And your dress!

I will try to keep it brief as tablet keeps crashing!

Layers, colour co-ordinate and a pair of shoes in case it rains.

Well wear your new dress!
And get yourself a new top or two?

I lay out my stuff on the spare bed and match up tops and bottoms.
You can’t go wrong with black t- shirts and white shirts or blouses. They go with anything. Grey’s good too.
If it’s hot you might be more comfortable in a loose fitting shift dress so I would take something like that too.
Wasn’t it you who asked for ideas about dresses a few weeks ago?
Enjoy your holiday smile

A colour scheme isn’t a bad idea at all. A few items which all work together saves a lot of faffing and means you take fewer clothes.

I wear mainly blues and greys and have a couple of white shirts for summer which work with skirts or jeans/trousers and can also be worn over plain dresses if I need an extra layer.

I’ve found it is so much easier to travel fairly light this way.

Sorry oldbatty, that hasn't helped you.

I'm going on a cruise to the Norwegian Fjords at the end of next week, and I'm uncertain about what to pack too. I'm expecting it to be cooler than here. I did colour analysis and discover that I should be wearing cool colours. None of my clothes match either. I feel somewhat inadequate.

I am off on a weeks holiday to Poland and I am having a wobble (how apt) about clothes.

I think it will be hot. I have 2 pairs of nice light trousers and some comfortable sandals. The rest is rather dull or I've gone off it.
Maybe I should decide on a colour scheme and stick to it?
