This year has been so busy and fast-paced that sometimes the four months I lived in Glasgow, Scotland, feel like just a fever dream.

Hello hello! Today’s blog post is very closely related to yesterday’s, so I wanted to post them back-to-back to provide the whole picture of my packing experience for a four month vacation. Before I went to Scotland for my semester abroad, I spent a lot of time talking and thinking about a capsule wardrobe that would maximize my outfit options while overseas. Today, I’m reviewing what pieces were successful in my capsule wardrobe, what I didn’t end up wearing, and what I would do differently next time. I’m also sharing all 66 outfits I wore abroad in one place, categorized by top. I know this is a little overwhelming, but I wanted to share the versatility of the pieces I packed for anyone interested and looking for capsule wardrobe inspiration.
