Summer Cruising Capsule Wardrobe

February 16, 2016

Going on a cruise means that you will need a variety of clothes for different events. There will be formal evening events, you will have days round the pool or on the beach, or days exploring the cities. If you aren’t careful you could find yourself packing a truckload of clothes which isn’t ideal when travelling with children who all require at least two truckloads of clothes each! Also if you are like me you will have found that you have sorted eveyone’s wardrobe apart from yours!  Therefore you will want to be able to sort yourself some clothes quickly. My cruise capsule wardrobe is all from Boden meaning you can order it all at the click of a button. The below should cover you for lounging by the pool, city shopping and having dinner at the captain’s table. This collection ensures that you avoid any panic buys!

    I love your whole selection. It’s getting me excited about spring/ summer coming up. You reminded me, I have a black and white stripped midi skirt, just like the one you listed. Time to pull it out from the back of my wardrobe. Kat x #twinklytuesday
