Gravy, turkey, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pies...all of us are craving for the long awaited thanksgiving and Christmas breaks. It is a time to travel to places we love to meet our loved ones. Whether it is an hour or 15 hours from home, it's important to pack just the right amount of clothing...and to do this efficiently it is important to ensure that certain rules are considered. Dress Me Now has 17 tips (some of which we will cover this week and next) that are crucial to travel in style…
1) Color scheme...although it seems simple, this is one of the things many people ignore. If you pack a pair of green pants and a nice blue shirt then guess what, people are going to tell you directly that you don't have a good taste for colors or they would pretend they are color blind. The color scheme is crucial to anything...think that this might be the last time you can choose a color for your clothing like selecting a color scheme for your house/room. This helps you because you will realize that painting the wrong colors in the room is almost unthinkable as you have to scrape the bad colors off, select a new color scheme, put more labor and finally waste a lot of money to get the desired look!
2) Separates...this is what is going to help you in any occasion. Tights and tank tops are life savers! I
f for some reason the temperature increases to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, a tank top and a nice shorts or jeans will keep you comfortable. If you are slim and the tank top is long enough, the tights can substitute the need of bottoms. Also, tights come in handy when you have to layer during a cold day or when you need something longer for your dress. The key to selecting the colors is to have couple of neutrals and a rare color that goes well with your semi-formal dress. But remember don't go for all neutrals 'cause that's boring!

No matter how stunning you look in cotton tanks its best if you leave them at home. You can easily substitute pure cotton fabrics with cotton mixed fabrics that do not crumple easy and still keep you comfy at the beach. Denim is always the best fabric to choose during travel and this comes handy for almost all your bottoms. Silk, crepes, and stretch nylon also do you well. They are not easy to crumple and also look expensive!
4) Shoes…can’t get enough of them. It’s always tempting to evacuate the entire closet for just one vacation, but face reality…your parents/significant others/family members would go c
razy if you told them that. So to keep things under control, three shoes will do the trick. One flat/running shoes for walking, one platform heels or low-heeled shoe for a dinner at a nice restaurant and a high heeled shoe for unexpected high-end events. These shoes are not to be of a specific color the important factor here is to blend in with almost all the clothing that you are taking with you. Neutrals and hues of pink, purple, and brown work best.
