17 days in Italy. One carry-on. 🇮🇹

Part 2 of my Italy Travel Style series is all about the outfits!

I’m not packing 17 outfits—I’m packing pieces that make 17 days of outfits. Everything needs to mix, match and layer for sightseeing, dinners, cooler October days and time along the Adriatic.

Next up… how I fit ALL of this into one carry-on! 😳

Which look is your favorite?

Poolside style made easy. ☀️ This floral maxi from Coldwater Creek makes the cutest swimsuit coverup while still looking polished enough to head straight to lunch or a stroll around the resort. I love pieces that can do double duty, and this one is comfy, flattering, and so easy to wear.

The blue sold out fast, but it’s still available in red… don’t miss it! ❤️

Would you wear a maxi dress as a coverup too?

Super cute 100% cotton dress in batik pattern. It comes in 4 colors! I am wearing dusty rose.
Artful ease for hot summer days. Light and airy in double gauze, this roomy caftan dress features a casual A-line silhouette, partial button placket and side-seam pockets. Slipover style with deeply side-slit curved hem, raglan short sleeves.

Just a perfect fall day… blue skies, leaves starting to change, birds chirping. I love this time of year!

I have always loved wearing sweatshirts as far back as I can remember! They are cozy and soft and comforting. This color wash hooded one is from @coldwatercreek and it comes in lots of gorgeous colors.

My shoes? Where are they from? I’m so glad you asked! @uinartshoes have the most unique artistic and comfortable slip on shoes around! They are designed for those ready to dive in, be mindful, immerse themselves in a place of travel.
Try them you will be glad you did!

Items I’m packing for my 17 day trip to Italy using only carry-on luggage.
I love this combo of black golf pants, linen blouses, striped T-shirt, Drnim jacket and mixing and matching! Change up the shoes from new balance white sneakers, to sandals. Add a couple of different necklaces and you e got multiple outfits with one pair of pants! #carryonpacking #multipleoutfits

#LTKMidsize #LTKTravel

Why do I love this outfit for travel? I’m glad you asked!
The raspberry color sweatshirt is perfect for layering when traveling and adds a pop of color! It goes with everything in my carry-on and is not bulky with the fabulous packable rain coat over the top. These stretchy knit pull on denim jeans are so comfy and flattering. Also perfect for packing on my trip.
I have to have comfortable arch support sneakers to walk all the miles in Italy. The creamy knit Born sneakers are a winner for me! Plus they are sooo cute!

Fall layers that are coming to Italy with me! 🇮🇹🍂

I love finding pieces that are comfortable, easy to layer and still make me feel pulled together—and this fall look from @ColdwaterCreek checks all three boxes.

The berry sweatshirt top adds such a pretty pop of color, while the lightweight neutral packable rain jacket is exactly the kind of layer I love for travel. Add these stretchy pull on skinny jeans and these incredibly comfortable knit Born slip-on sneakers, and I’m ready for a full day of exploring.

Even better? These pieces are going straight into my suitcase for our upcoming Italy trip!

17 days in Italy with a carry-on… can I do it? 🇮🇹🧳

I’m getting ready for our October trip to Italy, and I thought it would be fun to take you along as I figure out exactly what I’m packing — and more importantly, how I’m packing it! @softsurroundings

This is Day 1 of my Italy packing series, and I’m starting with the things I like to keep close at hand while I travel and how I organize my personal bag.

Over the next couple of weeks I’ll be sharing my outfits, shoes, layers, what makes the cut, what gets taken back out 😂 and all my little carry-on packing tricks.

My goal: 17 days, lots of different activities, and NO giant suitcase!

Follow along because we’re going to see if I can actually pull this off. 😄🇮🇹

A little fall outfit inspiration in all my favorite warm neutrals 🤎🍂 #ad

I’m loving these Anywhere ShapeMe Straight Leg Pants from @ColdwaterCreek — they’re comfortable, flattering and so easy to dress up or down.

I paired them with this soft ribbed turtleneck and then added a few fun details that make the whole outfit feel more finished: a mixed-metal woodland charm necklace, a rich brown suede bag and a lightweight jacket.

It’s one of those outfits that feels polished without trying too hard — exactly the kind of fall look I love.

Which piece is your favorite — the pants, turtleneck or suede bag?

Fall travel outfit, but make it chic 🍂🤎 #ad @ColdwaterCreek

These Anywhere ShapeMe Straight Leg Pants are such a good travel find — comfortable, flattering and easy to dress up or down. I’m already planning to pack them for Italy in October!

I paired them with the soft ribbed turtleneck sweater, which is one of those classic pieces that goes with just about everything. Then I added a few fall favorites: the new Woodland Charm Necklace in mixed gold and silver, this gorgeous brown suede bag (such an “it” bag for fall!), a fun cheetah-print scarf and simple black flats.

I love an outfit that feels pulled together but is still comfortable enough for a full day of sightseeing, lunch and wandering around Italy. 🇮🇹

These bras are fabulous! After all these years I found the most comfortable bras with no underwire! Thank you @Shapermint for creating these soft comfortable everyday bras and sports bras.

Throwing out a “Wicked” vibe with my black and green combo! Once again this black shirt dress has a new look! Adding a fun green and orange scarf, some cute green kitten heel pumps and a few bright green and orange bracelets makes for a new look! Wouldn’t an orange bag be a fun addition? What do you think would you wear this combo?

This must have black shirt dress styled casual sporty look for us women over 50! Add a ball cap, comfy creamy white sneakers and a cute fall necklace from @Coldwater Creek
Of course one needs a straw bag to hold all your goodies from shopping right? 😁👍🏻

The black shirt dress that can be styled many ways! It’s a must have!

Easy style over 50 doesn’t have to be complicated. 💙

Give me a great button-down shirt, white pants and a few fun accessories and I’m happy!

I love how this blue shirt looks with crisp white pants, but it’s really the little extras that make the outfit — comfortable @Coldwater Creek Birkenstock sandals, a brown suede crossbody bag and a statement necklace that adds just enough personality.

This is exactly the kind of outfit I reach for when I want to feel comfortable, pulled together and still like myself.

And yes… I’m a firm believer that women over 50 can have a LOT of fun with fashion. We don’t need to fade into the background!

Would you wear this blue + white combination?

I’ve linked the pieces and similar options for you. 💙🤍

Style doesn’t have an expiration date 💛

If you’re 50, 60, 70 and beyond, I hope you’ll hang out here with me. I love sharing easy outfits that are comfortable, colorful, a little playful, and still feel like us.

Today’s look is all about breezy linen, sunshine yellow, a big hat and some very fun shoes. Because getting dressed should still be fun at every age.

Are you a 50+ style girl too? Tell me your age decade below — 50s, 60s, 70s or beyond. I’d love to know who’s here! 💛

I love to stretch my wardrobe don’t you? Today I am sharing 5 ways to style this blue shirt.
First up is over some white jeans with red sneakers and a baseball cap.
Next I’m wearing it with a long silver necklace a black cuffed linen capris and black sandals. Changing it up now I am wearing the blue blouse with my favorite flowy red skirt, brown sandals, straw hat and straw bag.
These pink pants look fabulous with the blue blouse half tucked the pants are from Costco!
Last but not least the red skirt, blue blouse with a longer denim jacket, a blue western styled purse and leather boots. #blueblousestyled5ways #blueblouse #stretchyourwardrobe

I don’t normally talk about bras or under clothing on here but I was #gifted some fabulous new bras from @Shapermint and they wanted my honest opinion. I am in love with these new bras! The softness, the fabric and no wires!

Kind of funky, definitely fun… and oh-so-comfortable! 👟✨

These @UINARTSHOES caught my eye because they’re just so different! UIN was born in Toledo, Spain, and their designs combine two things I love — travel and art. My pair has this fabulous vintage map print that feels especially perfect for a travel lover like me. 🌍

And while the print is what got my attention, the comfort is what really won me over. They’re lightweight, roomy and easy to walk in — exactly what I want when I’m sightseeing, traveling or spending a day on my feet.

They are a little more of an investment than your basic everyday shoe, but if you love comfortable footwear with lots of personality, these are definitely something fun and unique.

And I have a discount code for you! Use UINTRAVEL when you shop. ✈️

What do you think — would you wear these funky map shoes?

The perfect denim jacket for fall 🍂

You know I love a good denim jacket, but this one from Coldwater Creek is a little different. It’s made from stretchy knit denim, so it’s soft, comfortable and easy to move in—without that stiff denim feeling.

I also love the longer length, all the pockets, and the banding around the waist that gives it a little shape. It’s one of those easy jackets you can throw on with jeans, pants, a skirt or even over a casual fall dress.

And can we talk about those pockets? 🙌

This is exactly the kind of piece I’ll reach for over and over as the weather starts cooling down.

Would you wear a longer denim jacket like this?

Just reminiscing about our recent trip to Italy. We stayed one night in an old boat in Sperlonga. Such a unique and fun experience! Sperlonga is located between Rome and Naples in the seaside.
My easy comfy outfit is a fabulous tank top, white jeans and water shoes! They are perfect for walking on cobblestone streets and rocky beaches.

I love this easy breezy striped dress that takes me everywhere from shopping at the farmers market with sneakers and a straw bag to dinner out with sandals and even with flip flops over a swimsuit as a coverup! Score!

Loving this cute red skirt! I asked Chat AI to help me style this skirt the best way since I have broad shoulders, no waist and a tummy. It suggested a light weight linen blouse, to do a front tuck, leave the long back out, add some cute jewelry and sandals! I love how it looks!

#LTKootd #LTKOver40

These denim tencel pants from Soft Surroundings are the perfect addition to your early fall wardrobe. They are lightweight, elastic waist with drawstring in front. I paired them with a long sleeve waffle shirt and a lightweight jacket. Casual cream colored sneakers and some fun beaded earrings. #earlyfall @Soft Surroundings

Overalls for women over 50? YES please! Super comfy perfect for relaxing at home, in the garden, running errands, going to lunch with the gals, you name it these are the cutest overalls ever! I love to wear them with a tank top for a chic vibe or long sleeve shirt for fall. Add a western looking leather crossbody bag and you are ready for the day. @Coldwater Creek early fall clothes hit the mark for us gals over 50! #coldwatercreek #ad

These patchwork denim overalls from Coldwater Creek are such a fun way to ease into early fall! I paired them with a simple white tank and these comfy neutral Coldwater Creek sneakers for an easy outfit that works for gardening, running errands or relaxing on the porch. I love the mix of striped and floral denim—it gives classic overalls a softer, more feminine twist. Comfortable, playful and so easy to wear!

She stole these overalls right out of my closet! My daughter styled these adorable overalls from Coldwatercreek for herself! 😁 I have to admit they do look so cute on her. I can’t wait to style them now for me! I love the different denim patchwork pieces and the soft denim fabric. No matter your age overalls are fun to style and wear! #overallstyle #coldwatercreekpartner #ad

Such an easy summer outfit from @coldwatercreek! Perfect for dinner out with family

The lightweight white top has the prettiest texture and frayed sleeves, and I love it paired with these striped cropped pants, red espadrilles and this beautiful navy blue embossed western crossbody bag with a navy bandana scarf tied onto the bag for a cute look.

My blue striped pants are sold out, but they have a really pretty green-and-white striped version available now!
