Wardrobe Wednesday: European Vacation

Before we begin, I'd like to clear up some common misconceptions about Europe for our American friends.

  • Europe consists of many countries, cultures and social differences.
  • Therefore, what is acceptble in one country may not be acceptable elsewhere.
  • Therefore, despite what popular teen movies may lead you to believe, not every 'European" girl is going to be a bed hopping, nekkid happy, buxom babe.
  • Also, many parts of Europe are very damp. I still hold that Sinead O'Connor didn't shave her head to make a social statement - it was coz she was sick of fighting the frizzies.
Now, that being said - let us start our packing list:


Jeans - a must have - I recommend cropped jeans due to the afore mentioned damp - there's nothing worse than wandering around with wet hems - plus, they look adorable with ballet flats:



Which are another essential for wandering around cities.

Now, I mentioned the rain right? Check this baby out:



WANTS!

For the evening, one can never go wrong with the LBD - like this one from HauteCountryVintage:




Enjoy!

As I'm not American...

...and my husband isn't interested, I spent my day making one of my entries for Etsy's Handmade Moment Video contest. This is the funny one - and we had SUCH a laugh making it.

Huge, HUGE thanks to Holly @HauteCountryVintage for helping out - and to Joey for recording the music for me - kisses and loves.


Please go check it out - it's worth 30 seconds of your time - promise!
