Too many unworn clothes,

Thankyou getters for your helpful tips on what to take away to Cornwall, got the packing down to 5tops , one for each day as I tend to spill things down my front!! 2pairs of jeans and 2pairs of white Capri pants , 3 cardi,s to go with everything, dressy skirt and top for nights , andofcourse a waterproof,, Now, the shoes next!!!! I have just bought a pair of Toms, like espadrilles, oh so comfy, they will go with everything , flip flops if we go on the beach,and one pair of dressy sandals to go with the skirt,phew, it's hard work packing isn't it, x

When I went on a 4 day trip to Paris,. many years ago,I actually managed the sort of capsule wardrobe thing!

Jeans, a proper blazer, (Jaeger, actually, but from a charity shop , navy silky top, that was sort of shirt style, in that you could wear it buttoned, or unbuttoned over a t shirt , white polo shirt, mid length skirt that matched the top (BHS, when they still existed) , spare white top, spare navy top, sorted!

I must sort through my ill assorted wardrobe and find out what goes with what.

Perhaps if I sorted in garments that go with each other rather than tops, trousers, skirts etc, that could work.

Gosh I've only got two cardigans, both sort of pale gold, one long sleeved and one short sleeved. But thet do go with most things.

It was painful, MamaCaz and what was worse we got told off by the St John Ambulance lady who was on hand because we lived in Devon and 'should have known better'.

I bought a very light waterproof mac from M&S, it is going with me to the antipodes.

I would keep to blue and white. Take your white Capri pants and jeans together with a blue cardi, lots of tops and T shirts. Do you have a waterproof mac? I bought one from Joules which folds up into its own pocket. You could wear this in the rain or use it as a wind-cheater on top of cardi if it gets nippy.

Have a lovely time!

Getting burnt in the Rock sounds very painful, Jalima, though undoubtedly worse for men

As for unworn clothes, I am struggling to imagine what that must be like. My biggest problem is putting together an outfit that doesn't make me look like a scarecrow!

Regardless of the weather, I would have thought that as it's summer, one light-coloured cardigan would be suitable to wear with just about any holiday outfit, wouldn't it? (Or maybe this is where I am going wrong, hence the scarecrow look! )

Whatever you do,take a raincoat....ignore any weather forecast that says wall to wall sunshine.

Boat rides from Padstow and the. Fish and chips!

I did get burnt in Rock many years ago when I was young and foolish.
And in Newquay.

Thankyou ladies for your tips, I think all of those are good advice , jeans , shorts (knee length) and then layers with a waterproof , and my comfiest trainers/sandals, just bought Toms, oh so comfy ,We are going by coach so comfy floral trousers for travelling , think I have it sussed now, Just want nice weather,

I used to take paper knickers on holiday and chuck them away every night, however I never see them in Boots anymore. I am not brave enough to go commando and of course I might slightly wee myself without Knicks.

I would stick to nautical colours like white and navy, with maybe a splash of yellow. Have a great time!

We went about a month ago and had lovely weather. I just take whatever will fit into one bag! 2 OR 3 pairs of trousers and a few t shirt s. 2 card is and a waterproof jacket. Don't dress up much these days!

Not sure Cornwall is ever very hot tbh.
Always breezy - but a lovely county.

I meant to say, have a wonderful holiday, very envious, love Cornwall.

I'd pick several favourite tops, lay them out on the bed. Then see which cardi goes with most of them. I'd expect one cardi to go with at least 3 tops.

It sounds like your trousers/jeans will go with everything. Have a lovely holiday, Cornwall is so beautiful.

I'd probably take 3 cardis, and enough tops for every day plus a couple spare. I'm assuming you're driving, so have plenty of room.

Always difficult in the UK, layers is the best option.
