Tote Bag Travel Capsule Wardrobe in Black, White and Red

October 17, 2016
 
 

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…Starting NOW!

Two scarves in black and red, to serve as the color palette for an overnight tripLiving Beyond Breast Cancer scarf – White House Black Market; shawl – Nordstrom
 

This is our color scheme, although careful scrutiny of the left scarf suggests that pink might have also been a possibility here:

Barely Enough Time…

Okay, she checks her watch…

Classic black dress with scarf and cardiganLiving Beyond Breast Cancer scarf – White House Black Market; earrings – Lagos; dress – Lands’ End; cardigan – Marks & Spencer; watch – Michael Kors; pumps – Patricia Green; tote – Tumi
 

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…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…

What to pack for overnight, in black and red in a travel capsule wardrobeEarrings – Fallon; bracelet – Henri Bendel; turtleneck – L..L.Bean; shawl – Nordstrom; pants – L.L.Bean; pumps – Nina; pajamas – DKNY; bag – Loeffler Randall; loafers – Louise et Cie
 

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…

    I love the scarf and that dress !! It would flatter just about any figure.

    I love everything about this wardrobe! This is the shade of red that I brought on this recent trip, and it is quite versatile. – nancyo

    My 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!

    It's nice to see a breast cancer awareness accessory that isn't all pink.

    Love 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!

    Great story, beautiful color scheme and apparel choices, and I love the fact that you included coordinating pajamas. This is going to be a fun series!

    This is fantastic. I'm just floored that there are three pairs of shoes involved, instead of just two.
