  • MY SPRING TRAVEL WARDROBE Posted April 14, 2019

    Off

    Part of the fun when planning a trip is figuring out your wardrobe. Too little and you feel crummy, too much and you can feel overwhelmed. You also have to plan for crazy weather: hot, cold, wet or (fingers crossed ) mild and beautiful.

    What was good

    • I always base my wardrobe around black: black jeans and a pull-on loose (modal) pair for evening: A+
    • Gray jeans and a pair green/gray travel pants form Athleta: A+
    • Various colors of tanks: B- I didn’t bring enough colors- only black and white which were redundant: B
    • Two long sleeved cotton shirts in gray and pink and both worked well: A
    • White long blouse- OK- needed it to be shorter in length for the rest of my tops: B
    • Sleeveless printed long silk shirt APNY- perfect for layering and a color boost: A+
    • Green tee from Athleta that matched the green pants: A
    • My Columbia black vest: truly couldn’t live without it: A+
    • Black Modal Mell & Lisa top- perfect for layering: A+
    • Black hoodie sweater- great for the plane and for an extra layer of warmth
    • Pink rain jacket from REI- loved it, but provided no warmth. Happy with the pretty color: A
    • Black “tennis”shoes and a pair of Paul Green’s that I purchased in Berlin A+
    • My black and white Damask jacket from NPR was awesome- added a little zip: A+
    • My Black and white stripped tee with short sleeves and turtleneck- very versatile: A+

    What could have been better

    • I didn’t need my gray comfortable pumps- the other shoes would have worked: C
    • I didn’t love the printed flowered sweater or a print top (that my husband said looked like pajamas- a real deal breaker): D
    • My gray sweater didn’t provide enough pizazz or warmth: B
    • I loved the scarves I had, but wanted a few more to change up the looks: B
    • I did purchase a couple and enjoyed them immensely: A
    • I could have used a warmer, solid sweater to compliment the gray, black and peach: NA

    Finally

    • We went out to sight see and didn’t dress warmly enough (those darn cold fronts) and had to purchase these puffers. They were warm, comfortable and could be folded up into a small bag- pretty neat and on sale to boot: A+
    • I purchased a light weight day-pack that was awesome- light and could hold sandwiches, doo-dads and maps- better than my heavy back-pack: A+

     

     

     

     

    For me it is a balance: looking good and being comfortable. And, is always a learning experience. Happy trails.

Wide legged pants look better with a shorter top. I love my “oldie” black sweater. What do you think of the wider legged pants?

The end of February is a good time to start looking at the clothes you haven’t worn this winter. Some might not have been worn because of the year, but some probably will never get worn. These are good candidates to donate and make room for the clothes you love.

I love “rediscovering” some of my oldies. This vest is from the 80’s and I love it now as much I did when it was new. I used to wear it with a broomstick skirt but now pair it with skinny jeans so that it looks fresh.

It’s cold today - my secret to staying warm is to wear a down vest, then a coat. Gracie has her own coat.

I don’t think there is anything more versatile than a Jean jacket. They look great with dresses, sleeveless shirts, or even jeans. NPR has an abundance of these versatile jackets.
