I just got back from a 4 nights stay in the lovely town of Olhao, Portugal. The weather change became drastic each day, although I've packed for sunshine and cool winds. I did have my winter coat everywhere with me just in case the weather became unfriendly.
My key items on the trip were 1. Skirt, 2. Black tube pants, 3. A plain white tee, 4. A blouse and lastly, 5. A denim jacket.
Here are my OOTDs during the trip! These OOTDs were perfect for cool yet sunny weathers.
I went for all whites! Channelling a soft and feminine side, I wore a lace skirt which came with white shorts.
I got the skirt off Aliexpress.com (an online store much like eBay). I first laid my eyes on it on a Lookbook post and luckily I managed to snatch one for myself! (All the hard work of web searching...)
Although the skirt did not arrive to me in the correct length, I'm very happy with they way the whole outfit turned out to be.
I matched the skirt with a Cream V Neck Woven Tee which was from River Island but I got it off ASOS, which gave me 10% off (yippee!).
I also wore a lace tube which I got off eBay! (these are great for those annoyingly low necklines! Super cheap too!)
This next OOTD, I find more sophisticated and grown up. The striped blouse I also got from River Island is a perfect top for the black tube pants I'm wearing, also from River Island! (They're spring/summer line is just to die for!)
I topped it all off with a denim jacket (Top Shop) to loosen up the look and fitted my favourite Timberland booties.
There was a weekend market nearby our hotel and I got the best steals for jewellery ! In this OOTD, I wore one of the grabs I got off the market. Just a simple gold coloured necklace to complete the look.
The River Island striped top was bold and is a statement piece I don't have in my closet. You can wear it simply by matching it with black pants and you're good to go!
The tube pants were also something I needed in my closet. They were comfortable and they gave me the impression of longer legs! (OK maybe you can't see it here but they really do!)

One of the hardest parts about going for a holiday, personally for me, is the limited baggage allowance. Being able to mix and match would save you so much space! Even enough to carry a few souvenirs back home! All fitted in a regular cabin bag!
Here (casually posing next to a statue), is a mix and match of the tube pants, woven tee and the denim jacket!
My trip to Portugal was very relaxing. Although we didn't manage to do everything we planned to due to the unfortunate weather, it was still perfect.
Do keep an eye out for a video of my Portugal trip soon!
