    Thanks for this combo, I am traveling to Germany in May and plan on using a black, white and gray scheme. Might toss in a green top for evening. This gives me a visual to finish my plan! Hope Paris is a bit warmer than it is in D.C. which is in snow today!!!

    This doesn't really look like a "neutral" capsule, even though it is! Love it!

    Lovely as always…. and I think illustrates very well the benefits of timeless and classic clothes. The post, as you said is over a year old and yet the clothes and accessories still look very current. If you were putting this together today, would you change any of the components of the capsule???

      My guess would be that the crocheted Tee would be replaced by a lacy Tee, and the printed tees with more current prints… Apart from that, I agree with you completely!

    This was one of my very favorite packing capsules! I have thought about using it as a core to build an entire summer wardrobe. Susan in WA
