Bom dia from a very warm Madeira! I hear the weather is pretty warm back home too. We took these photos a couple of days ago when it was quite overcast, although still hot and muggy. Obviously I had to visit my favourite shop, Dona Hortensia, while we were walking around Funchal. Actually, I’d already popped in quickly a few days prior to that and bought this co-ord. It was ideal for a cloudy day of mooching around and having a leisurely lunch. I’ll show you what I picked up on my second hit in another post!
A tropical print trouser co-ord like this is so useful for holidays because I can split it up for multiple outfits; I could switch the top for a T-shirt, vest top or a plain button down shirt. Similarly, I have the option of pairing the top with shorts or loose linen trousers. The top is oversized (I’m wearing a small) so there’s enough fabric to knot it at the front for a different look. My big Fabienne Chapot bag has been very useful for carrying all my stuff in (water bottle, suncream, power bank, makeup – all the usual paraphernalia).
My Strive sandals are also holiday heroes thanks to the supportive footbed and three adjustable velcro straps. If my feet start to swell in the heat as the day goes on I can easily loosen the straps for extra comfort. I only brought gold jewellery with me because that’s what I’m wearing on a daily basis, plus it goes with everything. I tried really hard not to overpack but my rucksack and case were still really heavy – I think I’m a lost cause!
