OK, so we have booked our summer holiday - two week cruise to Northern ]] Peterburg, Copenhagen etc) and three of the nights are formal nights where black tie is encouraged (and I am keen to glam up to the max as I never get a chance to in RL).
But now I am panicing as we leave the day after school breaks up so I need to do all shopping for me and three teen girls (and DH) either online or in half term so I need help putting together capsule wardrobes.
I have ordered a couple of dresses online for formal nights
navy and purple
but have no shoes to go with.
Also I have a couple of day dresses but what else should I get, capsule wardrobe-wise? Linen trousers or something else? I have no nice tops at all. I would love a kind of Katherine Hepburnesque thing but am 5ft5, size 14 hourglass so need to work within my limitations. I reckon I need what, four bottoms, eight tops and a couple of dresses?
Any thoughts from anyone on how I can do this without bringing steamer trunks of luggage on board.
And any thoughts on what three teenage girls (12, 14, 17) might wear for formal nights on board - there will be three black tie nights over the course of the fortnight.
Thank you if you have managed to make it to the end of this post. I fear it reflects my mental confusion at this wardrobe challenge!
