What to wear: Summer city break

It's finally getting sunny in England, about time right? Along with the sun comes a wave holiday-goers and fashion problems. I am no exception, next week a few girlfriends and I are going to the seaside for four days, but if I'm honest I have no idea what to pack. You know with these kind of trips there will be a ton of photos taken so some great outfits are a must but with only a small holdall and Britain's lovely weather it's a tricky one. This is exactly what I would wear so of course there are no bare legs involves- because who can deal with that?
For this post I'm going to give a packing list too and keep it realistic in terms of how many items you would take, what a shame I can't take 7 pairs of shows, but desperate times call for desperate measures. I done a few variations for some pieces in the list to accommodate different tastes and you can just change them up in the outfits too.

Packing list: Clothes and shoes
                   1 pair block heel sandals/espadrilles
                   1 pair fashionable trainers/flat ankle boots
                    Black t-shirt
                   Wide leg trousers
                   Cropped jeans
                   Patterned off the shoulder top
                   Midi slip dress
                   Shirt dress
                   Long cardigan/jacket
                 

                   Other random stuff
                    Tote/ straw bag
                    Glitter socks
                    Choker
                    Makeup (red lipstick)
                    Toiletries
                    Self tan lotion
                    Watch
                    Hair scarf
                    Fedora
                    Sunglasses
                    PJs/ Underwear/Briefs

Day 1: I wear this outfit a lot because it looks so chic but the trousers feel like pyjamas, no lie. It's the perfect travel outfit if you're on trains because its comfy, black (no stains!) and trousers are way more practical.. If most of your travel is sitting down I would suggest to wear your block heel sandals because they elevate your outfit and are a pain to pack.

Day 2: This is a perfect shopping outfit and great for going out to lunch because it is still quite smart. The trainers make the look more casual and for the evening you can switch to block heels. A cardigan or jacket is a must for British weather and a hat is great for sun or rain, you won't know until the day!

Day 3: The ultimate sight-seeing outfit that is comfy and practical, I put it here with some espadrilles, but really (as with all the outfit) it would look great with sandals or flats too.

Day 4: This could be a travel outfit, it is still comfortable especially with flat shoes but it still has interesting elements. I like to unbutton the shirt dress quite a lit a have a pretty bralette peeking through, it adds an interesting touch.
