I took my long black tiered skirt:

A new top that I got while shopping on Wednesday:
Another new top that I got in a thrift store on Wednesday:
My jeans:

And some jewelry:
I ended up dumping the ring in the garbage. It turned my finger green, and it was too big anyway.Travel clothes one way:
I'm happily spending my time on the ferry reading "Atonement" by Ian MacEwan.I spent Christmas Day in the skirt (with my funky socks!):
This also looked nice with my boots on. I went for several walks while I was up there. It was foggy the whole time! Check out my in-law's back yard:
Frosty!
A cool t-shirt, "Under the Dome" by Stephen King, "The Raw Shark Texts" by Steven Hall, Forgotten English Words page-a-day desk calendar, the new Blue Rodeo double album, a new crossword puzzle book, 5 little bottles of flavoured vodka (consumed), two mini boxes of gourmet chocolate (consumed), three chocolate bars (1 eaten), a pair of earrings, and an Irn-Bru.
Sheila tired...
It was foggy off and on for the drive down-Island:
But at least the highway was mostly clear!

ReplyDeleteOMG... look at that weather... and I have been complaining for it being SO hot here....
ReplyDeletenext time I think about complaining I'll look your pictures up...
I did the same thing when I went to NY to visit friends this month. Capsule wardrobe for me and Rand in one suitcase, a second suitcase for his work trip the following week (long story), and a 3 suitcase to bring home all the stuff I acquired while there. Most relaxing thing - easy decisions about clothes, no trying to cram everything it ans force the zipper, plus room for all teh new stuff. I love it. And, I think you made the right call by consuming the vodka and chocolate before returning. That probably wouldn't have fit in the bag. LOL ;)
ReplyDeleteThat capsule wardrobe looks awesome, great for visiting the family over Christmas. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tricia! And thanks very much for commenting!
ReplyDeleteLorena, it's not THAT cold - about 3-4 degrees Celcius. However, if it cools you off, it's all good. :)
Tina, it's just the best way to go, isn't it? I'm going on a long vacation this spring, so I'll be really working a capsule then. Thanks for your endorsement of the vodka/chocolate consumption!
Thanks, Caz! I love that your blog is all about capsule wardrobes! Thank you so much for commenting!
