Hahaha cremel! In my post, I actually mentioned that my DD is very much like Mindi's husband not my DH. I'm afraid my DH defies categorization.:lol:
I love all the yummy food photos, thank you for being so generous with them! I love photos in this thread :flowers:
I just made a tray of Mac and cheese for a Halloween party in my neighborhood. Now I need to figure out a costume or be subjected to the "bin of shame".

@MrsOwen3, the cashmere scarves are gorgeous. Wear them in the best of health! I've purchased a few solid silks, I love the washed bee jacquard but I haven't yet tried the cashmere. I'm thinking of a plume shawl but this seems a little more sturdy. Did you have a chance to compare?

And continuing with the photos, here is a ridiculous picture of my dog keeping her nose warm in a practical way.

thanks!

i did try all the solid versions, this has a bit more body than the plume. it's lighter than the solid jacquard with the Hs which i didn't like. It feels like it will hold up to regular wear and it's pretty warm. I love your bees [emoji219]

love the dog pile, the cats are snuggling us for warmth except today when they're lounging in the sun.

Pocketbook, your wardrobe sounds/looks perfect. Are you reluctant to check your Chanel, is that why you're not bringing them? Just looking at the scarves you chose I feel like your latest tweed wants to go on the trip too. I like your good luck charms and hope they bring the magic!

As much as I've enjoyed today's warm weather i want to wear my Fall clothes! i ended up throwing the Chanel poncho over a black sundress and it was cute but i'd rather wear my new scarves sooner rather than later.

Mrs Owen the tweed jackets are tough to travel with if it's cold. 1. You have to carry them on. I have heard of people having Chanel jackets or even the slingback shoes stolen from their checked luggage. 2. You have to bring a coat that can fit over the jacket if it's very cold and you will be walking around all day. I have two that would work but not that I necessarily want to travel with because they are a bit bulky. I'm most sad about leaving the tweed jacket behind. If you are traveling in a large group it's not as big a deal but I have had them weigh my carryons. So you want to make sure that your treasured items that you bring don't weigh too much or you will have to check them. I generally don't check bags, scarves, jewelry or Chanel rtw or shoes.

I'm boring but black, ivory, oatmeal, charcoal and heather gray gets me every time.

Neutrals are never boring. Nor are you.

I might also be getting hooked on the moussies. Something about the large format seems to draw me in more than the 90 silks.

I'm totally hooked on the 140s in all of their formats. They feel more contemporary to me. Plus I love having a large swath of fabric to warm me or to hide behind on my fat days.

My neck and chest are susceptible to drafts, and get cold year round, while the rest of me gets over heated easily even in the middle of winter. So I only own a couple of sweaters, and a variety of scarves and shawls to use year round with tshirts and blouses.

PbP, I am with you in packing hell today. We are going for a week to London, and DH is coming in from a tropical climate the same day we fly overseas (we're meeting at the airport), so the packing challenges are ridiculous. Garments must be "chic urban," both dress-up and -downable, comfortable for walking around, warm but not so warm they can't be worn indoors (at stores, museums, etc.), water/rain tolerant, etc., etc. etc. ARGH!
My DH can pack a suit, one pair of dress shoes, jeans, a few sweaters, and trainers, and he's good to go. Sigh.

The advantage you have is that you can wear your coat. I guess you will have to bring his to the airport. I found the last time I was in London that I wore flats, and a raincoat the entire time. Packing 2 pair of pants, sweaters and one dress could do it. Your accessories will change the outfits. Wear the boots on the plane, pack a pair of dress shoes and another pair of flats and/or sneakers. I don't know if you want to take a nice jacket. Can you do carry-on? So much easier.

I know that people who are traveling from one climate zone to another sometimes store things in an airport locker. I don't know if this would help you with the DH's things from the tropical climate.

You are probably horrified with my packing. This counts as packing light for me. I don't mind bringing a large suitcase and checking it. I like to enjoy my things when I'm on vacation.

Thank you! I do not keep up with threads consistently too
I love my Plume[emoji173]️& wore her to dinner tonight
I think it might appear "duddy" to some but to me she is perfect View attachment 3505488

I like the plume after the kelly. A plume is very wearable. Do the bag straps fit over your shoulder or is this strictly a hand-held bag? Who said a plume is fuddy-duddy? That person doesn't not understand paired-down simplicity and elegance.

A dear friend of mine used to rent the top floor apartment of a gorgeous huge old brownstone that used to be the original "servant's quarters". One room was lined with shallow closets on all of the walls for the hoop skirts. They were beautiful closets with amazing wooden doors and pegs but totally impractical by today's standards. It was a treat to see and day dream about those times. Although I'm sure in my past life I was probably the servant.:p

The plus side of being the servant was that they often got the clothes m'lady wore when she was tired of them. They could then remake them, or more likely, sell them.
