Hello fabbers, I am back from my two week work trip to France and just wanted to tell you how useful your last minute packing advice was! I packed my undies first like kkards said (I will never fail to do that again, I actually did forget to pack my underwear once, it was a beach resort but still!) and tried to build my capsule around one item, like Ornella did with her pretty scarf: my item was a pink bag. I made sure that everything went with it and it was smooth sailing. Simple, genius packing tip. I wish I had pictures to show you, the plan was to take some, but we were always working, in a hurry and surrounded by colleagues, so I was of course embarassed. But I felt fab and got lots of compliments! It was a swan song for my leather jackets and boots and most of my spring wardrobe though, because once we were back in Italy, summer was here to and fully blown. I am still laundering the heck out of them, but I find that I love my clothes better now that I have learnt how to make them work for me. Next year it will be even easier! Thanks!!
