my travelling closet

Zach and I have big plans for a trip to France and Italy this spring, and I'm already getting a bit intimidated by the daunting task of packing well.  Chances are the pictures we capture here will be looked at for years to come.

I don't really mind looking like a tourist in some ways - I'm pretty sure we'll stick out as soon as we open our mouths anyways.  Trying to dress French or Italian seems like too much pressure - I'd rather feel comfortable in my own skin and still come off as effortlessly dressed. 

At the same time I am hoping to avoid the white sneakers, fanny pack, and khaki cargo pants (and haggard tourist expression) worn all too often.  :)

Here are my goals:

• pack lightly...
• leaving room for a few souvenirs
• pick classic essentials over quantity
• use what I have
• accessories - big impact for little space!

Some inspiration tourist outfits (just picture this in front of the Coliseum or Eiffel Tower):
