getting the most out of your carry-on
Summer is filled with a lot of packing and not always for the much needed R&R. I had to pack for a work trip last week. It was a convention in Dallas and besides the walk from the jitney to the hotel, I was inside the entire time! I went with another stylist friend of mine and thought I’d share what two seasoned wardrobe specialists packed for a 3 day trip on TulleBox.
For similar travel looks that could take you to a casual wedding, beach trip, honeymoon, or convention (my professional life happens to be in fashion which gives me some room to be creative), here are some pieces I put together from Kiskadee, Coco Blanca, and The Shoe Hive. These looks are based on three key pieces (a sweater, a dress, and a skirt), three pairs of shoes, one clutch, denim and some jewelry. In my professional opinion, this is how you build a seasonal wardrobe. By adding the various denim (here, distressed boyfriend and white), a blazer (in mint), and a white tank, you can achieve an abundance of looks from your carry-on luggage.
PLAN OF ACTION
Emilie Sweater from Joie at Kiskadee $238: Wear with white denim, over coral dress, with silk white skirt (three looks)
Nicole Miller Sunset Tidal Pleat Dress at Kiskadee $235: Wear alone, with Joie sweater, or with white silk skirt (three looks)
White Silk Maxi Skirt at Coco Blanca $165: Wear with white tank and turquoise necklace story, wear with Joie Emilie Chenille Sweater, add a blazer
