I am starting my Barcelona photo journal in conjunction with this month’s Petite Fashion Challenge, hosted by SkiPetite. Please visit her blog to see the other ladies’ outfits.
The challenge: “Put together an outfit made for sightseeing. It should be one that will be comfortable for walking around in and can last you from the early morning until dinner and drinks in the evening.”
How convenient! Instead of posting just one outfit, I’ll share how this habitual underpacker had to stretch a handful of garments over several days. I brought one of each: blouse, sweater, skirt, jacket, shorts, pants, bag, and scarf.
Thrifted skirt, H&M; pants, BR bag, Gap neon sweater & nude blouse (similar), Missoni scarf, Topshop jacket
Left: Super tender octopus in a potato puree – so good. Right: A satchel of cheese atop heirloom tomato salad.
Best ever tuna tartare w/ avocado and roe.
Colorful macarons at Mickey D’s.
Top: Freshly baked bread with oil, tomatoes & raw garlic to rub on. Bottom: Scrumptious scallops w/ prosciutto.
Lefties – Zara’s outlet store chain, where I finally found a kelly green blazer.
Disclosure: This trip was sponsored by Style Coalition and jcpenney.

I don't know if you will see this since this is an old post, but how do you bring/pack your DSLR when traveling? Do you have a case for it, and then you just put it in a large handbag like the BR bag in your photo? I am about to travel overseas and just received a DSLR as an early x-mas present, so I'm wondering what the best way to bring it would be! Thank you if you end up reading this comment!
You are the queen of packing light and looking so chic which is AWESOME! I'm so bad about bringing a billions outfits and things I don't need with me on trips *just in case*. I need to break that habit and this is a great reminder to do so next time I travel! <3
you made me miss Barcelona really bad! The shopping there was great!
