What to pack: Going light doesn't have to mean going without {Gadling}

Jun 23rd 2009 5:00PM I love my reversible broomstick skirt -- one side is mostly black with white at the border, the other side is multicolored floral. Just add anything from a tanktop to a silk blouse. You don't need a slip, and you gotta love something that's SUPPOSED to look wrinkled!

And I always bring a wide-brimmed hat. Buy one with a cord to keep it on in the wind, and a crown that will crush flat for packing. I had my hair pinned under my hat and didn't need to wear a loaner-headscarf to go into the Blue Mosque in Istanbul.

You can use a large scarf/pareo/pashmina as an evening wrap, a swim cover-up and a light blanket.
