Packing List: Mexico

Mexico was amazing! It’s hard to believe we almost didn’t make it there.

You may have noticed that I neglected to put up my traditional packing list before we left. The reason for that was because Andy and I spent the night before our departure turning over every couch cushion & rifling through every pocket, bag & box in the apartment looking for my passport.

It didn’t turn up and I dragged myself to work the next morning sniffling behind my sunglasses thinking I had ruined our trip. But lo and behold, Andy found it just in time (in my computer case of all places), we made it on the trip and had a fabulous time!

Here is what I packed in my suitcase. I scrounged around until I found some brightly colored accessories to offset my neutral clothing palette. My neon belt and colorful wedges were the perfect foil for a pair of black high-waisted shorts and my new favorite jumpsuit.

For the beach I paired some awesome round shades with an oversized denim shirt with rolled-up sleeves and my favorite little bikini. I toted last summer’s J.Crew gladiators (these might be a good update for this year) and a vintage kisslock clutch for sprucing things up a bit.

We’ve got so much to catch up on, Paris Fashion Week, John Galliano & Dior, long skirts, printed pants, and maybe (just maybe!) the first hint of Spring in the air out there! Feels good to be back.
