To create a variety of outfits out of one suitcase, you might think it makes better sense to take fewer shoes and more clothing. However, I find that my feet are happiest if I can at least switch between two pairs of shoes each day. (That doesn’t really explain 5 pairs of shoes in 4 days, but one pair was for the plane and the other for the gym.) I like to have a selection of footwear and use creative layering to get more mileage out of my limited number of garments.

My capsule wardrobe for the past four days:
Not pictured: my giant purple wrap, the ballet flats I wore on the flights, and the leggings I slipped on under my dress on Wednesday evening.
And those lime pumps never left the office.
wouldn't the gym shoes make the total count = six pairs of shoes?
ReplyDeleteI didn't count the lime pumps that stayed in my Cincinnati office when I left for the airport.
ReplyDeleteI haven't blogged in so long! But I'm back and following you! You can really mix and match it girl!
ReplyDeleteI love the colourful explosion of that skirt layered under the dress, and that's such a cool purse!
ReplyDeleteHere, I'll make you feel better. I'm a flight attendant and one day as I was packing for a trip, I was on the phone with my boyfriend. I said, "How many shoes do you think I'm packing for this trip?" He asked, "How long are you going to be gone?" I told him, "I'll fly one leg to Amsterdam, have a 24 hour layover, then fly home." He guessed two pairs. The answer? Six. SIX PAIRS OF SHOES. It seemed so ridiculous to me, but I'll break it down for you: It was winter & I take public transit to the airport, so I had my snow boots, my concourse shoes (the cute heels I wear through the airport), my inflight shoes (the good-support comfy granny shoes I wear during the service), black flats to wear while walking around in Amsterdam, my running shoes to wear while running around in Amsterdam and my emergency flip-flops which never leave my suitcase. And you know what? I wore each & every pair of those shoes.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the bright floral dress under the checkered one!!!
