My next trip is coming up and today I started to choose the clothes and accessories to wear in Paris in Fall. This is the first time I´m visiting the city in October. So first I checked the forecast, the average temperature, probability of precipitation and also checked some articles and lists of what the Parisians wear in this time of the year. I gathered all the information, adapted suggestions to my taste and style and prepared a list, that I now share with you.
When I travel I choose convenience over quantity. It’s not easy to leave some items behind, but I don´t like carrying on heavy luggages up and down…
Nowadays, I prefer to try my clothes on and choose the outfit at home rather than taking care of it during the trip. Well, today was the day. I´ve chosen pretty much everything, but will finish packing one day prior to departure, because I´ve been tracking the weather forecast daily and might have surprises… I do it on www.weather.com
I saw that in October the days are gray and the temperature is between 46ºF and 59ºF and the probability of raining is high … Adding this information to convenience and comfort I look for, here is my list for 10 days:
- Leather jackets: 3 … Neutral colors to throw with dresses and denim;
- Dresses: 8 … neutral, printed, long sleeve, short sleeve. They fit well with leather jackets and tights.
- Sweaters and cardigans: 5 … Basic colors to be worn over the dresses and underneath the jackets;
- Tights: I’m taking my black ones: 40 denier and wool tights, just in case;
- Coat: 1 black, for colder days or a special occasion;
- Shoes: 2 flat shoes, 1 espadrille, 1 high heel.
- Scarves: 5 … neutral and colorful ones
- Denim: 1 skinny – it goes well with everything!
- Purses: 2 crossbody bags
- Sunglasses: 2
Other than that, I always have pills for nausea, headache and fever. I do not bring many jewels and bijoux… Makeup, just the basics (I always buy some more during the trip). And I use Sealbag to protect my luggages!
Bisous,
Carol
