It's a week until we go to Disneyland Paris, so I better start looking at what clothes I want to take, and whether I need to go shopping.
First step - check the weather forecast. I've been in DLP at Hallowe'en before, and I remember it being bitterly cold. A quick glance at the 15 day forecast shows that it's likely to be around 6 degrees, with some possibility of rain.
So hats, scarves and gloves are a must, as well as a waterproof coat. I've finished knitting my dark green cabled headband, and I bought silver grey fingerless mittens on Sunday.
I have a pair of burgundy leather trousers that I got in Vegas, which I find are both practical and stylish, so I may travel in those. Add one pair of grey jeans, and one pair of beige Craghoppers trousers, and that should suffice for the 5 days.
Long sleeved shirt in cream, short sleeved shirts one checked, one plain pink, and a few vests in plain colours.
Cotton jersey tunics - pale blue, dark blue and striped.
Purple fleece jacket, and sweatshirt with Mickey Mouse on. Christmas jumper.
Couple of light colourul scarves.
Swimsuit and hat just in case there's a pool we can use.
So far so good - but I need to think about shoes.

Layering works wonders, but you need enough components to keep you warm. And, what if they clash with each other?
The horror, the horror!

I'm not even sure I've three pairs of trousers left, (all jeans), which actually are small enough to fit me comfortably anymore mind.... I so* need to get a pair of leather trousers, but I'm clueless to design/style etc They'd look good I guess.... if I buy these thigh length boots I keep trying to justify the expense of buying

Most of my wardrobe "goes" with itself - most items are non-patterned, and mostly from the "autumnal" palette, so lots of olive greens, rusty orange, dusky pink, charcoal grey.
2legs, I'm amazed you don't own a pair of leather trousers!

I'm amazed I don't own a pair of leather trousers! heck... I don't even think I'd know where I could buy such things! black... leather... of course... but... not like biker ones, I guess... just... dunno.... I need a personal sartorial e; eligence coach and fashion gru... who can advise on both male and female clothing though

A slight change of plan means that we have access to a full item of checked in luggage, so my space restricition isn't so bad. I'll add in a set of running gear in case I get the chance to go for an early morning jog. No parkruns in Paris, sadly.
