With two pants, two tops and a dress, you have 3 outfits. Personally I prefer only two. Wear one and carry one.
Got it, keep them on the list.the crop tops are instead of bra's
You're right, we only need two outfits but a lightweight dress is cool to wear in the heat after walking and makes a nice change
I'd be inclined to ditch the Crop Tops what you wear during the day should suffice. I notice that you haven't added rain pants, being July you may very well get away without needing them, but they're nice when it rains.
Out of interest how much does it all weigh with the backpack?
I could only dream of such a weight.6.5kg

The crop tops are in place of bras.I would trade out the crop tops for 1 long sleeve, super light weight, SUV treated, fishing shirt. It will keep the sun off and allow good air flow.

I used a large lightweight cotton scarf for a towel. It was easy to wash and dry, so could be used for sun protection on my neck as well.A large light weight cotton scarf has multiple uses: warmth, padding under pack on back or under arm straps, picnic blanket, buff, something to sit/lie on, use in lieu of poncho/rain jacket in a hot, light rain, carry stuff in it (groceries/laundry), looks nice in the evening, and most importantly it can be used as SHADE as you are walking. Not a lot of shade out here - I have been very grateful for the thin layer of protection my scarf has provided by preventing the painful rays of the sun from burning my skin.
And one other thing, I packed two emergency Power Bars before we left home. They ended up being our "Father's Day" picnic (on the scarf) lunch because I did not realize there would be no place to get food between Foncebadon and Acebo (a very long difficult and hot walk). Thankfully, there was a fountain midway. So always pack a little food before you set off.
What are you sleeping in?
Each to her own. My Macabi is my "evening wear" as well as my backup outfit.
Ok, be prepared to be shocked.... knickers and a T-shirt. No-one sees anything, I take my shorts off under the sleeping bag and put them back on before getting up.
The waist band in a Macabi will not do for sleep, it is too stiff.Yes, each to their own!I walk in my macabi.
I knoooow, we show more on the beachNobody sees anything (important) even if you walk around in knickers and a t-shirt ;-) Buen Camino, SY

Modifictions were cutting 16 inches from the side. Alas I need ped ever inch of the waist band.I don't sleep in mine; I just wear it between showertime and bedtime. My waist bands aren't stiff tho. I wonder if that happened to yours when you got the cool modifications.
