Planning a Travel Wardrobe

Some friends of mine just left for Paris (luckies!) and we had a lot of fun planning their wardrobe itineraries this week. We finalized every outfit down to the earrings and shoes. We even started matching their outfits, so that they’d look good standing next to each other! Neurotic, yes. And totally GENIUS.

Before they left, I handed them a stack of index cards that outlined both their travel itineraries and their wardrobe itineraries. Read on to see what I mean.

The first stack of index cards were the travel itinerary, broken down by day:

The second stack was the wardrobe itinerary, broken down by outfit:

They could spend their airplane time matching up their outfits to each other’s (i.e. “We can’t both wear polka-dots that day!”) and to the day’s activities. They could even switch things around based on the weather forecast, for one. Take a look:

Clearly I’d prefer to be in Paris, but I loved that being part of this got me as close as I can possibly be right now. So have a great time, girls! See you soon!
