Sometimes, you see something that just makes you happy. If you keep thinking about that thing… six hours later?… you might want to listen to your heart!
That’s my feeling about this scarf; the minute I saw this, I knew I wanted to share it with you all here:
scarf – Artifact.
What an interesting image – dill? Some sparse hydrangeas? And artichokes? What do you think?
Of course, these colors are difficult to find…
Our heroine knows that she’s going to struggle to find the soft accent colors – the green and purple are QUITE elusive. But she also knows that she can wear this scarf with her neutral grey, or she could look for a different green like soft olive. Or use beige as her neutral. There are always possibilities!
She assembles three outfits, and then adds a few more garments – a pretty effective way to pack:
Cardigan – J.Crew; earrings – Saule Label; scarf – Artifact.; pants – L.L.Bean; lake blue tee – L.L.Bean; charcoal boots – Taos Footwear
Dressy-ish. The usefulness of a chambray shirt is hard to describe!
Grey sweater – J.Crew; flower earrings – Bling Jewelry; chambray shirt – L.L.Bean; crossbody bag – Vera Bradley; French terry skirt – Mango; scarf – Artifact.; pumps – Trotters
Jeans can be luxurious with a cashmere sweatshirt! The best of both worlds…
blue cashmere hoodie – Nordstrom; opal earrings – Celebration Gems; ivory turtleneck – Lands’ End; jeans – Lands’ End; bracelet – Ethicgoods; sneakers – Puma
After searching high and low, she found a tee shirt that’s a good mate for her scarf, and a cardigan too! A nice neutral tee shirt, another scarf (although you CAN wear the same scarf every day – there are no rules about these things!), and some pretty earrings:
Mulberry tee – Orvis; green earrings – Lauren Ralph Lauren; green cardigan – And Other Stories; gray tee – Lands’ End; scarf – Elizabetta
It’s a pretty complete travel capsule wardrobe – which surprises her, given how hard she had to look for just the right things to include!
Of course she has outfits – that’s how she chosen her garments! But she likes to make certain that she can assemble things differently, if she’s so inclined…
Any time you can use denim in your travel capsule wardrobe, things are automatically easier. It’s like packing magic…

p.s. Ten years ago, we shared one of my favorite, REALLY elegant long weekend wardrobes in camel and burgundy; it’s ten years old, but I would still wear it in a New York minute!
Not my usual colours but I so love this scarf – you’ve really nailed the capsule to wear with it ! The mulberry T-shirt is perfect 😍
I love everything about this one! The colors and styles. The scarf is fantastic.
This capsule is so cozy and relaxing! I would wear the heck out of this!
