let me just say right here that i don't even know where to begin with this post.
i try to talk about things i know a little about but since i've never been to europe or traveled for 21 straight days, i feel like this post should be written when i get back from my trip.
but we can all live vicariously through my mistakes.
what started out as a 10 day amazing garden tour to london has morphed into 21 days that will include paris and provence.
i'm pretty positive i'll get it all wrong but this is my best attempt at traveling light and yet somehow not looking like a complete idiot.
after reading tons of blog posts and articles, it seems everyone's number one regret regarding packing is that they always over-pack.
so i'm trying not to.
i can buy anything i need - after all i'll be in london and paris, so i'm going as light as i can.
shoes are the hardest for me. the decision to not bring a pair of heels is almost killing me.
but like i said, if i really want a pair...i can buy them.
ok so i'm just gonna jump in with my packing list feel free to help me out.
3 pairs of skinny jeans (navy, black, white)
3 blouses (chambray, polka dot, silky navy)
4 t shirts
linen blazer
pj's
bikini

tennis shoes
booties
sandals
clutch
2 necklaces
toiletries
undies/bra
in addition to that, this is what i'm wearing on the flight...
black leggings
white t shirt
long cream cardigan
fatigue jacket
ballet flats
vintage barkcloth clutch by m. hadley that i purchased on etsy,
she makes beautiful clutches out of vintage fabrics.
there are so many gorgeous ones that it is hard to choose.
and btw, it is exquisitely made.
i highly recommend.
also taking this vintage chinoisserie pendant for good luck
and this all-purpose gold link necklace that can be worn longer or like a choker.

maybe with some outfit combo's if i have time.
my fingers are crossed that this all works out.

update...
***just to let you all know i am bringing a crossbody bag for daily use. the clutch is for evening dinners. and i'm not taking the white jeans even though i love them and they are comfy, i think they'll just get dirty too quick. and i'm watching the weather daily and right now it is cold and raining in both london and paris so i'm packing accordingly***
