Fashion Over 50: Comfy Things in Neutrals & Blue

In My Bag For a Laid Back Vacation

Packing for vacation is easy for me these days. It’s all about casual hikes and no minimal formality. On our last trip to Oahu’s North Shore (my happy place) where I hang out as much as possible with Honu (my favorite green sea turtle creatures), soak up the ocean’s magic, and recover from the stress of work life, I packed everything I needed in a very small checked bag and a carry-on like this:

Packing less things means everything must be versatile and multi-faceted. This blousy swim top can be worn off the beach easily…

and I can’t say enough about Athleta’s swim shorts – here’s the style I wear (and I own probably four colors).

Find more ideas for pieces that can be worn multiple times for an un-fancy getaway.

How Fast Can I Add These to My Cart!?!

Dress ‘Em Up or Down

I love the versatility of a long skirt which works as well with a funky t-shirt as it does with a silk blouse.

And wouldn’t this go with just about everything? Looks like the Tiffany’s one!

Joggers & Sweats

This style can be flattering on so many different body types…think I need every color!

Just One Pair of Sandals

I wear comfy sneakers on the plane and pack just one pair of comfy wedge sandals plus flip flops (which are known as ‘slippers’ in Hawaii).

I can’t live without beachy denim shorts!

Swim Stuff

Even though I brought along my favorite one-piece swim dress, I never wore it. There is no law that mandates you wear only granny suits after a certain age. I’m comfy in bikini tops and boyish swim shorts.

and you gotta love Athleta:
