I’m headed out first thing tomorrow to spend a long weekend in Boston with my family. I’ve slowly been making progress with my wardrobe an am happy to announce it took me about five minutes to decide what to pack. It’s not the most exciting capsule wardrobe, it’s pretty uniform, but I wanted to share it for a couple of reasons. First, this is the first time it’s really hit me how nice it is to have a concept of uniforms and to have a capsule wardrobe to accommodate this. Second, I’ve been wanting to start documenting the clothes I pack because it makes it easier to pack later for similar longer trips since seeing what I packed will hopefully remind me of what did and didn’t work.
I’m expecting some rain and then some colder weather on Sunday and Monday. I’m packing assuming I won’t need to worry about covering up because of the sun which is a nice change from this summer, but it also means I’m not packing any long sleeved shirts when maybe I should. I am, however, packing three t-shirts, two sweaters (one thin cotton and one thick wool), a thin rain jacket and an umbrella. My pants and sneakers are the same ones I’ve been wearing almost continuously since May. I packed some jewelry although I don’t know if I’ll wear it. I also have a beanie, a battered fedora, and a pair of lightweight gloves which I won’t wear but I don’t want to take out of my bag.
This all fits in the top section of my book bag along with my electronic miscellany, camera and ipod, as well as toiletries and some food. I’ll probably cram a book and a notebook into the front pocket. My other bag (personal item) mainly has food although it does have some stuff for my sister in it. My suitcase is full of stuff for my sister. I anticipate coming back with it full of stuff for me, if only because I can’t seem to stay away from Trader Joes.
