane for six hours.<br />(handknit sweater, Bailey 44 dress, Gap leggings, Frye boots)</p> <p>2-3: Graphic tee, leather jacket, faded jeans, and moto boots for a non-shopping Black Friday. &nbsp;A bit cool (for CA) and rainy in the morning. &nbsp;We went to the Getty museum and then out for a late&nbsp;lunch at a local brewery, followed by a trip to the liquor store. &nbsp;The boys (my husband and my sister's fiance) may or may not have dubbed it "Black(out) Friday"...<br />(Edista tee, Kut jeans, Frye boots, Neiman Marcus jacket)</p> <p>4: bootcuts&nbsp;for second Thanksgiving - my Mom decided to do the big Thanksgiving meal on Saturday when everyone was around. &nbsp;No shoes in the photo, but that's pretty accurate. &nbsp;Aside from an hour or so spent traipsing around the hill in my parents' back yard (for which I wore my gear sneakers) I didn't leave the house. &nbsp;<br />(French connection top, Anthro layering tee, Lucky jeans)</p> <p>5: My favorite way to wear a&nbsp;skirt - with boots and bare legs! &nbsp;CA weather is much more accommodating than Boston weather for this look. &nbsp;I really liked how this came out. &nbsp;Worn to go to the LA Arboretum. &nbsp;It was super hot this day - almost too hot at times for boots!<br />(Hinge sweatshirt, H&amp;M skirt, Frye boots)</p> <p>6: Abbey Road outfit for Picture Perfect Monday. &nbsp;I was originally going to wear my watercolor floral tee on this last day of vacation, but realized that I actually had the makings of an Abbey Road inspired outfit with me with my zebra tee and bootcut jeans.<br />(Edista tee, Lucky jeans, Frye boots)</p> <p>7: My (tiny) luggage. &nbsp;My Frye Veronica shorties are there for scale. &nbsp;The fuchsia bag is actually an overnight bag. &nbsp;I used the olive MZ Wallace purse for the entire trip. &nbsp;</p> <p>Bonus photo of a peacock at the Arboretum. &nbsp;Such lovely colors!</p> <p>PS - Will post more musings about my travel capsule in a reply below. &nbsp;This post is long enough. </p>
