Q: I have a Bermuda Cruise vacation coming next month. What should I wear in order to stay comfy and chic? With two kids and a busy work schedule, I like low maintenance pieces that I can throw on and go. I have a petite frame and slightly pear-shaped body, and my budget is around $500.
A: For a relaxing cruise vacation, the last thing you want is to think about what to wear. Below I picked six pieces as a mini capsule wardrobe, which can create 11 outfits for you to enjoy a worry-free vacation and save precious luggage space for souvenirs. More over, you will find that you can’t stop wearing them after the vacation: Many are classic enough to accompany you season after season. Hope you enjoy them as I do. Wishes you a safe, relaxed vacation with your loved ones!
