Thank you Sal, I have taken a second look at the weather, and it is supposed to be hot at least in the early part of the week. I am going to have a second look at my coat this morning. We are staying in one place. I am going to see how cumbersome my bag is then make a decision.
Thank you CardiffGirl. I think I will have second look at the coral. I might take my little waterproof jacket, but it is so unstylish, that I hadn't thought of it. Boottees it is.
Thank you The Cat. I might have a look at my trench. I haven't got an umbrella here (left it in the office - tut tut!) The green dress has not had so many outings so it will be good to wear it. I have a light wool jumper that I could take in lieu of the cashmere petrol blue, so that might work.
Joy, I am so looking forward to being part of Milan for a week, for that very reason!
Shevia, the bag is a little gem! I love the shape and I have so much that goes with it. I hadn't realised how drawn I am to the colour.
So, on this basis I am going to look at
1. swap out navy coat for a very light waterproof and then if do that take a navy blazer, thin navy jumper also and big scarf
2. buy an umbrella at the airport
3. think about the coral rather than the mustard
4. take my black bootees rather than my brogues
Thank you so much ladies, this is so helpful advice. Arrivederci!
