One important element in packing light, is maximizing the items you do take with you. I had to make sure all of my outfits could fit several occasions with just a few quick changes. So once I pried myself away from that cool breeze and the relaxing sounds of the waves:
I took this outfit perfect for taking a stroll to the mall for a little browsing (okay, maybe a little bit of shopping too) and lunch:
and very easily turned it into an outfit befitting of a late night sushi dinner and cocktails. All I needed were some different shoes and a clutch:
Multi-tasking outfits might not be so hard to tackle!!
Are you an over-packer or usually take just enough?
Outfit Details:
Square half-tint sunglasses- House of Harlow "Charlotte" (available here) Striped sheer blouse- Equipment (available in medium here) Black sandals- LOFT (available here) Taupe quilted bucket bag- vintage

So jealous! I wish I was on that beach reading a mag!!! Ahhhh, looks so refreshing and the beach is lovely!!! I love how you changed this outfit from day to night. Great job!!! I'm such an overpacking...packing is not my strong point... I hate doing it! LOL
ReplyDeletevery nice outfit!
ReplyDeletewhat lipstick are you wearing?love the color!
@Charee- I try to plan outfits, but you should have seen how stuffed that luggage was, lol.
ReplyDelete@Ina- Thanks!! And I'm wearing Tom Ford in Cherry Lush. It's pricey, but very much a true red.
Eeeeee I am loving your blouse. I caved and bought Equipment awhile back. The fit and fabric is amazing.
ReplyDelete@Linda- I couldn't resist this top, but kind of wish I hadn't because now I want more Equipment blouses in my closet. I tried one on at the mall and really wanted it.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had an amazing time. Love the blouse.
ReplyDeleteUsually I'm an over-packer but with the upcoming trip in October I'll be planning my daily outfits way ahead.
