Petrol Black and White for Uncertain Weather: A 12-Pack for Mostly Warm Weather

You probably remember that we started last Friday with a core of six garments that would be suitable for a long weekend, and then on Saturday, I expanded the capsule travel wardrobe to a 12-pack, for cooler weather.  Now I’m going to do basically the same thing, only oriented toward a much warmer visit…

Again, six carefully-chosen garments:

  1. Shorts – I like white, but you could easily choose black or petrol.
  2. A great printed tee shirt that includes all three of your colors. (that’s one outfit)
  3. A beautiful fluid top in your accent color, and
  4. A skirt that combines your accent color and either of your neutrals.
  5. Another top – dressier than a tee shirt – that can be worn with either of your neutrals, and
  6. A great, neutral dress.  

 Yes, this capsule is long on skirts – you could easily substitute shorts, capris or pants for the skirt and the dress.   And more sandals won’t go amiss…

  3. This is perfect for me. The country region where I live has a wonderful climate. It isn't like the warmfull regions of Brazil. I loved it. Thank you. Rosi. (sorry my english).

  5. This is so helpful! I am going to Florida in less than a week for Christmas! Of course, I am going to be bundled up when I leave my chilly city, and returning wearing the same outfit… but I had almost forgotten what it means, dressing for warmer temperatures.

  7. This is a wonderful base for a wardrobe. I really appreciate the ways you explain your choices. Understanding how and why you have made your choices is very, very helpful.
