What to pack for a summer seaside mini break in the UK
Do you over pack? Take a suitcase full of clothes yet wear the same t-shirt and shorts when you're away? The key to packing for a mini break is to think of it as creating a mini capsule wardrobe so that each piece is worn at least once and you can easily mix and match items to create different outfits. I recommend sticking to one colour palette, for this holiday I went for neutral pieces with some simple prints of leopard print, stripes and florals.
Here are just a few of the outfits I created from my little suitcase for our break to Salcombe. A lot of my clothes are from previous seasons, preloved or vintage so I have found current similar items incase you spot anything you would like to buy.
