There is no easy way to write it, so I will come right out with it. This is a capsule for a music festival over two consecutive weekends in sunny Barcelona, with the very real possibility of being called away to a family funeral in chilly London. I ask you please not to judge, or expect details. I am simply trudging through events over which I have limited control, trying to make sure I can put clothes on my back.
Traveling for a minimum of ten days, possibly more. As always, obsessive about packing as light as possible, and this is more than I would normally carry. The festival formulae are tried and tested, striking the right balance between dressy and casual. Comfort is key. There will be an assortment of plain, printed and striped tees, only two shown here, and a hooded showerproof jacket, pale green. The bomber packs small and gives options on the blouses if I need to go to London. I will probably travel in a blazer, plisse skirt, striped tee and sneakers.
Does this look about right to you? Is there anything I’ve missed? What should I leave at home? Traveling Wednesday morning.
