Packing..

I hate packing with a passion..but at least in summer the clothes are the easy bit…all I take are vintage cotton dresses..

As a change this year – yep, I always wear the same ones..I’ve added an edge of neon pink pom poms..

I have all sorts from all different countries..this is one of my mexican numbers..and yes, if didn’t escape the pom poms either..they’re breeding and rather addictive..

My white broiderie anglais kaftan..excellent for wafting in with a trilby and a cocktail..

This is an African number – comes with a full length wrap skirt in the same material.  A girl has to have a bit of bling..

My cheesecloth peasant dress with embroidered butterflies..guaranteed never to meet someone wearing the same..

Another Mexican..they’re rather fab and very easy to wear..

The only two exceptions to the rule are my vintage jumpsuits..dress up, dress down they can take me to any occasion..

This one was originally 80’s purple, but it got a dose of brown dye and now it’s a wonderful burnt aubergine colour.  It’s silk so does crease, but it’s worth it with a pair of gold sandals..

 

But I still hate packing..

    My favourite: the embroidered butterflies. Oh, and the aubergine jumpsuit did not tell me anything until you illuminated it with the golden sandals. Divino.

    Yes, packing may be a pill, but, in the end, it’s the reward of the destination that counts, right? Safe travels, wherever they may be taking you…
