Okay so it’s been a while. Don’t shout. I had other things going on…
Anyway, who cares, I’m here now! I have a trip to South Africa planned later this month. Cape Town actually, and I’m dead excited except I have NO idea what to pack.
In an attempt to gauge the correct seasonal clothing I resorted (yes, I admit it) to probably my most visited site – BBC Weather. For any of you unaware of the gloriousness that is the average weather conditions page, let me enlighten you. It not only has, as you would expect, typical temperatures, but also sunshine and rainfall amounts.
This *should* enable me to better choose my work wear. See, I hate looking plain (read: beige) so it’s imperative that I select my capsule suitcase wardrobe.
I’ve got one day when I arrive to slob out, I don’t really do that but it seems an accurate description when I consider how tired I will be when I land, and then two days of intense conferencing. Then it’s the visiting contacts and uncovering more stories part. From past experience it’s best not to wear heels for this; it does not go down well in the middle of a vineyard tour.
Quick brainstorm: Zara minis, couple of sheer blouses, studded pumps (obvs), and some black skinnies? Sounds good. Of course I will need to supplement my array of clothing with a few targeted purchases from Topshop (blouse) and H&M (white shirt, little bit smart, little bit casual) but there we go.
Oh and then there is flight wear….
