You may recall last week I started thinking about my travel wardrobe for an upcoming three-week trip to Vietnam, Cambodia and Japan. I am not used to traveling light, but I am determined to fit everything into one bag this trip, even though I will need clothes for one week in cold weather and one week in hot weather.

I am still pretty happy with the cold-weather capsule I put together in the last post (photo 1) , although I may remove one of the four pair of pants and change out of top or two. I had an absolute revelation about the warm weather capsule after getting such wise input from you ladies, though, and here is the result.

I found these fantastic cotton long-sleeved tees at Target, and got one in every color. They are perfect for my goal of being covered up (for modesty and against mosquitos) yet cool (they're nicely soft and lightweight), they won't take up much room in the suitcase, they're washable, and they can be layered under the cool-weather items in the cooler climates. I figure I will just make them a "uniform" along with the linen-blend trousers I purchased a while ago, and a great LL Bean cotton skirt I found at the consignment store today.

I snapped some pics and I'm happy with the basic look (sorry about the lack of focus -- still getting used to my new camera! also, I know the pants need hemming). What say you? Better? (The last three looks are for evenings aboard the river boat rather than for sightseeing, BTW.)

ETA: Tweaked the cold-weather capsule. Last photo shows the latest version. I'll wear the boots and the bulkiest sweater on the plane. Warm weather capsule is repeated next to it for the sake of completeness so I can see them together.
