I am going to Rome for few days and then will be getting on Cruise to France and Spain and some other stops in Italy.

We leave We will be there the last week of Sept through the 1st week of Oct.

I need to start shoping and organizing what I have... Help!

What are the temps going to be like? How much time do you have off boat at each stop?

[mariafromnj]

3 days in Rome and about 7 am - 7 pm in each of these stops.

Florence/Pisa, Italy, Cannes, France, Provence, France, Barcelona, Spain, Naples, Italy.


Looks like average temps during that time are 70 - 77 in those areas.

I'm not a shorts person, so I'd probably do a dress for each day with a mix of cardigans, blazers and scarves you could layer; and a few extra items for dinners you dress up for.

ditto dresses. I hate wearing jeans to walk around Europe. Be sure to have something that will cover your shoulders if you go to a church/cathedral.

i love Pinterest for this type of organizing.

I try to make complete outfits w/ belts, jewelry, scarves, layers (interchangeable pieces) for excursions, dinner, pooltime, etc. then only pack things you will wear... hopefully more than once!

I don't do shorts either LOL
I am not sneaker person either so so good suggestions for comfy shoes that are cute would be great. I would like to keep them under $75.

Bring layers, especially if you are going to be on a cruise. I recently have been packing in one color + neutrals that way I can mix-n-match items. For me, light linens and knits are an easy way to feel comfortable while I'm traveling.
