What's in the Suitcase? Iran 4/13

I'm half-packed and checking off my to-do list; we leave home tomorrow at mid-day. Here's what's wound up in my suitcase:
The Eileen Fisher pants are lightweight and roll up easily in the suitcase; the gray jeans I blogged about here (M6405), and the red jeans are NYDJ in a ponte knit.

The long white shirt is a Travelsmith rayon/poly blend which I've had for at least 8 years; it's long enough and opaque enough that I will be able to wear it as a "Manteau" when it's hot.

My silver vest, which I blogged about here, is going; after my vest fiasco last week, I added additional interior pockets to this and will enjoy wearing it.

The silk tee and lightweight black turtleneck are old-standbys RTW.

I decided to take 5 "manteaux"; these seemed to be the most practical and versatile of the 8 I had to choose from.

Shoes...always hard for me to whittle down are these:

Clockwise, my red Trippens, black patent Dansko sandals, ECCO walking sandals, red Arche flats and black/silver Arche flats. All VERY comfortable and easy to walk in.

I added velcro strips to two more scarves, to add to the one I made here...

These are both scarves I bought in India some time ago and will give me a few
options for my ever-present head gear!

I have no idea if I will have internet access in Iran; the company we're going with  says not to count on either cell phone or internet access. What an adventure!

If I'm able to post on my travel blog, I will post here with a link.

Bye bye...."see" you in May!

    Have a fabulous time. Thanks for sharing what you packed.

    I have a question. You may not have time to answer. What do you mean by the "flags" you added to the Katherine Tilton V8691 top? Is it lots of small separate pieces of fabric or...

    THANKS

    What a fabulous wardrobe! I'm going to have to check out Arches. I'm addicted to Dansko, but those are some cute flats and I'd like some dressier flats.

    Hope your flight went well and have a magical trip!
