oyme Posted March 26 #1 Share Posted March 26 I don't know what I should call it, a lookbook or a vision board, but I've started taking pictures of the pieces I plan to take. I plan to make an image using all the pictures. I really am just doing it for fun because I like clothes, I know it might seem silly to some! So far I have photographed all of the casual pieces, I need to photograph my formal dress... I would ask if any of you guys do this but I'm guessing I'm the only one. 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to do it when there was this [shopping] site with images of many clothing items. I guess far more people used it for boards than for shopping, as the site went away! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 2BACRUISER Posted March 27 #5 Share Posted March 27 I start with an empty rail then start to put clothes on it to suit trip, sometimes I just hang them all on wardrobe doors sometime I use a mannequin. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slidergirl Posted April 3 #6 Share Posted April 3 When I hear "lookbook" I think of Erika Jayne and her enterage coming up with a notebook full of looks for her to take on the Real Housewives trips 😂 Since I usually just think of what want to take and maybe pick up a few pieces that I think might be fun, I'm honestly a last-second packer. I give myself a "you gotta stop and get to the airport" time, I don't think a lookbook would be of use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love to see allow the different things. I always have time built in for just wandering. I don't program every minutes of a trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I've not done this -- but I'm considering it now. I have done something similar. I lay my main pieces on the bed and think about what I should add to "round it all out", consider what might be repetitive, etc. I move things around, asking myself, "How many tops can go with these shorts?" or "What will I wear on that excursion day?" This is sort of a "temporary look book". On 4/11/2024 at 1:26 PM, slidergirl said: My travel mantra has always been "I can buy it when I get there IF I need it." 😸 Nope, not an appealing thought. First, I might not locate the item I want -- then I'd be without. Second, I'm so short that everything needs hemming. IF I happen to find something nice to wear -- unlikely, given that I don't cruise to shop -- I might add it to what I've packed, but I will always pack everything I anticipate needing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give myself a "you gotta stop and get to the airport" time, I don't think a lookbook would be of use. I wear the same things, seasonally of course, when I travel as I do at home. So it just a matter of how many of certain things, pants, tops generally. And I like a lot of black shorts and pants so all the tops go with them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoloAlaska Posted June 10 #13 Share Posted June 10 I do this but especially since I’m loosing weight and needing to create my wardrobe. I also sew most of my cruise clothing myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoppyVelvet Posted June 11 #14 Share Posted June 11 I only wear dresses so there isn’t really a mix and match element. I lay out all the dresses and make sure I have a cardigan/scarf/jacket that will go with each. I only take one jacket if I can help it. And only two pairs of shoes so they are black or white or neutral. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threeboysmom333 Posted June 24 #15 Share Posted June 24 Very cool idea! Never thought of taking photos! I am an excel geek so I have a spreadsheet with all my favorite outfits listed under 2 columns: casual and evening. When I book a cruise or other vacation, I can look at my spreadsheet and start selecting the # of outfits I need. I'd love to get even more organized and sort by color scheme but not there yet! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
