Tips on how to pack for a holiday

Tomorrow we're going on holiday - YAY! First hols abroad as a family for a couple of years. This year we're off to Soller (Majorca)with my father in law, sister and brother in law and my 2 nephews. It's the first time we've holidayed with others before and I'm nervous!

I have had to swap my usual wonder bra bikini for a more 'suitable for the older family members' tankini.  I did try on lots of costumes via M&S last week but I don't want a costume, I want a tankini. All of the costumes and 2 tankinis I tried from M&S didn't work out. I have a long body and they were all too small/tight for me - even though I loved the look of the halterneck black one. 

I returned them all last weekend and bought the turquoise one from my local store. It was £20 with a 30% discount - result! The grey one is Elle Sport from Debenhams and was £30 all in in the sale.

Here is what I'm travelling in:
Harem pants - Next (similar here)
Vest Top
Scarf - Hobbs
Denim jacket - TK Maxx
Flip flops - UGG

I've been told it's a casual place and heels not welcome due to small narrow cobbled streets. Here is what I plan on taking and all can be mixed and matched for the 7 days I'm there.

Off to lie down, that was seriously HARD to do but equally good because now I' have photographs to remind me of the outfits! I forgot to photograph the strapless floral sundress for around the pool and my black maxi dress - I'll show you all when I'm wearing them when I get there.

Tips:
Pack for HALF the amount of time you are going. You can repeat your outfits.

PLAN your outfits and take photographs so you have a reminder of what to mix with what

That's it - that's my only 2 tips!

I'll not be blogging, I'm taking a WHOLE WEEK OFF from the world. Urm perhaps I'll be on Instagram and Facebook though!
