Emily...Thanks for all the suggestions, commenters! Emily, I love these looks and the hubs also approves! I talked to the French bride and she says that a sportcoat and slacks would also be okay, so that frees us up some in shopping! <br /><br />I have our carryons--21 inch rolling pilot cases. Current general plan is to pack 2 jeans, 1 trouser, (plus a light skirt or 2 for me), 2-4 assorted layering tees/tanks and shirts, a black cardigan sweater, and a pair each of sandals and sneakers (plus dress flats for me). Then we'll wear our boots and heavier jackets on the plane. In order to limit wrinkling and maximixe space in our luggage for everyday duds, our fancy wedding duds will be arriving in a garment bag with my mom and brother, who are checking some bags and getting to France just in time for the wedding. Per Emily's previous sage advice to travelers, we're going to limit the palette and make sure everything mixes and matches. Rain jackets are not readily available here in Texas, so I see a stop in a London shop if the weather turns off nasty! <br /><br />Checking luggage on the way back won't be an issue, because if a suitcase full of clothes gets lost on the way home we can wait for it to be found and returned. We were planning to expand into a third bag anyway in order to make space for souvenirs.<br /><br />We're planning on going shopping tomorrow and I have to say that these outfits are IMMENSELY helpful. I especially appreciate the versatility---I think we could do wedding or nice dinner, out, cocktail party or work party in these outfits!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09400341121952583831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552497.post-50246358104434013422009-04-18T06:18:00.000-07:002009-04-18T06:18:00.000-07:00Ohhh, this is ROUGH.

If money...Ohhh, this is ROUGH. Just a carry-on? <br /><br />If money's not an issue, you can plan on picking up new pieces as you travel, then mail them home before you leave. <br /><br />If I were you, I would pack one pair of nice jeans, a versatile jacket, 2-3 tees, a blouse, a dress which can be worn for the wedding and dinners, a couple of pieces of jewelry, dress shoes, walking shoes (cute ones), and underthings, of course. You'll need to do laundry along the way, but you can also have fun shopping to fill in the gaps!K.Raehttp://smartbykrae.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552497.post-70331542553569643572009-04-18T04:03:00.000-07:002009-04-18T04:03:00.000-07:00We have such changeable weather here in the UK I r...We have such changeable weather here in the UK I recommend a stylish mac that can be folded away when not needed and some flat pumps for all that walking you will be doing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552497.post-39177386096712439612009-04-17T09:10:00.000-07:002009-04-17T09:10:00.000-07:00Love the pop of teal in her shoe! and if I don't ...Love the pop of teal in her shoe! and if I don't get a Ruby Rose clutch soon I might just keel over and die.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05587622592688368240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15552497.post-21354427368664313632009-04-17T08:41:00.000-07:002009-04-17T08:41:00.000-07:00Brooks Brothers non-iron shirts are THE best.
