[quote=Anonymous]Im' going to the beach next week. Although we are driving we will have beach stuff, so everyone gets a carryon size and that's it (and personal item for the car :). I will bring 3 bathing suits; one beach/pool cover up; flip flops, tennis shoes (for the gym) and one pair of sandals; 2-3 lightweight rollable dresses for dinner, one cardigan (for a/c); three pairs of shorts and 3-4 tshirts or tanks, one set of pjs, sock and underwear. I will be able to wear these to work out in and will also plan on laundry there.  For toiletries I have mini  bottles for my own products, and travel size for everythign else including tylenol, toothpaste, etc. I will bring 2 pairs of sunglasses, one cap and one hat; and sunscreen for everyone but figure we can buy more/anything else we need there.  My guess is that I'll spend most of the time in suit/cover up or shorts and a tee, and wear the sundresses at night. I''ll wear shorts, tee shirt and flipflops for the drive.

Packing for Paris (I go yearly for work) is harder. I always bring stuff I think looks good and then I get there and am look around, nah. I end up usually wearing simple, well cut black and white clothes with pops of color maybe in a top. . Last year I got the most use out of really nice black pants, cream trousers, a black/off white cashmere pull over, a black cardigan and two blouses, a green silk shirt and a hot pink blouse. I ended up wearing various combinations of those, along with plain black and white t shirts, the entire trip. I had other things but I wore 2 pants, two sweaters and two shirts, plus three pairs of shoes (chelsea boots, closed toe wedges and trainers, which I wear on the plane). Plus a black jacket. I'll probably just bring those clothes again this year and make it easy. I usually throw in a dress just in case  that can work with the wedges or boots if possible. [/quote]
