Bright & Basic

One of the best tricks to packing light is picking items that are versatile. Instead of packing bulky cargo pants, try stretch denim in a beige color. You get the versatility and comfort of cargos and still look fashionable.

Find your “WOW” color.

It could be red, an olive green or even black or white. I always find that this bright blue color makes me feel confident and can make a simple outfit pop.

I always travel with these blouses, for a few reasons:

  1. They don’t wrinkle
  2. The are lightweight and dry quickly while keeping you cool. (Even in hot places like the Middle East)
  3. They’re subtly sexy. They are very feminine but are still conservative making them super travel friendly for every destination around the world.

Where I wore it: Jerash, Jordan

I created a more “adventure-friendly” outfit for a day of exploring by cuffing the pants and rolling the sleeves of the blouse. Then, I tucked in the blouse and wore gladiator sandals and stayed comfortable and cool all day.

A much better alternative to jeans and a t-shirt!
