I'm not sure what I'm going to wear on the plane to and from, but here's what I've mapped out so far - I actually have this in a spreadsheet - one outfit per day, so I can sort and see how often I am wearing individual pieces, to see if it justifies taking them along.
In a nutshell, it works out that I'm bringing:
- denim clams to be worn 4 times
- white clams only once - maybe on the plane too
- two skirts that can be worn twice each
- one skirt (the H&M grey and white one) that I have down for one wearing, but I could work it with other items as needed
- three dresses
- four cardis - green, white, pink and turquoise
- two pairs of flats and one pair of sandals
- 8 tops
- one purse (the light green tote)
- one black lightweight, easily packable, trench coat and umbrella
Mind you, I haven't tested to see if this will all fit in my bag yet. Hee hee! But, I'm tiny so my clothes don't take up much space.
The detail is below... Obviously, I won't wear these in this order - I have it sorted this way so you can see how I can get multiple uses out of certain items.
Please critique and let me know what you think!

The white clams are getting only one use here...
Depending on weather forecast, and how much room I have in the bag, I may throw in my white jeans too.
As far as the plane ride goes, I'm not sure .... I won't wear jeans because I swell too much and find them uncomfy for planes. I might wear a dress, or perhaps the white clams.
I did buy this UBER-comfy, hooded, lightweight, ultra-soft knit empire style, buttoned long-sleeve jacket, in a cobalt blue, from the Gap outlet recently. It's neither hoodie nor sweatshirt. I can't describe it, and it's not on their site.
It actually looks quite trendy and cute thrown over white clams. I bought it to wear on the plane, in lieu of a pashmina, but it will be nice for cooler days if there are any, or just throwing over my nightgown too.
I'm afraid the pashmina idea just doesn't work for me - I'm too short for it. I look like I'm dragging around a Linus blanket, not a stylish wrap.
