A Week In Dresses and Skirts

Slowly but surely life is getting back to normal. It can mean something else for everyone, for me it looks like it’s getting back to travelling. To make it a bit more interesting and to have fun while I travel, I decided to pack only dresses and skirts for a week. Not because it was recommended, but because I just wanted to challenge my capsule wardrobe and make it work harder for me. And I hope I will inspire you, that wearing only skirts and dresses while you travel is possible. Let’s embrace a week in dresses and skirts.

A Week In Dresses and Skirts

Most of the time I wear jeans and look tomboyish, but summer challenged me a bit and I pulled out dresses and skirts. And this week I realized how easy is to look effortlessly chic. I fell in love with the comfort of dresses and skirts. They are easier to wear than shorts/pants when you like to be put together or you want to feel better in any situation.

Dresses

The dress on its own creates the outfit, so you should add a perfect fit and style to your capsule wardrobe if you didn’t do it until now. Add comfortable shoes for a day look, trainers for a weekend or heels for a night out or work and you can beat the day.

Skirts

Trends are changing, so we do, what is great and natural. But if we choose the fabric and a simple cut and style a good skirt can take us far. Same as the dresses they can be dressed up or dressed down. I love to wear skirts with a simple t-shirt for an everyday look and with a silk top for a more dressed-up look or for hot summer days.

T-shirt

As this should be a little guide on what to pack or what to wear for a week, the t-shirts are important items on the list. They make dressing a bit easier. Choose one that you feel the best in, and suits your shape and needs. The staple of your basic everyday wardrobe shouldn’t be left behind when you travel.

Tops

The silk tops can be worn on their own in the summer heat but if you like to wear them longer they make a perfect versatile piece of clothing.  Worn nicely under sweaters.

Tote

For a travel light wardrobe, the idea is to take only a single bag. So make it big enough to fit all your clothes in but choose the one that stands for any occasion. What I found really easy when I packed the skirts and dresses is that they don’t take up as much space as trousers and shorts do.

Shoes

Same as with the bag the ideal would be to take only a single pair of shoes. But sometimes it’s impossible to wear one and pack another pair. It gives you more options to play around with your simple wardrobe.

Hope I inspired you a bit to wear more dresses and skirts. If you like more inspiration, have a look at my Pinterest or pop in to see my other capsule wardrobe outfits. But mostly enjoy the rest of the summer.
