How to Pack a Suitcase, Travel Cluster Tutorial Part 2 of 2

As promised: 8 outfits from 8 items of clothing,
ensuring a sleek little suitcase and a chic travel wardrobe.

Saturday Lap Transport
Normally I would have belted this, added a necklace, styling etcetera, but imagine having an over stimulated 20 month old baby octopus on your lap for several hours, and you'll understand why I didn't. 
Sunday Services
Mister B connects it to Christmas, I prefer tying it back to a sun ripened watermelon
Monday is for Patriotism
Mixing some gold into my red and blue balances the color triage and keeps me from feeling the need to pair it with earrings featuring little bears holding flags.
Tuesday Family Photography
Wearing solids and understated neutrals will keep the family portrait from looking like an Ode to Reachel 
Wednesday Park Picnic
Andrew will make me change into my flats before we leave, but can you blame me for trying to eat frankfurters in those hot pink heeled pumps?
Thursday Gateway Stroll
Layering ensures I won't be too hot in the outdoor terraces or too cold in the air conditioned emporiums
Fancy Friday
Can't wait to see my godkids and eat some pretty platings with dear Stephy and Christian
Saturday Art Stroll
Can you believe I wore this same shirt 9 months pregnant?  I can't believe I have to go home :(

  2. Happy Birthday and happy trip. I know I won't look this fashionable on my trip to Utah this week, but I'm working on it. Slow and steady is how I'm trying to finally add some fashion back into my life. Thanks for the tips.

  4. Very cute! But I have to ask: how can you get away with that few a number of outfits with two kiddos? My 6-month-old and I both can go through 4-5 shirts a day with the amount she spits up and drools. I don't think I'll be packing light for a while.
