Holiday packing....

We've just got our guest annex back, friends have left after a 6 month stay. Whilst waiting for the ultimate closet to be completed, I have started to search through boxes, hunting for suitable attire for the impending South of France pilgrimage. Gone are the days when I can throw on a Cavalli mini and wedges an head into lunch. Age seems to require thought and planning. I am taking 10 dressy 'lunch' outfits and 4 running into town for market shopping and breakfast dresses.  Lunch is the biggie, we have friends or business friends every day and everyone knows where the 'right' tables in the restaurant are. One sartorial slip and we could be relegated to 'the trees' so the pressure is on.  Patrice, the owner of our lunch spot, likes to see effort, he is pretty forgiving about age and looks. The beautiful 17 year old in a bikini will most certainly be tree bound, where as the chic 60 year old in Dior will be seated at a table near to Elton John or Puff Daddy.
So here are the options.....
Again I can't see what I am writing or pics as using a crappy tablet, so it is all a bit random!

    Honestly, you look absolutely amazing in every dress. I vote you take everything, and overpack. Your blue caftan is making me drool.

      You are v kind, but they are all distinctly more snug than in previous years. The caftan is perfect for beachwear, but in a strange turn of events doesn't quite cut it for these beaches!

    What a wardrobe girl! I love your dresses and insanely envious, also, Patrice? C55? ( don't want to completely out your whereabouts online!)

      Got it in one, would rather be off season, so much pressure this time of year! And I'm kind of enjoying my blissful, bucolic life and tea with my 80 year old neighbours!

    wow! What a stunning collection. You look amazing. I think it's safe to assume that you'll be sitting right beside Elton John if you wear any of those. Have a wonderful holiday
