We fly out tomorrow and the weather looks...unpredictable!
Highs will be between 18-20 and lows around 11, but for the rest it looks like thunderstorms, sun, cloud, showers, and everything in between -- on all the days we will be visiting!
We're no strangers to variable weather, but it does make packing and dressing for a day/ evening out a bit of a challenge!
I am checking a bag. I have several dressy evenings, several urban-casual days, several slightly dressier urban days, one day-into-evening that has to be both casual and more dressy, with no opportunity to go back and change between times, and, as I mentioned, I am going to need clothes for different weather eventualities.
Below is my tentative packing list:
Footwear: blue flatform oxford, white oxford, silver slingback, silver eneaker. (I had wanted to take the red Mary Janes but in all honesty don't think I would choose them for a long day of walking). ALL shoes waterproofed. If it really does rain a lot, I'm likely to wear the navy oxfords and the silver sneakers the most.
Toppers: Packable raincoat, denim jacket, Paul Smith linen/wool blazer, jersey military jacket.
Gilet: Burgundy Theory (part of co-ord set, but also works as a sleeveless top with the pants and/or coordinates with jeans and Dries pants).
Knitwear: Cotton t-neck, silk/cotton leopard cardigan, cotton mariner tee.
Shirts/ blouses, LS: Denim shirt, striped cotton shirt, blue silk popover, silk cat print shirt,.
Tops for layering or warmer than expected weather: Ecru Everlane, navy BR sleeveless.
Evening/ dressy tops: Vince l/s silk popover burgundy blouse (not a dress, as in Finds photo). Blue peplum top. Silver sleeveless top.
Bottoms: Navy wide legs, Curve jeans, burgundy Theory pants (part of co-ord set, navy skirt, Dries cotton/linen pants (good for warmer weather).
Bags: Silver Pom Pom London, Burgundy hobo.
2 scarves
PJs
Undies
Packable umbrella/ rainhat
Am I neglecting anything, missing anything?
Here are a few try-ons mostly without any bags, jewellery, etc -- so partly but not wholly styled, if you get my meaning. I did not try everything with everything but it pretty much coordinates in a wide variety of combinations.
QUESTIONS: Should I bring merino pullover as well?
Anything missing?
