Packing Problems

September 8th, 2010



{Camel colors + Structured clutch}

When it comes to packing, I’m kind of useless.  I never really put together outfits or consider the different obligations that I’ll be dressing for, but instead just throw lots of random pieces into an overstuffed suitcase.  I try to be a bit more calculated with everything that I bring along for Fashion Week, but sometimes I need additional help.   In order to get some inspiration, I chose five images that incorporate trends with seamless grace and style.

{Frayed cut-offs + Geometric jewelry}

{Light denim + Deconstructed satchel}



{Whispy layers + Oversized belts}



{Army green + Orangey-red lips}

    I’m crap at packing too! I forget to plan outfits and always end up with a hodgepodge selection.

    Love the cut-offs. Good luck with packing!

    Such beautiful photos- I will definitely be checking out that blog! I love all of those trends, minus the torn shorts, because I feel like while they look great on Alexa Chung, etc., even when I wear them with tights, I feel sloppy.

    I’m the opposite when I have to pack…I go crazy picking out each outfit with coordinating accessories and shoes/socks, etc…I put all acceessories that go with each outfit in little labeled bags…I even write down the outfits with how I’ll do my hair and makeup! lol I’m a little too organized! :) Nice pictures/trends too.

    I’m exactly like you when it comes to packing.. I just throw whatever I like into the bag without any regard for putting together outfits later on… I’m trying to work on it though :)
