Clothing for all over Europe trip
I am traveling from Greece, to Italy, to Paris, to Spain, to Germany, to Prague in the month of Sept and beginning of Oct. I am usually a pretty cold person. I originally though about bringing several tank tops but now I am thinking I might be too cold. How does 1 fleece, 1 long sleeve pull over (thin sweater), 1 capri, 1 long short, 1 pair of pants, 2 skirts, 3 tank tops, 2 short sleeve shirts, and 2 long sleeve shirts sound.

Maybe only one tank or even none? You probably won't need them then, esp. if you get cold easily- and you're not supposed to wear them at churches or out to nice restaurants, are you?
A couple of no wrinkle blouses may be a good idea.....

How about 1 capri and 2 pants? Not sure you're going to need the shorts unless you'll be hiking. Check the average temps for each country for the time you'll be traveling.
Putting together a clothing list is a good deal easier if you reveal your travel plans. Will you be backpacking? Hiking? Sketching? Staying indoors at museums, etc. Bars and parties at night? Traveling alone or with a friend, etc.

You still have three tank tops, is that what you wanted? I would take maybe two, as you probably can use them in some of those places in Sept (like Greece, Spain depending on area), and they are versatile and can easily be used for layering for other purposes. Like the tank with your pullover, or under a shirt and use the shirt as a sort of "jacket", if necessary. Besides, they can always be used to sleep in, that's what I often do.
I also think you need more than one pair of long pants, as you may be wearing them the most (especially in evenings). I think the rest is okay.

If you're taking 2 skirts I don't know why you'd need more pants since you'll have capris and pants. That's 4 bottoms if you leave the long shorts at home. It seems you can wear the capris in place of the shorts.
IMO skirts travel much better than pants, they're easier to keep clean.
Sounds like a fun and busy trip, have a great time.

Cashmere sweaters. I have expensive ones and inexpensive ones. I took the ones from Kohl's to France and they were the perfect weight for layering - and looked great. Soft. Breathes. Warm, but not hot. Weighs virtually nothing. Wore the colored ones during the day with black jeans. Wore the black one for nights out with black slacks. I won't travel again during 3 seasons of the year without tossing 2 or 3 in the suitcase.

J Correa, that is so weird. I can't wear wool or wool/blend sweaters. I am VERY sensitive to rough fabrics and lots of things make me "itchy". Waffle woven socks just drive me up the wall! But, cashmere has never caused a problem for me. I wonder why?
I pretty much live in them in the winter. My favorites are scoop or V necks with 3/4 sleeves. Perfect with jacket over it but comfortable in warm rooms/ buildings.
I can barely wear turtlenecks or necklaces because they "bother" me. But, my cashmere sweaters...never.
I'm going to have to think on this to try to figure it out...

If you're going to be in Germany or Prague in October it can be chilly and quite likely rainy - would do more pants/fewer skirts and bag the tank tops for a couple of short sleeve of thin long-sleeve tops.
