Travel Capsule, and a WIW

I’m back in the Netherlands hanging with my Papa for 8 days before Xmas. Doing the same old things because they make my Dad happy. Seeing family, doing errands, admin, cleaning up, attending meetings, and everything is on foot, with public transport, and in Dutch.

#1 - packed a colour and pattern rich capsule, cause why not!

#2 - 86 year old Dad after the daily grocery run.

#3 - The bundled up outfit of the day.

#4 - Dad decided we needed a pic of the back of my outfit

#5/6 - Dad’s Arty photo taking skills. Funny! He doesn’t have a cell phone so it’s a gamble when he takes pics....

# 7 - Dad’s a Selfie pro. Cracks me up.

Nice dry day for a change.

Love the pic with you and your dad! It warms my heart every time I see you visiting him. <3

Of course you look gorgeous in all of these, and I covet those jeans (and the body to wear them)!

Wow, love these photos. The flowers everywhere is one of the best part of the Dutch culture. You Dad was right to photograph you from the back to show off the gorgeous pattern mixing of the leopard coat and polka dot scarf. Those jeans are to die for. And of course the happiness on your and your Dad's faces when you are together is the best part of it all!!

Always so lovely to see the smile on your dad’s face when you visit. Love all the stripes I’m this travel capsule, too!

Wow this photos are such a treat. Sam on your packing... so typical of a terrier being into everything. You have a beautiful travel capsule and the selfie of you and your Dad... well that is what family is all about. Enjoy your trip and doing fun things like grocery shopping with your Dad. I am looking forward to the tea and cake instalment!

Great photos -- the buttons on the jeans are tdf, and I love how much time you get to spend with your dad.

I like the way the big goldish dots on your scarf echo the buttons. Have a great trip and enjoy your family.

Fun packing post! I just bought white booties so I'm especially noting all your white bootie outfits. Dad is so cute and does take a great selfie. Some people are just like that - my middle kid always looks great in photos - he never went through that awkward smile phase and seems to have a sixth sense about when a camera is pointing at him.

Sam thinks he is camoflaged on your jacket, and you’ll accidentally take him! Have a wonderful visit with your dad. He reminds me of my dad - kindly and thought I could do anything.

Thanks for sharing, Angie! I never tire of seeing your travel capsules — or pics of the Netherlands. Love the leopard/polka dot mix and your dad looks dapper as ever.

Beautiful capsule - and LOVE pic #7!

What can I say that I have not already said in the past? You and Dad look fantastic as always. I love especially the picture of your Dad in front of the flowers shop. (I adore flower shops!). I notice that Sam looks fab against a leopard print coat. Have you thought of buying him one? So you two would be matchy-matchy.

DeAnna

I just love the packing post, all the color and stripes look so fresh. Great selfie with your dad so cute. Have a wonderful trip.

I agree with Deanna. The color and the stripes look so fresh to my eye. They all combine to make me feel happy for you and your trip. Travel safely.

Dreika

I always love seeing your travel posts, Angie (even though commenting for the first time). Somehow you make the simple combination of sweater with jeans and boots look so vibrant, happy and elegant. And your Papa definitely knows how to take good pictures !

First, congratulations to your Dad for everything in that ages. Love the pic with you and your Dad, it touched my heart. Your outfit in #3 is terrific, I can't stop watching Angie. Have a nice time.

Beautiful photos, thanks for sharing. The pics of you and your dad are delightfully cheerful. I admire how easy it seems for you to assemble your travel outfits, nevermind the process of packing and unpacking. How long does it take you to decide on your travel capsule?

I always look forward to these pictures - and I would dearly love to visit this part of the world some day. So pretty and steeped in history. And no snow! Your dad is always a picture of happiness too - and I enjoy seeing the two of you together. Makes me miss my own dad a lot. Tell me about the white top you are wearing ......what is it and where is it from? thanks

Thank you all, for the awfully kind words and giggles. Sorry to be brief.

Lisa P, the pullover is from Boden. It has the navy sleeve slit detailing. Look in my Finds. Can’t link to it from my phone.

Gradfashinista, I can put this type of travel capsule together in half an hour. I’m very practiced at it.

You and Dad are adorable and both so stylish! <3 I love your jeans.
If this keeps up, I think Dad can give Greg a run for his money in the fashion photography department!
