I've never been to Europe, but my bucket list is full of countries, landmarks, and people I want to see if I ever get the chance to go. I've imagined how much fun it would be to travel from Ireland to Italy, stopping at as many countries as I can in between. There would be limitless activities, and each country would offer its own charms and secret treasures.
Here is my packing list for my someday-trip to Europe:

I was able to get 57 outfits from all this...plenty of choices for an extended trip! Here's my travel outfit:
By wearing the heaviest/bulkiest items, more space is cleared up for everything else! Here are the outfit combinations I came up with, basing each group on a different top. Enjoy!
Asymetrical Sweater Outfits
Striped Black Dress Outfits
Black T-Shirt Outfits
Black Tunic Outfits
Ivory Silk Blouse Outfits
Printed Sundress Outfits
Striped Boatneck Tee Outfits
Printed Silk Blouse Outfits
White Button-Up Blouse Outfits
White T-Shirt Outfits
I also added ideas for places one might want to wear each outfit...keep in mind this (imaginary) trip covers many countries and multiple weeks. I had fun dreaming up activities I would like to do in Europe and matching outfits to them.
If you're planning your own European vacation, maybe you'll find some inspiration from these outfits. Until next time!
