Packing for Special Occasions: A Floral Coat, and Flower Colors

Sometimes, you have to travel for a special event to a place where the days are warm, but the evenings can be quite cool.  This is a perfect opportunity to invest in an astonishingly beautiful coat, which gives you lots of colorful options around which to build a travel capsule wardrobe.

UPDATE:  In their infinite wisdom, Google has made it impossible for me to respond to comments... But the question about the handbag color?  I personally would always opt for a metallic when I'm not sure of what color.  Not a blindingly shiny gaudy metallic - something more subtle and muted, in the same general color range as the Poupee Couture clutch.  I find that metallic are a lot easier to blend in with a variety of colors than anything else that I see.
