With T-minus 5 days until the group flight to Rome, my final week in the States has been a whirlwind of good times, good-byes, and good packing!\u00a0When it comes to choosing which of my precious garments get to embark on a semester-long field trip to Europe, I feel like Tyra Banks at the end of an episode of America’s Next Top Model, when she has to eliminate a contestant BUT THEY’RE ALL SO PRETTY SO IT’S A REALLY TOUGH DECISION! \u00a0Alas, I learned that when it comes to packing light, versatility is key. So, in my best imitation of Tyra Banks, here I am, modeling how to style the same pieces for multiple situations!<\/p>\n

Olive Green Sweater Dress in 3 Types of Weather:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"Green<\/p>\n

1. For the scorching hot days of September…<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ll wear the sweater dress plain, but add sunglasses to protect my eyes\u00a0from the scorching Mediterranean sun, slip\u00a0on Sperry’s for comfy walking as I explore the Eternal City, and carry an oversized purse to fit my Loyola\u00a0water bottle. Gotta stay hydrated!<\/p>\n

\"Green<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. When it starts to cool off in mid-autumn…<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ll throw a tan cardigan over my shoulders and wear tall leather boots to fit the fall mood. A cute drop necklace really adds to this outfit’s bohemian vibe!<\/p>\n

3. As the holiday season approaches…<\/strong><\/p>\n

I thrifted this comfy green vintage sweatshirt to compliment my green sweater dress, and black tights with black booties to keep warm. Hot chocolate not included \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

Printed Button-Down for 3 Different Occasions:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"Blouse<\/p>\n

1. At my internship…<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m channeling boss ladies everywhere, pairing my blouse with a conservative pencil skirt and some simple black flats. The Warby Parkers aren’t just fashionable….I actually need them to see.<\/p>\n

2. In class…<\/strong><\/p>\n

After I roll out of bed in the morning, I’ll opt for a simple outfit with blue jeans and my comfy Sperry’s. I suspect that class will also require a bit of reading, hence the glasses.<\/p>\n

\"Blouse<\/p>\n

3. For a night on the town…<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m imagining myself at a wine tasting (but that’s\u00a0grape juice in my hand). Pulling out the sunnies again with dressy shorts (check out the gold buttons!) and adorable wedges\u00a0(because stilettos and cobblestones aren’t friends).<\/p>\n

I hope this was helpful for my fellow last-minute packers and future Rome travelers! Remember, “versatile” is spelled the same in English and Italian \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
