Travel challenge.
My husband Mr P had a significant birthday this month and as a treat we decided to take a short break in Morocco starting off with two nights in Marrakech and then four nights in a magical hotel in the Atlas mountains.
I was given strict instructions that I was only allowed to take a carry on suitcase for the trip which was quite a challenge. At least BA is a little more generous with the size of case than Ryanair. Still I had a variety of activities to accommodate ranging from doing the tourist thing in the Souks of Marrakech, to trekking in the mountains to romantic dinners by candlelight.
Below are a few outfits I put together. Photos by Mr.P

Most of the items I am wearing are several years old. If you are interested in trying out the look I have added a selection of similar at the bottom of the page.

Great ideas for different looks from one dress. That hotel looks fabulous!
You did really well and look fab! Wish I had known you were going, I'm trying to find someone to get me a Moroccan wedding blanket for my daughters wedding xx
I just found your blog today it's wonderful beatuful photos such an inspiration - keep up the great work Best Wishes
You have cleverly achieved a different stylish look in each photo with so very little. I am attempting to have just carry on luggage for my next trip to France - wish you could pack for me! Bon week-end
Those are all great looks! I love how you've used tops over the dress, adds a whole new dimension and styling options.
You look terribly chic in all these looks!! Bravo.
You look awesome and I now seem the absolute good sense of a black maxi dress! Since I already have a black jersy maxi skirt, that's going to be my workhorse this summer! Just wonderful and what a lovely get away for your husband!
LOVE the long skirt. Truly they can go anywhere and look wonderful. And, so comfortable. And, yes, you look wonderful. Now, if I could only go on this trip (which would be a major one if travelling from Texas!).

Really good ideas. So difficult to pack these days with the luggage restrictions. This is an idea I will copy!
A wonderful lesson in making the most of a few pieces!! You look terrific. You just can't beat the LBD, whether long or short for travelling.
