As you might already know, I’ll be in Italy when this post goes “live”! But I’ve got 2 weeks of lovely capsule wardrobes lined up for you, all of them starting with a pair of scarves. From there, our protagonist is going to spend one quick (but lovely!) night somewhere…
This is our color scheme, although careful scrutiny of the left scarf suggests that pink might have also been a possibility here:
As soon as she’s off the train and in the cab,
(1) change earrings,
(2) add bracelet,
(3) change shoes,
(4) stuff cardigan in bag and grab wrap, and
(5) make sure she has what she needs in her gorgeous evening bag…
As soon as she’s out of the cab, she’s going to hand HIM the tote bag, and let him worry about it the rest of the evening! After all, he’s the one who gave her TWO HOURS NOTICE to prepare for the fund-raising dinner…
Starting NOW!

Barely Enough Time…
Okay, she checks her watch…

Worst case – the way she’s dressed coming off the train is still dressier, and nicer, than a lot of the other attendees at this little shindig…

This hotel better be pretty nice…

p.s. Generally speaking, I’m pretty suspicious of…. well, most things, frankly! I’m particularly leery of anything that purports of being a charity fund-raiser; I want to see numbers and facts. But this scarf is beautiful, all on its own, and the donation is nearly 50% of the retail price, which is pretty impressive…

October 17, 2016 at 11:31 amMy favourite colour combination of all time so what's not to love! This is the type of packing that I aspire to – don't think I've quite made it there yet but I'm getting close!

October 17, 2016 at 1:30 pmLove the new chart format for saving to Pinterest. Makes it easy to pin to a specific board (I'm creating a new board called, you guessed it – Tote Bag Travel). Being able to see everything at a glance is awesome and simplifies the whole packing dilemma. I can imagine how useful this new board will be after two weeks of these posts!

October 17, 2016 at 8:28 pmThis is fantastic. I'm just floored that there are three pairs of shoes involved, instead of just two.
