I am beyond excited for my upcoming travels to Germany and England, but the one issue I've hit for years is over-packing. (Take it from my experience, it is so not chic to be lugging a bulging suitcase, and what fun is to shop in foreign countries if you already know that you can't fit one more bobby pin into your luggage?)
After turning into a frequent flyer, I have gained the knowledge of how important it is to stay focused, take the essentials, only take pieces you will want to be photographed in (and look at years later without being embarassed about how you look), and keep it basic, yet be ready for any circumstance. (Who knows if a cutie on a Vespa will sweep you off your feet for a romantic adventure? Any Roman Holiday fans?...)
With my pieces above, you can go to a fancy dinner, casually stroll the streets, be ready for rain or shine, and of course, look fab while exploring the world.
I know the U.S. is facing a ton of issues at the moment, but the LAST thing we need is for locals in foreign countries to look at another American tourist with the stereo-typical "Family Vacation" scrunchy socks with tennis shoes, track suits in the airport, or ill-fitted jeans. If our economy is openly down in the dumps, we might as well look good doing it!
