An Open Invitation Is A Road I Travel I On

After nearly three straight days of travel (yay, layovers!), I am safely ensconced in my sweet, little apartment in Athens. I am rooming with five other girls and while Internet connection is sketchy the apartment boasts a lot of fun personality: from the pink tiled bathroom to our balconies, this is a place I think I will live very comfortably.
There hasn't been much time to snap pictures or develop ground-breaking fashion just yet, but here is what I worn for my flights. The pictures were snapped in one of the airport restrooms.
Outfit details: sweater- Banana Republic Outlet, skirt- America Apparel, tights- some shop in Japan, shoes- Urban Outfitters, bag- Ruche
Athens is, predictably, wonderful and I haven't had too many adventures seeing as I haven't been here long and am still suffering from jet lag, but I have yet to be disappointed on any small outing!

Thank you to everyone for all the sweet comments lately and I will be visiting various blogs as time allows.

Cute travel outfit! I have never seen such a nice airport bathroom before, and the fact that it has decent lighting - amazing. Athens is such a beautiful city. Watch out for the creepy men.

lovely skirt. I am happy to see you are having a good time in Athens.

The Red Velvet Shoe said...

Sad that I have not visited in such a long time, did not even know you were traveling. . .so wonderful to learn that taking time to "dress" has earned you the respect of your new peers. . .I'm sure Greece will hold many wonderful memories for you. . .will try to keep up more as an armchair traveler fan!

ps~~be careful for those tall, dark, handsome Greek boys!!
