In my city, the forecast is for 64F at the warmest. Which is plenty warm if you're used to it being 50-something most of the time, but I know that for many Americans that's chilly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/youve-convinced-me/page/2#post-1501106 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 10:14:37 +0000 Style Fan 1501106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good thinking Angie.&nbsp; I have borrowed sweaters from my cousins when I was visiting England in July.&nbsp; I joked one trip to my aunt that the weather in England was the same in December as in was in July.&nbsp; Then the next trip they were having a heat wave and no air conditioning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/youve-convinced-me/page/2#post-1501051 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 04:21:03 +0000 Vicki 1501051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...with a little help from your friends, and, oh, did I love what sweet, funny Sveta said.</p> <p>I think it's a well-thought-out last-minute packing decision, because you've lived in Europe and can expect unexpected weather and are now prepared for it. &nbsp;Your citron trench coat brings me a smile every time you wear it so I'm happy it's packed. &nbsp;Wishing you and Greg a wonderful time on your trip with family and friends. &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/youve-convinced-me#post-1500956 Thu, 04 Jun 2015 01:26:24 +0000 Jaime 1500956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:-) I will pack a raincoat too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/youve-convinced-me#post-1500863 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 21:50:06 +0000 approprio 1500863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This was absolutely the right thing to do.

It is such a fab piece, but they are all fab pieces and I look forward to seeing the combination on the 24th!

Friend who literally returned from three weeks in London/Paris two days ago ended up buying a coat there because she was so cold. Even with temps in the 60s, it was that wet, cool, bone-chill. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/youve-convinced-me#post-1500838 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 20:32:36 +0000 gryffin 1500838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you are taking it. &nbsp;You just never know. &nbsp;Even the planes can be freezing and I've never regretted bringing my trench anywhere!! &nbsp; Have a wonderful and safe trip!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/youve-convinced-me#post-1500830 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 20:04:55 +0000 jackiec 1500830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/youve-convinced-me#post-1500804 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 19:15:42 +0000 Astrid 1500804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, good idea to bring the trench! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/youve-convinced-me#post-1500794 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 19:04:08 +0000 Inge 1500794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I approve too :-)<br />And *nodding* about what you wrote about white footwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/youve-convinced-me#post-1500783 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 18:30:09 +0000 Ruth M 1500783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, what a sweet thread!</p> <p>I missed the discussion about the trench earlier today, but agree it seems a good decision :)</p> <p>And I LOVE Sveta's comment !!</p> <p></p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/youve-convinced-me#post-1500776 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 17:52:39 +0000 crutcher 1500776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Soooo glad the ladies convinced you to take your trench...I was concerned about that...You may not need it but if you do,there it is...<br />Signed one who takes 4 seasons when she travels...smile... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/youve-convinced-me#post-1500771 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 17:41:05 +0000 karymk 1500771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAHA Sveta!

I appreciate the encouragement and wise words.&nbsp;</p> <p>Elizabeth P, I get lots of practice leading an urban life in grey and rainy Seattle. I am out in the elements more than most. I assure you that my white shoes will be fine. They have also been waterproofed with spray. Thanks for your concern though - I DO love it. &nbsp;</p> <p>Suz, EXACTLY. &nbsp; </p> <p>Hah, kkards, you're right. Actually it will gorgeous and very warm in the Netherlands over the weekend.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/youve-convinced-me#post-1500731 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 16:15:51 +0000 columbine(erin) 1500731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good choice! One time I visited England in September and quite mistakenly thought I wouldn't need rain gear and that it would be warm. Hahaha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/youve-convinced-me#post-1500729 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 16:15:21 +0000 kkards 1500729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>well, now that you've packed it, your guaranteed a heat wave! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/youve-convinced-me#post-1500727 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 16:12:26 +0000 Ledonna N. 1500727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>what a lovely cohesive travel capsule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/youve-convinced-me#post-1500726 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 16:11:11 +0000 Eliza 1500726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that trench. &nbsp;I have the same internal dialogue on every trip: &nbsp; Do I need a waterproof topper in some form? &nbsp;Will it be enough to have an umbrella or waterproof a non-rain jacket somehow? And each time, I throw in something that will make a day of heavy rain manageable, despite the "extra" in the suitcase. &nbsp;Umbrellas require space and hands, both at a premium when touring around cities. Nothing wrecks site seeing like bottoms and shoes that are soaked through and damp for the day.&nbsp;</p> <p>Have so much fun, Angie. &nbsp;It sounds like a great trip!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/youve-convinced-me#post-1500723 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 16:08:11 +0000 abc 1500723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OOH! Fun! &nbsp;A packing post! &nbsp;I loved seeing it all laid out on your bed and the rationale behind taking the extra jacket. &nbsp;Thanks for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/youve-convinced-me#post-1500722 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 16:07:24 +0000 Suz 1500722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, so glad you did this! I thought of it, too, and then forgot to mention in my comments. At the worst, it will go unworn. At best it will provide you with many options and you may end up wearing it the whole time. Remember how cold I was in Israel this spring? And how glad I was for my booties, my trench, my sweaters? You never, ever know.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/youve-convinced-me#post-1500721 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 16:06:00 +0000 Elizabeth P 1500721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Phew!&nbsp; I was going to say something as well, but as I read the comments realized that topic was well covered.&nbsp; I also think you should consider non-white (even waterproof?) footwear for rain reasons.&nbsp; </p> <p>That was a fabulous packing capsule post Angie, thank you.&nbsp; Love having the thought process behind the choices - something you don't get with just the pictures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/youve-convinced-me#post-1500718 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 15:59:49 +0000 Diana 1500718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I might be influenced by the fact that it is trench coat weather right now in Boston, and London tends to be wetter.&nbsp; </p> <p>Last May, I wore my trench in London pretty much 24-7.&nbsp; I felt like it was perfect for that kind of misty drizzly thing that London seems to have all the time, when you don't want to bother with an umbrella but don't want your clothes to be damp all day.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/youve-convinced-me#post-1500710 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 15:46:30 +0000 Anonymous 1500710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you will be super glad that you snuck it back in! Hope your trip is wonderful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/youve-convinced-me#post-1500709 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 15:45:04 +0000 Sara L. 1500709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good idea!&nbsp; If you don't use it, that's fine, but if it rains, you'll be so happy to have brought it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/youve-convinced-me#post-1500708 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 15:44:55 +0000 Angie 1500708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES, ladies. You are right. Despite my very thorough homework on the weather - I decided I should pack my trench coat anyway. Rather safe than sorry. I've lived in Europe and know all to well that the weather can turn overnight. </p> <p>So here is my topper capsule for the trip:&nbsp; </p>
