We’re going on vacation in Colorado next month and I’m trying to beef up my play clothes options, because my cutie patootie skirts aren’t going to work for a week of rafting and rock climbing and zip lining. And also because two years ago, when we went to Florida, I wound up doing laundry every single day we were there, which kind of killed the whole “vacation” vibe.
This weekend I spent some time assessing what I have and what we’ll be doing and what I need. I am short on versatile basics, like tank tops, and I am also in need of one more casual long-sleeved shirt, something I can layer or wear on its own. I’d been eyeing this J. Crew tunic for a while; it would look great with shorts or skinny pants, and could be layered over a tank or tee or another blouse or belted over a skirt. In other words, it’s super versatile.
This is also the type of shirt that magazines always swear works perfectly over a swimsuit, but I have to caution you that sunscreen can stain, and if you’re looking at a tunic like this is a light color or white, you’ll need to be super cautious about not getting sunscreen on it. Good luck with that.
