As you have probably noticed: I finished my three weeks in the UK and just started my time here in Paris (which also means my trip is halfway through). Living out of a suitcase for six weeks is not my idea of fun, but traveling is what I love so I'll endure a lot of mildly uncomfortable situations in order to see new places (just ask me about the six flights of stairs I have to climb every day to reach our borrowed apartment). The key to packing light is a willingness to re-wear pieces again and again--I have been living that philosophy to the fullest and I thought I'd illustrate with just two of my "suitcase" dresses. I've worn both of these dresses far more than three times since purchasing them--these are just the ways I've worn them since I've been in Europe (you will also note the repetition of shoes, my only bag, and so forth).

I have been traveling a lot this summer and I know the feeling! It really helps you determine key pieces in your wardrobe and how to mix them up in unique ways.

you know what? for me, there's something exciting with living off my suitcase whenever i travel.. i don't know what it is, but i guess, it makes me more creative with my outfits! :D

Even when I went to NY for a weekend, I felt pressed with what clothes I can bring that could be remixed-- I give you serious kudos for remixing for three weeks! Fashion meeting practicality is an important skill to have. :)

With cute dresses like those, I wouldn't mind remixing my wardrobe!

you look really great! I love how you change it up. its really cool to be able to see how you operate on trips :3
I love how you showed your remixes, it inspires me! :D
I should try and apply this thinking when I pack for my holiday next month. It'll save me space in my bag for holiday purchases!
Also, I've just started a new project over on my blog called The World View Project and I'd love it if you could take a peek. Thanks if you do! ^_^
Ah, so that's the trick. hehe I'll have to remember this the next time I go on a trip.

Great choices. I have to pack my suitcases next week for Paris to...and I'm still afraid of doing it because I really don't know what I should carry with me!
I love both dresses, they're gorgeous :)
