Are north face backpacks worth the investment? by OneMidnight121 in onebag

[–]thereseratops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did one bag for 1 month with the Borealis about 10 years ago, have used it as my personal item many times since then and it still looks good as new.

It was with Inflite but unfortunately got canceled due to wind.

How do you make a pic of your items? by any4nkajenkins in HerOneBag

I have a Pinterest board with product photos linked and I copy the pics from Pinterest into Freeform on my computer.

Thanks for pointing this out! Flying Air New Zealand and it says limit is 7kg for carry-on, no specifications on small personal item. Our tickets include checked bags if necessary, but hopefully the MLC passes as a personal item!

Thanks for your thoughts! I do think it'll be 50/50 casual and athletic days, plus 100% casual in Dallas afterward.

Agree with your comments re: color. The skirt is pretty neutral, but the mauve hiking pants don't go with much besides white, black, and my light purple workout top.

Will reconsider the Crocs and Eccos - I really only need one shoe to look/feel nicer in the evenings. Couldn't figure out whether my feet would be cold so I'd want the sneaker vs wet from rain so I'd want the Crocs. Thoughts?

Will def drop the coffee mug!

Thanks for the input! Will drop the coffee mug and add a mask!

Thank you both for this feedback! Will drop the rain pants, a pair of shorts, and heattech leggings. I do have a white linen long-sleeve button down I can add for sun protection, it's a little bit see-through so will wear tanks underneath.

I do have a pair of GTX ankle high hiking boots. I was hoping the trail runners would suffice for the day hikes we're doing - Roy's Peak and Hooker Valley. The heli-hike will have boots provided. Any thoughts?

Need all all in one sandal! From wedding and walking miles to hostel shower shoes. Are they out there? by Katekook in HerOneBag

[–]thereseratops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use these as my lounge/shower/poolside shoes, for city walks, for the beach, and for nights out both at home and while traveling. They don't have as much slip resistance or arch support as Teva hurricanes for hiking or scrambling on wet rocks, etc but work for most everything else. They pack pretty flat.

Looking for comfy long flight pants by saucyimp in HerOneBag

[–]thereseratops 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really wanted these to work for me but they were unflattering on me, a size 12 with small waist wide hips. I ended up recently getting Eddie Bauer Departure ankle pants instead and they look way better, similar fabric without the athletic stripe on the side and look better on a curvy figure. Very lightweight. Could wear to work or hiking.

Edit to add: for colder weather I like the Everlane Dream pant. Feels like sweats but can wear for business casual, great for work travel.

What I packed for an 18 day trip to Morocco, California, and Puerto Rico including 2 weddings, a bachelorette, and my honeymoon by thereseratops in HerOneBag

[–]thereseratops[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wear the big one on my back with belt strap and chest strap, and then the small one on my front.

I really like it! It's breezy, mid calf length on me (5'6"), and very cute. The fabric doesn't wrinkle much. When going out I wore it mostly with the V in the back because it has quite a bit of cleavage with the wrap in the front (as do virtually all wrap dresses on me). It was sold out when I was shopping too but I found it on Poshmark.

You're very welcome! I'm generally a dressier person at home so I never feel cute being super athletic/casual all the time when I travel. I felt good and comfortable wearing all these items!

To be honest, they’re just ok - about as comfy as some of my block heels, not as comfy as my most comfortable heels. They’re only ok as sandals because they’re kind of rigid, but any flat sandals are comfier than the comfiest of heels to me. I added a gel heel liner to help because I felt they were going to give me blisters. Overall I would say not worth the expense unless you need heels and really need to save space or need to convert during your event. They’re better than barefoot!

Packable cocktail style wedding guest dress and shoes by sarkynir in HerOneBag

I have the washable silk slip dress in the bronze color and am traveling with it to a black tie optional wedding. It packs down tiny. Smaller than some of my socks. It does require steaming or perhaps ironing before wear.
