Will you be visiting during warm weather? I was traveling all over Europe for 3 weeks and brought 2 pairs of jeans (washed them I think only once or twice) and I also brought about 4 skirts, all very lightweight, two dressy and two casual. I don't wear skirts a lot at home, but they were great for my trip because they were lightweight and thin.
I also brought several different cotton tank tops I could mix with all the bottoms, and I brought a very versatile white cotton pullover shirt with a hood to wear when it was chilly. Also, I fell in love with scarves while in Europe as I think you mentioned you would bring. I bought 3 in Paris and used them as wraps, knotted around my neck, and also as a blanket while traveling by bus!
I did bring a pair of sneakers, but ended up wearing flip flops the majority of the time, even though we did a lot of walking. If I had to pack again I'd bring all the same stuff, minus the sneakers and one pair of jeans, and plus a pair of ballet flats. Keep in mind that even in June, it got chilly at times, especially in London!

I don't know how much help this is, since it looks like this person/example is going for a high budget trip, but there was an article in the hermes forum about packing into a small carryon suitcase.

you don't mention how long you'll be gone for but if you're there for about two weeks i'm pretty sure you'll be safe with (since you have access to a washing machine):
1 pair of jeans
1 pair of shorts
1 skirt
6 tops - layering/mix-n-match
2/3 dresses
1 light jacket
for shoes I think you should wear sneakers on the plane & bring a pair of sandals.
don't forget undies! if you're not particular you could just pack disposables...

It's one month of apartment life + 2 weeks roadtripping. The problem is that I can't leave anything in the apartment, but then again I will be able to wash there so it's not an issue.
How long can I not wash jeans before they get gross?
