In just a few weeks, my mother and I are taking a brief journey to Paris — the town the place she birthed my sister and me, the place she raised us for 3 years, and the place we’d wiggle our toddler arms into baguettes to drag out the mushy white bread. My mother has been grieving her husband and I’m excited for this journey to assist cheer her up in a method that generally solely cheese and strolling can do.
I can’t wait. So! I’m curious: What do you normally pack for cold-weather journeys? For this February journey, I’ve landed on a primary journey uniform, which I’ll combine up a bit of every day however typically persist with:
First up: a navy sweater, which feels hotter and softer than black.
Beneath, I’ll pull on a layering tank. I just lately found and LOVE them. It’s so fairly to have a bit of lace on the neck (right here it’s, in motion). Though this one is splurgy, I’ve already worn it 4 occasions within the first two weeks, so the fee per put on goes to be good.
Subsequent, a trusty pair of boy denims that’s basic and cozy.
Then a inexperienced mac coat to put on over every part. I’m fortunate to have my great-aunt’s hand-me-down, however right here’s an excellent dupe.
One of the best socks, which are available in 18 colours.
And, lastly, final however not least, white sneakers, which may take you from croissant runs and museum rambles to park adventures and wine bars. (I’m additionally VERY into this retro model!)
Ideas? What do you put on on fall/winter journeys? I’d love to listen to any recs. (I additionally lastly acquired into packing cubes, and thanks a lot to the reader who advisable Child Cheeks🙂
P.S. My England packing record, and a genius honeymoon packing tip. Plus, a CoJ journey to Paris some time again with the world’s tiniest elevator, eeeeeeeeeks.
