Travel Wear: Thematic Dressing

When it comes to travel wear, I am a very thematic dresser. When I go to pack for a trip, I usually think of a color scheme and then work around that. For my recent 4 day weekend trip to Shanghai, I went with all black with pops of white or red. Black is one of the easiest color schemes for travel wear. It’s easy, it doesn’t stand out, and it seems to make me feel rather sleek. I wore the same shoes the entire weekend, and since I knew I’d be walking a ton, I packed my trusty combat type booties from my mom. They are so comfortable; they’re like wearing pillows on my feet. Aside from the Louella Odié tote, I also wore a belt bag–no it’s not a fanny pack, but yes it looks similar to one. If you have belt loops, it does slips inside and acts as a belt as well as purse. A belt bag is definitely more cool than a fanny pack. (Of course, it’s all a matter of opinion.) I made sure to have plenty of layers since Shanghai’s weather heats up with the shine of the sun and cools down with the slightest breeze. I kept a scarf tight against my neck the entire time; it offers sure warmth, and in this case that accent of white. And, for the pop of red, I only wore this lipstick the entire weekend. Seriously, travel wear with a theme is the way to go!
