5 Things I Packed for 4 Countries

The heavy hitters I swear by

If there's one thing four countries in two months will teach you, it's that you wear about ten percent of what you pack. I've been living out of a suitcase since June, from Texas heat to Montana's cold nights to London drizzle to Copenhagen cool, and as I head in to my trip to France I have noticed there are the a handful of pieces kept earning their place while everything else just takes up room.

This is the less is more rule I preach about my closet, tested in the most brutal way possible: an airline weight limit. Here's what actually made the cut, and everything is linked.

Best Dress

There’s always one dress that really hits every summer and this year it’s honestly a tie between this white number by SIR. and this black backless beauty by Enza Costa. I’m most definitely packing both for France and am embarrassed by how much wear I’ve already score from both of these pieces.

Summer Sandal

I had this sandal by Amanu last year which should tell you something about how much I love it. So nice I’m wearing it two summers in a row. It honestly just goes with everything and they’re so comfortable. As far as heels go, this pair by Tibi are hands down my favorite and if they still had my size in stock I’d buy them in another color.

The Only Jacket

I can’t even begin to tell you how much wear and how many compliments I have received on my Nour Hammour Pia Jacket. It’s honestly my favorite piece in my closet currently. I have gotten a tremendous amount of wear out of this incredibly soft piece. It really ups the ante on all of the outfits.

Little Basic Bag

It holds so much and goes with everything. The best part about this simple little bag by my friends at Rose Room is that it takes up zero space. I wear mine day and night.

The Only Sweater

The only piece of cashmere that you’ll find me wearing all summer long is this super light weight piece by Jenni Kayne. I love it so much that I recently purchased an additional one in black. My friends have been drooling over it and you would too. It’s an easy piece that pairs well with everything. It’s pricey but I promise she’s worth it.
