How to get to Paris AND have an empty suitcase for the brocantes

Hello Lovelies,

Every time The Brocantess heads to France it's a challenge. What to wear, how to look stylish and be comfortable, what will we be in the mood to wear?

Well, not this time. A plan is in order and this is just the woman to take on the challenge.

Here is the idea.....


Cardigan Wrap in Black

My convertible Complex Geometries Tee

Multiple pairs of leggings in black

Comfy long scarf

EmersonMade's White Dahlia pin

Complex Geometries Cell Sweater

Distressed jeans

Jack Purcell sneakers

EmersonMade's Symphony Rose
and Ballet Dahlia
Long black dress

Statement piece of jewelry

My Ann D. boots

1, 11- J Jill, 2, 6 -Complex Geometries, 3, 7, 8-J Crew, 4-Uniform Natural,
5, 9, 10-Emersonmade, 12-Hermes bangles (via MaiTai's Picture Book Blog)

Must say, The Brocantess is feeling a bit proud right now. These with a couple of tanks, tees, a few unmentionables and my leopard print swing coat from THE ROSE BOWL and I'm done.

Let's just see if the plan can be adhered to!

xoxo,

The Brocantess
Hey Emerson---Do you think Mouse would like to stow away in my bag and head to France?

well
this is pretty much what i pack
in my rick steves roll*on...
minus the boots
with RED converse chuck taylors
instead of the BLACK jack purcells
and it works for me
most places around the world...

:-)

PS--i use the comfy long scarf
{{ mine is lighter blue }}
to wrap my head
and cover my face
when i want to sleep
and i am seated next to
too chatty seat-mates on the plane.
helps keep germs a bay, as well,
i feel. }}

yep!
you pretty much
went through my suitcase here
and it works wonderfully 4 me.

let me know what you think...
