anyway, why can't one dress properly when travelling? does travelling mean one has to be dressed sloppily and only in baggy pants and shirts? ewww.....how horrible if that is all that you pack in your bag.
i make it a point to be presentable because one sometimes only have one chance to go to that place and take memorable photos. hence, dressing for the occasion is definitely essential in this case.
so let's see how far i got with my clothes in my trip and some layerings, 1 scarf, 2 pairs of jeans, 2 pairs of shoes and a bag, oh and my pair of sunnies. accessories- mulberry bracelet and a swarovski pendant necklace....hardly visible under all those layers.
this was what i wore on the first day and that means i also wore that on the flight at midnight. jeans- evisu (my preferred brand) and boyfriend long sleeve shirt from gap. that lightweight pink vest was part of a winter jacket from nike. was holding my tangerine thick cotton jacket with hoodie from nike too. bag- my balenciaga brogue. shoes- brown boots.
that same night, after checking in at the hotel, took away the vest and brought out my cotton scarf from uniqlo. wanted to bring the pashmina red scarf but since i was already having so many red jackets, what was the point.
aaah...day 2. all bright and sunny in spring. but still kinda cold. another pair of evisu jeans. a blue cotton buttoned vest and that same scarf. a yellow pair of hi-top reebok.
take away the scarf and you see my cdg white tee shirt with skull prints.
later in the evening, don't let the bright sun fool you. the jacket came out again to beat the cold.
day 3 at the stone foresst. legs will look longer in the right pair of jeans and in this case, a pair of skinny which is quite well-tailored. had a cacharel shirt underneath the jacket with another long sleeved striped shirt underneath that cacharel shirt. 3 layers!
see that striped long sleeve under the cut-out patterned blue cacharel shirt? i love this combination.
day 4....same old nike jacket, same old vest but another checked shirt from gap.
ran down from the bus for a quick photo session. it was really windy but the vest kept me warm. felt so western in that checked shirt. where was my cowboy boots?
day 5....a higher altitude so time to change the jacket. a pale purple grey puma jacket. slightly puffy but definitely a wind breaker.
aha- so a long sleeve white shirt underneath the jacket.
day 6- i think i had 3 layers there. a hoodie, that puma jacket and this nike all condition gear jacket. looks like i was going skiing haha.
off with the nike acg, and left with the puma jacket and the hoodie.
off with the puma jacket and only my hoodie from nike which i bought from kunming. it is not baggy but slim fitting and you can't find the label on the outside of the shirt which i like.
day 7...world heritage ancient city, a bright bright day. that turqoise bag carried my notebook. we had to board the flight at night hence everything was packed and in the bus. i did not like leaving my mac in the bus, so i brought it down and lugged it with me. still that puma jacket.
and i chucked the jacket into the bag when it got warmer in the day in the ancient city of li jiang. chilled out with my dali beer, the book i had brought along and in my officially favourite hoodie. ok...so i wore the hoodie two days in a row. i did not sweat at all ok and inside that hoodie i was wearing another piece of heat-tech long sleeve shirt from uniqlo. ok, i am scared of cold. it is better to stay all warm and covered than to catch a cold when you travel.oh, a little peek at that mulberry bracelet i was wearing there.
hm....come to think of it, i did not bring so many clothes there did i? well, the key is to mix and match and be comfortable in what you are wearing. but never compromise style lah. stay fit!
