| Last day in London! |
This is my last vacation post! Tomorrow I will be back to the usual format. :-) But first - I spent one more day in London, wearing this outfit. The weather was supposed to be super-cold, so I layered up. The sweater is warm, and so are the jacket and boots, so it actually turned out to be a wee bit too much, and I wish I would have worn my loafers instead. We met up with some friends for lunch, then I headed to the National Gallery to check out the art. It was absolutely amazing - saw some really famous Van Goghs and other paintings that stopped me dead in my tracks. I also love that museums are free in London, so there was really no excuse not to go and enjoy it! The next day we spent 10+ hours on a plane (connected through Boston) and I wore the outfit below. The picture of me at Harrod's in Heathrow came out grainy so I also included my prep picture (which I never intended to show you, hence the crazy hair, whoops). My leggings were navy and the top half was camel. Soooo comfy and I slept for hours on the international flight. Leggings for air travel = best thing ever!

I am interested to know how many jacket, shirts, pants etc you took. When I travel, I also struggle with taking too much, because I like to look like different each day. You seemed to pull that off with a few amount of clothes. Thanks - I enjoyed your trip!
ReplyDeleteCute outfit for traveling. Love the color of the leather jacket.
ReplyDeleteThanks Fran! I'm going to do a recap and show you guys everything I packed - I brought 4 jackets: this leather jacket, this camel blazer, a navy wool jacket and a trench coat (didn't use the last one). I also only brought 3 pairs of shoes and tried to make the same items look new with different tops/accessories! :-)
ReplyDeleteHow cute are you with the sweater over the plaid shirt! Very cute. I can't wait for it to get cold here in Texas so I can wear my new denim shirts under v-neck sweaters. Looks like your trip was so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI just realized you aren't wearing your wedding ring in any of your Europe pictures! Probably a good thing so it couldnt get lost or stolen.. I just never thought about it!
ReplyDeleteI love love everything about the first outfit, I must recreate it, it's like rocker chic (cropped leather jacket and boots) meets preppy (sweater and plaid shirt), love it! I love the second outfit too, especially the leggings.
ReplyDeleteI voted! :)
Did you make your hair blonder again??
ReplyDeleteErica, I think the dark dye is just fading unfortunately. :-( Almost time for a touch up though so I'm planning to add more dark streaks back in!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kailey, I actually haven't been wearing it for a couple months for personal reasons. Depending on where you are traveling though and what kind of place you are staying (does it have a safe, for example), it might be safer to leave that stuff at home!
ReplyDeleteYou look like that after 10 hours on a plane? wow! I'm impressed!
ReplyDeleteYour London outfit is my favorite so far (though really, I love them all). Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteJ, How did you get such a great deal on the blazer from Express?!
ReplyDeleteMelissa, there are two times each year where you can find insane deals like this: right after Christmas, and in late June/early July. I found this blazer during the latter!
ReplyDeleteHy
ReplyDeletewhy you can,t contact me after searching such amazing deals in London my native city? you looks gorgeous and outfit is awesome.
Great traveling outfit, but I especially love the blue-and-white plaid shirt!! Gotta get me one of those!
