Flip-flops are what I live in on holidays, I usually pack a pair of training shoes for early morning runs & some sandals for going out in the evening, but once I've worn my flip-flops for a day or two, it's hard to ever take them off!
Flipflops=holidays. Holidays=Flipflops. TheEnd.
I remember going to Greece on holiday years ago & struggling from the airport, across the city to the ferry which was too take us to our dream holiday apartment with two enormous suitcases....by the time we arrived in the 110+ degree August heat, I could have quite happily have thrown my two ridiculously heavy cases into the crystal clear Med!
These days I pack much more minimally....I know that we only tend to wear half of what we take with us....and actually, there is something enormously liberating about jumping out of bed & throwing on the same shorts/vest/swimsuit combo that you wore yesterday & maybe the day before.Dress up in the evening if you like but during the day, chill out :)
Pinterest is full of the perfect LWD, gorgeous white cotton/linen/broderie anglaise beach wraps/dresses which shout French Riviera....I am always on the hunt for a little white dress that I can throw over my swimsuit, go the beach bar for lunch in or wear for the day at the market.
I love the dresses below which I discovered here in women's designer clothing....smart enough that you could dress them up, but definitely great for wearing during the day.
