Ok, so next year i'm going away for about 8 months - Thailand/Cambodia/Vietnam/Laos for 6 weeks, Uk with family for 4 weeks, France 6 weeks, Russia, Spain, Italy, Germany and Greece all for a week each, and then to Guatemala for 2 months, finishing up with 2 weeks in the Caribbean.

I've given myself a sort of colour scheme to work with, black, grey and white, with denim and beige and a splash of colour here and there. I know this list is enormous, but i'm a small girl, so a lot of my things will pack up very small, and i love my clothes, so i need a lot of options... I have a 65L travel pack, that expands a bit too. Is there anything on this list that i will never ever need?
Thanks!
