  1. I absolutely love this! I have a question, though. Do you pack “contingency plans”? What do you do if one of the pieces gets soiled or damaged while you’re away? (Asks the girl who got trapped in a monsoon on her NYC vaycay two weeks ago and could not re-wear a piece she was planning to…)

  3. Where did you get the bracelet (R) and the skirt (J)?
    Thanks!

  4. Dusica,

    R is actually the New York Dotz necklace by Kate Spade, unfortunately it’s no longer in stock. The skirt is available though. It’s from Banana Republic and you can find it here: http://widget.shopstyle.com/action/loadRetailerProductPage?id=426823656&pid=uid3849-1351707-61&trefid=embedded&utm_medium=widget&utm_source=Look+Widget

    All the items should be indexed near the bottom of the post under the heading of “Buy the Wardrobe Cluster”

    Happy Shopping and Traveling!

  5. Kell’s Belles,
    Most items can be saved with a quick wash in the sink (I try to always pack a small bottle of Laundry Detergent). However in the case of casualty, it sounds like a perfect excuse to go exotic shopping.
    Thanks for reading!

  7. Again, I love your color choices! I think I should do this with my actual wardrobe, not just my travel wardrobe. 🙂 PS I’m working on getting rid of the clothes I don’t feel fabulous in and having a closet of winners. Thanks for the inspiration!!!

  8. I love this so much. I could really use a colorful, mix & match capsule wardrobe like this for every season. I am a mom-on-the-go and many fancier pieces I see in stores just don’t work for my lifestyle.

  9. Where did you get the jacket? The buy option isn’t showing up on this page!
