***Getting ready for Summer travel? This blog written by my mother Barbara, has excellent tips on HOW TO PACK LIGHT & STILL DRESS LIKE A FASHIONISTA. (it's long but worth the read)*** HOW TO DRESS LIKE A FASHIONISTA AND STILL TRAVEL LIGHT (Men: you can heed this advice as well!) 1. PICK A COLOR, ANY COLOR: Decide on a basic color scheme and stick to it. It can be black, brown, gray or navy, whatever you like. All of your basic clothes like slacks, jackets and shoes should be one of these neutral colors. Blouses, shirts or scarves are your opportunity for accent colors, like yellow, turquoise or coral. Color coordinating your wardrobe this way insures that everything goes together and you are guaranteed to turn a few heads! (I’ve chosen navy as my base color, with yellow, lime green, orange and pink as accent colors, and of course, good old white.) My mix and match travel wardrobe. 2. SIMPLE AND TAILORED: Make sure that each item of clothing can be worn with every other item, and that at least a few of your basic items can be dressed up, depending on the occasion. For example: Ladies, a silky blouse or shell can dress up a blazer, slacks or skirt. And don’t forget scarves; they can change or dress up an outfit instantly. Men, a nice shirt and tie worn with a dark jacket and pants will pass for a suit. 3. THE LIGHTER THE BETTER: Choose clothing that is light weight and washable. I’m always on the hunt for poly-blend clothes that I can hand wash and will dry quickly. Pure cotton is OK, if you like ironing or wrinkles, plus it’s heaver. (Nearly all my clothes, including my wardrobe staple—a navy blue blazer, can be wadded up, thrown into a suitcase and emerge fairly wrinkle free.) I’ve bought a lot of things from J Jill and their Wearever travel collection and found things at Chico’s. The clothes can be a bit pricey, but worth every penny when it comes to good quality, especially if they are light-weight and wrinkle free. Good tip: Wear your heavier pieces on the plane, like your blazer or coat and walking shoes. 4. BUY THE BEST YOU CAN AFFORD: Since the object is to take as few clothes as possible you might as well invest in some nice quality pieces. A very well dressed friend of mine has a wardrobe of a miracle fabric called Tencel. It looks expensive and wears like Army fatigues. It is light weight, quick drying, practically wrinkle free and very comfortable. What more could you ask? Oh, and did I mention—it’s also biodegradable because it’s made from wood pulp. (Travel Smith has a nice line.) (My friend Pat--comfortable, stylish and wrinkle free!) 5. JEWELRY: My advice is to take some cute costume jewelry but leave your expensive jewelry at home. However, if you do want to bring a few nice items, there are things you can do: (1) store them in the hotel safe when not wearing them, (2) never take them off (3) or, carry them in a pouch hidden somewhere on your body. Whatever you do, don’t leave them in your hotel room. 6. KEEP SHOES TO A MINIMUM: Shoes are my downfall. I want a pair for every outfit, but shoes are heavy so I have to leave my vanity at home. Most trips I take require miles of walking that can’t be done with fashionable shoes. I’ve finally given up trying. At my age, I need sturdy lace-up walking shoes that offer comfort as well as support. (I just have to ignore the fact that they look like I’m wearing combat boots.) Wear your good pair of walking shoes on the plane and pack one or two more for casual or dress. 7. TWO OR THREE PAIRS OF SLACKS OR PANTS ARE PLENTY: You are going to need a lot more tops (shirts and blouses) than pants. Just be sure they pass the wash and wear test. TIP: Unless you can’t live without your jeans, I’d leave them at home. Don’t get me wrong, I love jeans, but for travel they are heavy, too casual, and in my opinion, worthless in the cold. Besides, I think it’s better to dress up than dress down on a trip. 8. THINK LAYERS: I travel mostly in the spring and fall, so layering is essential. I bring my light-weight pants, but I also bring at least one pair of thermal underwear and leggings for warmth. A thermal top adds warmth without weight or bulk—couple that with a light rain resistant wind breaker (the most fashionable you can find, of course) and you’re ready for any cold, rainy day. 9. LEAVE MOST COSMETICS AT HOME: Take only what you absolutely need. For years, I’ve brought my own special shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste etc., etc. but no more! I haven’t been to a hotel that hasn’t provided these items along with a hair dryer, iron and ironing board. In fact, most hotels now have a little “convenience store” in the lobby stocked with everything from snacks to shaving cream. I’d rather buy some of this stuff wherever I’m going and leave it there. That way I can avoid the weight, and the inconvenience of stuffing everything into a quart bag for airport security. 10. CARRY ANYTHING YOU CAN NOT AFFORD TO LOSE ON THE PLANE WITH YOU: That includes your camera, extra batteries, prescriptions and all of your ID’s—passports, keys, credit cards, cash etc., as well as phone and camera chargers. After I check in, I put my passport and all valuables in a hidden pouch somewhere on my person. If you check your baggage, carry a change of underwear. When I flew to Italy, the airline lost my luggage and I was very glad I had a few days of clean underwear in my carry-on. (**For overseas travel, you must have a Voltage Converter for your electronics. Carry that with you also.) 11. AND, FINALLY: When thinking about whether or not to bring an item, just ask yourself, “Do I really want to lug this around?” A quick check of your back and bunions will give you your answer! **Shop audrey * k for the dress styles that Barbara was talking about.
