{packing for italy}








dress {forever 21}, purse {steve madden}, sandals {target}, sunglasses {ray ban}, accessories {vintage}


hello lovelies. italy is only 4 days away! (freaking out just a little..) as i've started packing, i realized that i need a few outfits to be able to toss into backpack for those spur of the moment weekend excursions to paris or barcelona.
this dress is perfect for traveling. its lightweight, super comfortable, and takes up the same room as a t-shirt in my suitcase. with the right accessories and shoes, it can go from weekend shopping to late-night date night. slipping on a pair of boots, a scarf, and a great cardigan will transition it easily into the ultimate fall outfit as well. i will definitely be getting my use out of it over these next four months in italy.
stay tuned for all of the italian adventures soon to come. only a few days left!!

  3. I came over from Pleated Poppy. We recently spent a few days in Italy (Lake Garda & Verona) was lovely. Fashion and style is very different there :-)
