Cruise Capsule Wardrobe, Planning

at

We are going on a cruise! And I’m just crazy enough to want to sew most of my wardrobe for it. I’d like for it to be a rather small capsule wardrobe since I will only be taking one carry on.

Based on my research the first thing I need to do is choose a color scheme. I used ColourLovers.com and came up with this one:color-palette2I think these colors work well together and have enough of a “pop” to be appropriate for a spring cruise. Following the suggestions over at The Vivienne Files I have selected two neutrals (tan and navy), two accent colors (coral and aqua) and white.

Then, using the inspiration from Outfit Posts where she does a “one-suitcase” series, I finalized which items of clothing I will need in what color and which sewing pattern I may use for them.
