I have four basic travel capsules - one per season, and they rarely change since I've invested in good pieces that are lightweight, pack small, don't wrinkle, are easy to wash and are truly classics. I get creative with scarves and accessories, but the basics I travel with, they rarely change and everything mixes and matches nicely!
I love that you credited Alyssa Beltempo! I, too, am a fan of her slow fashion influences. My signature style words are: classy, eclectic, and casual-dress. Despite being retired for 4 years, I just can't let go of my professional teacher looks after 36 years. I don't feel dressed without at least a scarf, if I'm not wearing a jacket. Denim is "starting" to become my "go-to" choice (with a scarf). Before fine fabrics became so costly, I sewed my own capsule wardrobe for many years to mix and match. It just made life easier whether working or traveling. YOU, Genx Gypsy, are on my favorites list for practical, useful, current, and well delivered travel tips. When I found your channel, I binge watched for awhile to get up-to-date with your most recent pieces. I love your enthusiasm and positive outlook on life; it comes through in your videos. By the way, your hair is growing into a lovely, natural shade of gray. Embrace it!
I love Alyssa Beltempo as well.. You're both an inspiration. My words- classic, timeless, unexpected. I always try to add a little "edginess" to offset my otherwise boring style. Great video, thank you!
I'm not sure what my style words are exactly. Definitely casual, but pondering on the others. I love this idea and want to thank you for a delightful video. I usually pick a scarf and work the wardrobe around that. That way I know everything will go with everything!!
Beachy-Boho? I love this idea! It gives me some structure to find what I am going to be most comfortable with on a trip. So many packing video are so rigid! Thanks!
I think my three words are much the same as yours but I consider that beachy-flowy look to be feminine/romantic. I too live at the beach and life here is very casual. Skorts are my usual bottom piece for most of the year. Just ordered some new ones from Sam’s that are really comfortable and a bit dressier. They’re the Rafaella Stretch Skort and they’re a bit longer on me which makes them more versatile. I am in my 60s. We’re preparing for a trip to Paris and Italy later this year so I’m trying to put together an appropriate wardrobe for that trip. Really enjoyed this video. I also watch Alyssa and love her videos! PS: I ordered the magic pants upon your recommendation. Haven’t worn them yet but they’ll definitely be part of my travel wardrobe!
Just thinking what I’m taking to Paris in a fortnight. Placed them out on my bed and even took photos. Everything mix and match, layers and hopefully stylish. This vid is great for getting us thinking about no nonsense travelwear. Cheers from 🇦🇺
I need to try out some Merino wool items! I've stayed away the past few years because hot flashes, but I think those are (fingers crossed) waning now 😊
It looks like you made some great choices. My words would probably be comfortable, effortless, and elegant ( but with my current wardrobe, elegant is probably more aspirational).
I would suggest the word “unstructured” since beachy tends to refer to a certain range of colours and you have items like your black top or your maroon dress.
Good point, I do like to wear leggings and sportier clothes on those long travel days...especially if I'm heading somewhere for hiking and outdoor activities 😊
I got mine at TJ Maxx, but I did find one very similar on Amazon. I'm going to be adding some links in the description for items that people have asked about today, so check back a little bit later! I'll also add the camera strap that I use as the crossbody strap 😊
I did a video a few weeks ago about a pair of Spanx dupe pants that I call my "magic" pants. I'll put the link in the description for this video 😊. (PS I don't allow links in my comments because its too easy for the spammers!)
What are your 3 signature style words?
Feminine, airy, natural
Neutrals, comfy, easy care.
Chic, classic, feminine
Loved this... very inspiring as I anticipate a 2 week trip to Eastern Europe in September_ My 3 style words: Practical, Classic, Feminine
What a fun trip!! And great words 😊

@Dr. Christopher Johnson Move along, I'm already married to a doctor.
Breezy comes to mind 🌬️ fun and useful!

Interesting idea.

The maroon style dress 👗 looks really good and in my opinion is the best outfit. Thank you again for sharing

Super duper simple: slacks • jacket • tees
You look fantastic.
I love my travel wardrobe! I wear mostly Merino wool dresses. I am planning to add a couple new pieces, like leggings. 🌺✈️ Heidi

Wow I have the coral shirt and the shirt with the tie in front, the exact shirts
That's crazy!! I wonder what other items we have in common?? Did you come up with three words, any similarities there? 😊
Casual, jeansy, classic 😊
I love jeansy 😊
It looks like you made some great choices. My words would probably be comfortable, effortless, and elegant ( but with my current wardrobe, elegant is probably more aspirational).
Great words... especially for travel outfits 😊
Thank you! Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful! 😊
No black for me. Too depressing. I’m going to try COLOR! 😊
How about "breezy" instead of beachy?
Love this video! Are there links for the clothes?
Most of the items I've had for quite awhile. Would you like me to try to find similar items?
@@GenxGypsy1968 I was wondering about the magic pants and the shorts. Thank you!
How about "Oceanic" instead of beachy. It conveys a sense of movement as well as a color palette that fits your capsule
I LOVE it!!! Oceanic it is 🌊 ❤️
I would suggest the word “unstructured” since beachy tends to refer to a certain range of colours and you have items like your black top or your maroon dress.
Ohhh, I love it! Unstructured sort of describes my life too, LOL! Thank you 😊
I like the straps the go with the purse in this video..where do I find it
My 3 words are: athletic, casual & serious. Lol im a serious person & this comes across in my clothing somehow
My pants came yesterday.
Genex Gypsy I also feel like you're very sporty. I find it I see you on travel days and very sporty outfits
Good point, I do like to wear leggings and sportier clothes on those long travel days...especially if I'm heading somewhere for hiking and outdoor activities 😊
Coastal Style?
Thank you for saying we can take more than 2 pairs of shoes! I don’t know how to do JUST 2!
😂😂😂 Right?!!
Where did you get that little purse?
I got mine at TJ Maxx, but I did find one very similar on Amazon. I'm going to be adding some links in the description for items that people have asked about today, so check back a little bit later! I'll also add the camera strap that I use as the crossbody strap 😊
Your 3rd word should be Adventurer
What are magic pants?
I did a video a few weeks ago about a pair of Spanx dupe pants that I call my "magic" pants. I'll put the link in the description for this video 😊. (PS I don't allow links in my comments because its too easy for the spammers!)
@@GenxGypsy1968 yay! I found them and ordered them! Thank you!!!
I received my Magic Pants today, and they fit like a dream. I’ll use them for yoga, and of course, for my upcoming trip! I’m so glad I saw this video!
Wear your shorts.
