What I wore: Packing remix

We got back from Montreal last night, so as I've been doing lately, I wanted to share what was in my suitcase and the outfit options I had in mind while I was packing. I definitely felt a little bit more organized than the last time I packed, which was to meet the nephew and the Gina! :) I think it was mainly because my suitcase was already packed, so it was just a matter of switching out clothes. But all my travel toiletries, jewelry, garment bags, electronics, etc., were already in their right place. It was also easier to choose outfits because I was able to bring my highly anticipated fall pieces vs. having to revert back to summer pieces that I had already mentally retired.

I brought a few new pieces with me that I've been dying to wear. The Zara scarf is just as wonderful as I expected it to be. It is BIG. I definitely felt like I was wearing a throw around my shoulders, but I like my scarves like I like my hair - GINORMOUS. These booties passed the comfort test. I knew they were great when I not only survived wearing them at the airport, which is a test in and of itself, but I had to stand in the longest customs line ever in Montreal and my feet were absolutely fine. And then as you read on Monday - I wore them walking around the city for six whole hours. I did have to retire them for dinner, but still!  The little break at dinner and I was able to wear them again the next day. And again today. That's awesome! As if I didn't love them enough already! And I'm soo very glad I decided to get this minus the leather moto jacket in a second color. My black one was on major repeat last year, and I know this oxblood one will get just as much, if not more, airtime. The fit is just perfect - and it's great for travel because it's not bulky (i.e. easy to pack) but still warmer than you would think for its weight.

OK, so all that being said - what did I actually wear?

I ended up wearing everything except for my herringbone vest. It was a little bit too cool to just wear the vest, even during the day, and I knew it would be too warm for me to wear on the travel home - the scarf is way easier to fold and put away if I were to get hot on the plane. My booties and oxblood jacket proved to be the right choices for this trip - I love how they make every outfit a little more special! Pretty sad to head back to real life. However, St. Louis Fashion Week officially starts today which means I will have all sorts of goodies to share with you over the next week and a half! Told you October was going to be crazy for me!
