Dressing up is something I consider a must for any trip that my friends and I go out on. So, as you can imagine, our trips to London, Lisbon, and Positano required quite a few outfits. During our three-day stay in London, multiple people stopped us and asked if it was their birthday because we were wearing our best clothes. We were just celebrating life, and took this FAQ as a compliment. After all that ado, I felt the need to let you all know what I ended up packing for the trip.
My suitcase was packed with plenty of statement pieces that grabbed attention. When in Rome, do as the Romans do, right? Below are 11 looks I wore that you might want to copy straight away.
In London, this classic black and white dress quickly became a hit for walking around town, and we’re sure Meredith Blake would love this style too.

Staud
Dolce cut-out stretch jersey mini dress
Everlane
ReLeather Court Sneakers
I can’t imagine a more comfortable and chic pair of sneakers to wear while traveling.
The second look I wore in London explored the ever-present Spice Girls aesthetic. Sometimes all you need is a sequin mini and a ribbed white tank top.

I captioned this photo “I’m not a minimalist RN” because when you wear a dress like this, you never want to go back to neutral colors.

This was the only statement necklace I packed, but it made a great impact.
