    Lots of differences here!
    I def. need and use diffrent shoes.
    Good walking shoes is essential = we walk with our dog a lot on holiday.
    Posher everyday shoes.
    Flip flop type Birkenstocks for long car journeys, can take off and put on for convenience. These shoes I also wear instead of slippers. Great for at the caravan and going swimming.
    The secret to success is making very small, yet constant changes.:)

    5 prs pants
    3 prs mix & match trousers including the pair I'm travelling in
    5 mix & match tops
    1 long dress can be casual or dressed up
    1 pr walking/driving shoes
    1 pr light shoes for day/evening wear
    4 scarves - my favourite 'change the look' accessory
    Cozzie
    travel tube of hair/body wash decanted from value tube
    Small tin Nivea cream decanted from value tub
    toothbrush/bicarb in a tiny tub
    eye liner & mascara.
    pretty purse for day/evening use
    It all goes in a small backpack with a pocket in the front for tickets etc.

    I used to take a case but found I only wore about 1/3 of what I took so downsized which makes travelling so much easier.
