    I think the wardrobe is different for different people.

    Mine has Bergaus, fleece and thermals, and shoes with Vibram soles for the winter weather. Also have gym kit, and starting to get running kit. Also walking kit.

    Core items due to travel, need to be washable in hotel basins and ideally dry on hangers over the bath without ironing. It's also mainly smart casual/casual, I don't need to look office/business professional except rarely and only odd party frocks, as I don't live Souk's party lifestyle.

    So my capsule is determined mainly by what I do and where I am. So it isn't one of those strictly defined capsule wardrobes. Basic colour range is black, denim, grey, navy, cream, pink, white, with odd extra's for variety, so basically I can mix and match most things.

    DT - having a manicure was something I tried too. Unfortuntely didn't get a good place, so got some kit to do DIY at the moment, but I do plan to have another go.

    On the hand moisturising, you can get moisturising gloves to use with cream, but you get the same effect if you put on the moisuriser and put plastic bags over to stop you getting the cream everywhere, and to give the moisturiser time to soak in.

    Today is the day of the Inquest having finally managed to extract the details from DD we have to be there by 10 but no indication when it will start or how long it will last just that it won't start before 10. Have just spoken to her partner to make sure they are awake so just hope they turn up on time as the last couple of days they just seem to have slept all day:(

    On a lighter note today I am wearing my next ankle boots, my jacques vert black trousers and this jacket from M&S

    and as they say in the magazines a scarf that is the model's own :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    DTxx

    Ooh just realised the jacket is machine washable even better and it is quite warm which is a bonus in this weather I do have a scooped neck similar colour t shirt on underneath also from M&S just in case you were wondering :)

    DT - I have been to two inquests and on both occasions, the coroner and court officials showed great tact and compassion.

    One was in a town hall in a large room that was quite official. But the other one was in a relatively small office. Actually, for the second one we had to phone and apologise for being late (we were delayed due to the weather). They put it off until we got there.

    Hugs to you

    Me too, DT, sorry I didn't get online before you had to go - you look lovely in that combo, I'm sure, and maybe, even at such a difficult time, that will help during the befores-and-afters. From what I know of inquests, the officials seem to be very compassionate, and let happen all sorts of things that wouldn't be allowed in a court of law.

    Thinking of you.
