I only carry one handbag when I travel, longchamp tote internationally, or whatever I happen to be using domestically, usually LV. My e-ring goes with me to Europe/Australia/NZ/etc, but stays at home for South America/Mexico/etc. I don't really accessorize otherwise so that just stays the same - diamond pendant, gold and jade bracelet. I don't dress up and do fancy outings at home or on vacation so clothing is the same where ever I go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-do-you-take-nice-things#post-860805 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 21:11:40 +0000 matador84 860805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't. It's just not worth losing or getting the attention drawn to in my opinion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-do-you-take-nice-things#post-860786 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 20:55:24 +0000 shopaholic 860786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: @sunny: Same! I bring my DSLR, but my "travel-friendly" clothes are always the same ones, so it often looks like I just wear the same things on every trip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-do-you-take-nice-things#post-860779 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 20:53:10 +0000 oliviaoblivia 860779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends. If I'm just going to lay on the beach I'll bring comfortable bummy clothes. If I'm in Europe I end up doing a lot of visiting and need nice things for fancier dinners. I always wear my engagement ring but don't bring anything super flashy. If I feel uncomfortable I'll spin my ring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-do-you-take-nice-things#post-860773 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 20:48:16 +0000 Sapphiresun 860773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really have a lot of nice things, but I do wear my e-ring pretty much everywhere. But it's not overly ostentatious or anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-do-you-take-nice-things#post-860767 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 20:44:39 +0000 sunny 860767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Internationally, I try to bring clothing that is functional... Meaning things I can layer and wear several times without it looking too gross. And I almost always bring a pair of sneakers to wear on the plane. I also don't bring any jewelry or any nice purses. I do bring my nice DSLR and that gives me away as a tourist though :-( I've gone back and forth on wearing my e-ring. On one hand (ha ha), it could get stolen at home. On the other, I might lose it or get targeted if we are travelling. </p> <p>Domestically I dress as I do at home though I will bring my most travel friendly purse and shoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-do-you-take-nice-things#post-860734 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 20:33:24 +0000 fancyfunction 860734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never wore my e-ring when traveling internationally. Can't remember if I brought it to Chicago last summer, but if I didn't it was prob b/c I was 5 mo. pregnant and concerned about swelling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-do-you-take-nice-things#post-860732 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 20:32:28 +0000 heffalump 860732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have many nice things. I do take my ering though I asked my mil what she did because it was her ering first and she said she took it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-do-you-take-nice-things#post-860728 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 20:30:33 +0000 wheres_c 860728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends on where I'm going. Europe I take the nice stuff....Mexico and South America I leave it at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-do-you-take-nice-things#post-860727 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 20:29:51 +0000 Smurfette 860727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually always bring my rings. Lock them in the safe during the day and then wear then out to dinner. I hate not wearing mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-do-you-take-nice-things#post-860707 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 20:19:54 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 860707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah....its so sad. I always look bummy on vacations! I just don't want to risk getting stuff stolen or lost. I do bring our camera though...I wouldn't take my ering for sure!<br /> I do bring nice clothing...but no jewelry or expensive shoes or purses or my expensive sun glasses...So, I don't look too awesome, but well.<br /> If I was going overseas, i'd try even *more* not to draw attention to myself or appear to have money because, there are people who prey on tourist specifically. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-do-you-take-nice-things#post-860699 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 20:15:59 +0000 shopaholic 860699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When you travel Internationally or Domestically, do you take your nicer things/valuables? </p> <p>For Int'l travel, I always leave my E-ring and nice purses, jewelry, etc. at home. We never want to draw too much attention to ourselves and don't want to risk getting things stolen or be a target. I have a "fake" e-ring I always meant to wear for traveling, but I think I've only taken it once. I know a lot of people who always take their nice purses and wear expensive jewelry regardless of where they travel! I was just reading something about someone who wanted to take like 3 Chanels in her checked luggage! </p> <p>Domestically, I would usually pack/dress as I do at home, but only what I will wear on the plane (carry-on). </p> <p>What do you do? </p>
