London Calling

Mr. Suz and the adult child and I are heading to London tomorrow. The kid will be with us for 5 days and then they are going off to visit a friend in Ireland and from there to Paris -- their first trip to Europe. Mr. Suz and I will stay on in London a few more days and then go to Vienna to visit his older daughter. 

My travel capsule is very much like last year's, with a few extra items since the trip is a few days longer. I am probably bringing too much, but so be it. :)  We have a washer but no dryer so I probably won't wash bottoms -- since they could take too long to dry.  Hence, I am bringing multiple options. https://youlookfab.com/finds/c.....tion=14938

We will be going to galleries, theatres, opera (in Vienna), eating out, maybe taking in some other concerts, and walking walking walking. Forecast is excellent. Warm, and (so far) no rain predicted! 

The burgundy "dress" in the photo is actually a blouse now -- it works well with the Dries pants for a relaxed but polished dinner outfit or even theatre on a warmer day. 

Last year I brought my Mary Janes but did not end up wearing them -- so I don't think I will bother with them this year. They are cute but not the best for long hours on my feet.

    What a great time of year to travel abroad!  You will probably see London ramped up for the Chelsea Flower Show!  Have a wonderful time, and if you can manage - and have the inclination - share your thoughts and observations on street style trends in the cities you visit!

    Have a wonderful time Suz! You will look very stylish at all times I can see.  I echo Carla, please do share fashion-y news if you have the time and inclination. Otherwise, when you are back home.

    Oh, how exciting! Have a wonderful trip, Suz!
    I’m planning to go to Vienna in October for my big birthday. I want to know how you like it and look forward to your report.

    WOOHOOOO! Have a beautiful trip with your family, and especially your sweetie, Suz :) 

    Travel capsule looks excellent as always! Very cohesive, and all bases covered.  I think you brought the perfect amount.  Always good to have options!!! It's wonderful to get changed for the evening activities, and it doesn't matter if some items go unworn.

    Safe travels!

    When I can fit in extras I try to bring them, the weather can always change unexpectedly on a trip no matter how well one plans in advance. You have an excellent travel capsule here with nice variety. Have a wonderful trip!

    Fantastic capsule and I hope you have a wonderful time!

    I’m not a fan of doing laundry while traveling, so I’d rather have the clothes I need! But if it’s a hiking trip, I’ll happily get by with rewearing my gear for a few days. I say pack what makes you happy to wear, especially when visiting cities where you’ll be dining and wanting to feel a bit fashionable.

    Brimming with envy here! And your wardrobe looks impeccable and so beautiful! Beautiful time to go too. I’m wishing you well and can’t wait to hear how it goes. And maybe some fashion reports?? Hopefully it doesn’t rain while you’re there.

    Austria too is fab! My husband is Austrian-German and his extended family lives in Berlin. His favorite place is Austria, particularly the alps. One day maybe we'll visit :]

    A great capsule. I like taking my favourite clothes with me on holiday because that is the time when I take photographs. If it was me, I would have much warmer clothing with me, but I think that is because temps below 15C is "freezing" to me!

    I hope you have a wonderful holiday.

    Your wardrobe looks perfect for all occasions.
