Help! I have been applying for jobs overseas and I realise I am going to need a capsule wardrobe that is very specific! Any ideas for a capsule will be most welcome. I will be working at a University teaching and mentoring foreign students. Because it is a Muslim country I need to be more or less covered with slacks and sleeved tops or longish skirts/dresses. The rule is half sleeve tops minimum , I am not sure if I can wear short sleeves with a topper on all the time but I imagine so....... I have a couple of very stylish jackets that I could wear in navy and black and some dark trousers. I am not very tall (5.4) so don't usually wear long skirts at all, they swamp me! The country will be hot for four months in summer but fairly cool/freezing with snow in the winter.

I have lots of sleeveless tops in lovely colours and patterns, do you think I could layer these and use them in my wardrobe for the job? It will be heated in the buildings in winter and may well be cold with air con in the summer....

Thanks in advance xxx
