    Hi from Portland area. Be sure to bring a lightweight rain jacket! It’s all about layers here this time of year…not really that cold so light scarfs, not thick ones. No one wears heavy anything except in mid winter! Fall is lovely here, so enjoy. 😊

    Interesting video! I am about to embark on a 3 week tour to Asia, whereby in each of the 3 countries the climate is quite different (ranging from very cold to mild, almost warm) which has made it difficult but obviously means layering is important. I decided on jewel tones, plus a bit of white, black and brown, including the following pieces, prioritising those that were either easy to wash/dry or didn't need such regular washing: 2 merino wool long sleeved dresses, 2 cotton&linen slip/pinafore dresses, 2 skorts, 1 pair of lightweight loose fit tencel trousers, 2 cardigans, 2 sweatshirts, 7 lightweight cashmere semi-sheer tops, 1 short sleeved body, 1 pair of black sneakers, 1 pair of black lightweight boots, 1 pair of colourful lace-up sturdier boots, 1 pair of brown warm shearling boots (I love shoes!), 2 belts, 2 scarves, 2 beanies, 1 ultra lightweight down jacket, 1 sheepskin waistcoat for layering over jacket on very cold days, 1 medium handbag/tote for out and about, 1 larger handbag/tote for carry-on.
    And I still have half a suitcase worth of space for bringing things home :)

    I've seen the 3x3 before but not with the try-on. That was really helpful to see it's not as dull as it can look in the grid. Thank you for putting in the extra work! The other thing to point out is if I'm going to be wearing each shirt 3-4 times in two weeks, this option probably requires being able to wash them somewhere along the way.

    Thank you for showing this. I’ve watched a lot of “travel light” videos but this is a new concept to me. Once I’ve laid out my fav pieces in a 3 color story, the hardest part will be editing down to my fav 9 main pieces, shoes, & small bag. I may take a solid dress, which will count as a “bottom” when paired with different tops, jackets, and scarves. To make it fun, I may have a cup of tea and pretend I’m choosing things to try on in a fancy store for outfits I may buy! (Hmm… I may try to stick to 3 colors next time I’m shopping in a real store!) 😉

    • @GenxGypsy1968

      The silk is pretty lightweight, so unless you wore some heavier tights or even leggings underneath, I think you might get chilly outdoors.
