Under $100: Antidotes to Packing Panic

With just four days to go until my trip to Greece, packing panic is starting to set in!

I may have my luggage situation all set, but what to put in the luggage is a completely different story. I've been shopping for the last month to prepare for the trip, but now it is crunch time. I spent all of Sunday afternoon digging through my closet and putting together outfits in my mind. I have everything covered from a Greek island-appropriate fancy dinner out (white silk Grecian-inspired romper and heels) to an anti-tourist sight-seeing ensemble (t-shirt dress and white lace-up Keds). I just realized that I lack the perfect beach outfit, and--let's face it--the beach is where I intend to spend the majority of my time. Since I'm saving my dough for the trip and the inevitable shopping I will do there, I've given myself a budget of $100.

With a little online shopping sale savvy, here's what I've found:

1) Taupe one-piece with a sexy plunging neckline from Victoria's Secret, $45.99

2) Wide-brimmed black hat from Talbots (featured in our July issue), $14.39

3) Black faux croc sandals from Urban Outfitters, $9.99

4) Cat's-eye sunglasses from Forever21, $5.80

5) Aztec-print tote from Charlotte Russe, $16.99

For just $93.35 I'll have a chic new look fit for a day at the beach. Greece, here I come! I hope you're ready for me.
