Buy American Vogue and similar.

Find shoot recently done in Caribbean.

Buy versions of what suits you from Next etc.

Do not get pissed, ride a mechanical bull whilst giving it "Ride 'em, cowboy!"

I think you really need to press your dh for what he does for a living. If it turns out he's the director of "Texan Sluts Monthly" you may find yourself hopeless overdressed.

Don't wear jewlery with your swimwear. people don't really do this, no heels with your swimsuit either.

SoupDragon · 05/05/2007 14:12

Agree, nice kaftan tutter.

thedogsbollox · 05/05/2007 14:12

nice simple dress for daytime?

gala dinner dress?

a bit quirky but I quite like it

I love the Hampton dress in this collection

SoupDragon · 05/05/2007 14:13

Arse. Baby Dragon awake.

This sounds really stressfull when a holiday should be fun.

Agree with everyone who said just wear what you'd normally wear on holiday.

And you'll be confident that you look modern, trendy and comfy. Even if its not square nails, big pouffy hair and jewellery with swimwear.

Tutter · 05/05/2007 14:16

just had to link to this dress

not sure it would fit with your hol

but great i thought

paulaplumpbottom · 05/05/2007 14:18

No black, you mustn't wear black

thedogsbollox · 05/05/2007 14:18

Big norks might not work in that dress Tutter?

It is nice though!

I love the kaftan you linked to earlier - would also get a summers worth of use out of that once back home!

Tutter · 05/05/2007 14:19

true, dogs

would be great on me in a non-pg state though

Tutter · 05/05/2007 14:19

this would be a good daytime hol bag

thedogsbollox · 05/05/2007 14:19

Yes, perhaps black not a good idea, although I do like the LA black dress!

For gala dinner, I'd think film premier type standard of dress and take it from there.

paulaplumpbottom · 05/05/2007 14:20

Sorry Kerry'smum I hadn't read your post.

I really love the way women in Texas and in the South dress. You would never see them in track suit bottoms, and they know that a small well-made wardrobe is better than a huge wardrobe from the cheapest shop in town. They always look amazing
