Dresses are one of my favorites for traveling. Period. So on our vacation to Germany, I packed a number of them as easy outfits. Pants + tops take up so much more suitcase space! Today's dress is brought to you by Old Navy past clearance sales.
Notice my running shoes mucking up my style on the hike to Neuschwanstein...
Okay, so my belt isn't staying where it should be, but you get the idea. I was very comfortable, and I had a cardigan in my Longchamp bag for when the temps shifted based on altitude and whatnot. While the rest of my family wore shorts/pants, I felt very happy in my casual dresses, and I think it's great for photos!
I've also observed that most women in Europe, while they wear the shortest mini skirts, do NOT wear shorts. It is the quickest way to call yourself out as a tourist; that's another reason I like dresses. What do you wear when you travel?
Here's a little snapshot of the other frocks I wore while in Germany...
P.S. This is possible TMI, but for my fellow curvy girls in dresses, I also pack a little tube of chafing-relief powder gel when I travel and know I'll be walking a lot. A pea-sized amount goes a long way. I actually used this as a makeup primer (yes, on my face!) for years, as it is the same ingredients as Smashbox primers but way cheaper. This stuff is the bomb, so I had to share it here.
