Be Resort Ready This Holiday Season

WHAT TO PACK…

A reader asked me for suggestions on what to pack for a beach holiday this season, keeping in mind that her city wardrobe is built around black and white luxe pieces that seem out of place at a relaxed resort destination. As much as it’s tempting to steer off path in choosing vacation clothes, I ‘ve learned that I feel best when I stick to what I love. I’ll inject a bold color or a stripe to the mix…things I’d wear at home in the summer as well. Both bright red and shades of blue are colors I love on their own and worn with black and white.  I also like to pack things that serve double duty, which many of these dresses do. The ability to be worn from beach to bar is a criteria I try to meet.
