Off on a last minute Eastern Med week, will be 20-23 degrees, staying at resort type place. I'm rubbish, I always take too much, what do I need?

I'm far too jealous to help you

Waltzywotzy · 07/11/2008 12:31

I am far too fed up with my cold [sniff] to help you

Enraha · 07/11/2008 12:33

Aw go on! I've got a cold too! 6 days (incl. 2 traveling)

I can do underwear

But:
How many tops?
Bottoms?
Shoes?
Dress?

Only if you take me with you

I usually try and plan a capsule wardrobe, so take colours that will all mix together well. An outfit a day and a spare or is that overkill? Depends if you plan on dressing up for evenings, or if you are doing any sightseeing or just sunbathing. If it's warm and you're not doing a lot you'll need fewer items.

I ALWAYS take too much 'just in case'

DD paraphenalia threatens to take over bags, so I need to get serious about capsuling. My track record is v.poor

Am glad I am not only one unable to create "capsule" wardrobe .

Are you going to posh hotel? Cos I think that seriously influences sartorial holiday choices.

So, assuming you are........I would go for :

smart linen trousers & several tops that go with (for a mix of day and evening looks).
One fab but simple dress that you can wear with flats and statement jewellery one day/night and then wear it with heels with minimal jewellery on another evening. (just my own personal preference on the height of shoe/jewellery combo)
I am crap with temps but is that warm enough to sunbathe/swim? If so, take two bikinis and two kaftans/cover ups for daytime.

You will need a few more bits and pieces but I'm thinking that covers the basics :-)
