Capsule Travel Wardrobe Challenge: 90 Days Abroad. One Suitcase. No Repeated Outfits
Filed under Capsule Travel Wardrobe, Florence Italy, Noted
Since everyone keeps asking me how I’m going to manage to live in Florence out of one suitcase for three months, I decided on the plane ride between Paris and Florence to do an experiment: I’m going to try to mix and match my clothes and accessories in such a way that I don’t have any repeated outfits for the entire semester. (I’m going to post a daily photo of my outfit here so I can’t cheat).
After twenty hours of travel I’ve finally arrived at my Florence apartment. Ugh. I am so sweaty and hagged out.
The mirror is in the phone booth-sized elevator of my new apartment building. (The dart-like thing in my hand is actually the front door key to my apartment). I’m going to have to figure out a way to get better, full-length pictures of myself because the elevator lighting is doing me no favors. Also, I can’t get me feet in the photograph with the elevator mirror, which is actually a good thing today. Because I’m wearing my boner killer outfit destroying, white running shoes. From the ankles down I look especially terrible. Yes, lavender silk flower hair clip looks weird with the rest of the outfit. But it’s one of those things that just doesn’t pack well, so I had to wear it on the plane to keep it from getting squished flat in my suitcase.
