It's time for a first! My good friend V is traveling to Europe for three weeks and asked me to help her pack. I've never tried to pick out clothes for a trip for anyone besides myself. It was a new and really fun experience. (Although I kept exclaiming, "I feel like it's weird because I'm just dressing you like me! But she insisted she liked it.)
In case you missed - it the previous posts in the series can be found here:

- Outfits 36-40
The method:
- Basics - First we picked some basics pieces to lay the foundation for the trip. We
tried to pick her favorite go-to clothes. Clothes she said she wears over and
over. The ones that go with almost everything.
For the basics in this capsule wardrobe we chose a white shirt, white blouse, white cardigan, white cropped pants, black asymmetrical tank, black shorts, jeans and black pants.

For this set of interest pieces we picked two teal dresses, a striped maxi dress, two patterned skirts, orangy/red cropped pants, green sweater, a burgundy cardigan, a striped shirt and three fun tanks.

Proof of concept - Here is everything above all laid out and then put in V's luggage she is planning on sharing with her hubby & checking. Lot's of room for souvenirs!
Hope you enjoyed!!

DeleteThat is some good work! I had to laugh when you said she was pregnant. I saw these pics first on Pinterest and I thought they were of you. I'm looking at them like "Hmm...she looks pregnant. I should check her site and see if there's an announcement!"
