Help - clothes for travel

[niccig]

We’ve got a long trip this summer - 11 days in Italy, 11 days on safari in Tanzania, 3 days in Zanzibar, 1 day in Zurich.

I’ve put on weight and am size 12-14, and very pear-shaped. I have several joggers that are wicking material that I wear here in LA summer. I’ve picked up some wicking material t-shirts and have 2 long sleeve hiking shirts for the safari. The issue is with Italy - joggers and t-shirt is plain looking. I’m annoyed that DH and DS have more options for shirts that are wicking and look good. So they can wear same clothes in both locations. The t-shirts I have are mauve, white, grey and blue and are like this https://www.rei.com/product/144065/p...y-shirt-womens

Maybe accessories to dress it up a bit?

I would honestly toss in a few skirts. They don't take up much space and 2-3 can be rotated. 1 dress would be nice as well (I bought a cute Boden one on Ebay for Italy last year). On Amazon, search "fold over skirts" and those will be comfy and easy to wear. I think your t's will be fine with skirts but I think you will feel underdressed no matter what you accssorize with if you have joggers on. Unless they are those cute linen joggers over on Athleta now.
Some simple bracelts might be nice https://www.target.com/p/semi-precio...60#lnk=sametab

I just recently did an international trip where I was trying to pack super light but not be totally boring with clothes. I was also going to a place where pickpocketing is rampant and was considering options, and came across an infinity scarf with a hidden pocket. I originally bought it for the pocket, but ended up loving the fact that it gave my otherwise fairly boring outfits a pop of color/style.

Above is what I purchased....they're quite reasonably priced and take up very little room when folded flat, so you might be able to do more than one if you want some variety.

I also agree with SnuggleBuggles that a casual skirt or two would be ideal for Italy and the best way to dress up the t-shirts!
