how to pack light

Remember my last blog? Here's what you've been waiting for!
First, chose your favourite colours OR your favourite top/bottom (preferably patterned).
Now build from there!
So it's a muti-coloured polka dot pair of shorts. You are going to the Caribbean. Find a plain top in the same colour as some of the dots in the shorts. Now grab a neutral top with something special, rushing, ruffles, a little applique or something subtle but interesting. For the last top, If you are feeling brave, maybe a small striped tee in something neutral like navy and white  or black and white. You be the judge. You could just try a shadow stripe.
For the second bottom, chose a simple plain pair of khaki shorts or a denim skirt.
Replace the pair of gloves with a set of bangles or some lightweight rope/twine bracelets. Substitute the hats for a cute bandeau or patterned head band and a cute flower clip. A pair of ballet flats/Sperry's for traveling, a pair of flip flops and some dressy-ish sandals (like my favourite navy flowered sandals)  and instead of scarves, pack a couple long necklaces. See how easy it is?
Check back on the 10th for another DIY bracelet that's super light and refreshing for spring!
