It assumes a five-day beach trip, so you can pick what you like and downsize according to your needs:</p> <p>o One cotton sundress<br /> o One gauzy or cotton skirt<br /> o One pair of loose-fitting pants<br /> o One pair of shorts<br /> o One beach cover-up<br /> o Four to six T-shirts<br /> o Two bare cotton tops, such as camisoles or tank tops<br /> o A light sweater or jacket<br /> o Bathing suit<br /> o Sun hat<br /> o Sunglasses<br /> o Flip-flops for the beach<br /> o Jeweled sandals with a small heel for evening<br /> o Walking shoes for shopping and touring<br /> o Sunblock<br /> o Dangling earrings and bangle bracelets in metal, turquoise and coral<br /> o A beach bag<br /> o A small bag for evening ( this could be a spiffy cosmetic case)</p> <p>I hope this will you give you some ideas! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-trip-with-bf-what-to-wear-for-beach-getaway#post-16808 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 21:11:18 +0000 Tanya 16808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Veronica, it might help if you gave us some more info, such as your body type, what you like to wear, what your style is, and then will you be going out to dinner to nicer places or you need strictly casual stuff?</p> <p>Either way, I think I have an article with packing list for exactly this type of trip in a book at home; so once I'm there ( in about ~4 hours), I'll post the list here.</p> <p>Have fun at the trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-trip-with-bf-what-to-wear-for-beach-getaway#post-16804 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 20:48:22 +0000 luckyveronica 16804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i need an idiot's guide to packing sensibly yet sexy for a three-day beach trip with my boyfriend. i'm one of those awful packers who throws everything in the bag because i'm never sure what i need, but i don't want to do that this time.</p> <p>we're both fairly casual, but since we'll be wet/dry/sandy at different parts of the day all weekend--i guess that is throwing me off the most--i want to be sure i bring clothes and shoes that are pretty and sensible. (fyi, i'm 31.)</p> <p>so, what should i make sure i pack? what kind of cover-up? all sundresses? do i leave the jeans at home? what's the best type of shoe(s) to wear? this is just a trip to the coast, not a far-off exotic vacation. but i'd like to look put-together and enjoy my bf's company instead of feeling frumpy. you won't offend me if you give me a super-specific list of what to buy.</p> <p>thanks in advance for the advice. </p>
