Style Stylist: The EXACT outfits you should pack for a summer holiday

A fashion stylist has shared exactly what you should pack for a summer holiday, and the 'rule of three' she follows to ensure she returns with nothing unworn.

Award-winning stylist Melissa Murgana, from Melbourne, revealed you need to think about whether you will be able to wear something in three different ways in order to be able to pack it.
