Hi all, I'm still trying to catch up on YLF and get back into the swing of things after my holiday to Greece and I thought I'd show you a few photos of some of the clothes I wore. There are more details about my holiday in general, with some photos on my thread on off topic : http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....er-a-break (shameless plug for my thread, sorry!)

Meanwhile, I'm pleased to report that the amount of clothes that I took as mentioned here : http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ol-capsule seemed to work just fine for me, with plenty of choice and variety. We checked in two suitcases (3 small pieces of hand, carry-on luggage too) for me DH and DS and both were easily under the weight limit, so it seems we are reasonably light packers.

#1 A typical beach/day outfit

#2 More typical beach wear again (wet hair from swimming!)

#3 Culottes for evenings (pick taken before the hol)Top and skirt made by me.

#4 Casual evening outfit. Skirt that I made.

#5 Shirt hem cotton dress, made by me. Worn with leather flip flops.

#6 Different top with culottes

#7 Casual evening wear.

#8 Bonus family shot

I also wore the top in #6 with a melon coloured pencil skirt and my cage sandals, plus a couple of other dresses and tops. Sorry no photos of those though. I took 2 pairs of sandals and if I wore the same dress twice, I wore a different sandal and jewellery to mix it up a little.

Now for the mini report... I had my fashion head on when we were out and about in the evenings and enjoyed a spot of people watching. I obviously saw a lot of Greek ladies, but also, among many other nationalities, I saw a lot of Italian ladies and I have to say that they and the Greeks were probably among the most stylish. I think the reason I saw a lot of Italians is because they like to holiday in the Greek Islands in August apparently.

A few outfits spotted :

Italian lady in a wide legged, sleeveless jumpsuit in a fluid black fabric (PPL too) worn with cognac wedges and cognac belt.

Greek lady (more mature I think) Lots of big chains jewellery and some fluid trousers.

Greek lady in her 20's, very polished, neat dress, high wedges and bold lip. I noticed a few ladies of this age out for the evenings and they were always very polished and wore great dresses and high heels. Young looks but never cheap looking. They love a bit of jewellery.

I saw one same Greek lady, who worked in a restaurant in firstly a black and white striped, flared midi skirt. The stripes at random angles. worn with a tucked in sleeveless black top. Secondly, seen wearing a cream tube skirt and fluid dippy hem top in hot pink and flat, jewelled sandals.

Italian lady, spotted wearing a black strapless top, slim legged thick jersey trousers that were black at the back and red at the front with a white side stripe. Kitten heeled black sandals, large gold cuff and big red and gold earrings in a teardrop shape.

Finally I spotted some Italian men dressed in smart grey or blue jeans, white shirt, or light grey tee and the most gorgeous cognac, slightly point shoes with black laces.

Sorry this got to be quite a long post. If you got this far thanks so much for reading and all comments welcome!
