Packing bags can be tiring sometimes. You are overwhelmed about the clothes you should carry. I mean if I could than I would pack my whole wardrobe :-)
Few Packing tips when travelling to a Young Holiday Destination. (I have kept Goa & Bangkok in mind while writting this )
1. Shorts : Shorts of all lengths - Micro Shorts, Regular Shorts & Boyfriend Shorts. A Blue Jeans short, pack a nice regular color like beige or black and add in another funky color (Neons are a big hit right now).
2. Tees - Shirts - Blouses : Keep one rule in mind while packing these - Majority of tops should be mix & matched with the bottoms you have, this way u don't to carry a spare of everything. Have Tees, singlets, halters for day time use when it will be little hot and day will be casual. You can carry a bit fancy blouse / shirts for evening dinners. Pack up bright colors for bright mood.
3. Dress : Depending on your plan of the day opt for dresses to give you a more classier look. Keep the temperature of destination in mind and choose the fabric accordingly.
4. Jumpsuits / Rompers : They are fun. Just slip on a Jumpsuit and it spells out coolness... It is suitable for generally all body types except people with little extra fat around the tummy.
5. Accessories: Sunglasses & Hat, Lots of bangles, neck-pieces & earrings, but always color coordinate them, you should be able to use them in a different ways with different tops. (will do a seperate post on this)
6. Makeup : SUNBLOCK lotion- min SPF40. I am in love with Olay 7 effects, carry a lip balm for day time and a gloss for night, carry a moisturizer with golden tints specially for beaches, when it is applied it give a golden effect to you skin.
7. Shoes : Carry atleast 2 pairs of shoes - Flat shoes cause you might be walking too much, try flat ballerinas & mocassins, they are comfortable and give a nice look to the outfit & Mid heels or Stilletoes - depends if you plan to go partying.
These are few simple tricks (which i intend to implement in future ;-), but just in case you don't want to do all these and SHOP SHOP & SHOP from the place... You get good bargain rates...
Love,
