I will be mooching about the old town

maybe a couple of day trips to local towns
be at the villa

I am a size 8-10 and I have so far got-
Travelling-
Light weight stretchy jeans
gold leather brogues
vest with a 3/4 sleeve top over
sunnies
leather bag

I have 4 bikinis (too many?)
2 summer weight trousers
4 vest tops
1 maxi skirt
4 pairs of shorts
2 dresses
one jacket
one jumper
3 short sleeve/longer sleeved tops (too many?)
1 skirt
1 belt (brown leather)

It does seem a lot for a week! But then I travel ridiculously light and probably leave out stuff that I need.

I'd go for

2 x bikinis
4 x bottoms ie 1 pair trousers, 1 skirt, 2 x shorts
5 x tops - mix of short & long sleeve
1 x jumper/cardigan
2 x dresses

Accessories sound about the right amount though.

That seems loads to me. I'm assuming it's a week and that you could do laundry if necessary?

I'd cut back to 1 pair trousers.
2 pairs of shorts, maxi skirt, and 2 of the skirt and 2 dresses.

2 bikinis seems plenty.

See I knew it was too much! Ok, going to wear one pair if summer trousers to travel in, ditch the jeans.

Take 2 shorts, 2 dress, 5 tops. 3 bikinis, 2 trousers, 1 jacket, 1 cardigan/jumper???
