Have you ever wondered how to simplify packing for a summer trip? Aside from allowing Closet of Style™ to pack for you, why not go tone-on-tone.
While packing for a recent vacation — 7 days away— I did just that. I took nothing but white garments. It was incredibly refreshing, not to mention freeing! Just think, you never have to worry about coordinating your wardrobe because it's automatically done for you. Adding in color and pattern with your accessories will allow you to spice things up. Pare down on your jewelry by choosing hardware that can be mixed with both silver and gold.
Recommended packing list: 1 pair of leggings, 1 pair of shorts, 1 skirt, 1 pair of white jeans, 1 scoop or V-neck tee, 1 tank, 1 linen peasant top, 3 tunics, 2 dresses, 3-6 pairs of colorful or intricate shoes, 3 handbags — 1 large + 2 clutches, 1-3 scarves, 3 necklaces, 4 bracelets and 3 pairs of earrings. This should allow for over 17 combinations, if you feel that you may get bored. Don't forget to pack the right undergarments for your white outfits, in addition to bathing suits (full of color) if you plan to swim.
