I decided not to look like SUCH a tourist during my trip to Paris, France. :)
Dress: Modcloth;; Loafers: Geox
Packing at least 36 hours in advance was rather helpful in this regard. My usual routine occurs about 8 hours before my flight...and involves throwing things into my luggage that I could possibly where with other things.
Pants: Uncle's shop;; Tank: Garage;; Top: H&M;; Sandals: Greece
Pants&top: Uncle's shop;; Tank: Garage;; Sandals: Greece
*This* time though, things were different. A few dresses, two pairs of pants, and a variety of tops that matched. Oh, and about 3 pairs of shoes. Not including the pink mocs purchased while in Paris. :)
Dress: Make it Good
Top: H&M;; Pants: Uncle's shop;; Shoes: Aerosoles
What's What by Aerosole is seriously my favorite work shoe. I own two pairs now. :)
How do you normally pack for a trip? I always need some pointers!
P.S. I head home on Thursday. I miss my boo! And my pups!!
P.P.S. don't forget I've got items straight outta my closet for sale. Click the "shop my closet" tab above!

I'm OCD and need to make a list of things I want to take with me. This usually takes place 4-5 days before. After narrowing down things I want to take vs. stuff I'll actually wear and/or how many outfits I can make, then I wash and pack 3 days beforehand. Leaving my toiletries and blow dryer/flat iron for last.
ReplyDeleteI am also notorious for forgetting to pack a hair brush so I own 5 hair brushes. Whoops!
I tried to do the same thing while I was in Paris! But the cute shoes I brought ended up tearing up my feet! Ahhh c'est la vie!
ReplyDeletePS I've been eyeing that dress at Urban Outfitters! It's so cute!
Love it!! I kind of hate packing, haha. I never know what to bring!!
ReplyDeleteLove all of your cute outfits! I always overpack for trips. I bring a good third of my closet because I never know what I'll be in the mood to wear. It's awful. Hope you had fun on your trip!

Adorable! I love the new pink shoes! I think that I need to go through my entire closet and do an outfit arrangement. It would help my life.
ReplyDeleteLove your outfits! I especially love the dress you got at Make It Good, it's so classy. Hope the trip was really wonderful!

I hate packing (while loving to travel...), and often procrastinate, so things can get stressful. Ironically though, I love to read/look at packing posts on blogs like this one.
ReplyDeleteSo this last trip, I tried to motivate myself by saying I would do a packing post too. This actually worked out really well for several reasons. A) I had things planned out about what to wear, including about layers and what what happening each day. Also, I laid the clothes out as an outfit. This meant I wasn't just seeing it in my head but actually seeing if it worked (I often will think something will work and later decide no, it doesn't. On trips that's hard.) B) I was all pumped to wear things because of the comments saying they were nice outfits. C) We were ready for photo shoots even while travelling!
So happy pictures! :) And beautiful outfits! Packing is hard, I always pack way too many clothes, because I can never decide what I want to wear beforehand!
