Beach Style

Even though our English weather seems to have given up on summer there are many of you out there that are lucky enough to be heading off to sunnier climates and with that comes the perennial problem of packing.  With most airlines now restricting how much luggage we take (by charging us a fortune for more than carry on) its always an advantage if we are able to take items that are useful for more than one thing.  So today I thought I would show you what you can do with the simple wrap.

Here is one of our silk and cotton wraps.  Wear it as a scarf when you are leaving for the airport and whilst traveling on the plane.

Then, with a bit of wrapping and tying, you can use it as a sarong....

.....or as a halter top ....

you just take the wrap, put it around your neck, with the two long ends in the front, cross them over at the front and tie at back, then arrange the fulness to preserve your modesty ....

and if your feeling confident you can tie it around your head, to protect your hair from the sun and cover beach frizz

and you can tie it around your waist to give a pop of colour to trousers/shorts/dress....

And finally, around your shoulders against either the heat of the day or a cool evening breeze, or even just those persistent mozzies!!

Just make sure your wrap is soft so it drapes and generously sized and you have yourself a very versatile addition to your wardrobe that will take up very little space in your suitcase.
