Are you sick of seeing this camel blazer yet? I had an extensive packing list for our trip to Paris, I promise. I planned on dressing in super chic, super Parisian outfits for our days and nights of wandering around the city. But then, I got sick two days before we left. I was at the doctor’s office just a few hours before I needed to meet the girls to leave for our flight, which left me about an hour to pack (while having a fever of 100.6). Needless to say, the only things that sounded remotely appealing to wear were casual, comfortable basics. (I wore my favorite jogger pants on the plane. God bless these acceptable-in-public sweat pants!)
My packing list…
Jackets / 3rd Pieces: Camel Blazer, Gray Cardigan
Tops: Black/White Striped Sweater, Blue/White Striped Tee, Chambray Shirt, Gray Tee, Black Tee
Pants: Blue Jeans, Black Jeans
Shoes: Black Booties, Greige Booties, Black Sneakers
Let’s just say that everything I brought definitely got a fewย good wears. By Day 3 in Paris when I was feeling a bit better, I was so bummed that I didn’t have anything remotely interesting to wear. Sure, I had a suitcase full of basics that were very easy to mix-and-match, but I was definitely bored with what I brought. Thank goodness Hallie let me raid her suitcase!
Anyway, back to our day at Jardin du Luxembourg! The fall foliage was absolutely incredible. It’s no secret thatย I’m a fall enthusiast and I just couldn’t get enough of the crunchy leaves on the ground and the amazing autumn colors on all of the trees. We had a scenic little picnic for lunch that day. And by picnic, I just mean croissants, a baguette, and a whole lot of cheese.ย Oh, and we had some fruit, too! It wasn’t all dairy & carbs. (And I’m shockingly not even talking about wine..)
Get the Look…

Hey! Can’t go wrong with classics! But I totally understand the feeling of boredom when you’re rushed to pack. I’m sure if Hallie hadn’t be able to share, you would have found no shortage of pretty things in the Parisian shops! Hope you had a great trip!

When you’re working with minimal suitcase space and international travel, sometimes basics are really just the best — all the more reason to buy a fun scarf or amazing vintage necklace while you’re there!
Ha! I wore this blazer yesterday too! In green! So cute Jessica! : )
