Has anyone used AI for travel wardrobe ideas?

I was reading an article in the NYT today about travel planning using some of the AI apps. One man wrote in the comments that he was using ChatGPT for planning a travel wardrobe for an upcoming Viking Cruise in October. He used a prompt with details about himself, and got some great results. In fact, his wife was so happy about the list, she told him to use it and buy new clothes (evidently, she is not happy with his chosen clothes choices, lol!).

I've used GhatGPT for travel planning but not for a travel wardrobe so I decided test it out. Here's the prompt I used:

Can you help me put together a travel wardrobe for my upcoming trip? I am a 70 year old, 5’4” woman who weighs xxx lbs. I usually wear size x in tops and a size x in pants. I have light blondish-auburn hair and grey-blue eyes. I like to pack light and travel with a TravelPro Maxlite 4 21" carry-on spinner. My personal bag is a Bagsmart Blast Travel Backpack (standard) that holds 28L. I don’t want to look like a tourist when I travel. I do not like to wear dresses. I will be in Romania from September 14 through October 6, and then will spend 5 nights in Budapest before heading home. Most of the clothing should be casual but I am going to the opera one night in Budapest so will need something a little bit dressier for that.

It gave me a complete capsule wardrobe with color, fabric and pattern recommendations, along with layering advice, accessories, numbers of each item, website links, price estimates per item. After that, it organized the list into a grid with sample combinations, gave me color palette examples, then turned it into a packing list (with checkboxes), and a list organized in categories. There was even a Travel Wardrobe Chart that went through each day with suggested outfits.

It was interesting and I will definitely use a lot of the suggestions, although I did edit a few things. For example, it suggested 3 pairs of shoes, and I will change that to 2. I will also omit the blazer (but keep the cardigan in). Regardless, it was a fun exercise!

Mardee, dear, there's therapy for this. (wink)

Mardee!

Leading the technology edge for travel with AI. Fun! Good for you!
AI may eliminate the RS travel forum. Oh No!
I saw a YouTube video where a 20 ish man used a travel AI App. or whatever you call it, to plan his itinerary for NYC. Then, he did it to see how well it worked. He had an interesting trip with some hits and misses. It was a fun adventure that he shared. He answered questions and typed in some personal preferences and costs. He wanted a “local” unique restaurant with good food and decor near his hotel. He ended up as a single guy in a “romantic” couples upscale restaurant. Not quite what he was going for. But, still enjoyed the place - had fun with it. Decor and food was unique. Not for everyone, though.

Ha ha! There's therapy for a lot of things, Kate, but I don't think travel planning is one of them. :-)

AI may eliminate the RS travel forum.

I very much doubt that, Sun-Baked. I think people will always want to engage with other. :-) I do wonder how it will affect guidebooks, but TBH, I think that the prevalence of blogs and social media is already causing a dip in guidebook sales. I believe most of Rick's business comes from tours, though so I doubt he would be affected that much.

Just an FYI (and this NOT meant to be a negative response to the replies here; just an explanation for why I posted this). This post was for those who might like to try doing a bit of trip planning or travel planning wardrobe using AI, but aren't sure how. Like it or not, AI is here to stay and it will become much more prevalent over the coming months and years. ;-)

David, I do know that AI gets it wrong sometimes, and that's why I never rely on the information without verifying it. FWIW, when I asked for the opera dress recommendation, ChatGPT made no mention of a dress code (and I am aware that the Hungarian State Opera has no dress code). Here was its recommendation:

Special Outfit for Opera

Dark ponte pants + silky or drapey blouse + ponte blazer/jacket + flats or ankle boots

Add a statement necklace or scarf → elegant but not fussy, no dress required

The dark ponte pants and drapey blouse work for me along with the necklace, but I'll be vetoing the ankle boots and blazer and sticking with flats. I'll probably substitute a dressier cardigan for the blazer, which I already own.

Aren't you glad you asked? :-)

It is fun, Katie, isn't it? I enjoy it and like you, it's fun to get so many research ideas!

I very much doubt that AI would advise me to wear my least worn gardening clothes and shoes, which is what I wear....

Nancy, your gardening clothes must be a lot nicer than mine, lol! Although I'll bet if you asked ChapGPT how to travel with your existing wardrobe, it would give you tips on how to incorporate a nice scarf with your gardening clothes. :-)

Mardee, this is perfect timing! I've got the clothes for my upcoming trip hanging on hooks and I'm still swapping pieces as the weather forecast begins to show my dates. And hopefully narrowing down the pieces I'll take!

I added this to my AI prompt.

I will have a washing machine on Day 9. After that I'll be changing hotels every 1 or 2 nights.

And I asked it to "Please outline a daily wardrobe with these travel clothes."

I chuckled when the 2nd week included this comment.

"Hotel-hopping begins; outfits need to be easy and repeatable."

It did a good job of rotating through the clothes and even suggested what to wear on laundry day!

I may need to go shopping for its suggested "lightweight sweater." Gotta love a shopping suggestion!

Or I could tell it to replace that with something I own...

Mardee, I love this! I spent the day yesterday going through my clothes to select my travel clothes for this week’s trip to Italy, among other “to do” items before the trip. Maybe I could have just submitted photos of everything and let AI select the final few!

On the topic of therapy, I remember a fun quote in my first solo European trip report: ”I planned my first solo vacation to Europe. I read some place that “Solo travel is empowering, renewing, intellectually challenging and gives you the opportunity to reintroduce yourself to yourself - much cheaper than therapy and certainly more fun.” Since I retired in July 2018, this trip was perfect timing.”

I do wonder if our “Forum Enabler” is trying to help all of us, or is this a great excuse to buy more clothes? LOL!

What the heck are ponte pants? If they're not denim I'm not wearing 'em and AI can't make me.

@CWsocial, I’ve pretty much narrowed down my clothes, but I am looking at those daily forecasts to see where I should go my first three days - ugh! Looks like it’s going to be very rainy at Lake Maggoire and somewhat south, and I’m always outdoors at the lake. I’m currently balancing going to either Stresa, Cremona or Florence… Purposely packing a quick-dry dress for any rainy days.

Ponte is a double knit fabric usually made of a blend of various synthetics (rayon/polyester/nylon) sometimes wool, and spandex. It has been very popular for women's dresses, pants and tops. It come in various weights and usually in solid colours.

Rayon is semi-synthetic- highly processed cellulose base fiber.

I'm very cautious and haven't used AI for any trip planning, whether destination or packing. Especially for packing I wouldn't want to share that level of personal information. Maybe I will feel different in a few years. Remember how cautious people were about on line shopping2 0+ years ago. Though I still don't actually buy much online - it's good for research. I need to try on clothes/ shoes etc.

Mardee, this was great! Here’s what I wrote, and what it replied:

Can you help me put together a travel wardrobe for my upcoming trip? I am a 68 year old, 5’8” woman who weighs xx lbs. I usually wear size xx in tops and a size xx in pants. I have white short hair and goldish-green eyes. I like to pack light and travel with only a Cotopaxi Allpa 35 liter bag and purse. I don’t want to look like a tourist when I travel. I like to wear some dresses. I will be in northern Italy from (date range). I wash my clothes each night in the hotel sink. I am going to the opera in Milan, an outdoor concert at the Roman Arena in Verona, and 1-2 cooking classes. I like to spend time in churches and photography.

I’d love to help you put together a travel wardrobe that’s both functional and stylish! Northern Italy can be warm but gradually gets cooler in the evenings, so layering will be key. Here’s a mix of versatile, comfortable items that you can mix and match and still feel put together for everything from exploring churches to attending a concert or the opera.

Key Principles:
Light and Compact: With your Cotopaxi Allpa 35-liter bag, you’ll need to stick to versatile items that you can wash easily, dry quickly, and layer.
Comfortable and Stylish: You’ll want to look chic but also be able to walk and explore comfortably.
Smart-casual Aesthetic: To avoid looking like a tourist, we’ll focus on neutral or earthy tones, simple patterns, and stylish cuts.

Tops:
1 White Linen or Cotton Blouse: Classic and fresh, great for layering or dressing up for the opera or evening events.
2-3 Versatile Shirts/Tops:
One with a slightly dressy look, like a flowy, relaxed fit blouse in a muted color (light grey, navy, or olive).
One in a soft pattern (like stripes or a subtle floral) to mix up your looks. A shirt with a small collar or a slight v-neck will keep it flattering without being too formal.
A lightweight, moisture-wicking t-shirt or tunic in a neutral color (charcoal, white, or beige) for casual days.

Bottoms:
1 Pair of Stretchy, Comfortable Pants: A dark, neutral pair of leggings or travel pants (perhaps something with a cuffed ankle or a relaxed silhouette) that’s easy to move in for sightseeing.
1 Pair of Classic, Slim-Fit Pants: In a neutral color like navy or khaki, these can be dressed up or down. Look for a wrinkle-resistant fabric that won’t crease too easily.
1 Skirt or Dressy Shorts: A knee-length, A-line skirt in a neutral color (black or navy) can double as a casual or dressier piece, especially for evening events.

Dresses are perfect for the warm weather and packing light.
1 Simple, Sleeveless Dress: Look for a midi-length, sleeveless dress (linen or cotton) that can be dressed up for the opera or outdoor concert with a scarf or shawl.
1 Casual Dress: A wrap dress or a simple t-shirt dress with an interesting pattern or color that you can throw on for a day of exploring churches, markets, or cooking classes.

Outerwear:
Light Cardigan or Sweater: Evenings can be cool, especially in northern Italy’s mountainous areas, so pack a thin, lightweight cardigan in a neutral color (beige, olive, or grey) for layering over your dresses or tops.

Light Jacket: A travel-friendly, packable jacket in a neutral color that can be folded into your bag. Something waterproof, like a windbreaker, is great for unexpected rain showers.

Too many shoes, plus two scarves

Consider:
Opera in Milan: A simple but elegant dress or blouse with your classic pants or a skirt. Pair with a light shawl or pashmina. Comfortable heels or stylish flats if you don’t want to wear heels for walking.

Outdoor Concert at Roman Arena in Verona: A flowy dress or tunic with pants. Make sure to have a light layer (like a cardigan or jacket) in case it gets cool.

Cooking Classes: A comfortable, easy-to-move-in outfit (perhaps one of your breathable cotton tops and pants).
It also recommended limiting toiletries.

Linen or gauze tunics from Jones New York (bought on eBay), stretchy pants from Lands End, Altra sneakers. "Slobby but barely acceptable" is my style. I do actually have a silk scarf for Italy, but I never know how to tie it --- I was the despair of my fancypants garden club and someone always came over and tweaked it in some magic way.

looking at those daily forecasts to see where I should go my first three days

Jean, how fun to be able to look at the weather and pivot! I assumed you made all of your lodging reservations in advance.

I'm often in Denver for a week before the start of my Europe trips, so I can't see much of the forecast before I leave home. Mom has been letting me leave whatever I want in Denver - so long as it fits in "my" room. It helps to have some clothes there that I can swap.

There's an advantage to my occasional shorter trips - I can see the entire forecast!

AI is a massive change that is only in its earliest stages. I can’t predict 20 years from now. My daughter will be heavily impacted by it. It will be used for both good and evil. People may interact more with machines than other people! The population may go down quickly. Definitely a slippery slope!

CWSocial, I love those additional prompts! I should have mentioned my laundry schedule! And as for the lightweight sweater, I just found a nice one at Costco, lol! Nice colors, nice weight, with a soft and comfy feel to it, and only $16.99. I got the grey one but the green is a nice color, too. https://www.costco.com/lucky-brand-womens-v-neck-sweater.product.4000320220.html (more expensive online). And I solved my cardigan issue by ordering one from Quince, my new favorite store. Very reasonable prices for quality clothing, and I now have a lovely lightweight black cardigan!

Jean, wow, you really covered some territory with yours! You always look so nice in your photos, so I'm sure anything you put on will be just lovely! And yes, I can't stop the enabling, lol! I always have an urge to share my shopping joy. :-)

Kate, Susan covered the "ponte" pants well, but adding that I have a wonderful pair of Eileen Fisher black ponte pants that I love to death. I bought them about 10-12 years ago when I was still working and they are still in great shape. They are very comfy, nice looking (I plan on wearing them to the opera), and are lightweight and wrinkle-free.

nancy, I'm not big on scarves, although I do force myself to wear them on occasion when I need to be a bit dressier, but there are about a bazillion You Tube tutorials on how to tie a scarf. :-)

Mardee this is very interesting. I like that you and Jean posted how you asked your question and the detail you gave it. I also liked the comment that AI search on your destination is giving you a lot other research.

My only real experience in AI is looking at itineraries posted on the Yellowstone TA forum. It's clear from they way you both phrased your requests that the people asking for information are not putting enough information in as the itineraries are almost without exception unreasonable.

Have either of you looked at The Vivienne Files blog to see if she has a wardrobe that would fit? I like her blog for the visuals of color combinations although many of her clothing choices are too dressy/expensive for me.

Mardee, I like that Costco pullover sweater. I was checking out the cream colored one and then realized that I have a cream colored pullover top, exact same cut, that should do for a layering strategy. I'm not sure whether to be happy or disappointed ;-)

Oh, and I saved my AI prompt in my OneNote packing section.

Pam, that's an interesting blog and definitely looks like it would be nice for color choices. I will check it out when I have a bit of time, as it looks like I could easily take a deep-dive into it and not come out for awhile. :-)

And yes to what you said about the prompts people use. It really makes a difference, and lots of people don't realize that you can continue fine-tuning your prompts. I did a rather broad request a few days ago for Scandinavia information, based on help I've received here on the forum, and went back several times, adding to and subtracting from my initial prompt. It really makes a difference in the responses you get. And that also goes back to getting info ahead of time. The fact that I was already armed with some knowledge based on the forum threads here helped me to fine-tune what I was receiving (and asking for).

CW, duh!!!! Why didn't I think of that? Excellent idea!!! I did save the PDF's AI gave me, including the checklist but saving the prompt is a great idea.

This is a really old Youtube video on scarf-tying. The gal is so darn cute and they did this video before the days of Youtube stardom.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LYAEz777AU

I've been using a new tie on my scarves BUT I implore everyone NOT to use anything complex when coming thru the Security line when re-entering the US. Yikes. I was in a hurry as I had a fairly quick connection and I could not get the dang scarf off at the security line. I must have had a strangled look on my face because the woman waved me to the scanner and the guy motioned me thru. It was a smallish scarf so they could see that it wasn't covering anything. I won't do that again.

This was fascinating! Thanks for all the AI shares.
The Costco sweater looks pretty in all the colors but I see that it's 80% polyester so would require a lot of laundering (at least for me!)
Quince makes a beautiful cashmere sweater for only $50 and a cotton blend with a hint of cashmere for $30. I own multiples of both and love them.

Stan asked the 1st question that came to my mind.

Did you ask if your bags, when packed, will pass muster with the airlines you will be using?

Posted by

One piece of advice for anyone trying this out themselves to use their recommendations- include your color palette, i.e. Spring, Summer, etc. that looks best on you. I am a Winter, and the colors they suggested - grey, olive, beige would make me look like I had the flu during my trip. I do like the descriptions of outfits they suggested, though. : )

I have not used for wardrobe, but have started using for a bit of help with trip planning.

SharYn, the cardigan I got from Quince was the cashmere one, and I love it—it feels so cool and nice next to the skin and drapes beautifully!

Joe, I did not. No need to, because I've used both bags on multiple trips and know they will both pass muster.

Jean, I'll bet you could let ChatGPT know your color palate (either initially or add in later) and it will make sure the colors work for you.

Tammy, how is it working out for you? I really like planning with it, and have found it helpful. As I mentioned above, I never take it at face value but it's invaluable for the information it can produce. It even gave me a timeline checklist for the Scandinavia trip that goes month-to-month telling me what I need to do timeline-wise.

I used the original query structure and tweaked my wardrobe for my upcoming trip. The AI did a nice job of suggesting a daily rotation of what to wear. But I'm not using its exact wardrobe suggestion, So I decided to turn the query upside down and give my exact wardrobe as input to the AI, asking it to tell me what to wear each day.

AI prompt: I am taking the following wardrobe on a trip to Romania from Sept 10 - Oct 4. Please give me a list of what to wear each day to rotate through the clothes. (Then I provided a list at the level of detail of pants, skirts, long sleeve tops, short sleeve tops, cardigan and jacket.

It came back with a "simple and practical daily outfit rotation that:"

Maximizes variety without repeating full outfits
Accounts for layering (for warmth and style)
Plans for laundry roughly once per week (I'll need to adjust this)
Uses your dress and scarf combo occasionally
Includes raincoat/jacket use for cooler or rainy days (especially later in the trip)

I'm going to play around with this approach for a while and see where it leads....

ETA:
I had to get very specific with layering rules. And because not all of my colors are perfect mix and match, I had to give it a few color clash rules. For personal preference, I had to tell it that I only want to wear 2 colors at a time, never 3.

With all those rules, it gave me a table with a daily outfit rotation. And while the table is very nice, it's not exactly a mind blowing AI accomplishment!

CWSocial, that's a brilliant idea! I'm going to experiment with that and try it out for my upcoming 6-day trip to my brother's lake house. The clothing choices won't be exactly the same as they will for the Romania trip but it will be fun to see what I get.

Pam, I missed your story before about getting strangled by your scarf going through the TSA line! I almost spit out my coffee! Glad you made it through relatively unscathed!

Will do, TTM—and I'll make sure there's a black cardigan in the mix!

Mardee, thanks for this fun extra for travel planning. I’m hanging out at my husband’s deer camp this weekend (the things we do for love) and have had plenty of time to go down the rabbit hole and play around. I’ve never done anything on ChatGPT before and it was very interesting and fun but almost a little creepy how conversational it is as you make adjustments here and there. It’s close to human conversation, isn’t it?

I’m also happy to hear you’ve had good luck with ordering from Quince. It’s another company I was unaware of before finding it here on the forum. I’m very tempted to try another cashmere sweater from them. I’ve been so burned out by cashmere pilling too much to keep up with and regretting buying it. But I so love the weight and warmth especially for travel.

Mardee and CW, y’all just send me the results and save me trouble.

And trouble it has turned out to be.

I had to keep reminding the AI engine of my color choices (teal doesn't go with burgundy) and layering preferences (must wear any long sleeved layer over sleeveless tops) and laundry rules (don't wear a l/s top more than twice after laundry day.)

It was very polite about it ("Oh, you're right, good catch") but still couldn't keep all the choices/preferences/rules straight. Even when I spelled them out very clearly. And if I reminded it of one rule, it would correct that and forget a different one.

I asked my brother (who is writing a book with the help of AI) about this seeming lack of attention to detail. He said "fashion takes genius (haha) we don't have A.G. yet."

OK, so I looked up AG and the differences from AI. (forgive me, I'm just a boomer, trying to keep up!)

"The key difference is that AI refers to any artificial intelligence
system, encompassing both existing, narrow AI that specializes in
specific tasks, and the future theoretical concept of AGI, while AGI
(Artificial General Intelligence) is a specific type of AI aiming for
human-level intelligence capable of learning and applying knowledge
across many different, unrelated tasks, a feat not yet achieved"

So, then I asked AI "why isn't AI smart enough to take a list of travel clothes and rules and follow those rules to make a daily wardrobe list"

"AI isn't sophisticated enough for complex, dynamic tasks like
generating a daily travel wardrobe from a list of rules and clothes
because it currently struggles with deep understanding of context and
nuance, creative problem-solving, and implicit reasoning – the skills
needed to perfectly balance style, practicality, and unspoken social
norms inherent in fashion decisions. While AI can suggest outfits
based on existing data and some rules, it lacks the human ability to
truly grasp the multifaceted nature of a travel wardrobe."

In other words, if I were to stick to the simple rule of travel colors (everything has to match everything else) it would probably be ok. But throw in exceptions like a one-off top that can only be worn with it's companion piece, and it can't keep track of it all.

Options I am considering ...leave the one-off top out of the wardrobe model .... or leave it out of the suitcase ;-)

Cross-responding to your Hotel Wishlist post, Mardee, I'm imagining my Jetsons travel future where I tell my AG robot where I'm going and when and ask it to put together my wardrobe. Of course, because it's MY robot, it already knows my color preferences and layering style and laundry rules.

And I suppose it already knew (from my Calendar) that I was traveling in September, so it figured out my wardrobe and packed it for me in time for my trip - without me needing to ask.

Hey, it's my WISH list!!

Slightly off subject, but looking at videos of the way many tourist in Europe are dressed, it would appear that some intelligence is needed even if it is artificial.

I’m also happy to hear you’ve had good luck with ordering from Quince. It’s another company I was unaware of before finding it here on the forum.

Lyndash, I do love everything I've ordered from them so far. One top that came was too big and it was super easy to exchange. And they paid the shipping both ways. I first spotted them on Facebook, and their clothes (and prices) looked nice, but I'm not about to buy something based on a FB ad. So when folks here started recommending Quince, I decided to take the leap.

With regards to cashmere pilling, I bought a cashmere comb from Quince for $10, which will hopefully alleviate that! :-)

"He said "fashion takes genius (haha) we don't have A.G. yet.""

Oh my...that made me laugh out loud!

Because of this thread and a few other things....I started organizing my packing for 4.5 weeks hence, hahahaha!! I had been throwing stuff in the suitcase so really just organized it so the lid would close. I'm packing the same things more or less that I packed for Scotland in June so it's pretty much a no-brainer. All shirts go with all pants go with all topper layers.

For the record, I like the combo of teal and burgundy but it has to be the "right" teal and the "right" burgundy.

Pam, so true. Plus, there are certain shades of teal I can wear and others that must never darken my door again. BTW, did you know the German word for teal is Petrol?

This AI thing could be addictive. Feed in the most preposterous travel information and let’s see what the computer does.

Ha ha,Sun-Baked, it would be interesting to see what does come out. :-)

Mardee, I’m laughing to myself at what your post & the AI’s recommendation has done to me! I ”thought” I had my travel clothes selected over the weekend. But now…….. I think it’s because of this sentence, ” I don’t want to look like a tourist when I travel.”

Last night and this morning I am rethinking which dresses to take. I had three - a nice one for the opera, dinners, etc.; a quick-dry one that’s fantastic and a “go to” choice; and a black t-shirt midi dress that’s very versatile day/evening with scarfs.

This morning: “What about my cute linen dress, instead of the black dress? It has short sleeves & dips below my knees, too - perfect for churches and looks less like a tourist…. Guess you will see the final outcome in my Facebook photos! A combo Ugh & LOL today!

I ”thought” I had my travel clothes selected over the weekend

Me too, Jean! I'm looking at the tan pants that went to Peru - where they were entirely appropriate for hiking around the ancient ruins. I liked the simplicity that tan added to my warm weather wardrobe rotations. But thinking that I can do better than hiking pants for Romania. We shall see what I find this week!

  • I like the combo of teal and burgundy but it has to be the "right" teal and the "right" burgundy.*

I agree! And while these my colors maybe (maybe?) are ok, their different fabrics sway the balance to a definite no.

Since I was still enjoying the AI challenge, I decided to do away with the color matching rules and let it give me a matrix of all possible combinations. Then I asked it to subtract the ones that I didn't like, one rule at a time. It was a little bit better with that than with all the rules at once.

And then it got the dates all wrong:
Day 15-21 (Sept 19-21)

That's 3 calendar dates, for which it gave me 7 wardrobe days. Or maybe it thinks I'm changing clothes for evenings ;-)

Posted by

Jane, I have it a little easier because I’m not bringing any dresses, lol! Although maybe I should just to impress my two travel mates! :-)

CW, I’m actually thinking about bringing a pair of tan pants. Well, they’re more of a tannish-green, which sounds weird but they’re not really green but more of a sage green color. At any rate, they are Gap pants, and I really like them. They are comfortable, although they are a titch heavier than the pants I usually bring. I don't know if I would call them hiking pants or not. They are definitely casual.

And that's actually probably way more information than you wanted to know about my non-tan pants, lol! Sorry, but I got on a roll…

maybe I should just to impress my two travel mates

You know, I can't remember a single outfit that my travel mate on my last trip wore. Except perhaps one top, because I was with her when she bought it.

The thing that impresses me about my own clothes is when they are comfortable enough that I don't think about them while I'm busy sightseeing!

And whichever tan pants I bring, I'll be wearing them at least half a dozen times! Thank goodness for a washing machine after the first 10 days!

Well, no tan (or sage) pants for me - all black. Maybe I’ll change outfits at night to impress my travel mates. LOL!

I did NOT know that. And oddly I remember some company had clothing in a color called Petrol and I wondered...what the heck is that?

Pam, I'd probably wind up drinking it and my travel mates would be stuck with my alcohol breath and Eau de BO. I'd better stick to deodorant, lol!

Alright, had to try this out and it definitely chose my favorite colors - teal, emerald, plum, wine, sage and dusty rose along with the neutrals. Supposedly I'll look vibrant, coordinated and polished.
Thanks Mardee for posting this and I'm another Quince shopper.
It was a fun experiment.

@Leslie - we will want a fashion show at the next meet up! You will not have left on your trip yet. The bathroom is pretty small at Woops but maybe we can block off a change area for you, hahaha!!! (heart emoji!!)
