*The large purse in this list sold out quickly so I have replaced the link with a similar bag in the same price range.
I had a challenge this week. Several weeks back I had a request to help with a week-long packing list for New Orléans in April. The catch is that she has a sun sensitivity so she needs coverage while still remaining cool in the humidity.
My oldest daughter has a slight sun sensitivity. While we don’t have to keep her covered we do have to show caution because turns red quickly and is prone to getting overheated and will throw-up (fun). So for this list I tried to stick to fabrics that breathe like cotton, and linen.
The linen pants and maxi skirt/dress are light and airy, a straw hat with a wider brim, and a cotton scarf that can also be used to cover the arms. Both the chambray and kimono are easily layered over to keep the shoulders and arms covered.
A pair of black pants are good for a quick dress up if needed, and for the shoes I stuck with some sneakers, a pair of mules that cut up high enough that the top of the foot isn’t exposed, and the booties have perforations to allow air through.
I planned about 10+ days worth of clothes but you could easily take out some pieces to cut it down. The outfit options for this list will be in the next post.
Do you have any other fashion suggestions for a traveller who needs to keep covered from the sun?

The Cruise Discussion
Taking advantage of the fact that we don’t need to wear a coat on #sundayfunday
I’m totally stating the obvious here but as I have mentioned 10 million times my goal in life is to eventually move and settle in Europe. Is is going to happen? I don’t want to say “probably not” because that would be defeatist so I will just say hopefully and keep my fingers crossed. The cities that are on my shortlist are London, Edinburgh, Dublin, and Copenhagen. I have always been drawn to Copenhagen. Maybe it is my ancestry coming through (I am supposed to have a large part of Danish in my history but I have yet to do the ancestry.ca DNA test to verify that). These cities being on my shortlist for permanent settlement is why I am thinking about centring our next vacation around them. Also, Tom’s job is in tv/film so a move to England could lead to employment since they make so many awesome tv shows and movies there. One word (or three letters) BBC, most of my favourite shows come from there. Continue Reading
