I want to have a nice dress in case I decide to go out to dinner. I want a skirt to change things up from pants. Hell, I want semi-nice pants. I'll bring a pair of hiking shoes, but I'll also bring a pair of ballet flats. In other words, because of where I'm going and when and what I plan to do, I don't think there's any reason for me to spend everyday looking like a camper.
So...I bought this dress from REI:

This skirt from Columbia:

These pants from North Face (in a couple of colors):

And shirts like this one from Patagonia:

It's still a travel wardrobe, just a nicer one. I'm also starting early enough that if I don't like one thing I bought, I have enough time to find something else. In other words, no last-minute packing here.
Come to think of it, this is quite possibly the first time I haven't procrastinated.

Travel clothes are a problem when you don't ant to be dressed too differently to normal. Easy washing and drying is imperative or those never wash jeans!
Shame you are going in a cooler season and will have to pack heavier clothes. I'm only going to the UK for 10 days but already I am thinking about how much room the boots will take as I don't want to be wearing them on the plane over. I am working on a 3 pairs of shoes max so I might be wearing the highest heels designed for partying on the plane.
