My capsule wardrobe
Comments (63)Vacation is coming to an end. I did not wear 2 sleeveless tops and a pair of shoes and the bathing suit. Everything else was used...except the rain coats. They did their job though as the weather has been fabulous...I expected Budapest to be hot but it wasn't so didn't need sleeveless. I was the only one who wore full length to the palace, but I felt comfortable nonetheless. I was surprised that someone wore full length to the farewell...in fact people seemed to dress up more for that than the palace. I wore the shorts on deck and the scarves worked well for chilly mornings or buses or cathedrals. Lots of locals were wearing them. I did see everything though...shorts, capris, cargo pants, jeans, skirts, dresses, you name it. A lot of the men wore belted shorts with all combos of footwear including sneakers or sandals with socks. So the bottom line is comfort first, especially in footwear as you walk, walk, walk, and then walk a little further. But just like the US, anything goes....See MoreGranddaughter with skirt she made
Comments (5)She's cute and I'm so glad you're teaching her to sew. It took me until my senior year of high school and I took that class almost by accident. A great way to spend time with your grandchildren and great that they're interested and involved. LindaB/CA...See MoreChild's Beach outfit in Gallery
Comments (7)She does have a designer's soul! Mimics every move we make. Has to have paper & pen right by. Her paper has letters & numbers like mine. Where I have B,W,H,SL,PL,SL & etc, she just puts whatever comes to mind. She also wanted a one piece bathing suit. We looked every where for a pattern. She brought me bottoms to a 2 pc & we stretched it out & pinned it to the ironing board & made our bottom pattern. We pinned that to her underwear with excess paper taped to the top of the bottom pattern. We taped tissue paper to her tummy & back & shoulders & got a magic marker & marked where she wanted her neck line & how low she wanted the scoop in the back & where she wanted the arm holes. I am the marker. She is giving the instructions. Funny thing was the magic marker bled thru on her! A moment of pure panic! She said "Is this going to be like a tattoo & be on me forever"? Alcohol removed it in a heart beat. First run of the suit is wearable but since our fabric stretches & our pattern didn't allow for that, it is ok in the width but could be a little shorter in the toroso area. Probably perfect next year. Her "Softouch" scissors were a hit & just perfect for her little left hand. She kinda moved them around getting the feel of them & just smiled real big. She cut some on 2 layers of scraps. Now we just need to get a left handed person to teach her hand stitching....See MorePlease Vet Travel Wardrobe for August River Cruise
Comments (37)I took a 26-27” hard-sided Bric suitcase and a 20 liter Tucano backpack that opens like a suitcase. I wore one pair of shoes (On Cloud) and carried 2 pairs of sandals, one pair were for walking (Munro Pisces) and the other were to wear to dinner (Jack Rogers Lauren). I wore the ON Cloud shoes almost exclusively during the day because I injured my foot about 4-6 weeks before my trip. The orthopedist told me to get a shoe with good support and wear it. I was able to wear the sandals to dinner because we did not walk far. I took too much jewelry. I wore less than half of it. I traveled with a friend who was the first light-packer I ever encountered. She carried a set of silver jewelry and a set of gold jewelry. I need to stick with that plan. I found that for sightseeing, I preferred dark (but lightweight) pants to the lighter colors. To me, dark colors do not show wrinkles the way lighter colors do, nor do they show dirt. I did not wear my white linen pants or the light blue linen pants. I did wear my white EF washable crepe pants to dinner on the ship several times. Same with my black EF washable crepe pants. I brought back unworn my blue chambray shirt, pink linen shell, hot pink linen dress, and a couple of cotton knit shirts, and the 2 pair of linen pants. The one article that I got the most use out of was the Chico’s no-iron linen shirt in a natural/oatmeal color. I wore it as a shirt and as a light jacket. The cream merino sweater never saw the light of day, but I’d take it again anyway. Never hurts to have a ”just in case” sweater. I carried too many scarves. One that would go with navy, 1 that would go with black, and maybe a colorful one would have been enough. I carried my iPad Pro, but I left the case that contains a keyboard behind. I have a case that is light but protects my iPad when I travel. I wish there were some way for you to convince your DH to leave his hardback book behind....See MoreCA Kate z9
