Travel Style: Picking a Color Palette
I mentioned in my previous post here all about how to pack and dress comfortably. I thought it would be good to expand today. I took a trip earlier this month to Birmingham, Alabama where my grandparents reside. We were only there for a few days and decided to drive from Texas to Alabama which is a 10-12 hour drive. Knowing that the attire was really casual, I pack in a very simple colors scheme – navy, red, white and denim.
Here is a list of what I packed:
· Striped red tee
· Navy tank top
· Red cotton peplum striped top
· Denim shorts
· Skinny and stretchy distressed jeans
· Gingham button up
· Leather slides
· Cross body purse (pink and leather)
· Red baseball cap
· Hiking boots
Here’s a few ways I put the items together:
Outfit #1: Striped Red top, baseball cap, skinny jeans, leather slides, pink cross body
Outfit #2: Peplum striped top, leather slides, skinny jeans, leather cross body
Outfit #3: Jean shorts, gingham button up, navy tank, leather slides, leather cross body (add hiking boots and hat for outdoor activities)
On this particular trip, I also brought a black dress and leopard flats and then a striped sundress that I wore with leather flats. I added the pink cross body for both outfits. It was casual, comfy and put together. The key to traveling light is to choose a palette, lay your outfits out before and have things that will mix and match.
