This time next week I’ll be on holiday and I am so excited about having a few days off and also the prospect of packing, yes packing.

I love the challenge of planning my outfits and creating as many looks as possible with as few items as humanly possible. I take it almost as a personal failure if I need any more than carry on luggage for a trip.

So my holiday staples are light, bright summer dresses, lots of flats, cute sandals and the odd pair of thongs. I also make sure I take along my favourite lip gloss, a little make up and sunscreen.

What are your holiday must haves?

Let’s be honest here, most of us aren’t rolling in the funds. Most of us don’t have Gucci and Prada knocking on our door and throwing products at us. Most of us have to have a wardrobe that can go from season to season and still look fabulous!

But how can we turn some of our more ‘summery’ items into winter wardrobe winners?

I adore summer dresses! I love their flowing nature and their bright or crisp colours. I love the fact that you can walk around and feel like you’re promoting a perfume when a gust of wind touches your skirt.

They come in all types and here are three examples of how you can take summer staples and make them winter must haves that will have the envy of all fashionistas.

Apologies for missing my part of today’s style challenge post. I’m glad Bec and Amy got their parts up while I slept off a migraine. Not fun!

Even though the attire for the day is generally given out, it can be an extremely daunting process for finding the right outfit.. Am I over dressed, under dressed, is this appropriate.. List goes on!

We all know I’m a big fan of Maxi skirts and dress, I think the Maxi dress would be appropriate enough for a semi-casual beach wedding.

If you wanted something a little sexier you could definitely try a dress with a sheer maxi skirt like this one from Forever New, which unfortunately seems to no longer be on their website.

If you are someone who might worry about getting sand on the bottom of your dress then perhaps a maxi dress isn’t for you, but for someone like me who doesn’t mind at all it works just fine!

So hopefully Jess Amy, Bec and Myself have given you some ideas for the day!
