[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't have enough tops.

I'd cut back on bottoms and a dress and take more tops.  Do you really want to be handwashing tops in the sink while on vacation?[/quote]

Depends on what you like to wear. I would take more dresses, less tops and shorts. I think dresses keep me much cooler and look more put together. Italians aren't big on shorts.[/quote]

+1 Just returned from Italy and had more dresses than tops and shorts. I wore each dress twice for a 10 day trip. Wore sneakers with the dresses. Seemed to be the "uniform" I saw everywhere. [/quote]

Do you have suggestions for good dresses for this? I feel like most of mine are either “work” dresses or going out dresses. I have one light crepe wrap dress that I was planning to take, and a couple of sundresses so I was going to add 1-2 of those. I’m not opposed to wearing dresses more than shorts but I don’t really have many that I feel would be appropriate. 
I’m a late 30s mom with 3 kids, my style is pretty classic and I’m not at the Eileen Fisher/J Jill  stage of life yet. 😉 [/quote]

No pp, but I would look at Title Nine and Athleta for quick drying dresses. If your linen pants are new, know that they are not going to look the same after hand washed in sink- I would send them out for cleaning.
 Also, wear them for a day and see how much they stretch out. I love the idea but find some linen pants look sloppy in a hurry. Nix the jean shorts.[/quote]
