Capsule Wardrobe Advise

As regular readers know, I'm heading to Houston, TX at the end of December to attend my daughters wedding.  Of course, besides all the obvious excitement and the thought of hitting up the stores, my thoughts of course have gone to what to put in my suitcase.  Since we're in Summer here and I'm heading to Winter, I'm now contemplating what to pack in the suitcase.  Since I'll be meeting my future son-in-law, his family and my daughters friends and acquaintances for the first time, I'm of course wanting to make a good impression.  

My biggest problem with travelling to a Winter climate is that you in fact can't take as many clothes as you would when travelling into Summer due to the sheer weight of Winter clothing.

Here's where I'm asking for some suggestions - those who know my wardrobe, please make some suggestions of outfit possibilities I may have overlooked over the past season where I can mix and match effectively.

I'm looking forward to your suggestions.

On the subject of wedding, I prowled around the Dress Barn site earlier and quite liked these dresses - whats your thoughts?

I think I'm most keen on the charcoal one above  ... 


The wedding details are as follows

The ceremony is taking place at 16:00 on the patio of the Country Club and is followed by dinner in the Country Club.

Of course if I choose to wear any of the dresses, I'll need to wear some sort of pashmina/blazer/jacket ... but
I'm just so unsure of what to wear!!  

Let me know your thoughts folks ... share share share ... suggest suggest suggest :-)

Yesterday was Sunday

I started the morning helping Schatz spread lawn dressing in anticipation of Spring.  I love a thick green lawn so we've started watering and feeding and the dressing is the last of it - except for the continual watering.
I then spent some time puttering around on the pc and then my little guy Liam and I had a coffee date.  We went down to M&B and ended up sharing a caramel chocolate cake and milkshakes. 
It was pretty warm yesterday so I wore my high-low dress, boots and a cardigan. 
Details : Dress : Mr Price | Boots : Rage | Belt : Woolworths | Cardigan : Truworths | Necklace : Woolworths

My cute boy was also wearing purple and we had a pleasant hour or so alone having our cake and eating it and then we did some shopping.

I do so love this dress and I think once the high-low hem is totally a 'no-no' I'll cut it into a straight hem.  I just love the comfy t-shirt material and print of it.
