Merino Wool - Travel Wear

What to pack for a holiday is always a debate in our family.  The girls bring way to much clothing and end up using only a few pieces.  I guess I was the same at their age.  I used to travel with two large suitcases for a week's vacation.  Today, myself and hubby share one single suitcase between the two of us.   I think I've mastered the art of mixing and matching, multi-use of clothing etc. 
 
Anyone who's met me knows that I love dresses.... Any excuse to dress up and I'm happy to oblige.  So, while on a recent vacation to Florida I made sure to bring along my new classic Black Merino Wool dress from Nature Shop's Icebreaker Collection  http://www.natureshop.com/ . 

Nature Shop claims that the dress packs down to nothing and is designed to travel across seasons and continents and that it is highly breathable and has amazing temperature control.

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that wool actually keeps you cooler than cotton on a scorching hot day.    Never too old to learn something new!
                  

What's so great about this timeless black dress is its versatility.  It can be worn together with flip flops for a very casual day look or dressed up for a chic evening look.

As any boater knows, space is always an  issue aboard a sailboat, so when packing for an extended trip I look for pieces that travel well and that are of multi-use.  This dress fits the bill!
