How to Pack Light for the Beach

December 12, 2015
 
Another question that seems to come up frequently is about how to pack for a beach vacation. I love thinking about this “problem”, and I’ve got a few older posts that you can review that might help you with your very “sad” dilemma.
 
love,
Janice

The Boating Party by Mary Cassatt, and a color scheme drawn from the painting

 

Start with Art: The Boating Party, by Mary Cassatt – a traditional navy and white summer wardrobe, with accents of turquoise and yellow. No swimsuits – I’ve been told that many of you have no need of swimwear.

 

Warm Weather Travel in Brown and Pink – Step by Step – how to decide how much to pack, including options for both a long weekend and a week-long vacation.

 

Dressing modestly in a hot climate: travel in blue and tan – some ideas about what to pack when you’re going to a destination where excessive exposure of your body is inappropriate.

9 more! Whatever’s Clean Summer Wardrobes – lots of ideas for summer wardrobes that cover a range of color schemes. There are 13 pieces in each wardrobe, which would suggest wearing 2 or 3 and packing 10 or 11 – light packing when you’re talking about summer clothes!

love,

Janice

    You can choose from one piece bathing suit or two-piece bikini. But I'm sure there are ladies out there who aren't comfortable showing too much skin at the beach. uv tent for baby
