Here's my capsule for a 10-day trip along the coast of Maine and New Brunswick. The trip involves a few days in town with friends (and at the beach if the weather cooperates), several nights of tent camping, and a short overnight hike staying at a campsite by a pond. It's a car trip, so space isn't too much of an issue. I'll be able to do laundry if I have to, but would prefer to avoid it. First pic is gear: two swimsuits and towel, two synthetic tops (long sleeve and sleeveless), two pairs of shorts, lightweight hiking pants, Chacos, trail runners, light puffy, rain shell.

Second pile is town clothes: olive chinos, olive linen skirt, grey striped shirt (very lightweight), fitted black tank top, white denim jacket, black cotton cardi, two jersey dresses, plus tee and floral shorts as PJs/loungewear. The blush flats may end up just being for the drive, as it looks like it will be rainy much of the time. The sneakers are for around town (I figure if it is raining, I'll be happier in sneakers than in sandals -- or I'll wear the Chacos). Accessories are all part of my newish pale capsule.

#3 is everything on a camping pad. I'm really happy with both colour palettes -- the black/white/olive for casual and the jewel tones for gear. They mix and match fine with each other too, in a pinch. Minus shoes and jackets, everything fits in one-third of a large suitcase (sharing with DH and DS).
