With the right clothes, hot and sticky is easy breezy. 

It’s 88ºF with 71% humidity right now in Granada, Nicaragua, where my husband, Hank, and I are spending the winter.

With weather forecasts back home showing snow and freezing temps, I couldn’t be happier to be hanging out in a hot place. 

It’s been a month since we arrived and I’d looked forward to supplementing my travel wardrobe here, but clothing choices in Nicaragua are surprisingly limited. So, I’m grateful to have packed the Horny Toad Oblique Skirt, which has turned out to be perfect for daily wear. 

Favorite feature: Made from a blend of Tencel®, organic cotton and spandex, this skirt is unbelievably comfortable and über-practical. I can dress it up with a blouse and strappy sandals, or team it with flip-flops and a tee for everyday wear.  

Not-so-favorite feature: In strong sun, it’s see-through enough to require something extra underneath. 

Bottom line: A hot climate travel staple that takes up almost no packing space, is fast drying, super comfy, and girly enough to feel pretty in. 

Better yet, I can feel good about my purchase. Horny Toad uses sustainable fibers, supports organizations that improve our world, was named by Outside magazine as as a “Best Place to Work.”, and offers a ‘guaranteed to impress’ lifetime guarantee.  

Part of the Women’s Travel Series, the Horny Toad Oblique Skirt is available for purchase at www.HornyToad.com or at The Travel Store at EllenBarone.com. Suggested retail price; $56. See also, Oblique V Dress.
