On the Road Again!



My five week long trip to Europe started already. This trip was a packing nightmare. I have a cool weather conference that I have to present in, then a semi-formal hot weather meeting where I will present something daily for four days, then we are going to a hot weather conference for hubby, then a hot weather beach vacation and finally a cool weather active vacation. I was only allowed for one bag and I'm not a fan of big luggage fees. So I decided I will take only one suitcase with me and stop where it fills up. After all, with some smart decisions and a regular size carry-on, I was able to pack a vacation lot that I was happy with. Layering will be my friend and a lot of wearing same shoes over and over. Limited shoes is definitely not my thing, but I had to. :)



For the trip, I went for the legging look again. It's been very busy two weeks prior to this and will be like this for another two. I was looking forward to some comfortable traveling clothes. What's better than leggings and knits for that!



I got this shirt and soft cascading vest at New York and Company recently. I'm really happy with the quality of the vest. Strongly recommend it if you like cascading vest look. Everything I'm wearing are the exact links on the right to NY&Co.



I have a conference talk tomorrow. It's a bit cold here in Amsterdam. I'm even considering wearing this vest with my black pants, white shirt and pearls. Hope I get a chance to photograph.



Have a great vacation day if you're in the United States!
