Marrakech ~ travel outift


I find choosing outfits to travel in so difficult when you're going from the cold to the (hopefully!) heat.  I'm getting picked up by my friend at 7.15am & judging by the current temperatures, it's going to be baltic again so I've got to be warm this end but not so much that I'm going to swelter within 3 minutes of getting off the plane because let's face it, with 25°c plus temperatures & menopausal hot flushes, this is very possible!


So I had a trial run & this is what I decided on in the end.  The jeans are the relaxed skinny by Next which I love the look of but I'm having a wee problem with them.  When I tried them on instore, they fitted perfectly so I bought them & put them on the next day.  By the end of the day though they had really stretched & I mean really - I could pull them down without having to undo the zip or button, surely not right after one wear?!!  So I'll have to pop back to town & either get a smaller size or swap for a different style.

The navy longline tee shirt was bought in Gap last year but this is similar & let's face it, anything that covers the arse is a good thing in my book!  The open jacket I bought in Next a few weeks back but I can't find it online so it must be last season stock - this is a great alternative.

You may have seen my coral Freckle Ice shoes from Clarks on Instagram the other day.  This is my fourth pair of these now, they're so comfortable - please don't ever discontinue them Clarks!!  And the saddle bag is also from Clarks but is now sold out - this one is similar.


Accessories wise, there's no point wearing loads of things that'll have to be removed at security so I'm just sticking to my gorgeous burnt orange leopard scarf from Alice's Wonders, handy for chilly mornings & planes, and my turquoise stretchy bead bracelets from Accessorize.  I can't find these online but layer up a few of these & you get the idea!



This is a close-up of the jacket, which I'm really pleased with.  I can wear it over any of my holiday outfits, it's especially handy for night time & I'll also be taking it to New York next month.

So there we have it, nothing exceptional or fancy but it's comfortable & practical - oh god, I sound like my mum.....!!! ;)

What's your favourite thing to wear when travelling?

  2. I agree with Donna above Sarah - looks great to me (love the scarf!) and if you sound like your Mum then I would too! Have to be comfortable when travelling - it's been a few years since I've flown but I can't be doing with the skyscraper heels and fancy sundresses I've seen some women wearing! xx

  4. I will be having exactly the same dilemma in May Sarah as we are off to Lanzarote! It's not likely to be that warm when we leave but hopefully it will be warm when get there! I pretty much know what I'm packing and I'm pretty surprised at myself that I haven't planned what I'm travelling in yet....there is some great inspo here though so I'm off to have a look! xx

    1. We've re-entered the depths of winter here today so it's even more tempting knowing we're heading for the sun! Too cold for flats today though, back to socks & boots! Xx

  5. Great outfit, I love your leopard scarf! I'm really surprised you say that about the Next jeans. I have a couple of pairs from last year, and they're just about the only Next jeans I've had that really keep their shape - I hope they haven't changed their denim, as I was planning on stocking up on another couple of pairs. I'll be interested to hear how you get on with your replacement pair, let's hope it's just a one off! xx

    1. Great scarf isn't it?! I took the jeans back today & swapped for the next size down - that NEVER happens!! The SA said they'd had a few pairs returned & if you read the reviews online, there are people saying the same thing, how bizarre? I've never had this problem with Next jeans before. You might want to size down if you buy more!! Xx
