Capsule Wardrobe

As I was on holiday last week, so I'm writing from experience about the capsule wardrobe. I think the capsule wardrobe is just a fancy term for a small-ish set of vaguely co-ordinated (depending on your edge factor I presume) clothes you take in bag with you somewhere, like on holiday.
I packed for a week with a large rucksack and bag:
shorts
I wore jeans 
4 tops
1 longer playsuit 
1 short playsuit
I wore hi-tops
1 scarf 
I wore a jacket
1 small necklace
1 mini-rucksack 
1 canvas bag
1 photo bag 
socks and underwear with 1 extra pair (always be prepared!)

This is what some of it looks like:

Expect the unexpected, especially in Leeds! And pack accordingly.

I went for a darker palette to go with my shorts and leopard trainers, but with a few shots of colour. If I was less prepared and more edgeh I would have clashed more, but sometimes its easier with a limited umber of items to have colour compliments, if only to same time in the morning.

I packed a short playsuit, in case the chance of a nocturnal outing arose which is black and beige bird and foliage print. I also brought an exotic acid flowery number for daytime or a possible formal grad situation. all in ones are great as they, like dresses are in themselves a whole outfit, but they also discourage chub-rub. My scarf as always is accompanying me too! 

I did however realise on 3 days before I left that I had one less top than anticipated. The good thing was that the situation then justified my purchasing of a dress and some tops. I needed them, they weren't just frivolous buys at that point!

Remember to revise you case contents stylish ones, don't be caught out by maths like me (the true arts graduate that I became this week)!
